During the present summer there will be very large additions to the per- manent population, both of the farms and the towns springing up along the line of the new railway. Nor should it be forgotten that along the railroad eastward from Prince Rupert there is a fabu- lously rich mineral area that awaits the completion of the rail- way for its development. The wealth of the mines will bring millions to Prince Rupert; the coal, silver, lead, gold and cop- per. ores will add immensely to the importance of this greal new seaport in Northern British Co- lumbia. Following the parallel of Van- couver and Prince Rupert, both happy in their surrounding, tributary agricultural country, another might be drawn between Prince Rupert and the new town of Smithers, in the centre of the Bulkley Valley, the next division point to the east. The builders of the Grand Trunk Pacific, who wisely chose Prince Rupert for its western terminus and seaport, were also happy ‘in their tion of Smithers. The wide in- terest already shown in the new town has not been equalled since the first announcement by the Grand Trunk Pacific of its deci- sion to make Prince Rupert its western terminus five years ago. By attracting people to it and settlers to the surrounding coun- try it will add to the importance of Prince Rupert, for each addi- tional inhabitant in all this trib- ulary area is a direct added asset to the latter city, whieh its outlet. The current year has not only witnessed the birth of Smithers, bul will mark its growth into a geod sized town, with many modern facilities. Many inquiries about Smithers have already been made from all parts of Canada, as well as many sections of the selec- is United. States. All this, too, without advertising by the sell- ing agents of the townsite, who do not expect to place it on the market until nearly fall. Those who have noted the re- markable advance in property values at Prince Rupert particu- larly and in other railroad town- well have adopted the belief that the big railroad com- pany which is crossing the con- tinent would not have named the new town in honor of the chair- man of the board of directors un- less there was a bright future for the young city. ‘The railroad company, in making it the next general freight and passenger di- vision point east of Prince Ru- pert, had complete reports on the great extent of fertile valley lands lying allt about it, of the tributary valleys running into the Bulkley and the great mountains of rich ores awaiting develop. ment. It was not by chanee or guess that the site for this town, born lucky, with a silver spoon in its mouth whose godfather is one of the highest officials of the Grand Trunk Pacific, was chosen, Having cone so much for the chief townsite in the whole Bulk- ley Valley, the railroad proposes siles as ——x—AK—K——— ee Fresh Halibut 3 lbs. for 25c Phone 123 New Potatoes 6 lbs. for 25c Spring Cabbage 5c per Ib.

Besides, additional outlays will be made for laying oul a freight terminal and general railway yards, There will be eight miles of sidings laid in the yards. Tenders will be asked at once for all this rail- road work and it wll be complet- ed as soon as practicable. Smithers now a tent city, but it is just at the stage when a week or a month works @ greal 18 transformation, The work of clearing the townsite is going forward actively, The railroad grade has been built through the new town and by August 4, if not earlier, trains will be running from Prince Rupert to Smithers, Advices from the engineering de- partment of the Grand Trunk Pa- cifle are that by August of next year the new transeontinental road will have been completed, with trains running clear through to the Pacific terminal, Prince Rupert. Then Smithers, like Prince Rupert, may be expected to forge ahead, —_—_- PRINCE GEORGE AGAIN WELL AHEAD OF TIME Steamer Comes Early With One Hundred and Seventy-four Passengers.
