The submarine commission is
-in session in: Victoria. The ‘ob-
jeet is to discover why Sir’ Rich-
ard McBride nought two submar-

nes for the Dominion govern-
_ ment without that. government’s
consent; to ascertain what price
was really paid. for: them, and‘
who got themoney. Sir Richard
McBride,. some. weeks ago, .ex-

pressed the belief that the com-|.

mission would completely exhon-
orate him from even the shadow
of suspicion, and-that.he was do-
ing. his utmost.to hurry the hear-
ing ‘along. The. first. act of the
commission was, at the opening
session, to refuse the Liberals’
representative to take any part
in the enquiry, although. it was
the Liberals who caused the: en-
quity to be instituted. 7
‘Do they need any- roads. inthe
Bulkley. valley? Are there ‘any
farmers. in .the Bulkley valley
who have produce to bring to the
market? It. only needs a trip|'
through any part of it or all: of
that wonderfully fertile valley to
ascertain the truth, In the past
the provincial“ government. has
expended many, thousands of dol-
lars on road work in the Bulkley
valley, but they have bareiy made
an impression... The roads; they:
have built are’ of the same class
_as have been built in other. parts
‘of the north, viz., only passable
in fine dry weather in summer
and when the sleighing is ‘good

in’ ‘the winter—just’ ‘the two sea-|:

Sons. when the. farmers are either.
~ too busy on the land to team over.
the roads, or ‘else in the ‘winter
have very ‘little: ‘teaming to. ‘do.

- ment does, they were built where

and Bowser to get busy and make

out. But the question is natural-

ly asked,. What can. they. do?
Their money is gone, their credit

is busted, and their wonderful,

civil service is incapable, of cop-

ing with the situation. «

“Then the government wonders
why there is dissatisfaction with
their mode of doing things, or of
misdoing them... The country: is

getting settled ‘down to a business

basis, ‘andthe folly: of: the -BOv-
ernment’s policy becomes appar-
ent, and more apparent, yearly.
