In snite of the trreat to do that was raised around thg city on Saturday as an outcome of the discussion' in Ottawa in which the Minister of Natural-Resources appeared hesitant about spending a sunt of $500,000 which he estimated would be required to bring a 23- mile link of the Prince Rupert-Hazelton Highway lip td standard of the rest of the through road which is now being up the Skeena River' frorrt Prince Rupert, there is actually no change in the road completion situation. Apparently, however, although we ourselves have mentioned it before, there are many people who did not realize that there was still the weak link of 23 miles between Hazelton and Kit-wanga a provincial government road, really an extension of the old northern transprovincial highway with which the new Skeeria River road joins up which never was properly finished and; as a result of the passage of time and to some extent the ravages of flood waters, is in ptior cdndition now and far below the standard of the roads eastward' and westward which it links. This section was never included as part of the federal government Skeena .River war road program which is now nearing completion. Nevertheless, the point is well taken that it should not be permitted to in any way block the new hichway connection of Prince Rupert, Terrace and the lower Skeena Valley with the outside world. So, while the situation is by no means new and there has been no change in the original project with no intention td stop or delay presently-planned' construction, it will not hurt for the public to fullv realize the road picture as it actually exists. It would seem unreasonable, after the millions that have been spent thus far, that, for a mere $100,000 or at the most $500,000, the Prince Rupert Highway should continue to have a weak section td hamper its complete usefulness. While we will fully appreciate the-connection with the Terrace district, we naturally will not be satisfied until we have a good road all the way through to Hazelton and thence on to the outside world: An immediate local campaign to see that this is assured will be well' justified. Peace River Railway Outlet . . . Years ago when the two major transcontinental 4 railway lines acquired the Northern Alberta Railway line which leads northward from Edmonton to the Peace RiveY district, the undertaking was made that, when that district produced ten million bushels of wheat annually, a railway outlet to the Pacific coast would be provided. That minimum of wheat tonnage has been long sirice exceeded but the question of the Pacific Coast railway outlet, apparently, ruinains a uead issue as it nas tins long time now Because we have been disannnintod sn lnnrr nhnnr the Peace River railway outlet is no reason why we snuuiu give up me iignt wnicii even here m Prince Rupert we carried on with such vigor for many years. The member for Peacd River, Mr. Sissons, has now suggested that, if the major railway lines do not implement the outlet pledge, the Northern Alberta railway line should be taken away from them. It may be a good deal easier for Mr. Sissons to talk that way than it is to actually do it. Nevertheless, his remarks bring the Peace River-Pacific Coast railway outlet matter to the fore again and it might not be a bad idea to get the campaign with that end in view actively going again. We may not be able to anticipate tiro construction of a new railway outlet like this as long' as the war continues but it is a project which we might well expect to go on the priority list of postwar reconstruction projects, particularly since it will be a. large factor in the development of a rich hinterland which many d her nations would1 be happy to have and which they would probably use it to better advantage than we do if they did possess it. Pnnce. Rupert is much interested in this project ana it is well that we should commence making our case. i Sport Bill 1 This Week SOPTHAI.L The undefeated Hospital Al uatnae team is slated to meet' tUe CWAC. girls in a Ar Women's Softball League gam tonisht at Gyro Park.
