Since the project as rejMirted will produce five times as '. much power as that now underway at Kemano, negotiations leading to it must have consumed considerahle time. It is even possible that Alcoa w as ; U'aten from the start. Whatever the circumstances, the principle of Mr. Winters' decision was sound. Water which can be converted into power is liquid gold. We should no more think of letting it go for easy cash than " we would consider disposing of our mineral fields and timber stands. Another point to be considered in this particu-.

Although it established the abundance of its gold reserves years ago, Yellowknife is still uncon-- nected to the rest of Canada by road or rail. The ,' same applies to the great uranium developments of northern Canada and to other remote areas where the main industry is digging wealth from the ground. Processing and manufacturing are, however, ; another matter, primarily because they involve a two-way traffic and because they promote establishment of secondary industries. It was inevitable, for example, that a rail line would be built into , Kitimat. No doubt this will be followed sooner or later by a highway and the site will have the 50,000 population predicted for it. The same destiny awaits northern B.C. and the .southwest corner of the Yukon if the anticipated ', hydro-electric project becomes reality. While the 'area is already served to a limited degree by a rail- way from Skagway, more extensive transportation - facilities are almost certain to materialize. At this ! moment Pacific coast members of the U.S. Congress are endeavoring to win support for construction of 1 a westerly highway or railway into Alaska. If the rt'jxirted hydro-electric plans develop for the Canadian north, this country will assuredly be willing to co-operate to the fuellest. To this district it is all very good .news indeed. Those governing our affairs and building our railways may never dfscard their belief that Vancouver is the logical shipping outlet for the Peace River country, but if they attempt to apply the same theory to far northern B.C. and the Yukon, we might as well suggest they forget the whole thing.
