VARIETIES *nd Broccolo.— THOMAS BRACE, Avenue, 2 Blocks South ©I 0,7? aM Grounds, Port Gtotg: '•»v« ordsri with NortUni Hard- Alder Hon. A. M. ManBori, attorney-general, was accorded a rousing reception when he appeared at the annual meeting of the B. C. division of the Canadian Manufacturers' Association last week at Vancouver, and in an address replete with facts and figures, reviewed the industrial and economic situation, the railway question, government sale of liquor, and other leading questions of. the day. Throughout his address he,appealed for co-operation in the administration of the affairs of the province, and pointed out that only by courage, determination and perseverance could British Columbia overcome the mahyv problems confronting it and insurexany measure of prosperity. Urging that one of the first essentials in the existing situation was greater production, Hon. Mr. Manson also pointed out that greater markets -were just as essential and alluded to the big opportunities existing for development of trade between the coast and Central British Columbia. In that connection he said-that while B.C. was often described as a sea of mountains, there were millions of acres of agricultural land in Central B.C. and that in many places mountains could not be seen for miles and miles. . Tapping Peace River. / In discussing ^the possibilities of the northland Ke referred tp^the Pacific Great Eastern Railway, contending that when it was built it should have been started from some point on the Grand Trunk Pacific, to tap the great reservoir of wealth lying in the Peace River country. He did not know what the future of that road would be, but urged that the federal government should seriously consider coming to the assistance of Uie province. . • Coming to mining,' he saI3""tHaTTie" believed the future would show that between three and four-fifths of the mineral wealth of the province rested in that portion of the' province between- Bella Coola and the Alberta boundary. He touched upon the production of the Premier Mine at Stewart, the Salmon River Valley, Alice Arm, Hazelton, Teikwa and other sections, pointing out that not only gold, silver, lead and copper deposits existed there, but also large deposits of coal. * Room For More Pulp Mills In regard to the timber resources, he mentioned that great limits, of pulp wood were to be found in the north, and said that there was room for half a dozen more large pulp mills in that section of the country. Existing freight rates had closed some of the mills, he said, and added that British Columbia would persist unti it was granted equitable rates with other sections of the Dominion. He delivered a telling shot when he pointed out that in the reports sub niittcd to the assembled manufactu'r ers, while mention had been made of Vancouver, Victoria and New West minster harbors, nothing had been said of Prince' Rupert, which he con tended was the third best harbor in the world and easier of access than Vancouver. On the question of a^riculturn production he asked the,:gathering i it knew that annually this provinc | imported between $20,000,000 an $30,000,000 worth of ajyrriculturn products, nnd said that with develop ment it would export that amount He voiced regret that British Gol umbians did not display dufficien faith in their province, to invest a did Americans, and then turned hi attention to unemployment, declarin that the solution of this problem di not rest with the-provincial or mun cipal governments as much as wit the pepole themselves. In that con nection he referred to Oriental in migration and sounded a note c warning when he said that the Jap anesewere buying land on the check erboard system. He had toldrepre sentatives of the prairie nfrovince when at Ottawa recently that the. would'soon have to face this seriously, for the/Orientals/vvoul find their way ^ross the^Kockits i the very neaffuture. / / "I don't want to/*ee the Orient in thisjprovinceXsaid the «Poakc amid applause. "I don't want to se any race in this country that can assimilate with us. U may be tha the people of Eastern Canada do-no reWie the zsignificance of this quc tion, but if the~sQggestion^put-fo ward by one of the members at Ottf was adopted, that every Orient wa was adopte, entering the country be given fr.e transportation/to Ontario, the peopl* >f the East would soon realize its ignificance." Municipalities Warned. Turning to the liquor question, he iterated his recent statement that would insist upon the strict en-brcement of the act, stating that it he municipality would not administer the law, then the government ould, _and that the municipality ould pay the bill. "So long as I am attorney-general for this province, I will not permit the municipalities to . evade their duties as they are doing now," he declared. "I will not tolerate the conditions that ' exist at the present time, and the municipalities will have to take their share of the problem." I se no reason why the govern-ient cannot handle the liquor ques-ion—but it needs your help and co-(peration in carrying out the law. he duty of a trtie prohibitionist now to get behind the government and support it in its ^efforts to carry ut the mandate of the people." ¦MMWtllllli Monte *Fraser | GUIDE FOR HUNTERS AND TIMBER MEN. | Can Take You to Any Part of This District.
