A City Site Richly Endowed

Magnificent Residential Location, Bus-
iness and Manufacturing Advantages

HE TOWNSITE OF FORT FRASER WILL PROBABLY BE THE LAST

IMPORTANT reservation for city purposes made in the Province of

British Columbia for a long time. Its location has been selected with
a great deal of care and discrimination. It is on the direct line of the Grand
Trunk Pacific Railway, and occupies a position veritably in the heart of the
Province. The city-site is on a small flat of excellent land just around Fraser
Lake and is traversed on its northern, western and southern poundaries by the
magnificent Nechaco River. It enjoys a gradual elevation from the river bank,
which guarantees a perfect sewerage system; is dry, quite free from bog or
marshy spots, has a soft soil, easy of excavation and throughout the many lots
of building land which it possesses, magnificent shade trees and luxurious
foliage abound. A more ideal spot could not be selected in all British Colum-
bia for city-making, and frequent visitors to the well-established centers of
population refer in unstinted praise to this new townsite.

The climate of Fort Fraser is all that could be desired. From early in
April till mid-October the temperature is even and warm, never reaching a
point when heat is uncomfortable, and after dark there are times when light-
weight outergarments would not be amiss. -The British Columbia winter of the
interior characterizes Fort Fraser as well. Light snowfalls take the place of
severe storms and frosts of eastern cities. In a word, for good, sound, health-
giving climate the conditions at Fort Fraser are most admirable.

Tt is certain that with the rapid development of this new town, one of the
handsomest of British Columbia’s many fine centers will arise quickly. Unsur-
passed location on a wooded slope, with winding river outlining the city for
three-quarters of its extent, plotted by Government surveyors to the very best
advantage, combine in assuring for Fort Fraser the title of the “Garden City
of the Last Best West.” Reference to the map which accompanies this booklet
will convey a precise idea of the layout of the principal streets and choice

residential locations.

All the country, not only immediately around Fraser Lake and Fort Fraser
City, but back as far as Stuart Lake and up the valley, is a marvelously fine
country throughout, with here and there in the traverse of it, extensive patches
of splendid open land, abundantly covered with nutritious grasses. Fraser
Lake practically adjoins a fine sheet of water called Burns Lake, which, in
turn, is contiguous to Decker Lake, making three attractive water spots in
close proximity to the City, the advantage of which for pleasuring purposes
and suburban homes is quite obvious. Fraser Lake, near the city, possesses
marvelous water-power which will foster manufacturing enterprises to an

unusual extent.
