Economy of transpor tation by water and the absence of any paralleling land shipment routes has strengthened the basic solidity of the line in such a way that development has followed the steamship routes but, because of dependence on them, has developed certain characteristics peculiar to the slowness of water-borne traffic. In broad outline, Vancouver is the centre of distribution and industry for the entire route to be traversed. Ideally, therefore, Vancouver should.be able to service its markets 'with the greatest rapidity and economy posr siblc. A very large amount of the usual business intercourse prevailing normally between urban and rural areas; exists; Prince Rupert and the Queen Charlotte Islands purchase practically all their supplies In. Vancouver. Thus a complete community of interest exists between . points along the line. The level - of business activity in the industries directly related within Vancouver Is dependent upon the level of the world' regions which border our proposed route. On the other hand, the rural areas depend almost exclusively upon Vancouver firms for a continuance of their op erations. This 'Intcr-dcpendcnc between all the commercial activities throughout the areas concerned has established an almost unbreakable Identity of commercial interests.. However, it should be understood Jliat the industries of the rural iregions along the route the Prince Rupert and Queen Charlotte Island areas mainly nrndur-fi nroducts which arc shipped elsewhere than Van rnnver.

Tax Relief ForMining Declared .Essential at Annual Chamber Meeting in VancouverProblems Discussed VANCOUVcR P) A. E.- Jukes, president of the British Columbia and Yukon Chamber of Mines, yesterday urged the Do-mlniongoverntnent to expend tax relief as a means to aid the mining industry. "I consider," said Mr. Jukes, "there Is only one way In which Canada's gold mines can be re vived. That is for the Dominion government to greatly extend Its tax relief to this branch of the Industry." Mr. Jukes said that only a limited amount of speculative capital was available for explor ation and development of' new mines in Canada. "At the present time," he said, "it would appear that, the tax authorities are only interested in collecting their share of what profits are made from existing mines now being .depleted at a rapid rate." Hon. R. C. Macdonald, provincial minister of mines, also told the thirty-fourth meeting of the organization that tax' re-lief was needed. He said: "It is up to us to see that the mining industry Is given every chance to grow. Government, management and labor must walk: together and there must be give and take and no grasping for selfish reasons by any one part of the industry. We cannot have such things as arbitrary wage scales and working conditions laid down either by management or men in this province. Thero must be llexibility If wc would achieve a maximum amount- of employment and the greatest benefit to all from our mining' Industry."
