Trought and dam nze by storm in various parts of Can- uda is the cause. Yet it is worthy of notice that the interfor of Northern British Columbia will and is, harvest- ing one of the biggest and best crops en record, It is also worthy of note that in this same section of . British Columbia there has never been a crop faihire. There have been half crops hiy and grain, and the same year full evops of fruits and. vegetables. It ts an easy county to live in and will pra duce its full share tn proportion to the work pnt on the land. Olof Hanson. ALP. who himself runs a farm and is it fucliter grower, knows as well as any hersem in. the country the great passi- hilities of the agricultural resources. As the member of parliament, and pos- sessing this knowledge, and as: the-Do- minion looks after immigration, might well devote a lot-of time to inducing the minister of- immigration to place a Jot more farmers on the land in these wonderful valleys.

It is so generally unsatisfactory. that it is a wonder the provinclal government tloes not chuck the department and put the work in the bands of a com- mission, As a political machine the public works department is no longer a factor, Most of the opposition to a fovernment comes. from the men who bbread, That has heen: the case for years. ‘Men no Longer sell their fran~ chise for a job on the road. The only trouhle about a roads com- mission would be getting a fair com- mission as -hetween the north and the south. The north is undeveloped and is badiy in- need of rounds. The south has heen developed and because it is so the people there demand all the refinements in road construction no matter at whose expense, Ther have the voting power to get what they de- TIaund from a government, and wortd aso demand the majority of the ecom- missioners, It is just the olf. old story of the big populntion destroying the small popula tion, and at the same time robbing themselves of their broad. and butter.
