Peace River, Claims Murray

| The visit of Donald Gordon, President of Canadian National Nailw YS, to the Peace River Couutry, may presage ely new development in northern rail transportation. In the recent Federai elections in Cariboo, the charge was openly made by George Murray, government candidate, that Alberta politicians were seeking to frustrate building of a Pacific Coast outlet. The matter became subject of a free- for-all in Dawson Creek, when 38 Alberta social credit mem- bers made a pre-election vis. t to the B.C. Block.

“Nature ordains that our trading| avea is on the Pacific. We need the Peace-Pacific Rail Outlet and with 4 friendly government at Ottawa, it should not be too long in becoming a reality.” 2

“If Donald Gordon gives the go- ahead signal on the Peace-Pacific rail ontlet, the Cariboo country will enter into its own: Williams Lake could have daily trains north and south to Dawson Creek, Fort St. John and Grande Prairie,” Mr. Murray said,

“with freight trains moving day and night north and south.

“Now that the Liberal Government

is back in power, the fight against ‘monopoly of railway service to the Peace River country will go on”,Mr. Murray said. “Donald Gordon,whose company Owns a half interest in . Railways, will study at first hand the evils of the present Peace Rivey rail- way situation.

Reviewing the results of the Fed- eral election, in a special statement to The Tribune, Mr. Murray said: “Alberta political forces made a direct effort to control the election in Car- iboo. Being separated from Alberta by the imaginary line of the 120th par-

“What we are really seeing here in Northeastern British Columbia is a battle to wrest the Peace River Block away from British Columbia and tie it in forever with Alberta. The same battle goes on in the Yu- kon. The Rocky Mountains which divide the Cariboo Electors in equal parts would be the western boundary of British Columbia north of 52:30 if the Alberta political putsch suc- ceeds.”

Concluding his statement, Mr. Murvay said: “Friendly rivalry as between the Provinces should be encouraged. But this European- type campaign to force British Col- umbia into the Alberta political orbit is not good. So far it sets neighbour against neighbour; circul- ates false and malicious political
