note: HOV 30 «« BERNI PIONEER NEWS. VOL. 1. ALBERNI, B. C, NOV. 23. 1907. NO. 15. ALBERNI CANAL CLEAR AND DEEP Capt. Walbran Knows Conditions and Has Something to Say. Capt. J. T. Walbran, discussing the question as to the suitability of Alberni as an ocean port, said the other day: "I know Alberni canal and the new townsite on Stamp harbor extremely well having made a survey of the harbor in 1892.
