Wednesday at 1:30 p.m. the first cattle train passed through Yale, consisting of five car loads, in all 85 head, drawn by No. 4 engine. Flat cars had been boarded up at the sides and ends and the cattle appeared to be very quiet. Mr. J.B. Greaves has the honor of shipping the first load of cattle by the Railway down the line. We understand the charge for taking the cattle from the place of loading to Port Moody is $6 per head. This will pay very well and, no doubt, the Railway contractors will follow it up as a business. Loaded with steel rails, etc., up and cattle back will do.

Mr. Uriah Nelson have left Spence's Bridge Wednesday morning with a hundred head is intending to ship at 12 Mile flat by Saturday and have the cattle forwarded by train the 104 miles in about 9 hours. Mr. N., with his usual enterprise has opened a first class meat shop at Victoria in charge of Mr. A.M. Nelson and other and purposes keeping a large and good supply of beef, mutton, pork, etc.
