The Portland Canal district has one proven mine, the Premier. It also has many prospects which, on development, may prove equally as good. Grass root mines are few and far between. It takes many years of work and much capital to make a producing mine as a rule. The district received a setback years aco from which it is now recovering, and the time is now opportune for the development of many properties that may be Premiers in embryo. The prospects are here and systematic development-should bring satisfactory results. The main outstanding features to be considered by the people of the south are that the northland offers many opportunities for legitimate business ventures in the development of its dormant resources; and in the expansion of its coastal traffic consequent upon their utilization; and also the realization that in opening up the north they are securing for themselves a tributary territory whose Dotentisl resources have few er,uo!�� on this world's surface. OPEN UP WEALTH OF TEE NORTH (geologists equal to that ot Pennsylvania. Twenty railroad systems connect with the THE advancement of British Columbiaj Pennsylvania fields. The Groundhog fields still A iii j. i j. --i x-. .I remain untouched. as a whole has not kept pace with that of the southerly portion which, owing to various causes, has been able to advance rapidly; while the north, with its vast potential resources, has grown but slowly. The reasons for this state of affairs may be assigned to the belief of the people of the south that the north holds little for them personally, and that their advancement is to be accomplished by the development of their own environments. * These beliefs have served to build up the south and will continue to do so. But if the truth is realized in regard to the north, its development will become of paramount importance to the people of the south, who are already beginning io realize the limitization of their natural commercial area by land. The ideal location of the cities of Victoria and Vancouver have predestined them to commercial greatness; but if their growth is to be hastened it must be by the enlargement of their spheres of influence, and the north with its undeveloped wealth offers untold opportunities almost at their very doors. All great seaports have achieved magnitude by their seaborne commerce. The cities of the south so far have not progressed on their natural lines as they have on their other resources; but the development of the north offers them the opportunity, an opportunity which, if taken advantage of, must accelerate their advancement to a very great degree. The policy of the past of securing for the south the terminals of railways, built and projected, irrespective of the natural needs of the province, has not proven successful, nor will such a policy if furthered continued in, bring results as would be achieved by the utilization of the waterways of the province, and the building of short lines of railways into the interior. The whole northland is tributary to the cities of the south, but not by any means by direct lines of railways, but by ships plying along the sheltered coastline and connecting with railways tapping by the shortest routes the coal lands, oil lands, and base and precious mineral areas of the north. The development of the south is being British Columbia must become an export pro i , , ,, , .... ... , , vince.

If the opening up of the northland is accomplished on the lines suggested it would mean the building up of towns at points wherever natural routes into the interior were available. And the building up of these towns would not mean any lessening of the growth of the southern cities, but on the contrary would greatly STEWART UND COMPANY.

Roughly Vancouver is 800 miles from the same point in the Peace River country that is reiched in 400 miles from Stewart, which is the natural outlet for the whole northern and eastern interior. Nearly every Bettler in the Peace River district is talking of railway communication with the <*oust. 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 mind farming or ranching, ln addition there is a vast area of mineral and timber resources, the extent uf which is only beginning to be realized. Immense deposits of anthracite coal have been located and the president of the Peaee River Board of Trade is authority for the statement that this coal grades higher than Pennsylvania coal. Extensive exploration work is lining lurried on in connection with oil and already startling results have been oh tained. 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 under cultivation at present il 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 millicn bushels v/ere nro-.hic**il fmm 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, particu larly hogs. It 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 hu ten million aerel producing three hundred and fifty million bushels of grain, or roughly, ten million tons. three rounds.

Last Sunday evening, between the "hours of 9 o'clock and the cabaret," the News devil was out for a stroll, and while doing so, walked right onto a couple cooing and wooing as only lovers know how. He halted, and these "sweet words" were heard: "Your lips are like the leaves," he said, "With autumn roses tinted." "Some people autumn leaves preserve, By pressing them," she hinted. The meaning of this gentle hint, The lover did discern; He threw his arms around her neok, And glued his lips to her'n. After hearing and witnessing the above the devil hit the high places for home, and while passing the Stewart News company's store, in a fit of absentminded- ness, took a drink of water from the town pump.
