So NUTS - a. -
for q very large increase or traHlc WITH
western Canada on account Of the canal
Bananas and some other tropical fruits
may be shipped through the canal to
British Columbia. but not in large guam
titles. Railway transportation from the
Atlantic coast ports, inc. .uding Boston. is
so much quicker to the Canadian north
west that water transportation to British
Columbia does not appear to be a good
business proposition
