this

declined
to

on

it

that

one

admitted
himself
at
a
loss
to
predict
when
thc
next
shipments
will
arrive
in
thc
city.
Ordinarily,
Prince
Rupert
consumes
about
three
carloads
of
meat
a

"The

he
said.
"It

However,
butter,
poultry
and
eggs
have
not
yet
been
affected
and
are
In
ordinary
supply,
he
said.
This
particular
wholesaler
said
that
he
had
enquired
at
thc
Van-

of

of
hU
eomnanv
to

vas
assured
that
any
meat
that
could
be
spared
at
the
southern

would
be
sent
to
Prince

Much
of
Vancouver's
beef
comes
from
southern

and
Frascr

farms
and

thc
rest
being

from

However,
It
is
not
anticipated
that
Vancouver
will
be
able
to
fill

Here
Mr.

is
particularly
Interested
at

in
the
campaign
for
a

western

which
would
run
from
Winnipeg
and
Churchill
by

of
the
northern
prairies
and
through
the
Peace
River
to
Prince

Such
a

Mr.

out
declares.
Speaking
to
the

this
morning,
Mr.
Rideout
de
plored
the
apathy
towards
ques
tions
of
national
development
of
the
west
In
such
places
as
Prince
Rupert,
Peace
River,
Prince
Albert,
etc.
The
people
seemed
to
have
no
vision
and
no
enthusiasm.
"A
new
leader
is
needed
to
arouse
enthusiasm
for
the
development
of
this
part
of
the
country.
If
we
do
not
have
that
enthusiasm,
the
whole
fight
is
useless,"

declared.
He
referred
to
the
spirit
of
vision

which
he
had
found
among
