This
hinterland
is
estimated
at
264,853
square
miles,
more
than
double
all
the
British
Isles.
Its
population
today
is
estimated
at
only
75,000.
Almost
untapped,
its
resources
,in
agriculture,
timber,
mining,
fish
ing
are
so
tremendous
as
to
be
as
yet
by
no
means
completely
estimated
and
are
such
as
to
support
substantial
indust
ries.
It
is,
indeed,
the
land
of
opportunity
for
those
of
modest
means
and
those
of
substantial
capital.
Much
of
it
is
readily
accessible
by
rail,
highway,
steamship
and
air.
With
its
long
hours
of
sunshine,
its
equable
climate,
its
magnificent
scenery,
Mts
unexcelled
fishing
and
hunting,
it
is
in-dced,
a
pleasant
land
in
which
to
live.

In
PRINCE

British
Columbia
has
a
city
and
port
of
great
strategic
significance.

and
highway,
with
its
magnificent
ice-free
harbor
and
splendid
terminal
facilities,
its
highly-developed
fishing
industry,
its
dry
dock,
huge
grain
eleva-tortor,
and
cold
storage
plant,
spacious
railway
yards,
docks
and
warehouses,
and
widely
diversified
activities,
it
occupies
a
place
in
the
economic
picture
of
great
and
growing
importance.
It
Is
the
centre
and
distributing
point
of
British
Columbia's
newest
and
most
potential
hinterland,
o!
mineral,
fishery,
timber,
and
agricultural
resource.
It
is
the
logical
centre
for
large
industrial
and
shipping
activity.
Laid
out
originally
for
a
population
-of
50,000,
it
has
its
own
waterworks
and
up-to-date
telephone
system,
and
power
for
Industrial,
commercial,
and
domestic
uses
is
available
at
low
cost.
Its
roadways,
sidewalks,
and
sewers
represent
an
investment
of
$150,000,000.
With,
its
beautiful
parks,
excellent
schools,
