J What would such trail connection ac- mately correct many of these statements [ complish, is naturally the first question contain considerable humor and tragedy.'. asked. It will shorten the winter travel and mail Humor? Strained and cheap, yes. Tragedy? In the ignorance and lack of grasp of fundamentals exhibited by so many en trusted with the present and future of this Province. Here are three samples of some of the brainless vaporings indulged in by representatives of three parties during the present session: One advocates the moving of all the people out of northern B. C. to the south. What would that do? Double unemployment in the centres and-cause a decrease in business for the south of 50 per cent. Another advocates the building of 200 miles of scenic motor road from the G. T. P. Railway to Bella Coola for tourists. (This would serve little other purpose, and then for only about five months in the year.) Fancy wanting to add another $4,000,000 to our already heaviest per capita debt of any Province in Canada. Still another member recommends the giving of a grant of land along the P.G.E. ''Pee Gee," to graduates from the University of B. C, as if these same worthy students from this "You Bear Costs" have not already cost the taxpayer enough, without being asked to keep them for life. Some Christmas tree our worthy legislators would decorate with nice little presents, done up in bright silver paper and tied with pretty string, for that ever route from Telegraph Creek and Dease Lake coun try to the centres of the south by at least 1000 miles. In other words, it would bring that district approximately 1000 miles nearer, and so give great impetus to the development of its vast resources. Supposing that by some miracle Vancouver trade routes to the Orient and Europe could be shortened by 1000 miles���what tremendous impetus it would give that city! The same applies proportionately to Telegraph Creek and Dease Lake. Such a trail would as well open up an exceptionally rich area in minerals, furs and timber be- I tween Stewart and Telegraph Creek, and enable trappers and prospectors to exploit it, to their own and the benefit of the whole Province. For increased development of our minerals, fur and timber means increased prosperity to all. "But oh," say some, "it will cost so much money!" This is incorrect. It will not cost any more money than a mile of paved road in the south built to create brewery payrolls and bank accounts and for the convenience and pleasure of refugees from the Volsted Act in the form of tourists. If properly administered, $30,000 is sufficient to bring Telegraph Creek and Dease Lake, in winter, 1000 miles nearer the big centres, the accomplishment of which will, in one year, mean a saving to, and an increase in business, fully equal to the total cost. This is one branch only of a trail system advocated in these columns some three years ago. i The local Board of Trade have now taken up the question, and no effort should be spared on the part of the people affected, until this necessity is a realization.

Hoard meets 1st and 3d Tuesdays of each month, Board Rooms $12,648. 000. Since that time, with the steady development of the North Ontario field, production has shown a rising tendency, sometimes interrupted for a year, but mounting still higher the next. The growth is due almost entirely t�� the development of the Ontario field, which in 1924 pro- \ duced gold valued at $25,700,000. This year, it is expected, will see a still greater rise, for Ontario production reached the $15,000,- ! 000 mark for the first six months of 1925, and production is expected to proceed at an even greater rate in the present six months.

FOR A GOOD SMOKE See Pete at the Exchange Cigar Store Cigars, Cigaretts, Tobaccos and Snuff - BEST BRANDS Local Stocks (Quotations by H.W.M.Rolston & Co) The greatest activity for some time was shown in all Portland Canal stocks during the past week. Among the most marked were: Independence, which came into big demand on a steadily rising market. Victoria Mines were slightly bid for. Dunwell slackened off a point or two, but this stock always finds a ready market. Porter Idaho still remained at low levels, with a large amount of trading, especially on the southern markets. Indian remained steady and was in slight demand. There are rumors current of a big merger on some Bear River properties, but at the time of going to press no authentic information was obtainable. Though Marmot Metals is closed for the winter months the stock remained very steady. This is caused by the fact that some exceptional discoveries were made just before snow came.
