Buckley when le announced that they were about to proceed with the rganization of a pulp plant at Prince Rupert, was its moderation. There was no bombast and no promises were made. It was simply a business statement that a group of nen were going about a big business venture in a business-tike way. He admitted that it would take some time to get When the railways reported that they did not consider the time ripe for building a Pacific outlet to the Peace River they were looking at it from the cold business point of view. They are already getting the business from the Peace country and charging the farmers for carrying their grain. The rates they charge take pretty much all the farmers earn but the rate is justified because of the Minjjiv u siiiau cui-uu mai wuuiu upeu ujj nu new tumai) i and would not be of any benefit to British Columbia. All it would do would be to make a slightly better outlet from j the Alberta section of the Peace River country. If the government of Canada decides to undertake the j work it should do so in a permanent manner, building a road that will serve British Columbia as well as Alberta, j It seems as if the railways turning down the project paved the way for the government to undertake it. The railways had the first chance. Now that they have failed the government would be quite justified in going ahead. It has been the general opinion for some time past that the work would have to be undertaken by the federal government It is a national undertaking and will benefit the whole country, the maunfacturers in the east as well as Lhe people of the west NEWS OF THE MINES AROUND PRINCE RUPERT Gold i Plentiful at McConnell Creek Scries of Mining Lectures Smithers Mining Man Writing Articles M.

The Colonel was in good form as he talked in his usually bright and cheery and at times eloquent style to the members of the Rotary Club at the luncheon yesterday. With him was Captain E. C.

Some Back History The members of the club were then reminded of the setbacks the city had received. The war had come just when progress was being made. Then the railway had gone into liquidation and at last came the world depression. The Alaskan business had been cut off by adverse legislation at Washington but the city still enjoyed the same advantages as when It was founded. He looked upon it as his home town. Quoting from Hon. Joseph Howe 'A ho was an optimist 80 years ago, I believe those within the sound of my voice will hear the whistle of the steam engine in the passes of the Rockies." The Colonel said that miracle had come to pass when the railway went through to Vancouver, yet it was Jeered at by people in the east in those days. It was optimists like Joseph Howe wly built up the "The centre of population Is eluded the Colonel. fcThls century belongs to the Pacific and If the hopes of the early settlers are to be luctifled we must put on a bold front and have faith always."
