It should result in giving them rf now life, spirit and enthusiasm. jNover in the history of the Associated Boards were so many resolutions and so widespread a variety fof matters dealt with. ' Never before was there such a Jarge and representative attendance, highlighted for the first time by the presence1 of a substantial Alaskan jdqlega'tion, significant of the closer (relationship that naturally should resist tiUween southeastern Alaska .arid central British Columbia with jiti transprovincial and ultimately transcontinental highway to say jTTOthing of its transcontinental railway. The lfijie convention at Terrace (was a turning point in bringing jabout a new kind of concerted effort and .united representation on the presentation and consideration of sproblems, the solving of which will (lerid to a real development and prosperity of central British Columbia ; which must certainly play a new and Jlargeirole in the inevitable progress- of this country in the north Pacific i rim. , ALASKA'S "CALIFORNIA" THE' southeastern Alaska delegates came; $av and were sold on central British. Columbia. "Why go to. Oregon .and California. when there isii, country just as fine as either so close at hand!?'1 enthusiastically commented onej)f thejeeply impressed Terrace convention visitors who said he was resolved to come back to that sunny and blessed area and buy himself a piece of land for a summer home. And he was not the only one yho was as greatly intrigued by the fine country within one hundred miles of Prince Rupert and not much further from Alaska. The Alaska people could hardly believe that there could be such an attractive and delightful spot so convenient to the territory. Now they have gone back to tell their neighbors and friends and it cannot help but result in the building up of further pleasant associations for the mutual benefit of all concerned. v. FIGHTING MINISTER HON. E. T. KENNEY, minister of lands and forests, was in great form as he talked to such an imposing audience a"s he did in his home town of Terrace. It was an interesting and constructive picture that he painted of a British Columbia timber industry which he predicted would be centred before long in the central part of the province rather than in the southwestern portion where heretofore it has been concentrated. Mr. Kenney was in rare form when, in the presence of company officials upon whom it must have registered, he said without any mincing of words that the Canadian National was not on the job in the way it should be in the development of central British Columbia in which it had such a big stake. Those who might have been lulled into a state of somewhat 'frustrated acceptance that a situation has arisen in regard to the railroad whereby it was too bad but nothing could be done about it will have been impressed by the fighting Skeena minister's statement that what was wanted here was "practical" rather than "sympathetic" support. A GOOD ROAD THE MANY PEOPLE who travel- led over the Prince Rupert Highway to the Terrace convention are able to satisfy themselves that the highway has been grossly libelled by the odd motorist who may have com- piamea at its condition. It is difficult to understand how some of the unfavorable reports which have been heard at times could possibly have been made by any who actually .travelled over the road. It would be interesting to hear what those who may complain about the condition of the road between here and Terrace miit have to say about some of the roads in other parts of the province or even about the streets of Prince Rupert. only about a dozen 3raye sites itft. It urged council to make more .space available. 'The Legion is a big organization, and many of its members ore dropping off," Alderman Rudderham commented. "It is very urgent for the veterans and for the general public that new ground be made available." "Apart from the ground that Is now being used.dhe rest is practically a Jungle," Alderman Rud-tlerham continued. "In order to develop a new area we will have tb test the sub-soil. That means the brush will have to be cleared Buying off. It should be done as scon af possible."
