Another Election . . . The provincial general election date has been set for October 25. Soon we will be in the throes of another political campaign, the second for us in recent months. As we have said so often in the past as an election campaign opens, it is to be hoped that nothing will be said or done1 to engender ill-feeling or to damage our esprit de corps and mutual co-operation as the people of School Days , Also 10c, 15c, 25c scribblers, plain or. ruled paper . .

There has been an inclination in that movement to sink politcial interest and feeling. . Even if an election is coming and we may have a contest along theoretical political lines, there would appear to be no real reason why, exercising the democratic privileges of expressing our views and casting our ballots, we should become bad personal friends about it. The recent federal election in Prince Rupert was an exampleovhere friendly disagreements had no serious after-effects. We are quite confident that the coming provincial contest will be along equallv exemplary lines. The Daily Nevs will do its best to assist in making it such.

THE MEN'S SHOP - 1) There is a concerted sense of awareness that the attention which less deserving sections of the country have always taken for granted, but which this territory has been stubbornly denied, is about to achieve DroDer direction. The simple statement, "It's going to come. It's got to come!" spoken, persistently and univen sally in the extended region "is the expression of a certainty that, In its search for new frontiers, the world will "find" central British Columbia. Undoubtedly one of the outstanding factors In cementing this belief throughout the 500-mile ribbon of DODulatlon -has been the completion of trans- prqvincial highway to Prince Rupert. Proof of this is established by the bitter reaction which was aroused by recently current rumors of neglect and abandonment of the road. Built For War, To Serve in Peace "It was built for war, but it's certainly going to serve us in peacetime," said a Hazelton garageman after unburdening himself of a rich store of disgust which the rumors had aroused in him. "The only time that the people of this country will allow someone to stop them having a gravel road through LAND REnifiTRY ACT I Re: C e r t i f i c a te of Title No. 44 02-i, 10 L.oi lei, yueen Charlotte District, said to contain 23 acres, more or less, except a strip of land one chain in width measured from high water mark and also except Part lying South of a line being the production West of the North boundary of Block "A" of District Lot 160 to high water mark of said Lot 161.

Solicitude of the provincial government in taking over the series of small, ptivately-owned power plants serving the towns is generally commenced by most of the people, who visualize unfailing electricity carried by cross-country power, lines in place of limping village deisel and gasoline plants now in use. Living by those rivers they dally see thousands of potential horsepower of hydroelectric energy flowing past their doors and it builds up dreams of bastion-like powerhouses backed by artificial lakes which will fill the can- yon-like river beds. Here, they promise, will he the energy which will refine the tremendous natural mineral and forest wealth awaiting development A visit last month by two members of the B.C. Power Commission and assurances that those small plants will be taken over by the government as the first step in an electrification program undoubtedly had a popular reaction. Philosophers of the interior, and there are many, all establish their theories for territorial development on the fundamental promlsei that what the country needs Is more people, start ing at that point they gallop oir in every direction. Some say that DopulaUon will not come to central B.C. until I there are more inducements In the way of modern llvine stan dards and better prepared econo mic opportunities. They claim that the flow of population to the comforts and uncertainties of city life proves the point. They urge the immediate ex penditure of money in sums large enough to bring this about. At the opposite extreme of thought are a few hardy individualists who maintain that a rich and rugged country should oe a cnaiienge and that progress will be a result of men's efforts and not the forerunner of It. That, they claim, his usually been the case in other places. "Opening the country up," they assert, is a matter of faith and labor largely on the part of those who had the (Under New Management) GUNN'S BICYCLE SHOP SERVICING, SALES AND RENTING GADGET REPAIRS, ETC. 214 Sixth Street (Next to Jones' Newstand) Work to please everyone No work too large or too small H.

Peace River Rait Connection From Vanderhoof west there Is a marked unanimity concerning the desirability of getting a rail connection between the Peace River block and Prince Rupert, its natural seaport. Opinion in this regard is solidly j formed and there Is a contlnu- ally expressed fear that the ' C.P.R. may take over the Pacific Great Eastern Railway. "If the C.P.R. takes over the P.O.E., you can be sure that everything from the Peace River country will drain south to Vancouver when the line is put through," a Burns Lake resident declared gloomily. "The Peace River rail outlet should Join the C.N.R, line west of Prince George." i The Hazeltons, which like Caesar's Gaul are divided into three parts, find spiritual union in the belief that a highway should be built north from there to the Yukon. Dissatisfaction Is expressed over the fact that apparently so far no considera tion has been a survey of the Hazelton route on an equal basis with other routes. But while people from Prince Rupert to Prince George pon der the remoter problems in search of their varied solutions, everyone realizes that one of their pre-war problems that of automotive access to the coast has been solved by Jhe con struction of the Prince Rupert Highway which had its official i opening just a year ago.
