A large percentage or all people take intothelr bodies, some time during llieir lives, the germs or tuberculosis. In most cases, these germs are held at bay and the disease never actually develops, The germs are there! however, and are a constant threat. They are most apt to get their chance I to causg diseuse if the body is weakened through the attack of some disease, such us Influenza, or even a c nlotl cnlii nr diseased teeth. Ovor fatigue, worry and exposure also lower iln- resistance of the body. If ndltlonal heavy doses of the germs or tuberculosis are taken iu, they may cause actual disease at any age.

That clinched puhlic confidence and gave assurance that things were in hand in earnest. The first locomotive for this railway arrived on August 12, 1885. as by that time sufficient steel had been laid to make locomotive traction advantageous. The line was completed on Friday, August 13. 1886, when Sir John A. Macdonald, Prime Minister of Canada, drove tlie last spike at Shawnigan lake and the first through train was pulled over the line on that date. The effect of the construction and operation or the E. & N, Railway on the agricultural districts between Victoria and Wellington were neither imnieiliatenor startling. The linking up or the two (only) urban communities on the Island was much more apparent. Gradually, also Duncan, a sort of halfway house, began to expand by reason of increasing agricultural, horticultural and other enlarge ment of Ita environs, Unoccupied lands adjacent to the railway began to be taken up ana agricultural development made a steady if slow progress. The subsequent history or ibis part of the railway rails well within the memory of the present generation. Rail and Water Meet With tbe land and timber "boom" which began on tbe Island about lim? .md lasted for a full half a decade, there was considerable activity af. the head of Alberni Canal, an inlet or th ePaclflc Ocean which cuts Vancouver Island to Its very heart extending Inland for thirty miles, and a new city—Port Alberni -was launched on the horizon of advancing impacts. So potential did the pros- new ctly appear that in mil the B, &. N. Railway extended its line from Wellington to that port. The new extension was dedicated for traffic in December of tbat year. An older agricultural settlement much fart her north on the eastern I side of the Island had existed from rejoicing | time immemorial. That was the pi- same |„„eer Island district uf Comox, which had been settled by sturdy Shetland- era and Scotsmen many years before and concerning whicb Informative articles already have appeared In The Colonist. The lands between Parksville and this northern community- though rich in possibilities—lay fallow for lack of transportation. In 1913, therefore, (the E. & N. commenced construction of an additional extension to Courtenay. the new capital of Comox Valley. Thia extension was opened for tb rough traffic ln August. 1EI14, just a few days after (he declaration or the' Oreat War. Courtenay now under-' went marked and rapid expansion. Agricultural settlement increased. Land was cleared between Courtenay and Cumlierland. L'nion Ray grew, settlement was pushed in every available and promising direction— transportation had come. Later the Government settlement for returned soldiers was founded at Merville. a plot so named lying eight miles north of Courtenay, The history of this settlement, however .does not make very encouraging reading. Between Union Hay and Parksvllle new rural communities were planted Now tlie older settler who used to travel past a wilderness or heavy timbers and sloping terrain on the steamers which in 1887, furnished the only means of communication with ibis northern settlement, go by train aud are gladdened by the sight of what transportation can effect in the fortunes of individuals and the devel- opmenl ofa country, All this appears encouraging and doubtless, but for the blight ofthe war wouhl furnish siili better evidences of the potential itles or this sector of Vancouver Is- prouctli gaao; <'uniing nl' Automobile* For many years the E. & N.

Victoria in common with all other distributing centres, has got Iuto it- stride in the matter of motor transportation and Into Its swing in Uie ad eqnacy of is equipment. i The motor licencing department of ; the Provincial Government divides , motor transport Into onlytwo classes. | These nre passenger cars and commercial transport, li scarcely is necessary to point out that ihis elasstfl- , cation is Inadequate as it does not distinguish between motor passengers transport and the use of automobiles , for domestic ami particular for Individual business purposes. Neither , does it distinguish between motor trucks and the more elite trieght transfers adapted to the handling of the much mere costly lines of commercial a nicies. Yet, including all these, and because of the network of excellent, roads which Vancouver Island boasts now. there is not a point between Victoria and Campbell River that cannot be reached conveniently, rapidly and comfortably by motor transport. Coach lines and private tars begar. to cut into tlie business of the Victoria & Sidney Railway early In tho history of ihis development. So more satisfactory wns the motor service that the V, £ S.s which bud been built in IS9I, was compelled ti) suspend operation .in 1019. Sidney still is served with I rati connection by a spur line of tlie Canadian National Railways, bul the V. & S., one part of an ambitions project, has its rails lorn up. and i nn historic n-lic only, terminal buildings, devoted to other purposes, alone remaining. The British Columbia Electric Railway bulltan expensive interurban line to Deep Tove ill 1013. It was. for len years,a great convenience to people of small acreage and Interurban homes along the line to a gratifying extent. Vol tba Invasion of privately owned cars, and later of regularl; routed coach lines, has compelled th abandonment of operations. Well, old men die to make way for younger, stronger, swifter and perhaps better men or a new generation Why should traffic lines or means of transport be any different? Asa result of tlie new Invasion the whole of Saanich Peninsula is served tony with By8tenia or motor transport for passengers and freight which could not have heen conceived a quarter ofa century ago.
