JUST ONE BIG SOLID BLOCK

The North and the interior of Brit-
ih Columbia, are sending solid Liberal
uriny of members to Victoria at the re-
cent election, The Premier is from
the north and) othet members of the
cubinet ave from the interior and the
north, These men are now in a won-
derful position to put a stop to the an-
nut raids on the provineial treasury
hy Vancourer, or as the smug south-
erners are pleased to enll their bit of
Inud. Greater Vancouver, Millions: of
dollars annually go-to that small por-
tion of the provinee which shoud ‘be
need for the development of the unde-
veloped parts of the province: the rea
revenue producing parts of the pro-
vince: the only part of the province
that cau pay off the deht of the pro-
vince and still keep it going.

The new government would be well
unvised ta pay a lot more attention to
the timber resources of the north and
the interior, The Douglas fir of the
east and the south needs no selling
propoganda from the government, but
the cedar. balsam, spruce, cotton wood
poplar and other woods of the north
i. the interior do ‘need government
sttoution. There is a vast wealth of
these woods and the province is getting
little or nothing’ out of them, ‘The
trees are rapidly maturing, have ma-
tured or are over matured. Millious
of dollnts are wasted annually, The
forestry department might well take;

heed and study uses aud markets for
this class of wood.

he northern and the interior min-
ing areas require real attention from
the government. The country is ail
new. It has wonderful possibilities.
The government should lead the way
and lead it ina big way. . Onfario has
made millions out of its northern min-
ing. Why not. British Columbia? - It
is not compulsory that the government
hand everything in the way of mines
over to speculators, many of whom are
more concerned with mining the pub-
lic than mining for mineral.

GOOD ROADS and mining trails are
badly needed in the north and. in the
interior, There is really. other - re.
venue producing industries: and posst-
bilities than the tourist traffic.. But
if the roads are good to the industrial
eoutres (tiinber .and mining and tae
farming arens) the tourists will come
just fhe same and in grenter nun bers.

It may not be easy .at first to move
the goyernment, - Vancouver. will von-

any attempt to improve couditlins, in
any part of the province that is not a
direct and imimedinte contributor — to
the Vancouver booze business—liquor
stores, beer parlors, htels,. speak
ensies antl other enterprises that are
heavy contributors to ‘the legal profes-
sion. But the northern and interior
members should remember that Great-
er Vancouver is shot three ways for
Sunday, politieally. and will nof, carry
any weight in the Legislature. The
south not only. jacks members, but with
one or two exceptions, the members
we much. below ‘the standard of the
interior men and the northern men, in
any way one wishes to consider them,
exvept that perhaps. the southern men
have a lot more ganl and determinn-
tion te make the north pay for their
grafters and extray wrencies.

May the north and the interior stand
together for a better deal: from Vie-!
toria.

WHAT OF THE POWER AGHE

The development of méchantcal p0-
wer as in aid to man has been one of
the distinguishing characteristics of
the twentieth century, The beginnings
of the modern power age ‘are back as
far as James Watt and -his steam en-
gine, but the nineteenth: century ad-
ded-a continuous series $£ discoverles
and inyeutions which made *possible
the enormous use we are now’ making
of gusoline, oil and electri¢: power as
well as steam.

Western countries have several
times as much mechanical. horsepower
for them as they kave man power.
In the Unitéd States, which ‘is ‘general-
ly considered to be thé world’s most
highly mechanized country, there are
estimated to be five or six. horsepower
fir every person in the ‘population.

Jn Canada and Great Britain it is
more Like four horse power per. person.

thing like’ twenty-five mechanical
horse power, then tliere must be“some-
horse power arnilable for every man,
womnh and child of the population,—
surely‘an amazing contrast with a cen-
tury ago when men had to rely on thelr
own strength, and that ‘of their horses
wil oxen, . Much of the greater part of
all this potential power ig: for trans-
portation. purposes ;. it is in our more
than'a million motor yelicles and our
thousands of steam locomotiyes and
ships. . Part of our, elght juillion elee-
trical horse power is used for’ 'trans-
portation too, but most of it goes into
our mines, our manufacturing plants
and our ‘homes. Besides ' electrical
power, our fuctories use another . mil-
lion and a half hursepuwer from steam
gas, oil and water wheels. Then there
tire the traetors and stationery engines
on our farms, each another reason: in
itself for calling this the ‘inechanical
‘age,
