Dry-Goods, STRETCH OF KITIMAT VALLEY OPENED FOR PRE-EMPTION (Continued from page ‘4) ive; waterfront tracts were pur- chased in 1898, Canadian North- ern Railway officials and others being among the purchasers, Mr, Louis Coste, the well known har- bor engineer, went to make a re- port on harbor possibilities; Lord Dundonald, then in command of the Canadian military service, made an examination of the de- fensive possibilities, and = Dr. Montizambert, superintendent of quarantines, selected a site for a quarantine station in Clio Bay, in the event of a terminal port being created. Whether harbor works, defences or. quarantines will at any time be required, none can say. Kitimat Arm is a spa- cious inlettwo miles and a half wide, with steep-to sides and tide lands which dry for over a mile at the head of the arm. There is a wide flat, part of which is cov- ered by high tides, stretching across the mouth of the valley. The main Kitimat Valley is from four to five miles wide in the reserve, and the greater pro- portion consists of land available for agriculture when the timber is removed, The soil in the val- ley is alluvial. Generally it is a light, sandy loam. On the alder bottoms a\ great deal of black loam in evidence, Farther back frorm the river the soil is usually of a peaty nature. The sub-soil is gravel, both at the river and on the benches and ridges. The escarpments on the banks of the rivers and sloughs show the surface to be from eighteen inches to four feet deep, overlying a stratum of coarse gravel. The valley has a southerly as- pect, sloping down to tidewater with a fall of approximately ten feet to the mile. It is practic- ally all one valley from the Kiti- mat Arm to the Skeena River, for the divide both low and nar- row. If it were cleared and un- der cultivation it would not be un- like that of the Chilliwack Val- ley. 1s is FALL AND WINTER SUITINGS We have been able to secure the latest patterns di- rect from the mills in England adapted for this country.
