Closing
feature
of
the
convui-tlon
was
an
address
by
E.
T.
Applewhalte
of
Prince
Rupert
who
advanced
the
proposal
for
a
new
transcontinental
railway
route
from
Churchill
on
Hudson
Bay
through
Winnipeg,
the
prairie
lines,,
the
Peace
River
district
and
Hazelton
to
Prince
Rupert.
Mr.
Applewhalte
pictured
a
new
Imperial
communi
cation
route
from
Liverpool
to
Hong
Kong
which
would
cut
the
distance
via
Montreal
and
Vancouver,
which
Is
11,737
miles,
to
10,061
miles.

Opening

line

posed
by
Mr.
Applewhalte
would
I
Involve
the
construction
of
but
three
links
between
existing
railway
lines
and
would
cost
only
$18,000,000,
he
said.
Its
benefits
would
be
immeasurable,
particularly
to
the
port
of
Prince
Rupert
and
Peace
River
as
a
national
project
for
the
further
development
and
opening
up
of
Canada's
great
northern
natural
resources.

Mr.

declared
It
was
a

to
the
people
of

to.
open
up
their
country
with

The
three
gaps
needed
to
create

were

on

distance
In
gaps
of
525
miles.
Entrenched
Interests
of
Montreal
and
Vancouver,
together
with
the
existing
railway
companies,
opposed
such
a
line
and
shipping
route
because
they
were
afraid
it
would
divert
traf
fic
from
existing
routes.
"But
why
should
their

of

speculated
Hon.
E.
T.
Kenney,
minister
of

when
he
spoke
as
representative
of
Peremier

Hart
and

government
of

at

With

suddIv
of
Douglas
fir
re
maining
In
the
southern
part
of
:
the
province,
the
area
of
central
British
Columbia
now
held
the
major
supply
of
British
Columbia's
timber,
declared
the
minister.
Tn
future
much
of
the
timber
would
find
its
use
In
pulp,
paper
and
such
products.
In
central
British
Columbia
were
three
of
the
best
pulp
sites
one
in
the
lower
Skeena,
one
in
the
Prince
George
area
and
a
third
in
the
vicinity
of
Quesnel.
With
ready
rail
and
water
transportation
the
site
on
the
lower
Skeena
backed
with
Its
fifty
billion
feet
of
pulp
timber
was
undoubtedly
one
of
the
best
on
the
continent.
With
the
depletion
of
Douglas
fir,
no
longer
was
the
hemlock
and
balsam
of
this
area
to
be
despised.
The
next
approach
to
fir
was
hemlock
and
already
there
had
been
instance
of
where
hemlock
lumber
had
sold
for
$250
a
thousand.
"It
will
no
longer
be
necessary
for
us
to
give
concessions
to
I
PP
mllls
to
come
here
and
lo
,
cate,"
asserted
Mr,
Kenney.
"They
will
be
only,
too
glad
to
come
of
their
own
Initiative."
Gone
were
the
days
of
wastage
of
timber
because
there
was
no
use
for
a
large
proportion
of
It.
The
forests
of
central
British
Columbia
would
be
the
salvation
of
the
timber
industry
of
British
Columbia
in
days
to
come,
asserted
Mr.
Kenney,
and
would
be
the
basis
of
industries
providing
employment
for
many
thousands
of
people.

Mr.

of

In
