He Introduced this j Tart of his address with tiie obser- j ration that a general electon con- ' stitutes a great opportunity for the i people if they seize it properly; but they can only make the mast of it by "confining their discussion to the chef issues in the campaign, and he j conceived these to be the economic | issues If the people permitted them- \ selves to drift into personalities they j would find in the end that all that j had been accomplished had been the I passing of another opportiuvty for doing something worth while for' themselves. Mr. Mclnnis said he had attended , j meeting of one of his opponents in | Prince Oeogre a few weeks ago with [he result there had followed a per- I istent effort to make him appear" I as a very bad man; He said he was prepared to make duo allowances for ! ople who get warmed-up in the process of an election campaign, but he was determined to bring to nc- j count those persons in the commun- j itv who conceived it to bo their right j during an election contest to say I ¦ •.-; r.t: and do anything against | the other fellow.

It apjieared to him tihat according to me rveople there should tfe a devil in politics, and the red devil had been poized upon as most likely to ( Gcare the electors.

Without question the game itself whs the finest witnessed here in- many years, being very clean, and with both the miners and the local team plavlng combination that was unexcelled. The great heat had a telling effect, particularly in the second half, when the game slowed up, due to 3j minute-- of hard play in the first half. Prince George v.on '.he toss and elected to play with 'ho .'.-n at their backs, which ga\e tlv.m a slicht advantage at the beginning. After 10 minutes of play, Gabrele. playing inside right for Prince, opened the scoring with a nice rush which completely beat the goalkeeper. Twelve minutes later, after some nice combination team work, Engelhart, out-s:de right dropped in the seconci counter for Prince George when he lofted a high ball into the goal-mouth which was just out of the goalie's reach, bouncing over his head. Johnny Hoist, the bustling cernher-forward of the Prince George team gave his mates the third and last goal when he seized an opportuirty seldom presented in a game. Playing well forward Johnny was right up when one of the forwards made n shot, on goal which the goal-tender v.'iu; clearing. In attempting to clear the iroalie struck his head on the goal-post, dazing him. He dropped j the ball which Heist rushed, putt'ng j in the third goal. While Prince | had a decided ed°e in the scoring in j the first half, Wingdam played a! good steady g£me. Commencing the second half Wnirdnm started in to, have things jnore their own \v<~iy. and after 14 minutes of play were rewarded for their efforts, when Scotty Henderson J gave them a goal. The securing of this goal spurred the Wingdam 'team J to harder play, and only the sterling j defence work, coupled with some luck, kept them from scoring again.

Prince George Will Press for an Early Start in Building of Necessary Roachvay. A meeting of the members of the executive of the Pi-mce George boaj-d of trade was held on Thursday evening to make arrangements for the holding of the annual convention of the Associated Boards of Trade of Northern B. C. in this city on Friday and Saturday. August 2nd and 3rd. As a side attraction to the convention it was decided to have as many delegates to the convention a-s poss'ble become the guests of the members of Ohe Prince George board on a trip to Quesrrel, and from that point pay a visit to the Wingdam and Cariboo Quartz mining properties, the outstanding goid producers in the Barkerville area. The local board of trade has had a standing invitation to visit the Quesnel board, as well as an invitation from the managements of the two nrncs to inspect their properties, and in the opinion of bhe executive many of the delegates to the con-vention from ouusicie. ]X)in-ts would welcome an opportunity to go through the mines. It is planned to have a meeting w?,th the members of the Quesnel board on Saturday evening at 8 o'clock, and to pay a visit to the mines on Sunday. This arrangement would enable those who desire to do so to return to Prince George on Sunday evening. As there promises to be an ample number of cars available for the outing the executive of the board desires that all members who would like to make the trip, but who do not possess cars, hand their names in to the secretary. J. O. Wilson \vlv?n arrangements will be made for their transportation. As to the convention, the executive arranged that chr> Prnce Georira board should be represented by Messrs. George B. Williams, J. O. Wilson, W. L. Armstrong. A. B. Mof-fat and W. L. Hughes. While tho privilege of voting in t:u> convention will be restricted to these delegates, on behalf of the Pr'nco George board, all members ef the local board are entitled and are urged to attend and take part in the deliberations of the convention. . Friday's session of the convention will be followed by a dinner in the Prince George hotel, commencing at 7 o'clock. The visiting cTc-Iegates will be the gueste of the loral board, with a charge of 75 cents for members nf the local board. Following the dinner there will be a dance in the ballroom with an admis-'on charge of 25 cents. The executive of-thn locnl board has decided upon the submission of a number of resolutions to the convention. These wi\l include resolutions favoring the completion of the highway from Prince George to the eastern boundarv cf th? province to connect with the Alberta h^hway system, and a resolution urgjny the building of the Pence River h'shwiv. A resolution on the Peace River highway will be opportune ns the provincial government 's now encaged in making reconnaissance surveys to determine the most suitable location for the Alaskan highway. Thn project will entail exceptionally heavy expenditures and it has been contended the proposed location, leaving the provincial highway system at Hazel ton. is by no means the br';t that can be secured. An nlte-nstfvp location, follcw'n^ the Parsnip and Finlay rivers is being examined bv the government, which it is urced would not only furnish a better lo-cat'on for the Alaskan "hlplway but would follow closely the existing" system of water transportation. a.s well as providing a large segment for a highway to tie the Peace River district 'in with the rest of the province. Other resolutions t^ be submitted will include one' calliiv-j; u'.>r»i the federal, eovernment to establish de-monstrat;on Fanns at points in the Central Inter "or. and one dealing with the handicap suffered by district ¦ sawmills m the discrlmmatina' railway fre:£rht rates as compared wifcli the rates extended to the coast mills.
