GRAHAM. ot Mr. George P. Graham, who was returned to parliament last week as member for South Renfrew, was a visitor to Prince! tupert with Sir Wilfrid Laurier, and is therefore personally known to most of our leading citizens. But Liberals here, there} and everywhere were pleased to read of his election and Jhis| defeat of the whole combined forces of the Aeuservative party. Like all good things, however, the news has a slightly acrid flavor, for it is said to mean the early retirement of Sir Wilfrid from parliament. Mr. Graham was a leading member of Sir Wilfrid’s cabinet and now will be his chief lieutenant in the) House of Commons. His ability and his experience in public affairs naturally assure to him that position. It may be that the) constant rumors as to the retirement of Canada’s Grand Old Man! come from Conservative sources, but should it occur the party) and the country will be abundantly satisfied that the mantle) of leadership should fall upon such able shoulders as those of George Graham. ofwoney DICK M’BRIDE’S RAILWAY POLICY. _°’ None of the leading coast papers seem to have much to y/say in support of the railway policy of the provincial government, and those of the opposite side in politics are riddling it with sar-| castic shot. The Vancouver World predicted that when the Assembly passed the six railway bills no reason would remain) for its existence, or the existence of any government nominally) representing the people. It goes on to say that the affairs of} the province might as well be placed in the hands of a board| nominated by the railway companies and contractors, just as} Egypt is administered for the benefit of the bondholders. With money grants and guarantees of principal and interest} the revenues for a generation to come are pledged in advance.| The little fifty-mile line called the Shuswap & Okanogan has| cost the province twenty thousand a year for twenty years already} in interest and debentures. What are we likely to have to pay for the many hundred miles of roads guaranteed during the next forty years, even if succeeding legislatures do not add to the huge, accumulating debt? The World goes on to say: It may be said that the lines are sure to pay, but are they? The maps of the projected railways show paralleling in a dozen directions. The very Shuswap & Okanagan, running down a narrow valley, which does not pay its expenses yet, is to have another road along- side it, and on Vancouver Island the roads either run within a few miles of each other or the newly-subsi- dized one strikes off into mountain regions which will not provide a carload of produce to a township in half a century. We have asked for one coast-to-Kootenay road. Now, it appears, we are to have two—at our own expense. As to the one other absolutely necessary line, that to the Peace River, we are given, not a complete and properly formulated scheme, but a road which goes only half the distance and, instead of the province building it and then leasing it to the Grand Trunk Pacific, a firm of middlemen are to step in, make one profit out of the province and another out of the com- pany. Finally, the people are to have no voice in the matter at all. The Toronto Star calls attention to the fact that the friends | of the same C. P. R. which makes excuses for its inability to} handle the traffic of the west eight years ago were opposing the | Laurier administration for encouraging the G. T. P. and loudly | asserted that the C. P. R, and C. N. R. could handle all western | traffic for generations to come. | A couple of years ago Mr. Borden was alarmed about a war that threatened the mother land and insisted that the emergenc | sheuld be met by a dreadnought or so, But now when the war | clouds do lower and threaten, Mr. Borden has no thought of) danger and doesn’t even care to talk about a naval policy. - —— or costa No Man Need Use Poor Printing Unless He is Willing and Satisfied The man who is able to buy any kind of printing is able | to buy gs print- ing. f he uses Most people would } anything else it in- prefer a man’s gen- eral character and | gateonatis to be in $ eeping with his printing—so its dis- astrous not to care about your printing dicates to people who see it that he doesn't care. .

THE PROVINCIAL WEALTH Next Product Will Year Hazelton's Mineral | Be Added. | W. Fleet Robinson, provincial | mineralogist, in his preliminary| estimate for last year, concludes: rhe aggregate value of the mineral production of British Co- jlumbia for all years to the end of 19114 is approximately $397,- 000,000. The greater progress of recent years may be the better recognized if some comparisons be made. The aggregate value of production for fifty years, 1852- 1901, was $172,242,000; for ten years, 1902-1911, it was about $224,800,000. These figures show that nearly 57 per cent. of the See production of sixty) years was made during the ten| years last past, leaving but a little more than 43 per cent. for the fifty years that went before. “It is, therefore, plainly evi- dent that in the last decade there has been progress of a marked character. Bringing comparison nearer to the present time, it may be shown, further, that the pro- portion of the last five years, 1907,1911, was $123,000,000, as against $101,000,000 for the five- ae eae 1902-1906. is a striking fact that of the auc of the mineral produc- tion for the whole period of sixty years for which figures are on official record, just about 31 per cent., or nearly one-third, is the production of the last five years. This, surely, is convincing evi- celerating progress of the min- ing industry of British Colum- bia.” BIG SNOW PLOUGH Biggest Piece of Railway Machin- ery Ever Constructed. the pass snow plough, built, will A monster largest ever through Vancouver shortly way to Alaska.
