result that sleighing was not
good until late in the season.

Tells of Our Resources -

“The Vancouver and Victoria
citizens seem to be so busy with
their own affairs and prosperity
is so apparent in these two low-
er coast cities, that the wonder-
ful development that has taken
place in the interior is shoved in-
to the background,”’ said George
J. Hammond, president of the
Natural Resources Securities Co.,
to the Vancouver Province. |
“The other day the stockhold-
ers of the Grand Trunk Pacific
met at Montreal. President
Hays in his annual address to
the stockholders told them that
the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway
would be running trains into

tend of the Yellowhead Pass and
at the head of navigation on the
South Fork of the Fraser River
late in 1911—which evidently
means in December, 1911. This
means that next spring Grand
Trunk Pacific Railway freight
and passenger trains will connect
with the steamers on the South
Fork of the Fraser River at Tete
Jaune Cache,. thus giving. direct
rail and water transportation to
a country tributary to 1000 miles

ritory such ‘as we have in ‘the

by officials of the Grand Trunk’
