Confidence,
Real

High
In
Town's
Early
Days
Although
he
has
not
been
1,
Prince
Rupert
since
1922,
Mr.
Justice
A.
D.
McFarlane
of
Vic
toria,
who
Is
presiding
over
the
fall
session
of
Assize
court
here,
Is
not
a
stranger
In
the
city.
He
first
came
here
in
1909
as
a
law
student
wth
L.
W.
Patmore,
po
neer
Prince
Rupert
la-yer.
"This
was
a
town
of
great
hopes
In
those
days,"
he
told
the
Dally
News
in
a
brief
interview.
And

prices
weri
about
as
high
as

1911,
practising
law
for
two
years.
He
remembers
many
of
the
early
residents.
Asked
his
opinion
as
to
the
future
of
Prince
Rupert,
Mr.
McFarlane
declined
to
go
out
on
a
limb.
"It
would
be
easy
to
predict
a
glowing
future
for
the
city
but,
in
my
opinion,
the
development
of
all
cities
depends
on
outside
forces
over
which
local
people
have
little
control,"
he
comment
ed.
"Prince
Rupert
would
certainly
be
greater
today
If
It
hau
been
allowed
to
become
the
Pacific
terminus
of
the
Canadian
National
Railways.
"I
think
the
future
of
the
city
depends
largely
on
world
Inter
est
In
the
North
Pacific
area
af
ter
the
war."
He
recalled
that
In
the
early
days,
local
pioneers
had
hoped
to
get
a
highway
put
through
to

within
