“The towns fringing the Grand Trunk Pacific, which on the average are spaced about eight miles apart, are all located on the northern side of the line, with one or two exceptions. The principal thoroughfare striking directly from the station is always the Main Street, and is generally known as such.

Why had the animal chosen that out-of-the-way desert of ice as a burial place? We named the nearest mountain to the west Lynx Mountain, in his honour.”
