His policy\nhas been always, \"Write about\nthe brightest and best side of\nlife,\" and one of the best features of the Prospector has been\nthat it has refused to be the cockpit for the fighting out of personal feud?.\nMr. Ludwig is no stranger to\nlife on the prairies, and later his\nresidence here in the mountains\nwill be reckoned among the\npleasantest of his experiences.\nHe leaves the district with the\nheartiest good wishes of his numerous friends, and they are confident that his varied gifts will\nenable him to become one more\nworthy Lillooet representative as\na \"Soldier of the King.\"-Com.\nGoes to Lillooet\nMr. W.

Morrison, Editor and Manager\nMARCH 24. 1916.\nOUR BOW.\nAs the Prospector appears\ntoday under a new manager,\nour readers will no doubt expect a brief outline of our\npolicy. If political questions\nshould arise which in our\njudgment would affect seriously the interests we have\ncome to serve, then we should\nbe recreant to the trust reposed in us if we remained\nsilent. Our aim, however,\nshall be not so much the success of a political party as\nthe establishment of good\ngovernment. The interests\nof the Province in general\nand of the Lillooet District inl\nparticular shall always command the first place* in our\nattention.\nThe older Provinces of Canada have long ago built their\nhouse and now they enjoy\nlife under settled conditions.\nNot so with us. We are\nyoung, scarcely three-fourths\nof a century old. Our bouse\nis \"in the making\" and until\nit is finished we must work\nwith our coats off.\nOur great natural resources\nare becoming known to the\noutside world and B.C. is being recognized by capital as\na safe place for profitable investment. The ball is now\nin motion and it is for the\npeople of British Columbia\nthemselves to speed it forward with ever increasing\nvelocity. Wild cat speculations which may enrich a few\ngenerally result in impairing\nthe reputation of the Province, and a.discredited reputation is as a disastrous to a\ncornmunity as to an individual. Let our motto be:\n\"Truth and Justice,\" and as\nin the case of Solomon, riches and honour will follow.\nOur varied and extensive\nmineral deposits, our vast\nareas of fruit, timber and\nagricultural lands, our inexhaustible fisheries, our\nlimitless witter power, our\nmagnificent climate and our\ncommanding geographical\nposition for tbe trade of the\nPacific Ocean are each and\nall magnets of sufficient force\nto irsiw eapital from the four\ncorners of the earth. We\nhave the goods ; all we need\nto do is to exhibit them in\ntheir true colours. In this effort the Prospector will join\nwifch all its energy.\nWe are on the threshold of\ngreat events. In the upbuilding of the Province the\nLillooef District is certainly\ndestined to play an important\npart. Railway and water\nstretches will give us new\nopportunities for development, but these opportunities will call for much acti\nvity, in which we should all\npull together as one man.\nBrief correspondence on those\nvital questions will always\nfind a place in our columns.\nWe say \"brief,\" as the\nProspector is yet an unpretentious paper, but it is here\nto grow with the country;\nwhen more space will be\navailable.\nLILLOOET DISTRICT.\nThose who have visited\nthe Lillooet district, now\nbrought into close touch with\nthe Coast cities by the Pacific Great Eastern Railway,\nspeak in enthusiastic terms\nof the fruit production of\nthat region and its agricultural possibilities. The fertile soil of the valleys, the\ndry climate and the success\nachieved so far in fruit culture, promise much for the\nfuture. Other agricultural\nproduction is also promising.\nThe mineral resources of the\nregion are awaiting development and much is expected\nin the way of mining activity\nin the immediate future. The\nrailway, which has been built\nas the result of Provincial\ngovernment assistance, is responsible for the recent growth of settlement and a new\nattention to production in\nLillooet district-New Westminster Columbian.\n.j.-\u00C2\u00BB_;.n..;..\u00C2\u00AB .;.>.;. i\u00C2\u00BB^i\u00C2\u00AB\u00C2\u00ABfi\u00C2\u00BB.;..\u00C2\u00BB.^..\u00C2\u00AB..;i.\u00C2\u00BB.i;rl,{.\u00C2\u00BB.;.n ,;. \u00E2\u0080\u0094^..\u00C2\u00AB.,;,.... .\u00E2\u0080\u009E<\u00E2\u0080\u009E,.\u00E2\u0099\u00A6,\u00E2\u0080\u009E \u00E2\u0096\u00A0;,,.,,;,,\u00C2\u00AB.;.,\u00C2\u00BB..;..\u00C2\u00AB.;..\u00C2\u00BB.\u00E2\u0096\u00A0;.,\u00C2\u00AB,.;.,\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 \u00E2\u0096\u00A0;.\nThe Satisfaction of Owing a\nSAMUEL GIBBS\nNOTARY PUBLIC\nLands, Mines, Insurance and Collections'\nMining business in all branches\na speeialty.

White\nrecently, speaking on the conditions affecting the education in\nmining and metallurgy, deplored\nthe iarge reduction in the number\nof stadents entering mining colleges. This was not dye to the\nwar, but the reason was that\nthey did not get the right material to train. He said that unless\nsomething was done the mining\nindustry would be saturated with\npeople not Canadians; that the\ninstitute should encourage students and treat them as cadets.\nSuggestions by the members included bonuses for research work,\nalteration of the mining courses\nto include more mechanical training and better conditions in the\nmining districts, as well as provision of mining schools for boys\nleaving high school before going\nto the university.\nDr. Adam Shortt, speaking on\nCanadian gold and war finance,\nsaid the Canadians spent vast\nsums on frivolous extravagance,\nbut if it desired to do so Canada\ncould accumulate capital faster\nthan any other country, and domestic loans could be raised over\nand over again with success.\nWiLh.the increase in the value of\ncopper, nickel, wheat and other\narticles needed by Britain and\nthe European Allies, it was futile\nto concentrate on gold mining\nwhen labor expended on that\nmining could produce goods that\nwere demanded and obtain two\nor three times the value of gold\ngot by similar amount of energy.\nNew Dominion Inspector\nMr. W.

At\nthe present time British Columbia is a large exporter of potatoes\nto the United States, the eastern\nprovinces and Australia, all of\nwhich must pass rigid inspection.\nThere will be no new appointment to the office of provincial\nfruit inspector rendered vacant\nby the decease of the late Mr.\nCunningham until the appointment of a new minister of agriculture. It is rumored at Victoria that the work will probably be\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 divided* Mr. Lyne being given\nthe superintendence of all the\nfumigation and* inspection work\nboth in regard to fruit and nursery stock, while the field work\nand orchard inspection will pass\nto the departmental entomologists. \u00E2\u0096\u00A0 \"','\" :\"'; ' \" .' :.'*- ''\u00E2\u0080\u00A2'\"\nFirst among the appropriations\nasked for from the Provincial\nGovernment by the Conseratives\nof Hope at their annual meeting\nwas one for the beginning of the\nconstruction of a wagon road\nfrom Hope to 23-Mile Camp.\nC A.
