C. Railroad Would Work Wonders The Vancouver Province says editorially: “Mr. D. A. Thomas, the Brit- ish coal magnate, is obviously “IT dare not wail his ex- strides not one who lets upon I will.” He came, perts saw and now he across the continent prepared to conquer. Where others have hesitated he thrusts on. For a considerable period a_ railway froin tidewater into the Ground- hog coal basin has been in the air. Mr. Thomas brings it to earth with a rush. a charter from government He applied for the Dominion a few weeks it is granted he only ago and directly comes over to make arrange- ments for its construction. Ap- parently he asks for nothing more than the charter, though he would be less than human if he were to refuse any opportu- nities which may come his way. If Mr. Thomas really intend to start construction immediately and if his plans have in view the coaling of vessels on the Panama route it would seem that time an essential part of the contract is he is going to open not only a new country but a new era in the history of British Columbia. When it is remembered what anthracite coal has done for South » Wales and that the Groundhog basin is apparently the only anthracite on the Pa- cific coast, it is hardly to be wondered at that that visit of Mr. b. A. Thomas excites the interest of the whole continent. On the Tram Line Billy Sargent spent the week in town. He reports that at the Carnaby camp the boys are mak- ing great headway with the clearing for the tram line right of way. They have twenty men on the job and in less than three months they will have the towers all up and everything ready for the cable.-—Omineca Herald. OPENS NEW COUNTRY |P.G.E.
