(5.) LOWER MAINLAND. 



This district embraces what is usually known as the Lower Fraser Valley. It 

 is the territory tributary to New Westminster and Vancouver. In size, it is about 

 130 miles long and up to forty miles wide, and is the most developed, the oldest 

 and largest agricultural community in the Province, with settlements close together, 

 territories well served by electric and steam railway-lines, as well as by navigable 

 waterways.
