to

To
Sec
That
British
Columbia's
Railway
Rights
Are
Protected
Tli
re
is
a
persistent
rumor
going
around
to
the
effect
(lint
liritish
Columbia
is
to
get
very
little
benefit
from
ti
proposed
Peace
River
outlet
scheme,
due
to
the
route
li
.at
is
to
be
taken.
At
present
the
Monkman
Pass
with
an
outlet
at
or
near
Hansard
is
reported
to
be
the
route
favored.
It
is
said,
and
that
with
considerable
authority,
fhrt
hc
Hansard
route
is
the
only
one
surveyed
and
that
tin:
railway
authorities
very
strongly
favor
it
as
giving
tiic
possibility
of
most
rapid
returns
on
the
investment.
While,
doubtless,
the
railways
are
a
very
important
factor
in
the
present
situation,
the
people
of
the
country
tfini!d
also
have
some
say
as
to
where
the
railway
should
lie
l
atcd.
The
probability
is
that
the
railways
will
be
asking
for
privileges.
Judging
from
the
forecast
in
connect
on
w
ith
the
railway
heads
meeting
Premier
Tolmie,
the
Province
of
liritish
Columbia
will
be
asked
for
help
in
connection
with
this
project.
In
view
of
that,
British
i
oumbia
should
have
some
say
as
to
w
her,c
the
railway
hould
be
built.
I
ruler
the
Monkman
Pass
scheme
British
Columbia
t.ould
be
practically
ignored
insofar
as
new
construction
n
concerned.
It
would
tap
the
rich
grain
country
around
(.randc
Prairie
and
the
crops
from
British
Columbia
would
have
to
be
hauled
eastward
as
at
present,
only
not
m
tar.
and
then
southward
andjvest.
Of
all
the
routes
Tcsted
the
Hansard
route
is
the
least
attractive
to
1'ritisli
Columbia
as
offering
the
least
development
and
the
poorest
service.
According
to
all
the
information
available,
the
Hansard
"-oute
would
open
up
very
little
new
productive
country,
whereas
the
alternative
routes,
either
that
through
the
Tine
Pass
or
the
more
northerly
one
through
the
Peace
iv
ould
develop
a
wonderful
country,
rich
in
produc-
1
i;
rm
land,
timber
and
mines.
It
would
serve
the
Pi
i-(
River
block,
which
is
generally
accepted
to
be
the
I.
,:c
t
part
of
the
Peace
River
country
and
would
open
im
a
good
stretch
of
country
west
of
that
in
British
Co-lrn;,;a,

It
would
make
little
difference
to
the
port
of
Prince
Rupert
"whether
the
Hansard
route
rr
mc
of
the
otner
routes
were
chosen,
if
the
latter
turned
southward
toward
Prince
George.
It
would
make
a
dif-Vi
-t
n
e
to
us,
however,
as
citizens
of
British
Columbia
to
see
that
our
own
province
is
developed.
Now
look
at
it
from
the
point
of
view
of
the
Peace
!?
vcr
farmer.
The
Hansard
route
to
Vancouver
would
be
a
much
more
costly
route
for
hauling
grain
from
the
'I;
iti
h
Columbia
Peace
River
block
than
would
either
of
''l
:tfher
routes.
That
would
mean
that
the
farmers
of
the
Ptace
would
be
handicapped
by
just
that
much.
They
r
ould
be
the
people
who
would
suffer.
The
rate
is
always
:
t
to
give
a
profit
in
hauling
to
the
most
difficult
compc-'
1
ivc
port
and
in
this
case
it
would
be
set
to
suit
Vancouver
to
the
disadvantage
of
the
farmer.
In
saying
this

no
objection
to
the
method

which
is
