country is new and until recent years- the re-
sources were an ‘unknown quantity. The fact,

however, remains that the roads are not roads at

all, but merely trails, passable in fine weather.

_. The New Hazelton district has been proven
one of the important: points in northern British
Columbia. It has mineral and agricultural -re-.
sources that warrant the construction of perman-
ent roads, The day for slopping soft mud into
the centre of the right of way has passed. : There

‘is now heavy traffic in all directions at all times
‘of the year;.and: mud will not do.

It behooves the. settlers, the-miners and ‘the

instance, and ‘prepare a program for road building

_ that. every Tom, Dick and;Harry should get a

community, or a number .of mines, be built, and
