Pleased
With

W.
Solway,
Vancouver,
commis
sioner
for
the
Boy
Scouts'
Association,
who
has
been
in
the
city
for
a
few
days,
paid
a
number
of
compliments
to
Prince
Rupert
in
a
brief
address
to
the
Rotary
Club
yesterday.
He
said
the
green
grass
here
was
enough
to
make
Vancouver
en
vious.
He
was
much
inspired
by
the
beauty
of
the
wonderful
inside
pn-s-ge
as
he
came
north
and
he
found,
on
arrival,
a
beautiful
city
Ion
a
beautiful
harbor.
The
visitor
urged
that
the
city
pound
away
to
secure
the
building
of
the
highway.
Once
It
was
built
the
city
would
be
pestered
with
tourists
iust
as
was
Vancouver
to
day.
Possibly
she
would
get
more
than
were
wanted.
Mr.
Solway
mentioned
the
won
derful
resources
of
the
province
but
mentioned
that
the
chief
resource
was
the
boys
and
girls
who
were
growing
up.
What
was
B.
C.
going
to
do
with
them?
It
was
a
question
that
had
to
be
answered.
In
conclusion
that
visitor
hlnleo
at
what
might
come
as
a
result
of
the
coming
Empire
Conference.
He
said
that
the

was
