The Trunk Road

Hon. Dr. Sutherland says the
road between Burns Lake and
Endako would be completed in
the spring. The road to open up
the Skeena Valley to settlement

Terrace would “eventually” be
completed was the best he was
permitted to say. “Eventually”
is ‘a very indefinite term. When
in this distriet last summer the
Minister of Public Works stated
to the Editor of this paper that
within.two years New Hazelton
would be connected ‘by a wagon
road, On that same occasion.
Hon. A.-M. Manson stated, tha
nothirig would. be done‘on a road
between. New. Hazelton and

‘\Skeena Crossing that year. . He

later told another party that after

he would see’ that a.road would
be built. Thus “it seems that

--|| to assist. settlement in: this...dis-

: Jltriet. . Taking thé statements of

|people in Northern B.C. know

and connect New Hazelton and

the land was occupied by settlers

the two ministers together it
means. that after the settlers
have been secured and the land
is under cultivation a road will
be © built. That is not good
enough. ,

From New Hazelton to Terrace
is the finest elimate and the best
land.in Northern British Colum-
bia. It produces fruit, vege
tables and grain that cannot be
equalled in the south, yet millions
of dollars are spent on swamps,
lakes and deserts in the south
and no money can be found for
this country. That is not good
enough and will not be accepted
by the voters. The Skeena river
country must be opened up and
the many settlements served by
a trunk wagon road.

Turkey Prices
Sometimes business firms and
very often producers will tell you
that advertising does not pay,
that people do not read the ad-
vertisements, nor do they pay
attention to prices quoted in the
paper. Last week we pulled a
little trial stunt to see just how
it worked out. In a more or less
obscure position of the paper we
printed a quotation on turkey at
15 cents. per pound—deliberately
leaving out the word ‘“live’’. The
effect was electric. From Prince
Rupert to the Lakes country the
matter was freely discussed by
merchants, producers, govern-
ment officials and even by another
paper, the latter attempting to
show that this paper was knock-
ing the turkey raisers, while the
great land settlement board’s
representative exerted himself to
enthuse over the quality of local-
grown turkeys, That the columns
of the Omineca Herald. and the
Terrace News are closely read
has been successfully demonstrat-
ed, and at the same time no harm
has been done: The price of live
turkeys was 11c. and in Yancou-
ver it was 15c, Those are the
two largest turkey centres that
supply the B.C. market. Ail the

that the prices were, printed in
the Omineca Herald and in the
Terrace News, and thus the ad-
vertising ability of these papers
has been demonstrated.

‘Chas. R. Gilbert, Terrace, and
Rev. Brayfield, of Telkwa, got
their pictures in the paper as
representatives on the Provincial
party’s executive.

Victoria. — Detailed. statistics
just issued by the provincial de-
partment of lands indicate- that
the timber sealed in British Co-|
lumbia for ten months ending

period.of 1922. It. will be seen
therefore that. there was an in-
creasé of 627,000,000 feet, or 33)

timber during the first ten months
of 1998, there were, 698, and
these were valued $1,264,888. 24,
