Importar. Aisit Railway Men To the Interior It begins tu look like brighter days whend for the Northern Interior of B. {'., with, of course, the putting of ‘the northern line of the C. N. RB. on a bet- ter basis. For many years the people of the northern interior have waited for this,. Not oll could wait., Many have moved away and many have died wilting, A few new settlers have come, but net many. The country has vone back, from the standpoint of pop- ation and: development, and the ©. XN. BR, north Hne hag been away in the red for many Years, 0 much so that the eastern provinces have complained of. the burden. . The fant was not with the eanntry, There is no finer land In which to live for twelve months of the year than this same country. There is no place on the continent w here it is easier to mike a living. Tt appears now thot the Canadian National Railway is beginning to renl-|. ive that in this north country there is really a great volume of traffic wait- ing for’ development by the railway. Possibly the recurrent droughts and other severe ‘acts of nature in other parts of the country, and the serene and ever dependable northern interlor has brought to the attention of the rilway company that they must look far o safe place to put settlers. Por- haps here are other reasons, Bunt the} fact remains that something is about to be done. ‘Last week a party of Canadian Na tional men, hended by Mr..A. B.

Badly Contract Soon To be Let For Work to West “It is expected that tenders will be enlled any day now for the construc; tion of several miles of new road from New Hazelton west and from Usk east on the main provincial highway The contract will amount to some $30,600, ot at least that ig about the amount of money the provincial government will have left for this work. Just whut hits of road will be built is not yet avnilable, but a new route from Kit- segucla will be located and work wil be done from Cedarvale west and from Usk east. The whole thing will be in one contract. There is also a new bridge to go in at Kitsegucla to replace the one washed out last fall, and this will be built far enough above the riv- er to be safe from any possible high water. ra POWER GRADER IS ENROUTE The big power, grader is working its way down from Smithers to smooth out the roads in the section between Moricetown and.
