CALLS CONFERENCE
ON TRAFFIC ISSUE
Columbus Arranges Meeting
to Discuss Parking of De-
livery Wagons.

Traffic problems which affect the
delivery wagons Of business houses
will be discussed at a conference
called for o'clock Tuesday after
noon by Charles j. Columbus, secre-
tary of the Merchants and Manufac-
turers' Association.
Mr. Columbus said yesterday that
the chief subject to be taken up will be
the restriction which prevents a de-
livery truck from stopping abreast of
other vehicles parked at a curb to
make a delivery unless a man Is left
at the wheel while the delivery is
being made. The secretary pointed
out that in most cases the time con-
sumed in making delivery Is SO
short as to hardly warrant having a
second man at the wheel.
Traffic Director Eldridge, in dis
cussing this problem, pointed out
that the reason double parking
is necessary in making deliveries is
because other vehicles park overtime
at the curb and that strict observance
of the parking regulation by ma
chimes at the curb would reduce the
need for delivery trucks parking
abreast.
1t is probable that at the mer-
chants conference Tuesday there also
will be discussion Of the proposal
now under consideration to permit
two-hour parking at certain points
downtown, principally around Gov
ernment reservations.

 The Dease Lake section is not new one in placer mining, as number of claims have been work in the past, but it is fairly large district, and there is no disposition on the part of those familiar with it to discount the claims made by the discoverers of gold last September.

BIG RUSH INTO THE CASSIAR DISTRICT WHEN
 SNOW GOES

Inspector T. w. s. Parson, of the provincial police who has been spending several days in the city on police work, says the Dease Lake section will be the scene of a great gold rush as soon as the snow goes off in spring. Since the story of gold finds came out last fall possibilities of the creeks in the district have been gone over, and the cOncenSuS of opinion is that they will merit d seasons pros pecting.
 Gold Pan Creek, which is said to be in the center of the pew field, is about S2 mills from Telegraph Creek, and there is d very far wagon road runing from the trading center on the St.kIne to within a few miles of the f.ndS made last summer. It will be one of the most accessible I,eiGs opened up in the history of the province, and hundreds can be counted upon gong into the Den>r fake section who would rot give more difficult section a s'coud thought.
