McRae, leader of the Provincial Party, has issued a challenge to the Attorney-Gen- eral to permit a thorough business audit of the Department of Indus- tries to be made by outside audit- ors, and the General will pay the total cost as soon as he is given a copy of the auditors’ report. A good deal of valuable busi- ness and publicitv is being Jost to the district, due more to the thoughtlessness of the people than to any other cause. All summer thousands of tourists have been passing through the country. with nostop being made at this, the most beautiful part of British Columbia. The rail- way company is looking for a stop-over point between Jasper and Rupert. That business can be had here if the people want it. It may possibly be thrust upon them, but it would help a good deal if an attempt was made to pet that business. be had this year, but now is the time to go after it for next year and the following years. In every little nook and corner of British Columbia, in fact in all of Canada, sincere sympathy is felt for the widow of the late President Harding and for the whole American nation. A Prize-winning Forestry Essay By MARGARET L. PALMER Age 17, of Prince Rupert. High School. As a Man’s career and success in life depends entirely upon hits God-given abilities and his own capability to enact and bring these powers to light—so does the life of a nation rely wholly upon her natural resources and the spirit and ability of her sons fo develop these resources, If Canada is to be a great na- tion, or rather the right hand of a great nation, she must turn to source of her revenue—her for- ests. She must call her sons to try. - British Golumbia is undouht- ada and her forests revenue, For this reason it absolutely necessary that on the right hand. of a‘ nation. It can hardly |‘ the development of the greatest give the support and protection so essential to her timber indus- edly ithe forest province of Can- constitute one of the greatest sources of her is these forests be given every protection, But, if merely by the carelessness and absentmindedness of her cit- izens, these forests are to be de- stroyed—then British Columbia will soon become a mere finger As the total annual cut of Lim- ber in the province ‘of British Columbia’ is at least two billion hoard: feot yielding a revenue: of about three million dollars year- _J'ly,:;we may easily realize the grea | protection that is -necessary to our forests. Human Caretessness During the year of 1922, an es- timate of 2,591 forest fires raged throughout our province, consuming at least $1,500,000 worth of valuable forest timber. At least ninety per cent of these tires were directly traceable ta Luman agencies and carelessness and therefore were preventable. These losses of forest timber and the huge expenditures re- aquired to combat and contro! the fires naturally produced an enor- mous drain on the strength and resources of the provinee. Tf this drain is allowed to continue, through the carelessness of our people, ultimately the preduce of our forests will within a short time become extinct and our fair British Columbia will become a decadent province. Our forest output is steadily increasing and, if fire protection methods are followed, it will he doubled within the next ter. years, Throughout British Gol- untbia, a great many means of fire protection methods have been adopted and many citizens are devoting their time to this cause. In different parts of the pravince, forest rangers and their assistan(s are located in or- der to patre] and give necessary proteclion against fire. Save Bread and Butter Many hundreds of public spirit. volunteer fire wardens and do their duty towards saving the bread and butter of their fellow citizens. At least 20,000 men through- out the province are engaged in differant branches of the timber industry, and one-third of B.C.’s wages go to these workers. Fores? destruction would naturally bring about a great deal of unemploy- ment, ©” Tt is the patriotic duty of every man, woman and child, as a citi- gen of British Columbia, to do his and her utmost towards the pre- vention of forest fires, and hence against the exhaustion of hei greatest source of revenue, With this co-operation existing among the citizens of British Columbia, without which, every fire prolec- tion organization is useless, our losses will steadily diminish as the purse of our nation enlarges. Let every loyal patriot of Brit- ish Columbia then join wiih his fellow citizen in doing his duty to “Protect Our Forests.” Gives Publicity “The Last West?’ publication has the following to say: “Control of the remarkable hot springs at Lakelse Lake, near Terrace, has been secured by new proprietors, who will make many improve- ments and provide accommoda- tion for tourists and other visitors. The main spring hag a diameter boiling point constantly. Many people suffering from rheumatism and skin diseases visit these springs and remarkable cures have been effected: by simply bathing in the water. Connect- ed with the springs there is a great natural park of 300 acres of magnificent forest trees. The river has a fame all along the Pacific coast among enthusiastic disciples of Izaak Walton.
