DAILY EDITION. ID Monpay, JAN. 29 SHALL PRINCE RUPERT OR VANCOUVER GET THE PEACE RIVER COMMERCE? That the Vancouver newspapers are straining every nerve, stretching every point, twirling and twisting every available geographical and other fact to support a meretricious argument that Vancouver is the natural and only seaport for the Peace River country, many of our readers have noticed and commented upon, as if seems to them that if the Vancouver people are mak- ing such a strenuous agitation to secure the commerce of the Peace River country, surely Prince Rupert people should be taking some steps in the way of argument or otherwise in the endeavor to prevent this commerce being stolen from them. It is wise, of course, to show that we are fully alive to the situa- tion, but there is no apparent reason to ring up an emergency call or to get worked up about it. Prince Rupert is strong in her position. Vancouver is fighting a desperate chance. There is no reason for us to worry about it because by the time the Peace River country has any commerce worth going after the Grand Trunk Pacific’s branch line will be tapping the immense coalfields in the Groundhog Mountain district and running spurs from this to the northward and eastward along the Peace River. When a case is presented in a court the learned counsel for the defense generally first addresses himself to the arguments put up on the other side. Following this example it might prove interesting and probably instructive to dissect as briefly as pos- sible the argument filed by Vancouver.

WHARF 1911 The Bank of British North America 75 Years in Business, Capital and Reserve Over $7,300,000 1836 In the Vancouver News-Advertiser of January 5th is a long} report of a meeting of business men and of a resolution to be! presented to Premier McBride praying for a railway to form) a direct connection with the Peace River district, and the News-| Advertiser says: “Two of the main features (of the preamble) were that as there is very little timber of commercial value in the Peace River country it would open up a great market for British Columbia lumber, and that with the completion of the Panama Canal Vancouver would be the nearest and most direct seaport for the Peace River country.” There is no doubt about the Peace River country becoming a great market for British Columbia lumber, but that is no reason why it should be hauled all the way from Vancouver. There are untouchd forests of it north of here. But how in the name of the great Horn Spogn the completion of the Panama Canal can bring Vancouver nearer to the Peace River country, and what | good it would do the Peace River settlers if it did, needs a very | lucid explanation. One of the speakers, Mr. Frederic Buscombe | (it is hoped that is the proper spelling), is quoted as saying al this meeting: “The products of the great north should flow to the world through the ports of Vancouver, and through the ports of Van- couver should flow the supplies of the world for this country.” There is no earthly reason why they should, Mr. Buscombe, if they follow the natural law of the course of least resistance and take the quickest route, What competition can Vancouver make with a single company operating a fleet of steamers from Great Britain to Moncton, a railway from there crossing the con- tinent to Prince Rupert, and a fleet of steamers from here by the shortest route to the Orient and around the globe to Great Britain? This is what Prince Rupert has to offer to the Peace River settlers in return for their trade. Evidently those Vancouver editors are of the opinion that the opening of the Panama Canal will not only bring their port nearer to the equator, but also to the North Pole, for in the Van- couver Province of the 3rd instant one may read this little gem: “When Vancouver is brought as near as it will be through the means of the Panama Canal, to the British manufactory, this city should become the dis- tributing point for the whole interior country, almost to the eastern boundary of Alberta, and as far north as settlement can go. This is a simple business propo- y sition. But the achievement of that result depends is upon railway connection,” | Of course it does. But it depends also upon the Panama Canal stopping at Vancouver and not making Prince Rupert a port of call, and upon the Grand Trunk Pacific transcontinental railway, with the vessels of that company circling the globe, @eing put completely out of business.
