K L Y U M Saturday, J line 20, toj THE REDISTRIBUTION 1UM, Tho Redistribution bill, passed last week In the Dominion parliament, has a v&ry important tearing on this constituency In the Dominion house. Tho present federal district of Yale-Cariboo will be div-ided Into two parts, Cariboo on tlu> north and Yale on the south. The former will consist of tlie present provincial ridings of Kamloops, Vale, Cariboo and Lillooet. Yale will he uuule up of the ridings of Okanagan, Grand Porks, Greenwood and Slniilltameen. The result of Uiis division will be to Rivo tho Cariboo a more vieldy constituency, alt hough tho extent of territory covered will still lax the energies of one monibor. To the new settlements along the lino of tho G-rand Trunk Pacific ra.il-way, and especially to the centre of this territory, the Fort. George dis-trict, th« first, question to arise will be the threatened domination ol Kamloops in the new constituency. Tha-l threat is now a promise, for the other day in Victoria J. T. Robinson, ex-ma.yor of Kamloops, announced in an interview with 'The Colonist that he was out to run for tho new constituency of Cariboo. Incidentally Mr. Robinson developed a decidedly paternal attitude in giving advice—at this early stage— to tlie people of this district, advice \v|tieh is scarcely likely to do him much good in these parts. Me said: ".'-I have recently made a lour ol the "Point George country, where I found a great deal of activity. The townaite situation is just a little confusing, as there are so many Georges, but there can,lie no doubt that there will be built up a very important city, the distributing point for a very wide territory. 'While 1 was there I was informed t.hat a proposal was on foot to amalgamate the various „.townsites and form one municipality. This, in my judgment, would be a great mistake. As the townsites cover such a wide area, one can easily imagine what difficulties would occur to any administration which ¦would attempt, with limited means. to meet tlie demands for streets, sidewalks, s.e\vers, etc." BRITISH COMMIil.V (From The Victoria Colonist) ^ The interview which we had yesterday with Mr. Uoodiivo. of the Huh way Com mission. Ixml oiity <>/n fault, ft was too short.. i\ot rnanj people know British Columbia as well as Mr. Goodeve, and none know it better. Very few have had as good an opportunity of seeing for themselves what the province is and how conditions are, or are as able to judge aa to the prospects for the future. The present condition and future prosp&cts of this province form a theme upon which it. is difficult to speak too- optimistically. In the first place it is an exceedingly fortunate thing that tlie policy of the Federal government, involving tho expenditure of large sums oi money in British Columbia, and that of the provincia.1 government foi carrying out an extensive program ui public works and securing extensive railway construction, synchronized with the advent of a period of depression. By them, industrial activity has Tjeen maintained, and the province has been tided over what otherwise might easily have boon a period of very severe trial. Business is reviving, and the revival finds the province alive with the work of preparation for the general advance that must surely cotne. It i8 worth mentioning some of these factors -which combine to make the condition of British Columbia somewhat unique. At Port GeorKo, Mr. Goodeve found camps of the Grand Trunk Pacific and the Pacific Great Eastern railway companies. That is to Bay/at"vthis point two railways within tfie proVince whose mileage within Dtritish ^Kxilumbla will aggregate .aajjfa r,5 00.\niles, intersect each other, aud alimg both of them millions of, dollars have been expended during tW^Jast two years, and millions n^jMTwill b& expended in the next .tflfo. This cttrrjes with it a tremendous amount of * private expenditure, and means that hundreds of people are coming into the province: to make their homes here. In days not very long gone by, this would of itself have been regarded as a ground for great rejoicing. But this is not all that is being done in the way of railway work. The Canadian Northern is fast pushing its line diagonally across the province to completion, and not far away from its work the Canadian Pacific is expending millions in boring through the mountains, so as to reduce its grade to meet tlie lower grades of the other transcontinental linos. There is more yet to tel!. In the southern part of tlir> province the Kettle River Valley Railway is engaged in a work thai menus millions of outlay, and the Great Northern is not idle.-' Xor is this all. On Vancouver Island, both tlie Canadian Pacific and tho Canadian Northern are engaged in work of very great magnitude. These great undertakings in full progress serve to prepare tho province for tlie coming of better times. Mr. Cioodeve directed special attention to the gTeat prosperity of the niinluj region. Be says Llie output for tliu >'eur will bo a aurprlso to all. This la In accordance with a forecast given1 Tlie ColonhsW+y Sir Hlcli- iari! .MeBridc more than a year ago. lit means very much for tlie province, and also for tho railway companies operating in the mining roglotiB. The icompletion of the Grand Trunk Pa-, cillc, the Canadian Northern and the Pacific Great Eastern will serve lo stimulate thisff industry, for it will j lead to a very great deal inore activity In prospecting Uiaj/n&B been going on for some tlmojitsl, and will make commercially Wluable pros-, jircis Hitherto neglectoH for lack of transportation facilities.!
