SHE HAD SPEED "The stenographer we require," rari the ad, "must be fast, absolutely ac- curate, and must have human intelli- gence. If you are not a crackerjack, don't bother us." One Of the answerers wrote that she noted their requirements, and went on: "Your advertisement appeals to me strongly -- stronger than prepared mustard--as I have searched Europe, Airope, Irope, and Hoboken in quest of someone who could use my talents to advantage. When it comes to this chin-music proposition, I have never found man, woman, or dictaphone who could get first base on me, either fancy or catch-as-catch-can. I write short- hand so fast that I have to use a specially prepared pencil with a plati- num point and a water-cooling attach- ment, a note pad made of asbestos, ruled with sulphuric acid, and stitched with catgut.

TOLAIIE HINTS GOOD PROSI'ECTS OF SEI.LING P. G. E. In assuri»g a Vancouver Board of Trade delegatio» on Tuesday in Victoria, that the governmeiit would give serious consideration to its proposal thatthe Legislature visit the PeaceRiver at an early date, Premier Tolmie intimated that the whole Peace River railway situation was "not unfavorable at thepresent." "Our joint survey in co-opera- tion with the two transcontine»- tal railways is proceeding active- ly now, and while I am not at lib-ei.ty to reveal much now, verycheerful information is comingi» from time. to time," the Pre-mier said. "It is»of only these two rail- ways that are interested in thePeace River district, and in thePacific Great Eastern Railway.There are other interests whoare only waiting the completion Of the survey before making def-ii»te offers. Declaring that the government was eager to co-operate with theBoard of Trade in the solution of such problems as the trans- portation needs of the north, thePremier pointed out that Hon. William Atkinson, minister of Agriculture, accompanied by Dr. W. H. Gaddes, was on his wayto the Peace River district now. hlinister to Report on Peace River "The minister of agriculture," he stated, "will look over the whole situation there. He will bring back a report on agricul- tural conditions and Dr. Gaddes will look into the possibilities of placing settlers on the lands there. "We desire this information particularly to incorporate into a memorandum which we shall submit to Rt. Hon. J. H. Thomas lord privy seal in the British cab- inet, whom I recently met in the East. The memorandum will be designed to show Mr. Thomas and his colleagues the possibili- ties of this country. "I do not know whether we can make the trip to the Peace River this fall as you propose," the Premier added. "We are ex- tremely busy here every day, but I want you to be assured that we realize the great opportuni- ties and the great possibilities existing in that northern coun- try. I cannot say too much now in this regard, but I will say that conditions are not unfavorable «t the present time." The board's proposals in re- gard to the Peace River district were summarized in a memoran- dum read by W. C. Woodward, president, as follows: "It is exactly ten years ago since our board made its first visit to the Peace, on which oc- casion the honorable minister of finance accompanied us. "Those of us who took the trip in 1919 and again this year, were amazed at the rapid development that has taken place. Ten years ago the railroad was in a de- plorable condition. The settlers were pessimistic, and the future looked very doubtful. Notwith- standing this, the Vancouver party returned fully convinced Ihat some day the valley of the Peace would come into its own. "After ten years we have a- gain visited the country and find a» entirely different situation. Hopefulness and optimism are to be found in every section. Crop production has more than quadrupled. The farmer can ship his wheat and make a profit. Branch lines have been construc- ted. New settlements have sprung into existence, and the whole tone of the territory has changed.
