Telkwa Transfer Hoops & Mapleton National Parks - Before proceeding too rapidly or too far with the National Park idea in this district it would be well for those particularly inter- ested in advancing the scheme, and the public generally, to find out just what they are asking for and then make sure that they wantit, ‘‘National Park’? looks well in print and sounds nice.

But the main object of the Cana dian National Parks Association is to set aside large tracts of land (thousands of acres in extent) and to maintain them in their natural state to the detriment of the commercial development of that district. Note the following resolution unanimously passed at a recent meeting of the associa- tion: “That this meeting of the Can- adian National Parks Association strongly urges upon the, Domin- jon government that all matters concerning the alienation of na- tural resources within the nation- al parks be laid before parlia- ment so that the people of Cana- with many thousands of acres for playgrounds, and where the tim- ber will not be interfered with, nor water powers: held- undevel- oped. Our only object is to see that the park is properly located, and to point- out to local peaple some of the things they. must guard against. The coal companiés in the south are kicking because oil and elec- tricity are crowding them off the market—even after the provin- cial government bonused the coal men by imposing a8 cents per gallon tax on gasoline and oil. If the coal men would reduce the price of their product thev might ( _ . MADE-T0- MEASURE TRUS 5 ES SECURING HERNIA | Entrust your case to us.

The gov- ernment in the past has thrown away too much money on such local enterprises with the result that taxes are high and there is, no money for legitimate govern- ment undertakings. : . The whole Dominion is calling for retrenchment on the part of governments and yet Vancouver goes to Ottawa for $18,000,000 of the people’s money for Vancou- da may be heard through their representatives, and that no ac- tion whatever be taken by Order- in-Council.’’ Then refer to the constitution of the association under the head of “‘Objects’’: ‘'The preservation of National Parks of Canada in their entirety Hay and Oats ALWAYS ON HAND LARGE or SMALL QUANTITIES ——— BOYER & CARR City Transfer Co.
