on

of

and
therefore
vitally
concerned
with
the
situation
In
all
Its
aspects,
I
feel
I
should
say
something
about
the
significance
of
this
publication.
In
the
past
a
great
deal
has
been
spoken,
written
and
daydreamed
about
the
potentialities
of
British
Columbia's
huge,
mysterious
northland
and
the
Yukon
Territory
on
which
it
borders.
Something,
too,
has
been
done
about
It
most
notably
In
recent
years.
What
Is
it,
then,
that
gives
special
significance
to
this
northern
line
of
Canadian
National
Railways.
The
plan,
if
put
Into
action,
could
mean
not
only
an
elaborate
defense
measure,
but
a
revolutionary
development
for
BC.'s
untapped
northland,
rich
In
minerals,
timber
and
agricultural
lands.
Such
a
railroad
has
been
a
dream
of
Industrialists
since
1910
when
an
Alaska-B.C.
railroad
route
was
actually
licensed.
Several
different
routes
have
been
surveyed
since
then,
but
It
was
not
until
early
in
1953
that
possibility
of.an
Alaska-B.C.
link
was
seriously
explored.
And
a
lot
of
the
groundwork
of
bright
promise
that
used
to
leaa
men
we&u
It
is
an
area
that
invites
more
knowing
as
knowledge
is
gained.
Its
obvious
worth,
which
is
tremendous,
is
exceeded
by
the
secrets
we
believe
it
still
holds.
To
locate
it
specifically,
the
area
is
bounded
on
the
west
by
the
Queen
Charlotte
Islands
and
on
the
east
bv
the
Cariboo
country
of
Quesnel
and
Prince
George.
Northward
it
fans
out
through
the
Peace
River
country
and
enters
the
Yukon
Territory
where,
if
a
boundary
line
is
needed
to
give
it
shape,
the
Alaska
Highway
passing
through
Whitehorse
will
do.
There
is
no
pretence
here
that
this
is
all
of
Canada's
northland
worth
talking
about.
But
this
particular
part
is
not
readily
lumped
with
the
rest
and
in
many
respects
outclasses
it.
For
variety
and
size
of
undertakings,
either
contemplated
or
now
under
way,
it
certainly
has
no
equal
in
any
other
section
of
northern
Canada.
The
world
has
heard
of
the

created

section

in

in

there
are
great

an

an

which
is

is
made

Its
forest
industry
has
taken
on
immense
size,
and
its
agriculture
is
also
growing
in
importance.
As
if
the
