Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Vancouver to the Coronation: A Four Months' Holiday Trip
Leaving Vancouver, the western commercial capital of Canada, With its extensive industrial waterfront and its population of people, the first thing to attract the eye of the traveller is the Exhibition Park at Hastings. From the windows of the train we could see palatial buildings in course of erection. Everywhere an impression was given that there is something doing. In my opinion, Hastings Park will have something to Show the world in the next few years.
Then the site of the new bridge across Barrard Inlet to connect the two cities became visible, and also the North Arm of the Inlet, the great pleasure resort in summer.
All the industries here are in their infancy - chemical works, oil refineries, timber-yards, and shingle mills. Port Moody, the upper False Creek of Vancouver Harbour, is the site of the homes of tens of thousands of artisans, and of great reclamation works.
Yonder construction work is the new railway to Deep Cove and Indian River.
