Canadian Dally Newspaper Association O. A. HUNTER, Managing Editor. H. G. PERRY. Managing Director Important Convention; THE coming session at Prince George, British Columbia, of the Aesociated Boards of Trade of Central B.C. and th- Affiliated Alaskan Chambers of Commerce should be a most interesting and important one, says the Ketchikan Chronicle. This international organization, the only one on the small-town level operating across the U.S.-Canadian border, has a great deal of good work to its credit, Jbut ibe" prospect of another war effort now brings the people of the two nations much closer together. In that connection, the convention should adopt a strong resolution against the demolition of the big warehouse at Prince Rupert, built by the U.S. army in the last war. It is being torn down, although its possible value in another conflict is considerable, and the Rupert chamber has been fighting a losing battle with the Ottawa bureaucracy to keep it intact. . Road, railroad and airways expansion in the north and west will be subjects for great discussion, for frontiersmen always dream doubly fast when they get their heads together and exchange visions. The delegates probably will be taken for a trip over the new Hart highway a short cut from Prince George to Dawson Creek which is nearing completion. It will cut off about 750 miles for westerners wishing to drive over the Alaska highway. And its completion will speed up the demand for a ferry for autos between Haines and Prince Rupert because the people who drive to Whitehorse and Fairbanks one route will want to return south via South-; eastern Alaska. . Alaskan capital' already is seeking new trans-- portation ties with Canada. Ellis Air lines has ; asked the CAB to certif icate it for service to Rupert ; at least once a week and the Chilkoot motor ferries J seek to begin serving Rupert by September 1 to haul cars and freight to and from Alaska's Panhandle. Appointment of an Alaskan to the international j fisheries commission as asked at the convention a year ago probably will be another request. It is ; certain to he honored when Alaska becomes a state. ; , Ketchikan should prepare to entertain the convention in a year or two, which" will be its turn. We shall have to do a first class job to be as friendly and hospitable as have been the hosts at the recent , conventions in Terrace, Rupert and Smithers. For the sake of keeping abreast of developments ; on both sides of the border, we hope Juneau, Peters-' burg and Ketchikan all can send delegates to Prince George August 23, 24 and 25. , Before that there were five colonial governors, 'responsible directly to the British Government in ELECTRIHH Contact the abote k Services and Siip. 0- ' See the new Uirw br..
