PUBLISHER. of THE MORNING gra
HIS, the first rotogravure edition of a newspaper ever published in British Columbia, is, frankly, an experiment. If it is as favorably received as its mechanical and artistic merit warrant, it will become a regular feature pub- lished periodically with greater and greater frequency as the growth of the city warrants.
Rotogravure pictures tell a story in a convincing way that cannot be rivalled by any other process of the print- er’s art. Its value has been demonstrated in the big centres of population, where it
a has been established in popular favor by
the more responsible and influential jour-
¢ Canad} nals. But, for the very reason that the
Royal Ban! 00? 4926 work is exceptional and difficult, it is The al BO perore® T° costly; and it can only succeed where the
people themselves, by the support they give, make it a possibility.
It is with considerable pride that the Morning Star sends forth its first roto- gravure picture supplement, and it sin- cerely hopes that there will be many more to follow.

CAINADA’S GREAT PACIFIC PORT OF THE LIONS’ GATE— VANCOUVER
By James Anderson, Marine Editor
Rapidly taking first place among sea- ports on the Pacific slope of the Ameri- can continent, the Port of Vancouver seems destined to become Canada’s most important terminal in world trade, the British Empire’s most valuable link in Imperial commerce, and one of the world’s outstanding harbors in which expansion is practically unlimited.
The great inland basin of Burrard Inlet coupled with the waterways of the majestic Fraser River give the port of the Lions’ Gate a deep-sea frontage and available docking space unequalled in any of the great harbors of the world.
In a remarkably short space of time the water-borne commerce of the port has grown to stupendous figures, outrivalling all competitors to the South, until for 1924 total imports reached 2,223,127 tons, while exports for the same period were 2,374,434 tons.
Steamship lines serving. scheduled routes number 44, of which 15 ply to United Kingdom and continental ports via Panama Canal; ten connect with the Far East and all main Oriental ports; nine serve Central and South America; seven make leading U. S. and Canadian Atlan- tic seaports; and three link up with Australia and New Zealand. ~.
Chartered vessels from world-wide points visit the port to load full cargoes produced in the rich Hinterland which supplies grain, timber, coal, metals, pulp and paper, fish, fruit, and all’. the .by- products manufactured from. Nature’s vast storehouse of raw material.
Vancouver Harbor possesses the most modern piers built, the great Canadian Pacific Piers, B. C., almost completed at a cost of $5,000,000, the famous Ballan- tyne and Lapointe piers operated by the Harbor Commission, and many public and private docks and wharves.
Drydocking facilities are unexcelled, ready to care for the smallest fishing vessel, tug or deep-sea steamship.
The finest and fastest ferry steamers in: the world connect with nearby provincial and. U. S. seaports, while a large fleet of coastwise vessels cruise the 1000 miles of inland ocean waterways as far north as Alaska.
Second in Dominion importance now, Vancouver is destined to become Canada’s most important .seaport within the next ten years. : :

The territory is divided into fifteen districts, each of which sends one or more directors to the Associated Board, which consists of twenty members.

Mining in British Co- lumbia, since the days of the Cariboo Gold Rush, in the early 50’s, has been one of the Province’s chief indus- tries.
It is estimated that to date over $75,000,000 has been paid out in div- idends by British Co- lumbia lode mines, and many millions more have been earned from various placer “dig- gings.”

HE accompanying illustrations of Brighouse and Lansdowne Parks Race Courses depict a slight portion of two of Vancouver’s most popular Summer “Play Grounds.” Picturesquely situated about 8 miles south of the city adjacent to each other, they are easily reached by most adequate transportation. The B. C. Electric Railway discharges visitors at the Grandstand Entrances of each Course. The Club Houses with their lawns and floral decorations are invariably a scene of beauty and gaiety.
King Horse has not been neglected, there being over 600 stalls for his accom- modation, and the Grandstands, saddling paddocks and Jockies’ quarters are of a metropolitan description. The Race Courses proper are the regulation mile with chutes. Proof of their excellence and safety is the fact that no less than six Canadian Turf Records are held. there.
A pleasing feature of the large crowds the races invariably attract is to be noticed in the preponderance of foreign-owned motor cars, which proves the great popularity of the races for our tourists, and that the sport of Kings, as presented in Vancouver with all objectionable features eliminated, ranks most highly by comparison with the fashionable Eastern Canadian Race Courses.

In carrying out its Bridge River development, the British Columbia Electric Railway Company must drive a tunnel 244 miles long from Bridge River to Seton Lake, which is shown in the picture. The water at Bridge River thus diverted falls 1200 feet into the powerhouse on the shore of the lake. A townsite is now being laid out at this location.

As enlarged in 1925, the Stave Falls plant of the British Columbia Electric Railway Company, 42 miles from Vancouver. The plant has now a capacity of 87,500 horsepower. Eleven miles north of this plant, on the shore of Stave Lake, the same company is completing an automatic power plant of 14,500 horsepower. This will be the combination of what is known as the Alouette-Stave development, which will have cost $2,300,000. Alouette Lake has been dammed at its mouth and the water diverted by a 3400-foot tunnel into Stave Lake. After passing through the new power- house, it will be used a second time in the Stave Falls plant and later at a third plant of 80,000 horsepower further down the Stave River.
