ALTERNATIVE VOTING WILL BE USED IN THE COMING PROVINCIAL ELECTION HERE’S WHY THE NEW SYSTEM IS BEING USED The Voting system has been changed to enable every voter to cast his ballot for more than one candidate in order of his preference. When you vote under the Alternative Vote system YOU GET MORE THAN ONE CHOICE. This will prevent any candidate being elected on a minority vote as has happened in the past. The candidate so elected in each riding will have received an absolute majority over all other candi- dates combined. HERE’S HOW YOU VOTE WITH ALTERNATIVE VOTING The Alternative Vote is as simple as the voting system used before only, instead of marking an X against your one choice only, you can mark 1-2-3-4 with your first choice as number one, your second choice as number two and so forth in order of your preference. Further messages will appear in your daily and weekly newspapers explaining the Alternative Vote. Watch for them. Fred H. Hurley ... . Chief Electoral Officer AV-1 PROVINCE OF BRITISH COLUMBIA ‘Small Man’ in Lumbering Will Disappear States Orchard In B.C.'s lumbering industry the ilttle man is doomed. i Just like the hand logger, the man man with a steam pot and a donkey,| with a team of oxen, and later, the| small man of today — with diesel | and a couple of falling saws—is fat- ed to disappear, This was the opinion expressed by Dr. C. D. Orchard, Deputy Minister of Lands and Ferests and Chief For- ester ‘of B.C. when he met with members of the press to explain gov- ernment views and policies in con- nection with the forest industry. “The small man has always been doomed, and he is doomed today. “The status quo will not remain —and no one wants it to be so,” he declared. The situation was, summarized the Chief Forester, that there were two or three times as many opera- ors as-there had been before, but not so much timber. In his opinion, the trouble lay, not with forest management licence, but with the ‘little fellow” who was “frustrated and bewildered.” Tis same “little fellow’? was criti- Letter to the Editor (Continued from Page 2) I feel that our only hope of being able to continue to reap revenue from our moose is by allowing these old cows, who, tough as they are, can withstand the rigors of the very severe winters we have witnessed in recent years — these old vows whirh have faithfully been producing cal- ves year after year — shall be al- lowed to live and continue to raise! caves.

Kill them off, and in the huge num- bers they will be killed off at if this shooting it allowed, and from where is your future supply of bulls com- eal of the government passing out big pieces of land to the “big men,” said Dr. Orchard, but this was a mat- ter of practical economies. Only 20 per cent of B.C. production was used at home, and the rest had to be sold abroad — a thing which the smail man could not do. The paper — which would be the province's salvation in the years to come — another field the small man could not enter. added Dr. Orchard. The small man, he said, would be able only to sell logs to the big op- busines erators; and would eventually be dealing with “wood” instead ot “logs.” “In answer to the suggestion that forest lands be put into privaie own- efship, Dr. Orchard declared that he did not think that private owners would fall over. themselves to put tor gement into practise. Private ownership would have to be regulated, he added and he did not think that the people of the prov- ince would want this. In reply to other questions, Dr. Orchard answered that British Col- mbia does have timber inventory— and a complete one at that. It Was, he said, better than that of any other province in Canada. Dr. Orchard stated that the pres- ent cost inventory showed 300 bil- lion feet which would permit an annual allowable cut of three bil- lion feet. He replied “‘No” when asked if he thought that private enterprise was doing a better job of forest manage- ment below the horder than the U.S. Forest Service. 1 mana 100 Mile News LODGE GUESTS for the Easter holidays are Mr. and Mrs. Obrien- french of Banff and Mrs. L.

I am distressed to see that Herb Gardner, one of these business men and one who sees his fair share of | the guide’s dollars, apparently. sane- | tioned this killing of cows. There is far more, I believe, to| this story than was told at the recent | Game Meeting. I hope to tell a little more of it myself at the forthcoming game conyention. And if I am wrong| and Mr. Hatter can furnish absolute- | ly satisfactory proof I am wrong, then of course I am quite willing to bow my head before his knowledge. But if he himself had the knowledge which will prove I am at fault then for the life of me, I cannot see why it was not given the recent Game Zone Meet. I hope you have room for all this, | Mr. Editor, because this is a most vital subject to the interests of so many in Cariboo and Chileotin.
