TO OUR READERS.
North of us and adjoining Washing
ton Territory, is a vast country, larger
by far than both Oregon and Washing
ton Territory. It is known as British
Columbia, and is the Pacific Province
of the Canadian Confederation. The
entire section possesses great mineral
weaitn, ana hiso oners cmicmg induce
ments to industrious agriculturally in
clined emigrants. Yet so little is
known of this magnificent country that
when British Columbia is mentioned
the majority of people imagine it a lit
tle village in the extreme somewhere.
To correct this error and give our read
ers at least a fair idea of this, our rich,
next door neighbor, we have concluded
to devote this entire number to the his
tory and resources of British Columbia.
Our information is from personal obser.
