NORTHERN B. C. TO THE FORE

The missionary work that has been
carried on for the past twenty years
in behalf of the northern and central
part of British Columbin has: made
good and just at a time when the peo-
ble living in that great central ‘empire
were about: to-give up.in the face of
many discouragements, the world at
large has awakened to the fact’ that
the best bet in Canada, or.in the known
world for pioneer investments, is in the
northern and central parts of ‘British
Columbia, and many of us who have
been growing old in the work of ad-
vaneing the interests of the country,
are now about to see many of their
dreams realized.’ From all parts of the
world huge sums of money ‘are powr-
ing ino - this part. of the province, or
fre being’ gathered together to come
in. Every line of industry .is being de-
veloped from the humble farm to the
continental railway:
are ‘coming the peopie und, everything
points to great progress for mnany years
to come.

. One of the greatest companies in 4 the
world, if not indeed, ‘the grentest com-
pany, ‘the C. P. R. and its subsidiary,
Trail Consolidated, have already an
inv estment in the north which means
that ‘the firiances: and the brains of the
whole organization are at the back of
this new country. For the past couple
of years the. Consolidated people
have been acquiring ‘and developing
mineral. properties, They have many,
broperties along the Canadian - ‘Nation-
al railway line and in the far north
where there is yet no railway connec-
tion, and no means of transportation
whatever. But the transportation is}
going to be provided at a very early
date. The purchase. of the Canadian
Northeastern railway starting at Stew-
art, is the first step of a plan to open
up the north from the coast through to
the Gr oundhog coal fields, the Ingenica
and across to Finlay Forks at which
point connections will be made for the
Pence River grain country.

. Power Corporations are securing the
best water rights in the north and‘ the
plans ‘are prepared for the deyelop-
ment of electrical energy on a scale a

ered‘ fantastic.

One of. the great fentures favoring
all this expansion and development is
the favornble attitude of the govern-
ment of British Columbia, and of the
favornble attltude of the Conservative

all times the Conservative party, “hn

moyed band in hand with advancement
and that part of the Dolicy has never
been altered and is as much to ‘the
front today as ever ‘it was, ‘There Is
also evidence that the’ party at Ottawa
and the party nt Vietoria are working

and centre of the province is to, be put
on'n highly productive basis, This, is
to include the development of. the ' na-
tural resources, such as mines, and tlm-
ber, and also the: ‘igricultural lands
and followed up by. industries - af. all
‘Kinds ‘to supply the requirements . of
the new population that. has started to |
arrive, Big days and bright days, are
in store for northern and: central Brit-
‘ish Columbia: .
