Prince Rupert is situated $50 miles
north of Vancouver and 40 miles south
Of the Alaskan boundary. 1t is in the
same latitude as London and has a

being overlooked which will add to
the beauty and symmetry of the city

The site is a picturesque one. The
land slopes back gently for distances
ranging from half mile to two or
three miles. Here and there the ground
rises abruptly, providing the neces-
sary fall for drainage mad sewerage.
while a shore line five Or six miles in
extent sweeps around the front of the
city. The view from these elevated
stations and from back Of the town
site is a charming one. On the oppo-
site shore mountains slope down to the
water. To the northwest. through a
channel studded with islands. is STU
