Excerpt from Fruit-Growing Possibilities of Skeena River and Porcher Island Districts In accordance with your instructions, I visited the Skeena River district and Porcher Island, leaving Victoria May 8th, returning June 7th. Distributed 620 trees among the settlers for experimental purposes, and upon which a separate report is being submitted. The proper distribution of the trees entailed the greater part of the month spent in the districts. On this account, and as the districts covered were of such large extent and the transportation facilities rather uncertain, it was impossible to cover as much of the districts as was desirable to make a complete report, especially in regard to areas of different types of soil. It was feasible, however, to obtain a good general idea of conditions in the districts visited, and this information, along with that which was obtained from interviews with the settlers, is respectfully submitted forthwith. Along the Skeena River for the first sixty-five miles or so from Prince Rupert, there is a very small amount of available agricultural land. The mountains rise directly from the river, except for a few hundred acres of land in odd places. Most of this land is heavily timbered, so the clearing will be fairly expensive. The soil is a loam with a large percentage of river-silt apparently rich in organic matter. Where it is high enough above the river to afford good drainage, the land will prove highly productive. Coast climatic conditions prevail here, and on this account this section is not well adapted to the growth of tree fruits. Small fruits will do well and might prove profitable for local market or canning-factory purposes, but they will lack in shipping qualities owing to the wet climate. Vegetables do especially well on this type of soil. Grasses and cereals grow well there, and, providing climatic conditions are favourable at harvesting-time, this might prove a profitable branch of agriculture to follow on these lands. No extensive development work has been done in any of these places, so that the possibilities of these sections as mentioned above are largely problematical. After leaving the Coast district and coming into the vicinity of Lakelse River, the mountains recede, and on the north side of the Skeena River there is the Kitsumkalum Valley, and on the south the Lakelse Valley, each of which has a large acreage of first-class agricultural land, and the climatic conditions are well adapted for agricultural or horticultural pursuits. In reporting on these districts, it would mean much repetition to cover them all fully and for this reason a full report will follow on the Lakelse district, and reference will be made to this district where similar conditions occur in the other places. Lakelse Valley. Picture 1 shows a section of the Lakelse Valley taken from a point near the Skeena River and looking towards the Lakelse Lake, some seven miles distant. Lakelse Lake (which has hot springs in its vicinity) is a fresh-water lake, and will, no doubt, prove a valuable adjunct to the district as a summer resort. There is a large amount of land between the lake and Douglas Channel I could not visit, and no mention of same can be made in this report.
