It ! would be the greatest colonizatSon move the country could adopt, especially at a time when people are looking to the rand as the basis of all prosperity. It's a long road that has no turning. We seem to have been coasting down hill for several years and it seems as if the bottom of the Valley of Depression must have been reached. Now we shall have to step on the gas to get back again to the high country where the sun shines all the time.

No money it expended unless it is looked upon "as an absolute necessity. It is at a time like this when the advantages of the Pacific outlet to the sea should be recognized by all Canadians. It is the hope of a very large section of the country, particularly of that new and rapidly growing young empire through which the Peace River flows. PRINCE RUPERT WAS BUILT TO BE THE WESTERN OUTLET the logical point from which the -grain of the Peace Should be shipped. There are other points which might be made available but the railway is already built into Prince Rupert from Edmonton by the best grade of any line on the continent. The port is already here and a fine elevator ready to receive the grain. No expense is necessary except for the piece of rail way connecting the existing Peace River railways with the main line of the Canadian National at some point between Hansard and the coasts With that operated jointly by the two big railway companies and with the C. P. R. granted suitable running privileges over the C. N. R. to enable them to do business on an equality with their competitor, the business of hauling grain to the Pacific by the best possible route can commence. While this is a time when strictest economy is being practised everywhere, it is a time when the employment of labor in a laree way is eminently desirable. Men are out of work and must be fed. The reasonable thing wouM be to set tb;ri to work on big undertakings of a productive nature and this Peae River Pacific outlet is one that lends itself to the purpose, especially ?f one of the longer and more economical routes such as that to Hazelton should be adopted. SETTLERS ARE STILL POURING INTO THE PEACE COUNTRY The towns are growing into cities and the villages into towns. The people are a unit in demanding a western outlet and they have adopted the Prince Rupert attitude which is that it be built by the most feasible route to the coast. The location of this route means everything to the country. If it should be built south instead of west and should go by a tortuous route with mountain grades instead of by way of a perfect water grade to the sea, it would mean that high freight rates would be set to enable the railways ' to earn dividends under the difficult circumstances. A case in point is that of the C. P. R. which wasjbuilt through the difficult Kicking Horse Pass and as a result of which a mountain differential had to be established. It would be little short of a crime to place a permanent embargo on all western shipments from the Peace River country, especially at a time ; when people are looking for the most economical way of carrying on the business of the country and enabling the farmers to compete with grain growers in other countries to the best advantage. The interests of the grain growers should be paramount. Any line that is built should be for the purpose of serving them and not to advantage any particular port or district. PRINCE RUPERT IS THE PORT OF THE WESTERN ROUTE for the products of Northern Alberta and British Columbia. The port has one of the finest harbors in the world, open all the year round and easily accessible from the ocean. It has one of the most up-to-date elevators suited for terminal chippTng purposes. It has docks suited for deep sea shipping, a large dry dock and shipyard and other conveniences that go to the making of a port, such as a quarantine station, wireless and radio telephone stations. Nothing is lacking. The port is ready for business, the railway is ready to carry the grain and all that is needed is the western connection with it from the Peace country. It would seem the part of statesmanship for any government to enable . fuchmodern facilities to be used for the benefit of the Peace River far- mers and at the same time to provide employment for that army of men vho today are clamoring for honest jobs to enable them to live as decent citizens of Canada.
