Overview

Excerpt from Survey Across Country by Way of the Bay D'est River, Noel Paul's and the Exploits: Report of Progress for the Year 1888 Should the railway system now talked of, ever become a foil accompli, and the western extension thereof, traverse this magni ficent valley on its course to St. George's Bay, then we may look forward to the fulfilment of l r. Murray's prognostication, but not till then. It will be fortunate, in the meantime, if the wealth of timber be not destroyed by fire. It has had many narrow escapes from such a calamity in recent times, and indeed a partial fire last June, which swept several square miles near the Badger River, came very near accomplishing the total destruction of the entire forest. I have shown in a previous report for 1882, that such a calamity did, at one time, overtake the forest of this valley, nearly two hundred years ago; and that the present growth only replaces a much larger one, originallv occupying this fine region.
