DAILY EDITION

LABOR OUTLOOK GOOD
FOR THIS SUMMER.

Good news can be found in
the statement of the general
manager of the Grand Trunk
Pacific, published in this issue,
that the building of the com-
pany’s great hotel at Prince
Rupert is to be started soon.
As this means the expenditure

of about two million dollars it
will necessarily give regular
employment for a large num-
ber of men until the fall of
next year, when the first
through train may be expected
to reach this city. In prepara-
tion for that event, too, there
will be the building of a per-
manent railway station and of
the great warehouses that a
great transcontinental and
trans-Pacific business will ne-
cessitate. The vast amount of
work to be accomplished by
the railway will therefore add
materially to the pay roll and
to our population. For this ad-
ditional population more homes
will have to be built, so there
is sure to be great activity in
the building trades from now
on. There is now and has al-
ways been a scarcity of dwell-
ings for men of moderate
means, and as this inadequacy
becomes more and more ap-
parent no doubt many of the
large outside capitalists who
have invested here will grasp
the opportunity of making their
properties pay good rentals.
All of which is the new busi-
ness in sight, and is in addition
to the great dry dock buildings,
the construction of the city’s
hydro-electric plant, the $100,-
000 ridge to Section Two, the
boulevard around Kaien Island
and many city improvements
that have yet to be: projected
but will doubtless come with a
rush now. For it must be re-
membered. that not only the
railway but the city itself has
to prepare for the great rush
of business the transconti-
nental railway will immediately
produce. Also it should be the
proud aim and ambition of our
citizens to make of Prince Ru-
pert the city beautiful planned
by the celebrated landscape ex-
pert who platted it, so that a
deep impression may be made

 

eae Monday, April 7, 1913

upon the thousands of visitors
the first train will bring. This
would give to the city a world-
wide advertisement of inestim-

able value.

With the increase of the
forces employed by the city
there will also be many men

required in the erection of in-
dustrial plants. We have al-

ready one of the largest cold
storage plants in the world,
two similar ones are projected
for this summer and the fish-
ing industry, which has already
made so promising a start,
bound to be rapidly expanded
to the limit. In quick succes-
sion as soon as they start
there will be furniture and
other wood works, cotton and
woollen mills, silk factories
and so on, manufacturers be-
ing quick to grasp the advan-
tages and saving to be secured
by a site which commands
both the prairie and Orienta)
markets.

In this connection Alderman
Leek made an excellent sug-
gestion at the special meeting
of the city council held on Sat-
urday afternoon. He pointed
out that the city should be able
to offer manufacturers induce-
ments to come here, and that
one of the best of such induce-
ments was the offer of cheap
power. There is a contest now
on between the city and the
Prince Rupert Hydro-Electric
Company, the latter offering
what it declares to be unusually
cheap rates for the supply of
power and the former fighting
to obtain still better terms for
the city. Within the next two
months this matter will be
satisfactorily settled and upon
its settlement applications for
factory sites in and around the
city will rapidly follow as a
natural consequence.

This is but a shadowy idea
of the great labor and business
activity soon to start up, to
which everyone who* reads it
may have something to add
from personal knowledge or by
way of suggestion, but there is
sufficient substance in the
shadow for us all to heartily
chant the old ditty: “There's
a good time coming, boys,”
with the cheerful feeling that
we have not long to wait for it.
