NORTHERN AND CENTRAL BRITISH COLUMWA'S NEWSPAPER Vol. XXIV., No. 135 PRINCE RUPERT, B.C., MONDAY, JUNE 11, 1934 PRICE: FIVE CENTO TWO FIVE SEAMEN DROWN WHEN NEWFOUNDLAND BOAT SINKS EDITORIAL PRINCE RUPERTS PRESSING NEED Now tlut many of Vancouver' leading cltlxem are here He are (lad to take the opportunity of asUnf their cooperation In e-curifijc the completion of the Northern HrltUh Columbia highway connecting Prince Itupert with Alberta. Vancouver people are often accused of beint Inaular. It U luld that they ran ee no farther than the boundaries of the city In which they lire and that they have no sympathy with the aspiration of lraer communities. We do not believe that We know that many Vancouver rltlinu are keenly Interested In the welfare and pro-jrni of the whole province and wrll they may. In the final analytic, all nuftincts cr Vancouver. What benefits Prince Uupcrt benefits them. Prince Kupert is In the anoma-loTf? position nf being a city without a highway. Jt Is possible for cltlfMis to drive only MVtn or elht milrs beinnd the city boundaries. Tlie'clly Is shut In and the citiiens feci their position keenly. No other cltr suffers from uch neglect of highway ptmibilitics. Even Ketchikan, built on an island and only little more than half the Mie of Prince Kupert, Is able to take a twenty-mile drive. Little has been said about this highway project during the past two or three years In which the work has been flopped, because we knew the financial condition of the province. What we hoped and eipected was that work would be carried on in order to avoid placing mi many people on relief. If they had been able to work for a living on the construction of this highway they would have continued as self-respecting citiiens. Today we see the dawn of a new-era, We sec prosperity, not around the corner, but actually casting out the depression and taking its place. We arc feeling that to some extent In Prince Kupert. What we need Is the co-operation of the south where the big vote and Influence tends to pall everything to the big centres and the little places have small chance politically or Industrially. Vancouver Is coming to appreciate that If the city Is to continue to grow and prosper, the whole province must grow In wealth and prosperity. If wc in the north arc starved we cannot help feed Vancouver. We want co-operation In our highway projert, co-operation In developing the shipping of this port, co-operation In connection with the mines and mills and other sources of wealth. This Is what we ask and It seems an opportune time to draw the attention of our vlillors to it. wheat prices VANCOUVER, June 11: (CP) Wheat, was quoted nt 75c on the local exchange on Saturday and advanced to 75:Uc today'.
