The House rocked with laughter as Bourassa recalled the sale Of titles by Governments for cam- paign fund financial considerations and as Mr, Church enlarged upon the philosophy, 'Vanity. of vani- ties, all is vanity." Charles H, Cahan, K.C,, Montreal Conserva- tive, the mover of the titles re turn resolution flushed florid and ducked his head among his papers as the Toronto members sareastic- ally speculated upon the interest in titles from the political riding of St. Lawrence-St. George.

Still a Problem ' Victoria, B.Gs,, Feb, 14,--For more than a decade the chief and most contentious issue to be dealt with by the British Columbia Legis lature has been the fate of the gov- ernment-owned Pacific Great East ern Railway, and when the House assembled recently for its first sit- ting under the administration of Premier 8, F, Tolmie, the Pacific Great Eastern still overshadowed all other matters on the program both in importance and fa the pos- sibilities of developing controversy, At the present time 350 miles of the railway is completed and in op- eration from Squamish, the south- ern end at the head of Howe Sound, 40 miles from Vancouver, to Ques- nel in the north, From Quesnel to Prince George, the objective of the line, a distance of 85 miles, the line has been graded and steel laid for twenty miles north of Quesnel and for eighteen miles south of Prince George, leaving a gap of some 40 miles to he completed, 3 In addition to this a section run- ning from North Vancouver to Whytecliff, a distance of 14 miles, was operated with gasoline-driven cars for a number of years, serving numerous summer resorts but with in recent months this section was abandoned owing to the heavy com- petition from motor vehicles, a pav- ed highway paralleling the line, The North-Vancouver-Whytecliff section was designed to connect Vancouver with Squamish, but con- struction was held up owing to the heavy cost, most of the gap between Whytecliff and Squamisi being through heavy rock, necessitating numerous tunnels, Connection be- tween Squamish and Vancouver is maintained by steamer and all pas- senger and freight traffic over the and out of Vancouver hy water, Greatest Asset Ever since the conception of the P.G.E. idea in the days before the war it has been a question of sur- passing interest in British Colum- bia's political and business eircles. The railway is at once the prov- ince"s greatest single liability and one of its greatest assets, depenu- ing on the viewpoint of the analyst, Built originally as a means of open- ing up the interior of the province lying between the three transcon- tinental roads, the Canadian Na- tional (Grand Trunk Pacific), in the north and the Canadian Na- tional (Capadian Northern), and Canadian Pacific in the south, the project as enunciated by the late Sir Richard McBride, then premier of British Columbia, was popularly regarded as British Columbia's short cut to lasting prosperity, The war, however, converted this short cut into a blind alley. Business depression followed and the proy- ince entered upon a protracted per- fod of financial stagnation and the private interests that had under. taken to build and operate the road found themselves in serious diffi- culties. It was not until then that the government of the day as well as the people of the province began to realize the enormous burden that had been left on their hands. The government was obliged to make several advances of money to the contractors, Foley, Welch and Stewart, the private company or- ganized to build and operate the road having stepped out of the pic- ture in much the same manner as Mackenzie and Mann retired from the Canadian Northern. When the government finally de- cided, owing to financial string- ency, to cease construction the country found itself the possessor of a railroad starting at no particu- lar point and ending in the wilder- ness. More than $50,000,000 had been spent on the road and the tax- payers were obliged to spend be- tween $2,000,000 and $2,500,000 a year to meet fixed charges, The Same Today Practically the identical situa- tion exists today. Although rev- enue js reported to be increasing, the road is a long way from paying for itself and it is generally be- lieved that it can never be an eco- nomic success until it is linked with Vancouver on the south and Prince George on the North. Pre- that these extensions will be made and legislation giving effect to this program is expected at the present session. There are many divergent views as to the wisest policy regarding the P.G.E. One js to abandon the down men--yes, and women too-- are getting discouraged--are giving up all hope of ever being to take on flesh and look y strong.

George and from there into the Peace River country, But Premier Tolmie and his predecessors have been reluctant to embark on such an ambitious project purely as a government enterprise. Opponents of the Peace River extension claim that the P.G.E. route is not the logical one for southbound traffic from that area, and that the nat- ural flow would be by the more di- rect route to Pacific tidewater at Prince Rupert or Stewart, It is estimated that it would cost. only 10 cents a bushel to move wheat from the Peace River country to '| Stewart; twice that much to Van- couver by way of the P.G.E., which is considerably longer haul. The last two Liberal administra- tions, headed successfully by the late John Oliver and Dr. J. D, Mac- Lean, made repeated efforts to ine terest ,the Canadian Pacific Rail- way and the Canadian National Railway or some other independent groups in the P.G.E,, and generous concessions in the form of land grants, but so far the negotiations have been unsatisfactory. If Pre- mier Tolmie has some definite plan for the disposal of the railway, he has so far not divulged it. Plans for the sale of the road or for its extension north or south or both by the government are the points on which débate will centre during thé present session of the legislature. The country through which the P.G.E, passes is rieh in minerals, timber, particularly pulpwood and in many sections dairying and mix- ed farming is being conducted on broad lines and with success, Power. is abundant and at the present time the British Columbia Power Com- pany is working on-a project at Bridge River, 135 miles north of Vancouver, and close to the rail- way line, which will produce 200,- 000 horsepower. when completed. Those who know they should re- duce will at least feel thankful they are not as skinny as the girls In the style advertisements--Detroit Free Press. KINGSTON SLAYER FOUND TO BE SANE Jury Finds Williams is Able to Give Reasonable Defence Kingston, Feb, 14.--Wilbert R. Williams, convicted once of the murder of his wife, was Tuesday at 8.65 found to be sane and ac- cordingly will go on trial a second time. The verdict was returned by the jury after two hours' deliberation, The question of the degree of in- sanity with which the accused is suffering was the main one before the court, for, while practically every medical expert agreed that the agcused is suffering from de- mentia praecox, there was divided opinion as to whether Williams was capable of comprehending what was going on in the court, and was able to put up a reasonable de- fence, ' Western Dairymen Main Objectors To Australian Pact Ottawa, Feb, 14.--A voluminous file of correspondence in connec- tion with the Australian trade treaty since 1925 was tabled by the Minister of Finance in the Com- mons.
