In 1861, Sir James Douglas, seek- ing finaneial support for the build- ing of the road, wrote to the Duke of Newcastle, then Secretary of State for the Colonies: “The infor- mation which I have thus laid be- fore your Grace leaves no room for doubt as to the vast auriferous wealth and extraordinary product- ive capacity of British Columbia; and with scarcely less probability it may be assumed as a natural consequence resulting from the marvellous discoveries of the Car- iboo that there will be a rush thith- er, and an enormous increase of population. . . .” Sir James was only slightly off the mark, Gold did spur the north- ward development, but the for- ests were our real wealth. There was a rush of people to the gold- fields, but it was only the first leg of a longer journey. Men, pack- animals, freight wagons, stage coaches, and, briefly, even camels and steam traction engines with trailers, travelled the Cariboo route. Steamers plied the northern rivers, ‘ A modern-day look ahead ap- pears in the recently published an- nual report of the Pacifie Great Eastern Railway whose future is interwoven with northern British ‘Columbia. “Never in the 54-year history of the Pacific Great Eastern Railway has its future held such rich pro- mise,” says J. 8. Broadbent, PGE general manager, in the report, “Seven new pulp and paper mills are planned adjoining its main line between Squamish and Chet- wynd, At Prince George, for exam- ple, two pulp mills will commence production in mid-1966, and con- struction is underway ona third mill with production planned for 1968. Two more mills, one at Mor- fee Lake and one at Quesnel, are in the final planning stages and should be under constructlon by the end of this year. A chemical plant and an.oil refinery are also | scheduled for Prince George. The total cost of these projects has longer on Its way, “Meanwhile, the Railway's plans for a $250,000 yard expansion at Williams Lake are completed and construction awill commence in the first half of 1966. “Work is proceeding on the Fort St. James leg of the Takla Lake ‘extension and on the Mackenzie spur. Both are scheduled for com- pletion in 1966, Under survey is a 50-mile branch north from Fort St. John — the first step of a line 200 miles north to Fort Nelson., The survey is well advanced for the 64-mile line to Takla Lake from Fort St, James to make possible |. the development of rich timber and mineral resources. “In 1966, the PGE will commen: ce to reap the benefits of the great expansion recorded in recent years throughout the area it serves and the outlook is extremely bright for the years immediately ahead.”.
