q the admirable commission system adopted by the British Columbia
government. The commissioners showed a laudable desire to ob-

tain all information regarding the conditions of labor throughout

the district, and especially along the line of railway construction,

it is rather unfortunate that witnesses qualified: to speak of

the hospital conditions along the line were not available at the

time of hearing. The commissioners showed by their questions

that this subject had been brought to their notice, but no evidence

was forthcoming. As the inquiry will be continued at Fort

George and Fort Fraser, it isto be hoped that the Labor Com-

mission will be able to probe the contractors’ hospital system to

with the oldest provinces,

In 1912, British Columbia jump-
ed to first place in fishing pro-
duets in the whole Dominion,
with an output of $18,678,000.
In minerals this provinee pyro-
duced the stupendous total of
$32,600,000. Its agricultural pro-
duction in 1912 was $22,452, 412,
In timber its cut was 1,262, 000,-
000, valued at $19,000,000. Brit-
ish Columbia’s total production
of natural and agricultural pro-
duets in 1912 was $120,000,000,
or over $800 for every man,
woman and child in the province,

Between 75,000 and 100,000 peo-
ple came into the province in 1912,

to 400,000,
2000 miles of railway were under
construction in British Columbia,
involving an expenditure of over
$25,000,000. The government
itself spent over $5,000,000 on
1500 miles of roads and trails,
Statistics are dry, but nothing
illustrates better the wonderful

In reviewing this astounding
growth there is only one answer
—“railways.”’ For many years
the province has had only one
transcontinental railway — the
Cunadian Pacific. Suddenly, a
few years ago, two other trang-

. continentals began feverishly to

build, and inside two years Brit-
ish Columbia, on the Pacific,
will be linked with the Atlantic
Coast by three railroads--the
Canadian Pacific, the Grand
Trunk Pacific, and the Canudian
Norther: Pacific. The first of
the new transcontinentals—the
Grand Trunk Pacific—is opening

The railway owned the site of

Prince Rupert, jointly with the .
government of British Columbia,
and the first lots were sold at
auctions held five years ago in
Vancouver and Victoria. It is a
fact that lots that then brought
a few hundred dollars at the sale
were sold for as many thousands

a few months later, and have
since been sold for almost ag

lots there last fall, and one cor-
ner lot brought $58,000, The
present owner asks $80,000 for
the same lot—and he wil! get it.
