Brown in Vancouver Sun in commenting on the provincial government's program for concentrated work on the northern tfansprovincial highway. A highway is to be constructed from Terrace south to the new smelter t.?n of Kitimat" Tjais in addition to the CN rail--vay branch to tie authorized at the present session of Parliament. Lake Lakelse, a magnificent fishing ' resort lies between. The railway. will go east of the lake and around Iron Mountain, a local landmark. Already there is a highway of sorts from Terrace t Lakelse and, skirting the western side of - th3 lake, only 83 miles of new road will have to be built to Kitimat. The Aluminum Co. is planning a big summer recreation resort for its people at Lakelse, which should be to the people of Kitimat what Shawnigan is to Victorians. A rough guess suggests $20 million will be spent in the next couple of years making a first-class gravelled road of the Central B.C. East and West Highway and after that there will be an extra job of hard-surfacing. Some of the road will have to be relocated, probably including the section where it parallels the CN on the right-of-way. Meantime, the big highway event of this year in the Central-Northern area is the opening of the .Jphn Hart road from Prince George 300 miles to the northeast into the Peace River country. The bottleneck there is the crossing of the Parsnip itlver. Tenders are to be called, so that work may Ixegin when the weather permits. A pile bridge may be installed for use until the steel trusses are ready for use and then there would be no impediment to travel right through. The opening looks like coming in early midsummer. This is another gravelled ' ' road hard-surfacing to be left tb the future. - We are on our way to a great highway link that will split the province in half, from the Pacific coast to the eastern boundary.

The government surveys indicated that every bay and inlet along the littoral was blocked by reef or rocks. So certain was the president of the Grand Trunk Pacific that there mist be at least one good harbor other than Vancouver that he ordered a fresh survey made by his own engineers. This new survey revealed the fact that the government engineers who had prepared the admiralty charts had made a slight mistake. Their charts showed that Tucks Inlet, at the mouth of the Skeena, was impracticable as a harbor because its entrance was blocked by submerged rocks today. Electricity is everywhere.

The development of Canada's Pacific seaboard had been arrested for a quarter of a century by that bit of carelessness. Now that the Grand ' Trunk Pacific had a deep and spacious harbor, all that remained was to build a town. Experts who have studied the plans upon which ri ince Rupert is built assert that in time it will be one of the most beautiful cities on the continent. To begin with, it has certain geographic advantages which cannot be overlooked. Most important of these is the fact that it is 500 miles nearer the Orient than any other port on the Pacific seaboard of the continent. For that matter, the route from London to Yokohama via Prince Rupert is 800 miles shorter than via New York and San Francisco. What is even more important, however, Prince Rupert is the gateway to one of the richest regions in the world the only gateway. The terminus of the sole railway which taps the vast reservoirs of grain, fruit and timber in upper Alberta and British Columbia, at the mouth of a river which penetrates far into the interior, surrounded by halibut fisheries and salmon canneries, and with the only deep water harbor between the Fraser and Alaska, it seems as certain as anything can be in a world of uncertainties that eventually Prince Rupert will rival Vancouver in commercial importance.
