RUPERT

 

In a recent editorial in the Van-
couver Sun in connection with
J. W. Stewart's announcement
that G. T. P. steel will be con-
nected in April or May next, the
business men are urged to get
busy after the trade that will de-
velop in Northern British Colum-
bia. It is evident from the edi-
torial that in the opinion of some
people in Vancouver the trade of
the vast territory being opened
up by the G, T. P. naturally be-
longs to the lower coast city,
One would imagine they are under
the impression that the business
men of Prince Rupert are peace-
fully sleeping and are going to

them slip through their fingers.
Following is an extract from the
editorial:

“There is no reason why Van-
couver should not be the great
entrepot for the whole of the
vast territory which, through the
wise prescience of Sir Wilfrid
Laurier, is being oepned up in the
north of this province by the con-
struction of the Grand Trunk Pa-
cific. It will take a long time for
Prince Rupert to become the
