Fraser River frontage to aid new cold storage expansion
Plans by the B C Packers Association to add a large extension to the Columbia Cold Storage Plant depend on securing extra water frontage from the CPR on the Fraser River adjacent to the current facility. They will also buy another halibut steamer to supplement the Roman's work and bring fish to New Westminster. Shortages hit Nechaco settlers as steamers fail to navigate Fraser Lake, with store rooms burning earlier hindering supplies. Local efforts and possible government aid are expected to address winter needs, while a Blackwater road completion before winter would ease isolation. Victoria reports BC Alaska Railway surveys from Fort George to Quesnel, seeking government support for the line through Chilcotin to the Alaska boundary. Attorney general shifts discussed as Hugh A. McLean joins Elliott & Shandley. temporary deputy J. P. McLeod to run legal offices, with future reconstruction plans for the department.
