NEW METROPOLIS
IN FAR NORTH
VISITOR TELLS OF WONDERS
NEAR ALASKA LINE
BOOM GROWS AT TERMINUS OF
GRAND TRUNK.PACiFlc
Timber, Fishing and Other Resources
Said to Offer Great opportu-
mites in the New
Island Town

Five hundred miles north of Seattle,
off the coast of British Columbia,
twenty miles south of the Alaska line,
lies the island of Prince Rupert and
the town of the same name. For the
latter greater claims are made propor-
tionately than are made even for Los
Angeles in regard to future growth.
Population 1909, 500; population 1919,
50,00O." Is the way it is stated, with
the added epigram, THE last great
city of the last great west" And since
that claim was made, in June, 1t Is
said the population already has
doubled.
The island and the town form the
terminus of the Grand Trunk Pacific
railroad. connected by trestle with the
mainland, and assurance is given that
1t is destined to become the greatest
distributing point of the northwest.
j. ST. John of this city, who has just
returned from a visit to Prince Ru-
pert is enthusiastic over the posi-
bilities presented there.
Everybody who becomes acquainted
with the place realizes at once that n
great future is in store for it," he said
yesterday. Already since lots in the
city were put on the market in June
the sales amount to $780, 900. That is
going some, isn't it? The town is not
incorporated yet, but we call 1t city
because it's bound to be one of the
greatest cities of the west.
"Theres a deep water harbor there.
one of the finest on the coast, and
many undevcloped resources. The is
land itself is heavily timbered, and
there are vast tracts of timber land on
the mainland. There will be great
fishing industries developed there, too.
"A feature of the town, which |
think presents an altogether unique
departure from custom in respect to
places of strong. swift growth, is that
there are no saloons; they are not per-
mitted, and gambling in every form is
barred absolutely.
"The island comprises about 10000
acres, much of it being fine agricul-
tural land. but the city will not have
to depend on the resources of the is
land by any means. 1t will be the me-
tropolis of a vast region, embracing
wide tracts of agricultural land and
timber, and also the gold fields Of
British Columbia. 1t will become the
distributing point for all that region
and for Alaska as well.
with the completion of the Grand
Trunk railroad Prince Rupert will be-
come an important point on the short
est route around the world. In the
harbor there is thirty-siX feet of water
at low tide.
prince Rupert will offer a market
for Southern California fruits and veg,
etables from the very beginning, and
the shipping between there and San
Pedro harbor will be large.
Nowhere in the west. in my opinion,
are there such opportunities as are
presented there"
Prince Rupert, via Seattle by boat
from San Pedro, is only seven days
trip

IF EVER DREAMS COME TRUE

II ever dreams came true, my dear,
, II ever dreams came true,
No rose might turn to brown or sere,
Nor human cheek betray a tear;
The skies would then be coudless blue
Where stars. like flowers at nightfal grew
And life he music for us two
II ever dreams came true.
II ever dreams came true, my dear,
If ever dreams came true
Beyond this mortal scope and sphere
Ourselves, unchanged, would reappear.
As lovers stil In Times full View
Not death might rob us of our due
The grave itself should be the clue
II ever dreams came true.
II ever dreams came true. my dear.
II ever dreams came true
Though | were dead this many year
From fate's dark ramparts hurtled sheer.
The love that thrills me through and through
When I but look or think on you,
Should ages hence its power renew,
BY Fsme's lone herald bugled clear.
II ever dreams came true

ALL READY
FOR FAIR

Visitors at the Interstate fair
grounds today say they never have
seen such activity in the arrival
and arrangement of exhibits and
general preparations for the fair as
are on today for the sixteenth Spo-
kane Interstate fair.
There is hustle and activity in
every department and from fancy
work to bantam ROSTERS the scene
Is one of animation.
Secretary Robert Cosgrove says
the prospect for a fair was never
better. He predicts bountiful dis
plays In all departments, good
amusements and feels that these
things will necessarily attract the
people.
The fair will open at 9 a. m.
Monday without any particular
ceremonies. There had been some
talk of asking the whistles of the
city to announce the opening, but
the rush of business prevented
making this arrangement.
The first big thing Monday will
be the arrival of the drummers'
parade. Monday is set apart for
the use of the travelling statesmen.
The main building is now filling
mp rapidly. Mrs. Robert Farley,
who is superintendent of the art
department, says the prospect for
. large display in that line was
never better. The entries will
close at p. m. tomorrow in this
department, after which everything
will be in order for the opening
Of the fair Monday.
