RUP ERT S ACTIVITIES INDICATE PROGRESS I a Rupert's member of the Legislature w as unable Points to Factors Which Ensure City's Progress Power Development One of M ost Important In view of accomplishments that had been achieved of late and of developments which he predicted were about to ensue, people of Prince Rupert had little reason to feel anything but prosperous and well content, Col. S. P. McMordie ' D.S.O., manager of the Capitol Theatre, said in a recent address. Col. McMordie enumerated, as important accomplishments which would redound to the great benefit of the city, the improvement of local steamship services, the obtaining of a boat to ply to industrial points in the immediate vicinity of the city, and the power development. He was satisfied the C. N. hotel which had been promised, would materialize. rrv"," seemed to be little doubt that the T construction of a Peace River railway outlet would commence soon and that that outlet would come to Prince Rupert. It was simply a matter of completing financial arrangement until the Canadian Pacific Railway would have a northern coast terminus in Prince Rupert. A trans-Pacific steamship line, the speaker thought, would be here be fore the most of people expected.
