A good
number of the defeated candi-
dates are hoping those votes will
let them in. Some of those elec-
ted by a narrow margin hope to
have their lead increased. But
it does not seem reasonable to
expect the absent voters to vote
much different than those who
voted at home. There are, how-
ever, a number of constituencies
where just a few votes will turn
the tide. That will complicate
matters again and most likely
bring about demands for recounts
It looks like an unsatisfactory
government for any party that
may finally get control and an
equally unsatisfactory povern-
ment for the province. There is
a pretty good chance for another
general election in the not dis-
tant future. The Conservative
party is negotiating-for a leader
to succeed Hon. W. J. Bowser and
Liberal party is hanging onto
Hon. John Oliver until after the
absentee vote is counted and then
a definite announcement will be
made. The Provincial party is
sitting tight and smiling.

“We Are All More or Less
Dependent on It”

“T remember way back in the ‘Seven-
ties’ what a serious, situation was
created,. amounting almost to a panic,
when the news went round that the
sawmill was going to close down, We
were more or,less dependent on it."

the early days of ‘the historic Hastings
Mill, around which grew up the present
city"of Vancouver.

The most ‘effective ‘way to ‘yealize.
what the lumber industry means to
British Columbia is to visualize for a
moment: what ,would really. happen ‘if
the 86,000 concerns exclusively engaged
in handling forest products were com-
pelled by any industrial upheaval to

close down, . ;
Here are a few things that would
happen:

An investment of +f $200, 000,000 wonld
be imperilled,
An annual purchasing power of

‘$100,000, 000 would be destroyed.
Forty thousand workes would be
without jobs....- 20°" ‘
The Province would lose a third of

_ its revenue.
The railroads would lose a half of
