Grand Trunk Pacific gains 2 1 2 percent dividend and district expansion
At the mid year meeting in London chairman Smithers announced a 2 1 2 percent dividend on third preference stock for the year and said a fall connection of the two lines may allow eastward removal of crops and westward traffic handling. He forecast continued immigration and land sales boom with Port Edward sales near half a million dollars and strong Prince Rupert, Vancouver, and Victoria purchases. Local land seekers rise as homeseekers outpace speculators, and new sites in Prince Rupert attract investors. Adair Carss and James Weir arrive in Rupert amid port expansion and store openings. Heavily notes Northern Laundry.
