in

along

lines
lies
the
future
prosperity
of
Prince
Rupert
In
the
opinion
of
Rev.
C.
D,
Clarke,
pastor
of
First
United
Church
as
expressed
last
night
by
Mr.
Clarke
In
addressing
the
regular
monthly
dinner
meeting
of
the
Prince
Rupert
Chamber
of
Commerce.
He
told
of
how
a
start
was
being
made
by
the
salmon
fishermen
In
cooperative
marketing
of
their
fish.
He
would
like
to
see
such
a
scheme
started
among
the
halibut
fishermen.
After
all,
declared
Mr.
Clarke,
fishing
was
Prince
Rupert's
basic
Industry
and
on
it
depended
the
livelihood
and
economic
welfare
of
the
community.
Speaking
of
the
tendency
of
communities
to
depend
on
governments
to
do
things
for
them,
Mr.
Clarke
stated
that
the
government
had
already
been
a
great
Santa
Claus
for
Prince
Rupert.
It
had
provided
the
dry
dock,
ocean
dock
and
elevator.
But
it
was
wrong
to
expect
the
government
to
do
everything.
Prosperity
was
not
to
be
looked
for
from
the
outside.
It
should
come
from
within,
he
thought.
Without
going
into
the
natural
advantages
that
Prince
Rupert
might
have
In
Its
claim
to
be
made
the
railway
outlet
to
the
Peace
River,
Mr.
Clarke
proceeded
to
dls-
icuss
the
possibility
of
getting
the
outlet.
First,
the
Canadian
Pacific
Railway,
which
he
believed
had
:nore
Influence
at
Ottawa
than
the
whole
Canadian
Chamber
of
Commerce,
would
oppose
an
outlet
at
any
point
other
than
one
on
s
own
lines.
And.
even
should
a
Peace
River
outlet
be
built
Ho
Prince
Rupert,
It
would
be
found
when
It
was
ready
that
the
Canadian
Pacific
would
meet
Us
rates
for
shipping
grain
to
Vancouver.
Even
as
a
political
scheme,
Mr.
Clarke
did
not
think
much
of
Prince
Rupert's
chances
to
get
the
Peace
River
outlet.
The
Hudson
Bay
Railway
had
been
built,
because
of
the
political
pressure
of
three
entire
provinces.
Not
more
than
three
ridings
would
be
Interested
In

Peace
River
outlet
to
Prince
Rupert.
