Other j: fears of the railroad, based on bitter experience, cropped up during the two-day assembly in this beautiful little town. It was noticeable too, V that lfy?CN. had several of its of-t facials on hand and that they toned i down and pooh-pooed most of the S, llints that they were to be feared.

When the truckers balked at paying, the1 U.S. marshal took them into court but found that no Alaska grand jury would indict them. There was, to their way of thinking, no crime. We told the B.C. gentlemen about that fight and how the people won it. Nevertheless they said part of the Skeena Highway is built along the C.N. right-of-way and that if the chips were down and a competing truck line threatened to steal much C.N. business, the road probably would be closed to all travel. Thus the beautiful new highway, opened to pleasure travel for only two summers, might be destroyed. One delegate told us hopefully that he had noticed part of the roadway was over the Skeena River itself and that no railroad could have title to river bed, thus the railroad could not close the highway. We kept insisting that since the C.N. is a corporation licensed by and responsible to the dominion government, it should be forced at once by the Canadian parliament to dispense with the land on which the roadway was built. This perplexing problem is holding back the development of a tourist-catering business in central B.C. Only E. T. Kenney, member of parliament from Terrace and minister of lands and forests, put the railroad in its place. He said simply that its job is to forget the highway and help develop new freight for its trains by assisting new NOT TO BE OUTDONE More sets of twins are born In' Canada than In the United : States per million births, but I more sets of triplets and quad ruplets are born in the VS.
