She will ‘have the finest railroad con-| ‘nection in America with east- | ‘ern Canada and the United} States. She will rank first in Oriental trade and apart from her advantageous posi- tion as the outlet and inlet for a tremendous foreign ‘trade, the fishing industry | ‘alone secures her a splendid | future. ‘Victoria has now got into the swing of commercialism and combined with her re- nowned residential qualifica- tions will assuredly double her population during the next few years. | ‘Vietoria real estate has ‘made some large fortunes during the past couple of years and with the new spir- ‘it which seems to have taken hold of her citizens, her pro- gress from now on will be extremely rapid. ‘Victoria should with her great natural charms and ‘boulevarding which is now ‘going on, be one of the most |beautiful cities imaginable a ‘few years from now. ‘‘And speaking of beauty and charm our own Prince Rupert will have a_ pict- uresque delight enjoyed by no other city on the Pacific coast. A few years hence with crude conditions elimi- nated so that tourists may have all those endless facil- ities of comfort which every- body now seems to demand, the early climatic reputation of Rupert will have been for- gotten and one of the scenic delights of the Pacific coast will be the mountain drive to the top of the hill back of Rupert from where scores of steamers will be seen plying the waters of the Pacific to and from our city.
