Vancouver Man-Announces Plans for

Construction of a pulp and poper
mill with 2 capacity of 250 tons daily,
involving the expenditure of several
millions of dollars, will be commen-
ced at Kitimat shortiy. C. F. Pretty
of Pretty'’s Timber Lands of Vancou-
ver, made the announcement recently.
Local people know the extent and the
value of the timber Lands of the Kitt:
mat Valley and it has long been the
local dream that a pulp mill would be

ig common knowledge that the Kitimat
Valley is one of the richest in. British
Columbia, not only for Its pulp wood
but as a mineral aren and as an agri
cultural area. .

While Terrace is within reasonable
distance of Kitimat Wwe would not ad-
vise a general boosting of prices or a
too optimistic enthusiasm. Years’ are
required ‘to establish ind get operat-
ing.a pulp and paper mill; However
the dreams of the pioneers is coming
closer to a a realization,

A Dairy Herd
For Me, Says
Wm.  Croteau

«After twenty years experience on
the land in the Bulkley Valley William
Croteau should be some kind of an
authority on whether it is worth while
and whether a living can be made by
farming. He was asked his opinion
about making a living on the land and
bis reply wos “With braing and mus-
cles, well mixed, anyone can make good
here." ‘That. just about. sizes up the
situation, not only in farming, but in
most other lines of endeavor,

Mr. Croteau is secretary of the Bul-
kiey- Valley Farmers Institute, or was
for many years, He has been very
active in advancing the Bulkley Val-
ley, Darticilarly that ‘section “around
Telkwa. ‘His own farm: is: one mile
from Telkwa and consists’ of "B20 acres
of which 125 are under cultivation.
His main cLops “have consisted: of
wheat which, rans 40 busliels to the
acre, oats 60 bushels, and rye 60 bush-
els to the acre, He has-also made a
success of barley and potatoes. Of

- course he has grown ‘hundreds of tons

of timothy hay, but he no longer makes
that the first crop.

After spending numerous years on
their farm Mr. and’ Mrs, Croteau took
a trip and were away several years at-
tempting to find some place where Life
would be easier and monitary returns
greater than in the Bulkley Valley.
Croteau says he made an honest at-
tempt -to find that “garden of roses.”
He hunted in several states; but fin-
ally he gave up the hunt and admits
that he was glad. to get back to the
old farm which. ‘he, is tickled he did not
