Bulkley Valley---Has Visited the Townsite of Houston---
Season is a Little Late But Splendid Vegetable Crops
Are Being Raised---Horse-raising and Grazing
is Good---Settlers Are Going in

Transportation Costly
“The great problem up river
now is the cost of bringing in
supplies from Prince Rupert. It
costs about $50 a ton to bring in
stuff from Prince Rupert to Hazel-
ton, and to take it on again to
points beyond Aldermere costs
seven and a half cents per pound.
The goods have’ to be packed in of
course. Nevertheless there are
numerous satisfied settlers there,
and coming in. Towards the
Ootsa Lake region many pros-
pective ranchers with their wives
and families are steadily going
in waggons with led pack horses.

Mining Awaits Steel

“More than the agricultural re-
sources of the district, the mining
resources await anxiously the com-
ing of the steel to Hazelton.
Mining men are confident of the
future of the properties on the
Hazelton and Nine Mile moun-
tains, and development work goes
on in anticipation of the railway’s
completion. The great interest
in Hazelton real estate, at present,
centres around Bob Kelly's town-
site there. This is considered a
good thing, by Hazelton and out-

great franch there is Barratt’s
“Diamond D” Ranch. Here, I
understand, they sold $16000 worth
of hay to Messrs. Foley, Welch
and Stewart. The hay was all
of the fine quality grown up in
the Bulkley Valley. It is certainly
a great grazing, and farming
country.”

Late Season This

“About the beginning of August
will be a great time to go up into
those districts. This season is a
week or two later than usual but
by that time all the berry crops
will be ripe, and the whole district
will be at its best. In spite of the
fact that the season is‘a little late
things are coming on very rapidly,
and fine crops of vegetables are
assuted. Some little delay and
disappointment occurred through
the visitation of frost early this
summer, but .the abundance of
good flourishing vegetable growth
in the gardens of every ranch
there shows that the frost trouble
is not really serious. In some
however, this season po-
|tatoes have been nipped by frost,
and there are tracts where this
crop cannot be satisfactorily grown.
