What
Rail
way
Means
WEEK
without
it
makes
us
a
little
more
appreciative
A
of
what
regular
railway
service,
curtailed
as
it
may
be,
means
to
us.
We
have
now
missed
only
two
trains
in
and
two
trains
out
as
a
result
of
the
almost
unprecedented
snow
and
"storm
conditions
in
the
Skeena
Valley
between
Prince
Rupert
and
Terrace
but
there
is
already
much
moaning
and
trepidation
about
what
is
going
to
happen,
to
us
if
the
trains
do
not
start
running
again
soon.
And
it
might
cause
quite
serious
inconvenience
too
if
we
did
not
get
our
trains
back
soon.
So,
after
all,
even
if
we
may
complain
once
in
a
while
about
what
the
railway
company
is
not
doing
we
have
to
realize
that,
in
their
every-day
service,
it
is
very
important
to
us.
Superintendent
Al
Berner
and
his
crews
have
a
big
job
on
hand
in
clearing
the
line
and
it
is
exercising
alftheir
skill,
ingenuity,
patience
and
energy.
They
are
working
under
real
difficulties
to
get

cl2ai;d
as

as

The

this
all
disappeared
in

of

"The
threat
to

vanished
in
the
face
of
a
new
co-operation
between

declared
Mr.
Baker.
Something
like
that,
he
said,
might
be
tried
in
Prince
Rupert.
Mr.
Baker
commended
the
Canadian
idea.
of
encouraging
immigration
to
a
great
and
un-exptoited
land
which
could
well
do
with
new
population
to
assist
in
its
development.
"Alaska,
h?
felt,
might
do
worse
than
think
along
similar
lines.
Nevertheless,
he
could
see
a
strange
paradox
in
Canada,
on
the
one
hand,
talking
about
encouraging
Immigration
and,
on
the
ether,
befg
concerned
about
the
ermgraUon
of

BuBding'up

the
increasing
of

the
answer
to
this
problem.

spok
emphatically

would

Mr.

The
