Greetings to Terrace Terrace BARBER SHOP E. HAUGLAND (Proprietor) Chairman of Board of Village Commissioners Quickening of Relations Between Communities To. Follow New Link (By Nigel. Sherwood) Now that the highway is finished there will be a quickening of life in the social and business relations between Prince Rupert and Terrace. People who in the past would have hesitated before embarking on a visit to Terrace which involved travelling by railway may take a run out to the interior town on the spur of the moment. A fine morning and not too much doing at the office may decide this ' sort of thing henceforth; whereas in the past such a 'trip always meant some amount of making of extra plans. A similar speeding up of Intercom munlcatlon will happen In business. It will he easier to run lip to Terrace to talk over Impend ing business, and easier to make a trip to "Prince Hupert. The distance between the two places Is but 92 miles and with an up-to-date road such as the highway Is It means only arount three hours driving. Scenery Is Wonderful , A few travellers who have al ready tried the new road all express their amazement at the wonderful scenery of mountain, forest and river. Although these scenes had .been viewed from the train on many previous oc casions, they had not been seen In their fullness. The section of country between the coast and Hazelton is equa4 In scenic grandeur and beauty to anything on the continent. Two miles before reaching Ter race can be seen a well appointed farm a little way off on the right hand side. This is the dalr farm operated by the Frank Brothers. Henry Frank, father of these young men, came to the district with his wife in tht year 1908, at the same time as the Rev. T. J. Marsh; Mr. and Mrs. Frank built the house and barn which became the nucleus of the present farm and set to work clearing the heavy growth of forest trees which covered all the land in those days. Jach Frank of Prince Rupert was the first white child born in the new settlement, called at that time Kltsumyallum. The steamboat used to put off passengers and freight nearby. The actual landing place and buildings have since been demolished by the river. Rev. Mr. Marsh had been ministering to the men on the work of building the railway and, when he came to Kltsumyallum. he set up the little church and school house. Both these build lngs are still standing In the landscape garden of Mr. and" Mrs. R. L. Macintosh. The Village of Terrace wai Incorporated In 1928 and the present population is estimated at about 1500. There are several restaurants, two hotels, half a dozen stores, two garages and last but not least four church communities. There Is a park and part of this has been lefi. wooded which adds much to the pleasantness of the local scene. The park. Is the gift of George Little, founder of Ter race, and well known opera tor of the local sawmill. Mr, Little came here In 1908 and IT IS NOT A DREAM ANYMORE . . It is at last a reality! With the. compleUon of the Skeeha Highway our section of the great North Country will at last be liberated, The development, of enormous wealth In mining, timber, farm homes and other natural resources are sure to develop. The gorgeous scenery Is. , superb of mountains and beautiful lakes, and our outstanding Lakelse Lake and Hotsprings are sure to attract thousands. Our company, the Skeena Motor Transport, sincerely hopes to serve you well In the years to come as It has the thirty-five thousand passengers in the past year. I am sure there is a feeling of gratitude In all our hearts to those who have made this road possible. Skeena Motor Transport G. L. Brookes, Manager BUS : TAXI : TRUCKING Terrace, B.C.

CALL AT Pioneer POOLROOM (Barney Colbachlnl, Prop.) WHILE AT TERRACE CIGARS TOBACCOS SOFT DRINKS are pleasing-looking residences in and about the Village. When the pioneers came to the district there were no roads; they came by boat, which used to navigate the Skeena as far as Hazelton. Now the district is well equipped with roads one can drive 25 miles' to the north, taking in Kitsumyallum Lake and to Lakelse Lake, which is four teen miles by road but which is only about eight in a direct line. Lakelse Lake is well known to Prince Rupert as a , favorite camping site and its fishing has the best of reputations. It Is of course no secret that a considerable military camp has been built In the vicinity of the Village. What used to be a golf course Is now covered with substantial buildings. Also that there Is an airport not far off, to which ah excellent road Is 'even now in course of completion. The airport is near Lakelse Lake. Visitors to the lake are always Interested in the hot springs, which are said to be the largest mineral hot springs In the North American continent. The biggest of these before long had set up his mll I springs is over 100 feet across which was the predecessor of the present mill which has a capacity of thirty or forty thousand feet. There are othef milt, nearby. C. L. M. Giggey has mills both in Terrace and ai Remo of about the same cap acity arid three mills a few miles away give to the town Its character as a centre of the fotest products Industry. Besides sawmills Terrace does considerable business In supplying ties and bridge timbers to the railway and there Is a large pole yard where thousands of cedar telegraph poles are loaded on freight cars. Terrace District Beautiful Scene But it -would be' a mistake td suppose that Terrace has the appearance of an industria. town. It hasnt. The prevailing impression is of small orchards and farms and here and there a well kept flower .garden; There and maintains a temperature of 180 degrees Fahrenheit. Leaving Terrace those who continue their Journey along the new highway will after a quarter mile, cross over the Skeena 'on the fine steel bridge. It is wdrth while' "td" pause on this bridge to' take' ln the fine panorama of rivet- and forested mountain that comes into view. If the day Is clear one can see from this point the seven peaks of Meansklnlsht, or "Seven Sisters," a fine range of sharp peaks some1 forty miles away to the east, Besides the' benefits that will accrue from road connections with Prince Rupert, there is the overwhelming fact that Terrace and the Pacific coast now Irl connection 'with the continental system ,1 roads and it Is reasonable, ,U expect visitors from both east and west to come along the nW' 'highway in increasing numbers as the years go by Smart's GARAGE TERRACE Cylinder Oil Battery Charging Free Air " ' Acetylene Welding , Cylinder Reboring and Grinding We will be glad to service you while at Terrace Spend a couple of pleasant hours at TERRACE THEATRE While In Terrace Terrace Theatre open every week night at 7:30.
