Alberta Boards Plan Vast Government Telephone System
Alberta aims to create a large provincial telephone network for 1910 linking Edmonton to Lloydminster and Wainwright on the east and Vancouver and British Columbia points on the west. The plan includes hundreds of miles of extensions, with major work along the Grand Trunk line east of Edmonton and new links to the north south trunk from Kadmonton to the international boundary. Contracts for materials will soon be awarded and work will proceed after appropriations are secured. The key extension would connect Medicine Hat to the trunk lines, while most of the region east of Calgary and Lethbridge remains outside the system.

At a western officials conference in Winnipeg an appropriation, subject to board approval, was made for fifty miles of the Kootenay Central railway next year. Work could start near Wardner on the Crows Nest Pass line in March. Tendering is expected in February.

CPR holds two hundred thousand acres in the valleys for agricultural use. Pioneer ranchers already demonstrate the region’s fruit potential.
