City Is In Fortunate Position Today; Power Development Ominous Forraer4tkttorncy General Urges Business Men to Help Boost Resources and Develop City and District Industries Declaring that Prince Rupert was weathering the present world depression with less unemployment and want than any other city in British Columbia, predicting that the large investment being made here in hydro-electric development by the Power Corporation of Canada would result in new industries being established locally in the near future and urging his hearers to use their best efforts towards the boosting-of the city's and district's advantages and the developing of their resources, A. M. Manson K.C, ML A., gave a coolg- -' . and well thought-out address before the Prince Rupert Retail Merchants' Association at dinner in the Boston Oafe last evening.

When he first came here, the speaker continued, he had believed that the city had a great future and, down through the years, the view had persisted with him that Prince Rupert was bound to become a place of consequence. Its strategic position made it logical that it should be developed. Canada as a nation arid a country was fts yet merely In its infancy, dsclared Mr. Manson. Such development as there had so far been was "t a mere scratching of the surface ,nd no one .could foretell what the :reaCruB0t the couijr' was to be. .Vrhaps fhe history of grain grow-1'iK on the prairies might be an illustration of what mtslit oome to pass In other industries.
