Prince Rupert, Aug. 26.�Addressing a public meeting here on Wednesday night, Premier Oliver said he was convinced that there would be one liwe of railway connected tii link Prince (icorge with the E., D, & B. C. road, and another li*ie on the north -ide of Peace River, with a probable course through Omineca, Stewart Lake and Babirie, linking up witili   the  G. T. P. at   lla/.vltun.
The Premier attributed the stagnation which has kept Central B.C. and the coast back for years to the "damnabl,. policy of the Tory government at Ottawa " The same methods, he said, had characterized the reign of the McP.ride-Hinv.ser administration, and while at present the leader of the opposition was penitent, people desired something more than penitence. There must btt restitution.
Mr. Pattullo stated that at the forthcoming election he would "stand or fall" in his own boma riding, and would not seek election elsewhere, as had been  rumored.
From Prince Kupert Premier Oll^ ver and Mrv Pattullo will proceed to Alice Arm, Granby and Stewart They will then return through Prince Kupert and will hold meetings along
