The halibut catch this year was more than 13.000,000 pounds, and almost 2,000,000 cases of salmon were packed. The fcrtst wealth of Prince Kimert has yet to be developed on a large scale. A committee of the provincial government, on estimating the timber stand for possible post-war re- , habituation projects, stated there were more than 21'i bil-licn board feet of lumber. 24 million ties and 25'. million lineal feet of cedar poles and piling alons the watersheds. This is a 1,700,000-acre survey of a district which embraces more than 34,000,000 acres. With the wartime demand for timber, 127 million board feet of lumber and more than a million ieet of pilings were logged In the district during the first nine months of this years. And with the post-war demand for building materials for new business enterprises and to alleviate. Canada's critical housing shortage it is expected that this industry will be expanded to a large scale. The potential- mineral wealth of the district has never been evaluated, but one recent edition of an Interior weekly featured three separate stories of new "strikes" on the front page. Several mines are operatln,-ln the interior with gold, silver and lead 'being in the fore of production. Seven out of every ten minerals known to man can be found in producing quantities in this area.

Clay deposits of an unlimited quantity which have produced sample tile brick of the highest quality can .be found near Terrace, about 90 miles east of Prince Rupert. According to the University of Saskatchewan "this particular type of clay is comparatively rare throughout the world.

Rig drain Plant Active A million-and-a-quarter-bush-el elevator, designed for storing grain for export, "is so situated along the docks that grain can be loaded directly into oceangoing ships. Since V-J Day 950.-000 bushels of wheat have been loaded aboard vessels bound for Russia and Britain. In view of Prince Rupert's proximity to Vladivostock, it would not be surprising to find regular runs between Prince Rupert and Siberia a reality. With Increased trade between Canada and the Orient, and the excellent shipping facilities located at the port of Prince Rupert, it is to be expected that more use will be made of the route straight through the Canadian northwest on a Great Circle to the Far East. The dream of Charles Melville Hays may yet come to pass. Far from being a mere outpost on the far fiunj Northwest Canadian frontier, Prince Rupert is also finding itself simultaneously the "Gateway to Alaska" and the "Gateway to the Interior." I'rince Rupert is now the hub of the northwest treasurehold of the American continent. More than a year a"go the Skeena Highway from Hazelton was pushed through to Prihce Rupert. Now the town is connected with the interior not only by the Canadian National Railways, hut alio by a motor route. This roadway, many believe, may nam becoman important trail to Alaska arid the Yukon. Motorists may drive to Prince Rupert, board a steamer for Haines. Alaska, where they can drive over the Haines road to the Alaska Highway; Valdez. where they can meet the Richardson Highway; or Anchorage. SAVOY HOTEL Carl Zarelli, Prop. Phone 37 P.O.

The port is ice-free the year around. That is something hard ly anybody from the rest of the country will believe.

Completely ;and-locked, the harbor is large enough to ac commodate the whole British fleet at one time, and free of big waves and storms. It can handle the largest of ocean-going vessels at either high or low tide. The port facilities equal the world's best. This is attested by an article appearing in the Vancouver Sun showing that nearly a million more tons of supplies were shipped through Prince Rupert than Vancouver during the war! Aggresslvery, the business men of Prince Rupert look to the future, to new induswy and new markets, and to the growth of their city, which, during war-time censorship, "lost" Its place on the map of Canada.
