The Omineca Miner has the largest bona fide circulation of any newspaper in the Northera Interior of ‘British Columbia.” Speaking to a Liverpool audience, Dr, Vaughan Cornish, F. R. G. &., drew attention to the fact that the Panama Canal ‘‘will put the immense length of the Pacific Coast of the two Americas into sen communication with the manufacturing districts of the United States and Europe.” He then went on to say: ““The breadth of the Pacific Ocean in the Tropics is so great that even from American ports there is no shortening of distance t> tropical Asia. It may perhaps not be generally realized that to; steam from Panama to Colombo across the Pacifie and through the ‘for use as a fisheries cruiser. &.

The Panama Canal concerns the British Empire in more ways than one. Obviously, as Great Britain is the largest sea-carrier, we ought to gain by an undertaking which will increase tie total amount of sea transport, and ‘also its relative efficiency as compared te land transport. Wes shall soon see British shipping companies establishing round the world routes entirely north of the Equator, a thing never before possible,’’ . The part of the address which will have the most interest for our readers is that in which Dr. Cornish, says: “One of the greatest boons conferred by the Canal on the Em- pire will be the bringing of British Columbia 6000 miles nearer by sea to Great Britain, an amount eqnal to the whole distance which separates London from Cape Town. This reduction will stimulate the trade of British Columbia, and facilitate the settlement and peopling of that great and splendid country —for there ig no fairer or more desirable land among those which owe allegience to King George.” LEIMONS: ’ The United States fears an in- ’ BANANAS flux ‘of.
