No Advertising Aecepted for First Page LOOK AHEAD, VANCOUVER! Our Vancouver contemporaries are devoting considerable space to the problem of opening up the Peace River district, and in the various solutions put forward no attempt has been made to consider the question from any other standpoint than that of the benefit to Vancouver. The question is "How can the Peace River district be opened up to the best advantage?" and the only answer is "By the shortest route to tidewater." From Stewart lo Grande Prairie is 450 miles. From Vancouver to the same point is at least 850 miles by the shortest possible route. These are facts which cannot be ignored, and if the Peace River district is to be opened up from its logical outlet, Stewart is the only point that can be considered. The Peace River district has 60,000,000 mam issue. Vancouver has become great and is still marching on to greater achievements; her supremacy has been accomplished mainly by the spirit of her inhabitants, but her viewpoint has at times been parochial instead of provincial, and a broader outlook would redound to her advantage. The Province, north and south, is one. Too often in the past has the development of the north been retarded by the attitude of the people of the south, and Prince Rupert would be still unborn if the efforts made to thwart the building of the Grand Trunk Pacific railway had been successful, yet the coming into being of Prince Rupert has added to the prosperity of Vancouver, which will be still further enhanced by coastwise traffic when the Peace River district is connected by railway to Stewart. The maritime traffic of Western Canada is centered in Vancouver; a cheap waterhaul and low freight rates over a short direct railway line from Stewart to the Peace River district would add to her shipping and associated business, thereby producing a far greater volume of business than could be obtained by a roundabout railway. Look ahead, Vancouver! Visualize the Peace River country when its now vacant lands are turned into productive farms, see the millions in gold dust that will be garnered from the wilds of Cassiar, behold the developments consequent upon the opening up of one of the world's greatest potential lode mining territories, and realize that in the short water haul you have a greater asset than in a railway line, and acres of agricultural lands. To render this area commercially profitable by means jin realizing this you will add your influ of a railway is the question now before jence to secure for the Peace River district the Railway Commission, and it is to be Jits logical railway outlet at Stewart. Canadians all over British Columbia will resent the attempt to bar American capital from coming into this province. Certain individuals in this province, because of selfish interests and ulterior motives, are endeavoring to stifle the mining industry. A recent despatch referred to a conference between the mining and wholesale bureaus of Vancouver! Board of Trade, the B. C. Chamber ��f Mine?, Hon. H. H. Stevens and J. A. Clark, Dominion membersof Parliament, at which it was decided to call a special meeting of the mining bureau to consider the advisability of suggesting to the government that ownership of British Columbia minerals in the future be restricted to British citizens. Whiie every inducement should be offered to Canadian citizens to share in the mining prosperity of this province, it would be the worst kind of folly to prevent either American or European capital from investing in this province. Tho one crying need of the Dominion ia capital and we cannot afford to bar it coming from any country. Such are the sentiments expressed by the editor of the Cranbrook Courier, to which we give endorsement. He adds the opinion that if Canadians would develop a national spirit similar to our neighbors to the south, this country would have one hundred million ptople CAROLAN'S Meat Market and General Stor Hardware Groceries Boots and Shoes Fresh Meats World^CfcJ Stoves and Uang,s Powder, Caps and Fuse One pair genuine Silk Stockings given with each 810 c-**h purch>se SALMON RIVER BANKING COMPAN!

B.C. KEEP WARM Body Belts Hot Water Bottles BE COMFORTABLE Creams and Lotions For Rough Skin Stewart Drug Store It is now certain that Stewart ia to be favored with the installation of a modern and thoroughly equipped steam laundry, and it is fully expected that it will be ready for operation by the first of May. This is because of the well known public spiritedness and business thrift of J. P. Hawkinson, who but recently returned from a trip to the southern cities and seon made it known that he had already placed an order for a fully modern steam laundry plant which will very soon be on its way here. He says he has not pone into the matter hastily but has had it under consideration for some months, believes the investment is warranted and that with the reasonable co-operation of the citizens of the town and surrounding district, should pay a fair profit on the cost of installation and operation. To assure satisfactory work, an experienced operator will be employed at the outset, and careful attention paid to the minor details of the business, which are possibly more noticeable in this than in many other lines of business, in order to. prevent the loss of small articles or interchange, which is most annoying to all concerned. A suitable site will be chosen as speedily as possible and a new | building erected adapted for the work to be done. As the water commonly in use here is rather hard for laundry work, without the use of softening preparations, it is the intention to bring the water from Rainy Creek, and this item will incur considerable extra expense and labor. Nothing like this, however, will deter Mr. Hawkinson from carrying the venbure to a successful issue and it is hoped the patronage of the community will be freely given.

LOCAL STOCKS CONTINUE ACTIVE GOING TO BUILD 9 The Indian mines caused a big flurry in the stock market during the week, going up as much as eight points. This we believe was caused by continued rumors that the Indian diamond drills had hit a large ore body. The management has made no public' announcement. Indian is een-i sidered to be due for big fluctua-. tien. The heavy demand for Porter- Idaho Company issue is continuing and the local allotment will shortly be taken up.
