tb

so
the

will,
instead,
be

from
Vancouver
by

Such
was
the
statement
made
yesterday
afternoon
to
the
Dally
News
by
II.
P.
Robins,
manager
of
the
Port
Edward
plant,
who
paid
that
it
was
with
reluctance
that
the
company
would
be
forced
to
this
action.
Its
policy,
he
.said,
had
been
to
make
its
purchases
of
foodstuffs,
hardware
and
boar
supplies
whenever
possible
in
Prince
Rupert.
Between
navroll
and
suonlles.
the
Port
Edward
plant's
purchasing
power
amounted
to
about
$500,-000
annually,
he
estimated.
'by
far
the
greater
proportion
of
which
now
stood
to
be
lost
to
Prince
Rupert,
simply
because
it.
,
was
becoming
impossible
to
use
the
road.
Since
the
Americans
left
Port
Edward,
Mr.
Robins
said,
no
attention
had
been
paid
to
the
road
In
spile
of
the
fact
that
there
was
plenty
of
crushed
rock
available.
It
was
the
stretcn
from
Prince
Rupert
to
Galloway
Rapids
of
which
he
complained,
rather
than
the
three
miles
from
Galloway
Rapids
to
Port
Edward
which
was
still
not
in
bad
shape.
There
were
holes
almcst
a
foot
deep
and,
with
the
present,
snow,
these
could
not
be
seen.
."I
Just
wish
vou
would
take
a
trip
over
the
road,"
he
told
a
Daily
News
representative.
The
Port
Edward
plant
itself
has
been
having
three
to
five
truckload.s
of
supplies
taken
out
from
Prince
Rupert
dally.
In
ad-dltlon
the
employees,
95
per
cent
of
whom
are
Indians,
have
been
spending
a
large
part
of
their
earnings
in
the
city.
Further,
people1
from
the
Skcena
River
slough
and
as

Esslngton
have
been
coming
into
Port
Edward
in
their

and
continuing
from
there
into
Prince
Rupert
over

road.
The

hospital
of

Department
is
entirely

upon

Mr

that

among

Mr.

said.
"To

the

while
It

wet
would
destroy
the
surface
completely.
"Since
we
are
unable
to

Mr.
Brady
continued,
"we

have-to

Repairing

in

Effort

he
hesitates
to

of
the

to

"I
don't

If

Mr.

to
