The party learned that the great four-storey warehouse which was built here for the storage in transit of vast quantities of war supplies enroute to the Pacific theatre or conflict with Its 370,000 square feet of storage space was the largest structure of Its kind ever erected by the United States Army In any part of trie world. Further than 'being the most capacious, this Installation has been adjudged by all experts who have seen it as a model of efficiency which has no superior in the world In the way of adaptlbility of freight handling; Connected with the ocean dock by means of a wide and sturdy overpass it makes possible the handling of cargo on a huge scale completely under cover in transfer from rail to ship or vice versa.

It too is ons of the major Installation -,-nIch is b?-ln handed foack to Canada by the United States and will be one of the most valuable port facilities in peacetime commerce. Under the towering 75-ton crane the visitors stood and marvelled at its stature and lifting ability. Other installations to be seen were the power plant at Morse Creek with its five 125-kilo-watt Fairbanks-Morse diesrl engines a plant capable of supplying all the domestic but not the industrial needs of (he entire cily of Prince Rupert, Interest was also taken in the 37,000 cubic foot cold storage plant which even now contains 100,000 tons of fresh meat to meet the requirements of "G.I.'s" still remaining in the area. These are only a few of the principal Items of property which are now in process of being turned over by the United States government to Canada and are now being received by War Assets Corporation with I. M. McKinnon, the regional supply officer, already installed in his office at the big warehouse and taking over. The party making the tour of inspection consisted of Mayor H. M, Daggett, City Engineer E. A. Phillips. City Clerk H. D. Thain and Bruce Stevens and G. A. Hunter representing the press.

"He was thinking of going back east, and already had his equipment crated. I, myself, happened to have work for that man and now he has contracts which will provide " Jobs for four men." Similar opportunities exist in j many other typesr of business if j they could be tracked down and, presented to ambitious young men with a little capital, Mr.' Hutchison believes. Groups of ikkkkwkhkkkhki chkhhkhhi TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO October 30, 1920 Booth Fisheries, Pacific Flsh erles and Atlin Fisheries received notice to vacate the water-frontage occupied by them ntyir an extension being constructed to the Grand Trunk Wharf. The removal became necessary on account of building operations on the Grand Trunk property, and negotiations were under way for the fisheries companies to move to a section of the government wharf. The tug Etta White was burned to the water's edge and sank south of Butedale. The fire started in the engine room while the little tug was towing a boon of logs southward to Ocean Falls. Highest price ever paid for halibut up to that time on the local fish market was paid at the fish exchange by Booth Fisheries which bought a carload of first class fish for 20.3 cents and 10.1 cents a pound for shipment east.

"In my conversations on thei matter I have run Into a trend' of thought which expressed anj unabashed hope that this city may soon revert to Its quiet, pre- j war condition," Mr. Hutchison j declared. "My opinion on that is that Prince Rupert should ferret out every opportunity that exists and capitalize on it so the city will go ahead." "Small businesses are a substantial force in the growth of a community. The more of them Prince Rupert can develop, the better off we will be," he said.
