giving a description of has first journey to British
Columbia, which was in 1859, and the geographi.
cal position of the country, the Rev. lecturer
went on to speak of . '
which,THE CLIMATE,
•h• -••variable, as the Col f
e said, was ony o
ritish Columbia was very extensive, but - on the
hole, a, more healthy climatecould.not be. fo und
the face of the earth. The climate of Van-
c r's Island, also, take it the year round; was
most pleasant and favourable . 1
,.. ,THE SOIL. , •
The old cry which had been raised about the
SOU of British Columbia being so barren, rocky,
and mountaneous, that nothing Would grow upon
it had now become pretty nearly exploded. He
:
could say that the soil was, for the mostpart, ex-
Cellent, . and in every respect most -productive.
The many thougands who had, within late years
emigrated there,.and. who were industrious and.
persevering, have succeeded in making good and
comfortable homes for themselves,,and there was
yet it sufficiency of arable land to Ifurnish homesto
and comfort for the many thousands who were
yet to -go. As a prOof of this, he had only 'to
point to the rapid progress which. the . Colonly
had made. In 1858, when gold was first discov-
ered on the Frazer river, the country was almost
a complete 'wilderness, but since that time it had
been explored, and they had now a Lraveled
.
road. carried through, equal to any in this coun-
t d o rer 400 miles in leRgth. t The general
try an %, ,.
aspect of the country M VaWover's Island was
mountainous. In, .proceediftk from the. .gacific
coa,st, arid passing up the lower Frazer, the coast
range of'mountains to the table lands, which, al-
though intersected with mountain peaks, contain
a, VaSt area of excellent land. Passing 90 miles
further on, the Cascade rane6e .of mountains are
rea,ched. Next comes the Bald Mountain range,
where the great Caraboo gold recrion is situated.

The fish from those waters are row being export-
ed to. -Various parts of the world. This branch of
- industry, alone, must eventually prove a source
- of great Wealth to the country. Whale fishing,
is:now, also, being prosecuted very extensively.
TIMBER.
The greatest draw -back to many" sections, is _
the scarcety of good timber. In many parts, the
- only available .timber is a .species of crab-apple
which makes ver fair fuel but is almost
' - • Y '
-useless for other purposes. All the timber re-
:
quired for the manufacture of agricultural imple•
ts has tobe im ortedfrom the Eastern States
, • '
which makes it very expensive In Cariboo, axe
sell for $2.50. Between the Cascade,
-range of mountains and the coast, there are some
veryfine hspeeimens of pine, w. em

to six feet in diameter at the butt, andsome even
going as high as nine feet eleven inches. This
timber will yet be a, source of very- great wealth
