There is at present a demand for houses and there is reason to believe that there will be more building done this sum- mer than for a number of years. Several real estate deals have taken place and others are in prospect. The greatest need at present is a smal! hotel or room- ing house. There is no accom- modation at present for the gen- éral public and this lack is a serious handicap. There are buildings available which would answer the purpose very weil. There is good business offering, This spring the Northern In- terior Land Co., owners of the land adjoining New Hazelton, will put a number of acreage blocks on the market and for these a number of people is al- ready waiting. The conditions under which these blocks will be sold will mean considerable build- ing in the immediate vicinity and a corresponding increase in busi- On the whole the outlook this spring is quite the brightest since the days of railway construction. An exchange says, “‘Thank goodness, the wintet is almost over.’’ But think of the weeds that are starting to grow. The official stenographer in the Legislature has been retired with a pension for life of $1.80 per month, This will probably be paid in weekly instalments to avoid danger from hold-up men. Premier Oliver says he is will- ing to quit his job if any can prove that he knew of any graft in connection with the P,G.K. construction since he took charge. That is a safe statement for the premier to make. The first real attempt to make Prince Rupert an ocean-going Dort will be made by four saw. mills on the lower Skeena. Those mills propose to ship through Prince Rupert a miliion feet of hemlock lumber to-the Atlantic seaboard, yia the Panama Canal. Because some wiseacres in Van- couver, and Victoria were stung recently on a get-rich-quick. pro- motion, the southern papers how! for a blue-sky law to be adminis- tered by a southern board.

McCaffery claims that in 1 six years there will not be a lot in Prince Rupert worth less than a thouand dollars and that there may be from twenty-five to thirty thousand people there. If Michael is correct this interior country is in for very rapid development— even a good old-fashioned bqom will be small by comparison. ~ Letters to the Editor: dl Brrr etesiie The Editor. Dear Sir:—I have been intending to write you for some time in reference to Beef Must Be Got Ready,”’. which appeared in your issue of January. 26th. It was short and to the point, espe- cially the last paragraph, and I only wish that our Editors throughout the range country to the South, would drill into the range user in the same straight- from-the-shoulder way the necessity for caring for the stock on the open range. To quote from my statement to the B.C, Stockbreeders at their convention on February 13th at Vancouver: ‘The Breeder of Purebred Cattle, the Fruit Grower, the Poultry Breeder, the Berryman, the Range Sheepman, and the Professional and Business man of the cities do not expect to—and don’t— build up a profitable business unless they are keenly on the job all the time, “‘It is strange then that the average range cattleman expects to reap a pro- fit from his business when he opens hia back gate in the Spring and turns thousands of dollars’ worth uf Beef Cattle loose on the open ranges to shift for themselves until Fall." Aa I heave pointed out, the range stockman is too apt to lose sight of the fact that the big operations of his pusiness take place on the open range. The calves are nearly al) born there; “The cows are bred there; The beef makes its biggest prowth there; and yet it is the practice to turn the cattle. Aoosa without supervision. They over-graze areas of choice range and neglect about nine-tenths of the balance. This resultsin damaged range, a low calf crop, and a heavy loss in the growth of beef. The Province of British Columbia ships in about 15,000 head of beef cattle for home consumption each year. Last year 26.000 head came in and 11,000 were exported, but that 11,000 were from other provinces, just passing through. At the same time our cattle are largely a drug on the, market be- cause we will not look after them on the range nor feed properly in winter. A prominent stockman. warned the growers present at the convention on February 18th that imports into the province would undoubtedly increase if they did not pay:more attention to the preparation of their beef for market. Few range men know where their beef cattle is during the summer. They have not been in -the habit of looking after it at all and seldom think of rounding it up until fall. Tney near- ly all do it then and the result it a mar- ket glutted with poor beef, The beef cattle must be fed better in winter, they must be dehormed'and they must go out on the range in the apring ready to begin growing and not in such shape that they take weeks to reach normal condition. Attention to this will give early beef of good condi- tion and shipments: may be made throughout the summer months. Co- operation in range use will make this possible. North Centrai British Colum- bia grows the best summer feed in the province, The land produces the best ‘of hay and grain erops.‘ Consequently the preparation , of superior and- early beef i is easily possible 2 THos.
