TRADE NEGOTIATIONS Negotiations in rep-arrl rn tha fvo,i0 nr.. tween Great Britain and the United States will commence ,' soon and it is said there are something like a thousand1 articles which may possibly be affected. This means that the discussions will last some time, especially in view of' the fact that Great Britain will also be bargaining on be-! half of a number of dependencies with which United' fetates does business. These include particularly Ceylon Malay States, Gold Coast, the Bermudas and Bahamas! Canada is vitally affected and for that reason the Washington negotiations will be watched with great interest. ; , RAILWAY TO COAST Prince Rupert has never opposed the building of a railway inland from Stewart because it is felt in this city that to a very large extent the interests of Prince Rupert and' Mewart are one. This city has, however, strongly urged the buildirig of a railway to connect the Peace River country with Prince Rupert and that is still being urged It is up to Stewart to show, if it can, that Stewart is the logi-' cal outlet for the line. j minister of mines and industries who is also the member for Atlin, is advocating the building of a railway from the Peace River country through the Groundhog Valley to Stewart. As member for Atlin it would be difficult for Mr. Asselstine to do any-think else. By routing through the Groundhog Valley, it is inferred that the coal fields of the district would be tapped and the coal shipped to the coast. Another way to tap the Groundhog coal fields would be by bringing the coal to Hazelton or some other point on the Canadian National Railway and into Prince Rupert. This was a route originally planned when local people were interested in a scheme to develop the Groundhog coalfields. At that time the argument was that Prince Rupert already had a fully developed port and that the ship-ping of anthracite coal would go well with the shipping of grain. Mr. Asselstine, as member for Atlin, is bound to look after the interests of his consituents but as minister of Industrie?, he is bound to represent every part of the country, including Prince Rupert and Skeena. Every possibility of development should be explored and the best possible means of development be adopted, irrespective of what districts may or may not be served. As a member of the provincial government, we hope we shall have an opportunity of placing before Mr. Asselstine the views of Prince Rupert on the Peace River outlet and the desirability of connecting Prince Rupert, with Terrace by highway at the earliest possible date. It's interesting to know when reading the Daily News that the people of the whole district are doing the same.

THK DAII4T NTWH Thucsday, Jan GRAND OLD j RAILROADER) BRITISH . .'41'' No. 1 Birthday In Vancouver VANCOUVER, Jan. 27: Canada's grand old man of railroading cele brated his ninetieth birthday here today in the person of Thomas H. COLUMBIA - mi ' t 1 White, the last of the great railway , builders. He retired In 1922 as chief engineer of construction for the Canadian National Railways. Still hale and hearty and as mentally alert as ever, he varied his routine not one lota although telegrams of congratulations poured in on him from all over the country. "I stopped having birthdays long ago," he chuckled to his many callers. One of the early messages came from. S. J. Hungerford, chairman and president of Canadian National Railways and president of Trans-Canada Airlines, who wired: "All officers Join In congratulations to the grand old man of the Canadian National System on attaining your ninetieth birthday. Proud to have been associated with you in railroading through many of those four score years and ten." Other messages came from ofr fleers and members of the Engineering Institute of Canada, of which Mr. White is a life member; former business associates arid a host of friends In railway life across the country Including A. E. Warren, Western Vlce-Prsldent for the Canadian National Railways, a friend of long standing. Although bom In St. Thomas, Ont... it Is fitting that Mr. White lives retired In British Columbia for he was railway surveying for the government here in 1874, five years after he started his railway career with the old Canada Southern, now part of the Michigan Central in southwestern Ontario. Few men have left their Imprint on Canada as has Mr. White, In his time he built railroads In every province of, Canada save one. While still In his early thirties he was a senior engineer locating what Is now the Canadian Pacific line through the Fraser Canyon In British Columbia. In 1895 he made his first business connection with the Canadian Northern Railway and located one of its early lines In Manitoba. Here before his experience had been con fined to Ontario and British Col umbia. In Mr. White the railway had unbounded confidence. The physical construction of this railway empire across Canada was very largely the work of Thomas White Nor was his work confined to Canada. On two occasions he made trial locations In Mexico and the Yukon. Crowning Avhievement The crowning achievement of a railwajr llftelme of more than half a century was his construction of what Is today the Canadian National main line through the Rockies. In 1907 he started his surveys Clara Michaluk Is Dead Today Local Oirl Passes Away In Hospi LEADERS $ lap G&JU mtZ On tht rrtirrmrnl of Premier Sir Richard Mtllriiie in Dec, WIS, Ur. . J.

It flattened out the mountains for op-eratlng purposes and .made huge economies possible In the movement of traffic. When he brought a seo ond railway line through the Ftas-er Canyon to Vancouver with slmt-lar easy grades he accomplished a feat that amazed the engineering world. One 0f Mr. White's last big jobs was the construction of the Ca: adlan National's terminal In Vancouver when he transformed the mud flats of False Creek Into a val-jable Industrial area in the heart of the city.
