PROVISIONS The same standard for Stewart as we have maintained for the past twenty-one years on the North Coast The Best Meats at the Lowest Prices RUPERT BRAND HAMS AND BACON Streets and Sidewalks The resolution passed by the Citizens' Association on Monday evening last, supporting the action of the executive, in their endeavor to this year get the government to clean up the streets and sidewalks of Stewart, and put the sidewalks in repair, is a step in the right direction. Over a period of some few years, prior to the war, the government spent thousands of dollars constructing these streets and sidewalks. Since then practically nothing has been done to maintain them, except in a number of cases where private individuals have from time to time done considerable in the way of replacing new walks in front of their own property, or patching up the old, thereby showing a very commendable spirit, for this reilly is not the business of the individual. Local taxes are levied and collected for such a purpose as this, and for the defraying the cost of government, whether provincial or municipal, it would seem immaterial, if there is no municipal body as in the case of Stewart, then these taxes are, as is the case collected by the Provincial government, and by so doing it would appear that such government assumes the duties of that of a municipality, and would therefore be the logical body to approach, with a view to having the streets and sidewalks in the town put in repair, and maintained in good condition, otherwise the question might be asked, for what are the people paying taxes. Another Link Tested The South African link in the British Commonwealth of Nations has recently been subjected to the very severest test possible, and been found sound in every respect, by the crushing defeat in the South African elections, administered to the Nationalist Party led by General Hertzog, the secessionist, by the South African Party, led by General Smuts, whose policy is to keep South Africa within the Empire. No greater tribute has ever been, or ever could be paid to British Institutions, than this decision of the people of South Africa-to remain within the Empire. A people who only twenty years ago were meeting us as enemies upon the battlefields of their own land, yet who today elect to remain an integral part of a system of States, known as the British Empire, growing and evolving all the time towards new destinies, confronting the world united, as the greatest bulwark for peace and liberty that the world has ever known.

Roughly Vancouver is 800 miles from the same point in the Peace River country that is reached in 400 miles from Stewart, which is the natural outlet for tin- whole northern and eastern interior. Nearly every settler in the Peace River district is talking of railway communication with the coast. Speaking in broad terms there are thirty-two millions of acres of the Peace River district situated within the . boundaries of British Columbia, and more than forty millions of acres within the Province of Alberta, most of it being suitable agricultural land for mixed farming or ranching. In addition there is a vast area of mmer-il and timber resources, the extent of which is only beginning to be realized. Immense deposits of anthracite coal have been located and the president of the Peace River Board of Trade is authority for the statement that this coal grades higher than ��� Pennsylvania coal. , ��� i Extensive exploration work is being carried on in connection with oil anil lready startling results have been 0^ I tain I'd. The oil sands are located at a depth of about sixteen hundred feet and enough investigation has taken place to be assured that they are of wonderful extent. There is also an abundance of natural gas. The area unfler cultivation atpresent is only about three hundred thousand acres and the population of the whole district is about twenty thousand. The first grain"was sent out of the country three years ago, and consisted of less than one thousand bushels. Last year nine million bushels were produced from about a quarter million acres, the average wheat yield being thirty-five bushels to the acre or nearly double the average of other portions of Alberta. The land is also well adapted for the raising of stock of all kinds, particularly hogs. lt is reasonable to suppose that if two hundred and fifty thousand acres are now producing nine million bushels of grain, that within a very few years there will be ten million acraa producing three hundred and fifty million bushels of grain, or roughly, ten million tons.
