It. Uosa, 1 may say that my con"viction8 aH to the great, destiny of this province are inl measurably strengthened, as is also my belief that a new situation lias arisen, with new problems for ilie attention of tlie govern merit.v This view was expressed by Hon. W. .1. Bowser on IiIb return from his two weeks' tour of tha.t portion of the province which lies between the Alberta boundary at Yollowhead Pass and I'rinco Rupert. The attorney-general enjoyed the trip Immensely, aside altogether from more serious matters which engaged his attention. "We had a very successful trip," said Mr. Bowser. "The possibilities for development In that section of Hritish Columbia proved a revelation to me. Coming in personal contact, as we did, with the settlers who ore doing the. pioneer work in that great area, we secured first-hand knowledge of tho needs and requirements of the country, which will prove invaluable, "It. has been brought home to us, as members of tlie government, that, with the construction of railways through this virgin area, new and v-ery largo problems present themselves for consideration. Take, for instance, tho riiatt&r of roads and trails. These are absolutely vital to the settler. Vei very largely along the country traversed by the new lines of railway there are too few of these. liThe government, as a result of the fruition of the railway building program which lias been in progress in this province for the past half-dozen years, Is lace to face with a new and unique set of conditions. Great ureas of land, splendidly adapted for settlement, have been made accessible; and already the llrst of the large army of homeseek-ers have established themselves. They suffer a great disability through the absence of many facilities "which are to bo found iu the older sections hlf t' e t>C the provinc ;jhlef e provne, ^; tb'.vi needs'are TomdViinid ti'alls, Aa a rt'sult. of my personal observations along the route traveled.
