bé a good tinie fériinterior points

stop-over at the various points
along the Bulkley and Skeena

beneficial to the visitors and
_ | profitable to local business houses.

to help ourselves. The railway
would welcome the adyertising
and gladly assist.

Fire Protection
Week to Start
Next Monday

The current week hasbeen pro-
claimed a "Forest Protection
Week” by the Forest “Branch,
Department of Lands, and

throughout the entire province
citizens are being approached,
where possible personally and to
a large extent through the me-
dium of the press, with a view
to requesting their co-operation
with the department in doing
their utmost this coming season
to prevent a recurrence of the
disastrous and unprecedented
havoc wrought by forest fires in
British Columbia last year,
This past winter the combined
industry and initiative evidenced
by the citizens of the northern
interior in bringing to the railway
sidings some six hundred thou-
sand railway ties, hundreds of
thousands of lineal feet of poles
and piling, and many thousands
ot board feet of sawlogs to the
local mills, has had the effect of
Stimulating the logging industry
and the benefits derived there-

degree. To aid in this immense
production the Forest Branch has

Wants B. C. Copper

A news despatch savs that!;
Great Britain is looking now to
British Colambia almost entirely
for future supplies of copper.
The announcement is very fayor-
able and should encourage the
owners of copper properties on
Rocher de Boule mountain to get
topether and resume operations.
Proven ore bodies exist, econo-
mical production has been proven
and a plant exists on the ground,
ready to run, which would handle
many hundreds of tons daily.
Yet the mines are idle and the
owners apparently refuse to
move. Possibly the provincial
government is not collecting taxes
on these properties. If the taxes
are collected they should be
doubled a few times until the.
properties are started up. Indi-
viduals or groups of men should
not be allowed to hold our natural
resources undeveloped for no
other reason than to starve seme
other group or individual out of
their rights.
