OF this city, rr ,a his venerable father. A.
b. Smith, Es l., and also the visit of that
gentleman o another son, Mr. A. J.

west home.
Mr.. Smith died more from age than

passing away was quiet and painless"

Canadian Pacific Terminus.

MONTREAL, May 17.-Port Moody,
which was originally selected as the
terminus of the Canadian Pacific Rail-
way, has, owing to the inadequacy of the
harbor and the unfayorab!e topography
OF the surrounding land, been discarded
in favor Of Coal Harbor and English
Bay at the entrance to Burrard Inlet.
This will necessitate the extension of
the main line to the new town Of Van
cou7er. Aconsiderable town has already
sprung up there. and is attracting the
attention of capital from all parts of the
Pacific slope. A few months ago the
place was uninhabited and almost
unknown; today it boasts of over 5000
permanent residents, with hundreds ar
irving every day. The foundations of
the terminal hotel OF the company will
5e laid this week. The proceeds of land
sales, it is estimated, will more than
cover all expenditures.
