CHARI.ES 1VOODIVARD ATrACKS GoVT'S. I'. Ci. E. I'OLICY At a smoker given by the North Vancouver Board of Trade last night in the Palace Hotel. North Vancouver. Charles IVood&vard, M.L.A.. made a sen- sational attack on the present government, condemning its P. G. E. policy and making several disclosures regarding the ap- pointment of the road's present directorate. "The government of British Columbia," sai&l lhlr. 1Voodward, "has been neglectful of its duty, despite the fact that the people have been willing to see the P. G. E. completed. The govern- ment has squandered money on the P. G. E. and piled up a debt of more than $30,000,000 in 11 years. "Isn't that a serious state ofaffairs?" he asked. "Millions have been spent on immigration the settlers have not been taken care of and so millions have been lvasted. "The men at the head of our government today are not men of vision--they have neither the energy nor knowledge to care properly for our country. "For instance, at the last elec- tion the government promised to build the road or to offer a land grant to attract capital to it. The grant was voted. Worth $6 per acre or more, 17,000,000 acres were offered. It was proposed to give away $ 100 000 000 "1Ve should build the P.G.E., keep the land and speculate with it ourselves. On the question of the land grant I voted against the government even though I was supposed to be one of its supporters an&1 am a Liberal. "Then when the government got panicky or crazy--I don' know which--it hid behind the reports of civil engineers. Not independent engineers, but one from the C.P.R. and another from the C.N.R. Can you imag- ine such a thing? No big busi- ness house would do such a fool- ish thing. IVould the Bank of Montreal ask for a report from the Royal Bank officials? Alberta Contract "When we view the dilatori- ness of our government, compar- ed with the Alberta government, the contrast is striking. One is neglecting its railway--the other is making the most of its rail- way, the E. D. & B. C., which I hope will be acquired by the C.N.R., and not by the Canadian Pacific," he said. Describing his solution for the P.G.E. problem as he gave it at the meeting of the legislature, Mr. 1Voodward said: okVe should keep the road ourselves, set a- side 10,000,000 acres, use the revenue to pay the road's &lebt, and name two outstanding busi- ness men to run the road, the four men to be independent pol- itically and under the chairman- ship of a manager of the road, all to be subservient not Lo tho cabinet but to the Legislature, which would act on the commis- sion'0 recommendations and re- ports by vote."

SIAY TAKE OVER "PEACE" LINE The latest development in the railway situation in Northern Alberta appears to be a joint of- fer by Sir Henry Thornton, on behalf of the Canadian National, and President E. LV. Beatty of the Canadian Pacific for the pur- chase and control of the E. D. & B. C. and Alberta Great IVater- ways railways. It is learned upon good author- ity that the proposal of the two lines would be to construct ap- proximately 50 miles of branch lines this year, but no attempt would be made to commence con- struction on a coast outlet. IVhtle neither president will commit himself on the subject, it is open- ly argued that there is no neces- sity for the construction of a coast outlet at present. The extra returns which the two principal railways get for hauling grain east instead of west apparently will continue to play a part in the construction of a coast outlet. Great interest is shown in Ot- tawa however, in the prospect of British Columbia extending the Pacific Great Eastern rail- way north from Prince George to tap the Peace River country, thus securing for the provincial road the immense revenue to bc derived from hauling Peace Riv- er grain to the coast and at the same time ensuring a rapidly in- creasing volume of business for Vancouver.

Read it aloud and you may perhaps gather what he meant. Our curiosity yeas aroused rec- ently by observing a man who uas walking ahead stretching out his arms whenever he took a crossing or turned down a street. We ventured to stop him and inquired why he did this. The man made no secret of it."It's all I have left of my mot- or car," he replied. BENSON'S CORN STARCH .... 2 ror 2vc SERV-US FLOOR WAX. Is ou.
