HE BULKLEY VALLEY IS BEYOND ANY QUESTION WHATEVER
See aiiy ADAPTED FOR MIXED FARMING, especially includ-

ing dairying and stock-raising. The Grand Trunk Pacific Railway has
just been opened amid scenes of great local enthusiasm on its first 110-mile
stretch to the eastward of its Pacific Coast terminus—Prince Rupert; and as
far up the Skeena Valley as Copper River. And when the tunnel through
Kitselas Canyon is finished—and it is a matter of about half a mile in length
—the greatest existing obsta¢le to the making of rapid progress with the im-
portant work of pushing forward the construction of this transcontinental
highway up the Valley of the Skeena River towards Hazelton and the Bulkley
Valley will have been most effectually removed. This tunnel is situated some
10 or 15 miles up the Skeena from Copper River. The contractors confidently
expect to complete the road as far as and into Hazelton this fall; and the
work of clearing out the right-of-way in the Bulkley Valley is already in prog-
ress. The Bulkley Valley should be able sometime during the coming year to
rejoice in the presence of construction gangs and camps actively engaged upon
the road-bed, and this will undoubtedly coincide with a distinct and serious
advance in the values of all the desirable properties to be found in this valley.
