The retail trade are beginning to i.clice the advantage derived in keeping quality by usingi pre-cooled ber- ii\"s. They stand up much better than those shipped L.C.L. Growers going to the expense of, pre-cboling should stamp in large letters at the end of the crate the word \"pre-cooled.\" This would distinguish between berries pre-cooled and ordinary stock. 'We have noticed considerable sawdust on the top of the berries in crates this year. At the peak,of the season when berries are ^ ripe and buyers are examining them the sawdust is often mistaken for the beginning of mould. In any case, sawdust on berries is objectionable.

C, agent-general for British Columbia' in London, strongly advocated'at-the Rotary Club luncheon on Thursday, the proposed scheme for the settlement of British soldiers and sailors in this province. It was a plan, said Mr. Wad,-, similiar to those of pre-Confedera- tion days by which Quebec was settled by- disbanded French troops, Nova Scotia by British soldiers,' and Ontario by the'United-Empire Loyalists. These settlement plans had all been eminently successful in opening up and developing trie agricultural and other resources of these Canadian provinces. In the proposed \"scheme the soldiers would be paid during the fir&t three years as they were at the} front. In that time they would be\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd j learning the farming business, and i they would be given 25 years in which to pay back to the government what they owed. Despite various skeptical ass ir- tions, Mr. Wade reaffirmed his belief in the great future of British Columbia as a prosperous agricultural province. Mr. F. J. R. Whitchelo attended the Liberal pic-nic at Chilliwack this week and reports it a very successful affair.

A. BATES\", Editor and Proprietor FRIDAY, AUGUST 4, 1922 thc In the daily' despatches we tice that .there is a vacancy on railway board and that Premier Oliver's name is mentioned for the position or chairman. Premier Oliver did good work apparently at Ottawa some weeks ago before the committee which investigated . into railway rates, and has since become very enthusiastic in regard to the matter oi railway rates to this* province lrom the east, and had many in the province irrespective of polities', who feel that Premier Oliver did all He could\" possibly to get a fair rare over the railways for this province. Recently publicly he announced he intended following up the matter and seeing' the grand finale brought out iii' favor of the business interests of British Columbia.in which also ht. has the backing of many .who feel that business demands better freight rates'to. the .coast terminal if tins province is to play its important'part in the development of Pacific Coast commerce, - As-premier Mr. Oliver has placed the matter pretty thoroughly before the p.eople of the east, this paper is of the opinion that as chairman of the railway board this province would fare well from the railway board were Mr. Oliver a member ol that board. There is \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd always this side ot the qupstion too that one may look at,: and that- is that being a farmer for many years\" of his life -.Chairman- John- Oliver of the Railway Board would not be afraid of 'taking the bull -by the horns' and' settling the matter right there and'then'irrespective of what the 'bull', thought of it. The bull might suffer but when u was all\" over he would have a chance1 to recuperate along new lines of busi-. ness. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd . ' ; \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd And then again, while the railway board would have gained a valued member there is no-question-about it but the Liberals of the province would\" be able, to. fill the job of premier to the satisfaction- of ' the other' members of the .party . in the province. His loss would undouot- edly be felt for some .time, but t.ie good work he has. carried on could most probably be undertaken by some-younger man. . The suggestion to have Mr. OW- ver\" on the., board is surely a \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdgood oner and there, are many who would like-to see the suggestion a reality.

We consider it cruelty to the readers of \"that-pa- .per that such a piece was ever penned';\"'as\"'there* is-nothing to warrant the: comparisons made. It is hard for even the most sober journals\" to overcome the weakness' for superlatives. \"Here is the old and reliable Toronto Globe stating that Mr. Bracken \"is only 39 years old and\" will be the youngest man ever to be provincial premier, with the exception of the late Sir Richard McBride.\" : The fact is ' that some-, thing like a score of provincial premiers in Canada have taken office at 39. or \"younger. Among these Ontario furnished one, who is not altogether unknown in other -provinces Edward 'Blake' was barely 38 when he\" formed .the.second.Ontario ministry oir the defeat of Sanfield Mcdonald. Mr. , Bracken is not even the youngest premier that Manitoba has known. Mr. Norquay was 37 when .he\" formed his ministry.- Besides Sir- Richard McBride at least two other premiers' of British Columbia,' Mr. Davie and Mr. Walkem took office at 39 or 'younger. Sn Joseph Chapleau became premier of Quebec at 38. The late Mr. Justice King was premier of New Brunswick at 33 \"and Mr. Blair at 39. Chief Justice Sir Louis Davies was pit- mier of his province when he was only 31. Two of his successors, the late Chief Justice Sullivan and the late Mr. Fred Peters were respectively 3G and 39. For forty years nop remier has taken office in Nova Scotia over the age of 37. That was the age of Sir John Thompson when he became premier. Mr. Pipes was 32, Mr. Fielding and Mr. Murray 2o. Mr. Walter Scott, the first premier of Saskatchewan, took office at 3S. We believe the list might be considerably extended.; These slight corrections are offered not for the purpose of making Mr. Bracken feel old and discouraged,-but partly in the Interests :of true history, and partly tp warn they .-premier against indiscretions unbecoming to his years.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Province. AH Eastern Canada was filled with the uproar of the prophets of gloom who foretold national disaster a? a result of building the Canadian Pacific Railway. About 1879 the anvil chorus was in full swing; \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Weste-js Ontario was an alleged wilderness;' the Prairies were unfit ' for human habitation; British Columbia was a sea of mountains; the rails of the Canadian Pacific would - be two streaks of rust leading nowhere; the thing to do was'to abandon.,the project and salvage anything possible from the wreck. , Fortunately the bellowings of the eastern Jeremiahs went unheeded., the Canadian Pacific was .pushed to completion; there were several years of anxiety; several emergency calls on the government; but the result iy the groat working and earning railway system which compares more than favorably with any transportation undertaking in the world.' Then the Ontario government\/commenced its Northern Ontario Railway. ' Here again was-cause for gr|.et and \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd desolation; the government money was being spent In a hopeless attempt to build a railway through -a. desert, according to the wailings of the gloom experts. .Now.that a great mineral country and extensive tim- 'ber undertakings have been-developed by the Northern On'.ario Railway, all parties in Ontario want th j rails pushed through to Hudson Bay in the confident belief that- great development and substantial commerce will result. Every colonization railway ever built in North America has been pronounced' a failure.- Vanderbilt pick- .ed up the New York Central lines for a song. Huntingdon gave- nothing for the Southern Pacific control. Har- riman got the Union Pacific oh his own terms. All the' other American railway systems had their depths oi despair. Then came population ' and development and prosperty. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd. One can duplicate our provincial e>\" perience with the \"Pacfic Great Eastern in-the history .of .any-'one.of the successful railway systems in North America today.- It is' no different, no better, noworse than -the uniform current of experiences with development-railways. . Just one thing is necessary to stait the Pacific Great Eastern on the way to prosperity,-and'that is through operation .into the city of North Vancouver. Over.fifty per cent, of the busness getting capacity of every railroad depends \"on -its ^ terminals. The natural terminal of the Pacific. Great Eastern .is on the north 'shore of Burrard Inlet, with its, ample-harbor frontage and the local traffic 'of North Vancouver city available for immediate business. Within one .year after Pacific \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd.Great Eastern' trains run through from North Vancouver to Prince George'all doubt'as'to'the usefulness of the railway will have vanished; there will be public confidence in the success of. the undertaking. This conclusion is based on a study of all tho development and colonization railways on the continent. No matter how scrawny an infant the railway was, once it was given adequate terminal locations and facilities success speedily followed. Bringing the Pacific Great Eastern into the North Vancouver, terminal will-bring it into earning capacity; into development power for the immense area, of country lying along its line, and into public confidence. Nothing else-will get the undertaking anywhere1' or work any remedy. The. mode\" of filling the gap to give through connection with North Vancouver is the one matter on which expert engineering is necessary. On the general success or failure of a railway system on this continent, no expert has been able to devise anything to take the place of the natural terminal.
