And did you? Virgin fields are getting scarce and these are the only fields within reach\of the man of moderate means. The slogan “Get Back to the Soil’ is not only advice to those who may go to the land to till it but to those who have investments to make, for, as the canny Car- inegie observes: “Real estate ‘s at the basis of all wealth.” The greatest stretch of virgin fields in the world that are eally productive now lie be- ween Prince Rupert and Ed- onton, and the great trans- ontentinal railway is opening p this tract to profitable set- lement. The Grand Trunk Pacific is emblematic of modern progress. It is developing this att great open land, There re many fertile valleys along ts steel line of progress that ill attract many thousands of ttlere, and to accommodate hese settlers country towns ill spring up as if by magic. here is big money to be made by investing anywhere along he line of construction, and his is the time to invest cause prices are comparative- y low now.

If you do you will | either decide to make your jhome there or an investment for future fortune. There are ivast tracts of the finest land in this pretty vale, and among them is one of 422 acres es- pecially adapted from the char- acter of its soil for fruit grow- ing. This is crown-granted and will be sold en bloc or split up to suit purchasers. Near Kitselas we have a small tract of seventy-five acres to offer. This is bottom land, tion as well as its close prox- imity to the much talked of | New Hazelton, you must admit | that it presents a great op-| portunity for profitable invest-_ ment. | IN KISPIOX VALLEY three acres is cleared and it has a cabin on it. This is offered at $25 per acre. There is going to be a gov- ernment ferry across the Skee- na at what is known as Breck- enridge Landing, and here will be found 155 acres of fruit bulletin issued by the provin- cial government regarding the vacant lands in this part of the province, references mad to the excellent agricultural | lands in the Kispiox valley. Two well known pioneers who | had their pick of the govern-| ment lands in the Skeena, Naas, Bulkley and other valleys | chose land in this section. One of these tracts, six hundred and twenty-one acres, is near Haz- elton and on the Kispiox Arm. | The other is on Kispiox River Fork and is three hundred and twenty acres in extent. Small streams run through these tra- cts, the soil is good and the land can be easily cleared. $10 an acre, part in cash, is all that is asked for these lands. CHANCES FOR FRUIT GROWERS This season the provincial | valley and the other in Kit- sumkalum valley. The proven fruitfulness of the soil on both sides of the Skeena at this point led the government to undertake these tests of what this land was capable of pro- ducing under the most favor- the result will undoubtedly add to the intrinsic value of all | the available land in these| sections, | Quite a number of large and small tracts are now offered, | and at various prices. We have one hundred and sixty acres on Lakelse Lake for which only $10 an acre is asked, while we also have a twenty acre tract near Eby & Co.'s store at Kitsum- kalum for which $250 an acre is the price quoted. Also, Mr. Weeks is offering lots of 1 1-16 acre at $500 per lot at Kitsum- kalum. Then we have Lot 1072, 160 acres, offered at $62.50 per acre, and several other good bargains.

Only three sections of this land were sold by the government, the remainder being reserved for pre-emption. This is offered at $12.50 per acre on liberal terms of payment.

Without any noise or bluster or blowing of trumpet the first reg- ular passenger train left this city to travel over the first hundred mile section of the great trans- continental railway at this western end of its nearly four thousand miles stretch. But the event was only memorable trains have long been running on other sections of the Grand Trunk Pacific, and for the completion of the construction of the whole line there now but unfinished gap of some four hun- dred miles. A Great Work But the event might be mem- orable in another aspect, as this hundred mile has been the most difficult and expensive to build of any section. At the other end, and especially on the prairies, the construction has been locally, as remains an section Brief History of the Great Line Which is Working Marvel to the Engineering World OPENING OF LINE MEANS INK COMPLETED : Tne Easy Grades are a be to keep us prosperous until the glorious an- nouncement is made that the great transcontinental railway is finished.

Since March 1908 The contract for this section was let to’ Messrs.

The Yellowhead Pass There is quite a misconception about the famous Yellowhead Pass. Instead of its being a deep and narrow gorge through a range of | sawtooth mountains it is expansive and nearly level. When Mr. Lett, and newspaper men making the trip from Edmonton Prince Rupert along the railway route last fall, told his guests they were through the Yellowhead Pass they turned round and_ exclaimed: “Well, where is it?” The Skeena Bridge “One more river to cross” and that the Skeena. The big bridge will probably be completed early next year and before or by this date we shall be welcoming trains from the mining regions about Telkwa and the wide agri- cultural stretches of the Bulkley valley. By that. time there will no doubt be a dozen new towns to hear from and the to 1s business from Winnipeg } Phone I also wish to issue an open challenge to any man in B.
