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

Straits of Malacca is a longer voyage than that from the North to
the South Pole. 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.”
