The youth of our schools to 4 life of stagnation and idle hess, when they might be absorbed ‘in a profitable industry. Instead of a srant of $42,000 a year used in mining roads and traiis, we should have a grant scconi only to that of our pub- He works for highways. British Col- umbia minerals developed to their full capacity would support the entire pop- ulation of the Dominion of Canada. Tt could wipe the depression’ out of manently than anything. else we can apply ourselves to, Let us, then, con- centrate on this industry as the one surest and safest and sanest way out of the depression in which we have becn suffering for the last few years, It was profitable to mine gold at $2 per ounce; how much more profitable then, it is to mine at its present price of $35. We alivuld reconstruct our mining Inws, particularly those séc- tins under the Securities Act, which y impede the progress of development us between the prospector and opernting status, Itither than lean backward ton far, which is handicapping these promotions, possibly we may devise wis aud Incnus of protecting these who through‘ iznorance and wenkness rush to. promotions that have little or ho merits. uo. : es & a Agricultural Industry _ Another of _ sur — basic industries which could be greatly assisted throw close ~co- operation of the department concerned, is that of the development o£ our ands and agricultural indus. tries, I would strongly urge the Hun.

The position in which those wishing to take up lan) in this province today find themselves, is rnther peculiar and dis- cowaging from the prospective set- tlers, point of view.

While these forestry men may be capable in their own particular work, yet they are not conversant. with actu- al land values from an agricultural standpoint. Furttiermore, the large number of appraisers which are’ en- paged through this system in the for- estry department does not lend itself to the unification of price. ‘It would seem that this duty more Properly belongs to the. District agri- culturist rather than the forestry de- partment. The. present premium price of $2.50 an sere should be revised in view of the fact that there is much land adjuecent to present settler’s hold. | ings that is suitable only for grazing purposes, The minimum price of $2.50 an acre is far too high.
