The Cariboo Wagon Road
THE CARIBOO WAGON ROAD he success of the Cariboo goldfields necessitated the further Timprovement of the roads to the Cariboo. In May 1862, Colonel Richard C. Moody advised Governor James Douglas that the Yale to Cariboo route through the Fraser Canyon was the best to adapt for the general development of the country and that it was imperative its construction start at once. The governor concurred and it was decided that the road would be a full 18-feet wide in order to accommodate wagons going and coming from the goldfields and thus it came to be known as the Cariboo Wagon Road. The builders were to be paid large cash subsidies as work progressed and upon completion of their sections were to be granted permission to collect tolls from the travelers for the following 5 years. Captain John Marshall Grant of the Royal Engineers, with a force of sappers, miners, and civilian labor, was to construct the first six miles out of Yale, while Thomas Spence was to extend the road the next seven miles to Chapman’s Bar, at a cost of $47,000. From here, Joseph William Trutch, Spence’s partner, was to tackle the section to a point that would become Boston Bar, a distance of 12 miles, at a cost of $75,000. From here, Spence would continue the road to Lytton. Walter Moberly, a successful engineer, with Charles Oppenheimer, a partner in the great mercantile firm ROYAL ENGINEER'S BUCKLE & BUTTONS. COURTESY WERNER KASCHEL of Oppenheimer Brothers, and Thomas B. Lewis accepted the challenge to build the section from Lytton until the road joined a junction with the wagon road to be built by Gustavus Blin Wright and John Colin Calbreath from Lillooet to Watson’s stopping house.

Vancouver's Land Speculators
Malcolm Alexander MacLean, Vancouver’s first Mayor, arrived in Vancouver a few months before the city’s incorporation. A Scotsman, he had been born in Tyree, Argyllshire, in 1844. As a teacher, he taught school in Ontario before moving to New York to do office work for the Cunard Steamship Company. He moved to Manitoba 1878 and set up a wholesale business in Winnipeg just ahead of the railway builders. His wholesale business supplied food for the government troops that came west to put down the Louis Riel Rebellion. MacLean’s sister had married Arthur Wellington Ross, a school inspector, who was a realtor in Winnipeg acting as an advisor to William Cornelius Van Horne, the President of the Canadian Pacific Railway. The two brothers-in-law started a real estate business in Winnipeg. In 1884 Ross and his family moved to Granville so he could represent the CPR interests at the “Terminal City.” Ross showed fellow realtor Walter E. Graveley a letter by Van Walter E. Graveley and E. E. Barker’s Real Estate office in the 100 block of Cambie Street near Cordova Street. The top portion of the building was used as a boarding house, while the bottom floors contained the real estate offices of E. V. Bodwell and the partnership of Graveley and Barker, Dr. Lefevre and Dr. Robertson’s surgery as well as the Palace Tobacco Shop, 1888.

Originally founded in the 1870s as the settlement of Granville, the new city was renamed after Vancouver upon its incorporation in 1886. Coat of Arms: Granted in 1969, Vancouver’s Coat of Arms honours the seaport with a shield containing a ship’s sail and a crown, symbol - ic of the city’s British connection. The top corners of the shield con - tain dogwood flowers, the provincial flower, while the Kwakiutl totem pole at the centre is a nod to the city’s Aboriginal heritage. The city’s motto spreads across the bottom. Vancouver’s Motto: “By sea, land and air we prosper.” Official Flag: The green chevron on the left side represents the land on which the city is built and the forest that has provided its prosper - ity. The alternating waving bars of blue and white symbolize the sea, Vancouver’s other main source of wealth. The shield represents the city’s status as a corporation.
