"''It is ju.-t possible that these two developments v. ill be the most important ones of this region in the second half of the 20th century." These comments by the Ketchikan Alaska Chronicle provide still further measure of the importance being attached to what is going on north of u.s. Not so long ago the arrival here of Columbia Cellulose and the news 'of big plans for Kitimat were being discussed as the miraculous development of the B.C. wilderness. This coastal region emerged into prominence on what, in the public eye, was the lust frontier. " .lust as suddenly all that is changing. While we are by no means regarded yet as the hub of the provincial economy, it is becoming more and more apiKirent that the Skeena does not mark the northern iKiundary of B.C. It is, in fact, only halfway there. This realignment of geography can do us no harm. For years Nanaimo occupied roughly the same position on Vancouver Island that Prince Rupert does on the mainland. It staggered along in the doldrums because it was the end of the line. Then all at once communities further up the coast Logan to come to life, the island highway improved and pushed north, and Nanaimo began to grow like an adolescent youth until now there are those who predict it will outpace Victoria. It is not in the least inconceivable that Prince Rupert will have a similar experience. If the Frobisher proposals for the Atlirv area become reality, B.C. is certain to have a large new city, or cities, in the north. In. such circumstances, coastal shipping lines would find it practical to have headquarters at Prince Rupert, from which point they could readily serve both northern and southern ports. As far as transportation by land is concerned, a highway through B.C. to Alaska has long been the vision of leaders in the U.S. west coast states. If northern B.C. takes on its prospective massive development, Canadian leaders may find they have this,, vision, too. Construction of such a highway would be still another step in bringing the geography of the province into proper perspective. It seems probable that eventually the whole picture will fall into shape. It will then be understood that Prince Rupert and district are not on the last, frontier but in an. enviable jwsjtion, right the ' ' ' ' 5 ' on 50-vard line. , IV darn, as vou know.
