the prevailing opinion among the peo- |
pie there 10 that the conveyancs Of |
mails shoald be by the west coast route, |
~ the snow Ia the winter season and |
tbs rise In the wator in the spring Sea- |
s0n will render impossible the noun |
tain trail for about three months. The |
trail route is advocated by some, but |
the above named obstacles will be q 1
serious objection 10 shs adoption Of |
that route. Mails by the West Coast |
will be dispatched and reoeived with /
regularity during the whole season. |
There are several streams which can be /
utilized with very little expense in div.
ing mill machinery. The Dolphin |
sailed from Alberni on Thursday last, |
at noon, calling at Ecaie and Pachena |
Bay. Remaining at each place one hour. |
She to9ed the schooner Kate from Race |
kocks TO Victoria, arriving here at 5 |
o'clock. The party enjoyed the trip |
down, aud were satisfied that the voy- |
age vas run In an exceedingly short |
time. Aiberni has in all probability q |
bright future before it.
