In the not distant.future one of the
great tourist’ attractions of the north
may be a trip. by boat from Prince
Rupert to a-point on the @. N, R. near
Hazelton and also the trip from thet
same’ point down the river to Prince
Rupert. Anyone” who has ever made
the trip by’ boat: inthe early days,
and there are a good many of us, wil,
yemember the thrill of the scenery, of
the rapids and. the’ canyons. Oil or
pulverized coal burners will overcome
the ouly remembered trial of the ‘trip.
Stopping once or twice | a day to. take
on cord. Avood was indeed a: trial, ‘both
to the men ‘and the passengers, but the
boats in the early. days did not give
many hoota ‘for the passengers as. all
of them had to ‘get up the river er get
down the river and if they did not like
the boat they could always walk.

good old days and now it would be the

Local Member .
Recommends

The matter of unemployment’ dur-
ing. the winter months’ has been cc-,
cupying the’ ‘attention of Dr. H.C.
‘Wrinch, M. L..4., with the result that
he has written ‘Hon, Dr. Tolmie ‘ask-
ing him to take into consideration the
prospects of unemployment in this dis-
trict. The. Doctor pointed out that
due to a slump in mining and in the
timber business there would likely be
a.good many men*out-of -work, and
men with families and with tax-pay:
ing. property.

The Premier's attention was drawn
to the fact that clearing rightofway
and doing rock work could ‘be done as
cheaply and as well: in the winter as
in the summer, and ‘the men that he
mentioned were .especially fitted for
that ‘elass of Work.

As to where work should be’ done
the local member mentioned the: Pa-
elfie highway between . Hazelton: and
Usk. There is. o lot -of clearing to be

done and thete is a lot of rock work -

to be done, and as .that work will be.
included in- the regular ‘pubbiie. works

he pointed out that now was an excel-

tically all the route has. been survey-
ed, , A large stretch has already been’
cleared, especially where ‘there is rock
work to be done, Continuing this

trict: ‘and at: ‘the same’ ‘tinie would put
