Much as we appreciate and value our own show, such an enterprise as the Port Edward cellulose pulp mill project a mere $25,000,000 would be overshadowed. As the industrial world looks to the Pacific Coast and the vast undeveloped resources here, money talk is beginning to assume tremendous terms. If this soil of thing goes on, British Columbia may ere long not be the third industrial province of Canada but may outstrip Ontario and Quebec. Aad why should it not'.' Certainly not lx-cau.se either Ontario or Quebec surpass us in potential of natural resources. Particularly interesting to Prince Rupert,, of course, is the fact that one of the sites to be investigated for the great aluminum power develonment should he at Gardner Canal, a mere hundred miles down the coast while another is in D?m Channel a hundred or so miles further south. Of course, it may not come to either of these places, Bute Inlet, some 200 miles north of Vancouver, having been the originally mentioned site. Prince Rupert and northern British Columbia is bound to share in a great way in the impending industrial development of British Columbia.

Wrote Milton "By Him were all things created: ... w hether they be thrones, dominions, or principalities or powers." Another authority, defining the word says "Independent right of possession, use and control, sovereignty, supremacy." ! postage.
