RAPID PROGRESS
IN DEVELOPMENT.
OF COMING CITY

Railway Company Will C o-
operate With Citizens -
In Making Smithers
A Big Town

HUNDREDS OF MEN
ALREADY EMPLOYED

Smithers is the first passenger
and freight divisional point east
of Prince Rupert on the Grand
Trunk Pacifie.,. It is located 226
miles from the Pacific terminus,
and is beautifully situated in the
fertile Bulkley Valley.

Smithers is surrounded by
spiendid areas of agricultural
land. The mining country trib-
utary to the town will produce
great wealth in silver, lead, cop-
per, and coal, making the estab-
lishment of a smelter necessary.

Smithers will have a railroad
payroll of importance. Hund-
reds of men will be employed in
the shops and yards. All train
crews will change here, and the
divisional officers, with their
staffs, will reside in the town.

Although but a few weeks old,
Smithers is already the busiest
town along the line of the Grand
Trunk Pacific in British Columbia,
with over three hundred men
engaged in erecting permanent
business buildings, ditching and
grading streets, laying sidewalks,
constructing sidetracks and other
improvements. Twenty - five
blocks in the business center of
the: town have been cleared,
ag well‘ag a number of the prin-
cipal .streeta,.. A site for a gov-
ernment: bridge over the Bulkley
river, connecting the rich agri-
cultural area on the east side of
the Bulkley with the town, has

gineers, and a road crew is en-
gaged in constructing a series of
highways which will give resi-
dents. in every part of the dis.
trict direst aeceas to the town,
Smithers will be the distribut-
ing point for one of the largest
and richest areas in the interior
of British Columbia. It is the
logical governmentaland business

| headquarters for Omineca dis-

trict. .

The railway company, which
has cleared and stumped a large
reservation for railroad purposes,
will construct eight miles of side-
track here, to accommodate the
immense traffic of Canada's
greatest continental road. In
providing divisional. facilities,
constructing shops, roundhouses,

station, ete., the company will
expend approximately $250,000,

-|giving ‘employment to a Jarge

number of men, who, with the

|erews engaged in the develop-

ment of the townsite, the build:
ing of stores_and residences, ahd
the operation of the railroad,
will give the town a payroll pop-
ulation of importance from the
very beginning, =": .
Progressive business men

, throughout the district are turn-

and many of them have already

stores in the course of erection,
