These represented various branches of the agricultural industry, and were highly enthusiastic over the possibilities of Central British Columba. I am sure this conven-ton will mean a great deal to this part of the province and will do much towards directing attention to the almost unlimited acreage here awaiting development."
Asked regarding the progress of construction on the Pacific Great Eastern Railway, Mr. Barrow said work was being pushed as rapidly as possible from the south, and every effort was being made to complete the line to Soda Creek as soon as possible.
Mr. Barrow stated that Director Munro had practically completed the work of appraising ihe lands in the new settlement area southeast V>f Prince George, and a; soon as these lands had been legally advertised proceedings would be commenced covering the acquisition of title, so that the lands might be available for soldier settlement. This area ia over

BOARD OF TitADE
Members of the council . of the j Board' of Trade yesterday afternoon met Mr. Barrow in an informal meet-Ing at the city hall. Mr. H. G. Perry, president of the Board, in a short address paid a tribute to the minister of agriculture, stating that the people of this district were better acquainted with Mr. Barrow than with all other members of the government combined. Mr. Perry and Mayor Carney brtought to the minister's at-i tention several matters of local im-1 portance that deserved consideration i by the provincial government.
In a short but interesting address { Mr. Barrow voiced his great faith in this section of the province and out-: lined the government's intention re-; garding the development of its agricultural resources, '"fells district is eminently adapted for mixed farming and I look forward confidently to 1 the time when Central B. C, will sup-: ply the need being felt throughout I the province for home-grown pro-| duce." he said.
The report circulated In some quarters that any other route but that via Prince George was contem-i iilai�il by the government for the i P.O.K. railway was ridiculed by the minister "Not that representations I have nor been made by interested : parties for such a change," he added. The desire expressed by the Board that work on railway construction southward from this city be commenced this year would be strongly put before the' government immediately upon his return to Victoria, he stated.
A vote of thanks to Mr. Barrow for his interesting address was unanimously endorsed by the assembly
Everything Ready For Celebration
Members of the different committees in charge of the varied branches of sport and entertainment for the big Dominion Day celebration here next Tuesday and Wednesday say that practically everything is in readiness for the opening of the two days' sports. The different committees have worked hard ana unceasingly to ensure the success of the celebration and have received the assistance of everyone called upon.
Reports from outlying towns and settlements indicate that there will be a large attendance of visitors. The noble red man, too, promises to be out in force with his numerous family, doge and cayuses.
If the weather man will furnish a continuance of the excellent brand of sunshine now on tap, the Prince George celebration of 1919 promises to eclipse any previous events of the kind ever pulled off in this neck of the woods�and that is going some.
