New Telegraph Line Sought Between Victoria and Vancouver
After a inspection by General Superintendent Jaynes and District Superintendent Reid of the Western Asian Telegraph, a new line is likely to be laid from Victoria to Vancouver and mainland points to ease winter disruption. The plan would link via Sidney and the Gulf Islands to the mainland, lowering storm wrecks that affect the Beachy Hay Port Angeles cable and existing land lines. The Victoria Port Angeles link cost over 20000 dollars, and the new route could preserve valuable business currently lost during severe weather.
