The Omineca Miner has the largest bona fide circulation of % any newspaper in the Northern Interior of British Columbia. The proposal of Sir Richard McBride, that the federal and pro- vineial governments should co-operate with the United States authorities in building a railway through to Yukon and Alaska, apparently finds favor with the Washington authorities. On Monday a joint resolution requesting President Wilson to open negotiations for the establishment of such a railway was presented in congress, and there is little doubt the project will receive general support on the other side of the line. In British Columbia the proposal to build a line of railway north through the province, to tap the rich territory of Northern. British Columbia, Yukon and Alaska, will meet with usanimous approval. Whatever route is adop'ed, the northern railway will open up a country rich in mineral and other resources, It is possible that the G. T. P. and P. G. E, will form part of the new road, with an extension north from Hazelton to Yukon and Alaska. Such aJine would serve the Groundhog coal field and a vast mining district. What its construction would mean to the prosperity of Hazelton and this district would be hard to over-estimate. It will be well for the people of Omineca district to do what they can to assure the construction of the line, . Naturalization Law W.
