Tlhe tâ€"uth is that there is plenty of rcom on the river for all. There is no valid excuse for the blocking of the river. With proper booms, proâ€" perly looked after, the river would be blocked soâ€"seldom that there would be no complaint of any moment. It is high time, however, that one and all realized the fact that the river is a public waterway and must be kept open according to law. ** What about other industries of this country 2*" Are the settlers, the prosâ€" pectors and »the business interests to liave no rights on the river? â€" If the river is to be reserved fortthe exelu sive use of the logâ€"rollers, why not eéxâ€" clude all traffic from the highways, excep: the buses and the big trucks? There are two main excuses made for the blocking of the river. First, it is argued. that nothing should, be said about the matter for fear that industry may suffer. _ Some people will pathetically insist that the hogâ€" ging of the river is absolutely necesâ€" sary to the lifé of the lumber busiâ€" ness. ©*Oh please don‘t injure inâ€" dustry!‘‘ they plead. Admittintk the importance of the lumbering indusâ€" try, it may be well asked‘ in reply, Serious loss ‘and inconvenience have been caused to settlers and others through the blocking of the river. Last year there was the same diffiâ€" eulty, and actign was promised by the Department of Public Works at Otâ€" tawa. HOW THE PEOPLE CAN HELP ° TO KEEP THE RIVER OPEN, Member of the Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association. Office 26 LASKA is an Indian word meanthg "The Great Country,"‘ an interâ€" pretation so adequately descripâ€" tive of its charms that it receives the unanimous approval of all tourists who visit Alaska though they may substitute an accentuated ""Some* for Great." The oil â€"burning steamships of the Canadian National Railways plying up and down the Inside Passage off the British Columbia coast have brought Alaska very close to Vancouver and Prince Rupert and therefore within the means and time of the army of tourists and holiday makers who visit the Pacific slope of Canada in the sumâ€" mer time. It is the new playground of the Pacifc. This is the sixtyâ€"first birthday of His Majesty George V.

He will be associated with Mr. J. Gibâ€" bons, who is Superintendent for the Industrial Branch of The London Life at Timmins, Once Alaska was identified with the gold seeker. Today it is as closely linked with tourist traffic, for men have found that there is more sheer gold in one Alaskan sunset tham ever came out of its rockâ€"bound mines. It is a land of strange contradictions and of neverâ€" ending surprises. Flowers bloom at the heel of glaciers as large as some European princixlities. The primitive totem pole of the Indian stands next door to a buil:i:g'wbich is a monument to modern itecture. The pack trail of yesterday is the motor road of Ir. R. J.

It is that of the Raven, the creator of man and the hat which surmounts the totem is that which the Raven One thing is sure,â€"that the Mattaâ€" gami river being a n@vigable stream and a very necessary public waterway should be kept open for traffic all the time. The second â€"exeuse for the blockâ€" ing of the river is tliat it is never really blocked, or very seldom... This excuse will make people who use the river either laugh or swear, according to disposition. Nevertheless, the Deâ€" partment of Public Works at Ottawa seems to place some credence in this exeuse. . Last year the Department of Public Works gave assurance that the river would be kept open, but. when attention was called to the fact that the river was not being kept open, the Department‘s. reply was to the effect that the river was not being blocked. The answer to this sort of excuse is simply persistent and emphatic â€"reciâ€" tal of the. facts. . Every man who finds the river blocked or traffic interâ€" fered with should notify the Departâ€" ment of Publiec Works to this effect, If the publicâ€"will do this, after a short while the Department will: be able to see that the river is actually blocked. _ A few. dozen complaints will impress the Department with the facts.
