LAKE KATHLYN IS
COMING TO FRONT
Wecca for the Toutist, Sportsmen and

Picnic Parties, it Has Beautiful .
* Natural Surroundings

t

Lake Kathlyn, originally known |.
as Chicken Lake, is one of the
beauty spots of the Bulkley val-
ley. It is situated about forty

miles east of New Hazelton, and|

the Grand Trunk Pacific railway
skirts the edge, with the proyies-
ed depot site right on the shore
of the lake, From the car win-
dows as the fast expresses are
rushing by, or even standing at
the depot, very little of the real
beauty of the place can be seen.
It requires a stopover of a day
or two to get even a vague idea
of the surrounding country. But
several days or a couple of weeks
can be profitably spent in the
locality.

. Some parts of the lake shore
are high and dry, and almost
any part of it can'be made a good
landing place for launches ‘or
canoes with very little labor or
expense. The lake is not excep-

size is make up by greater beau-
ty, and it is only a matter..of
time until Lake Kathlyn is. the
favorite summer resort and pic-
nie grounds of the north, In fact
itds common practice now for a
large number of Smithers people
to run down for the day or week
end to enjoy the boating and the
fishing, both of which are excel-
lent. fo

Aside from the natural attrae-
tion of the lake there are several
mountain trips that can be taken
anid which will prove a revelation
toithe visitor. A trip to the coal
fields to see the coal and the
glacier is worthy of. anyone’s
time for a half a day or a day.
The same can well be said: of
another trip up the trail to the

the. travelling is good and any-
one can make the grade. There
are.also several other trips: which
are of interest to the sightseer,
the mountain climber | or the min-
ing man, for there are numerous
deposits of silver, lead, copper,
ete, on the Hudson ‘Bay moun-
tain,

“Surrounding the lake for miles
there i is one of the finest stretch-
es of agricultural land that one
could wish for and: already -a

cated there and have. made. ex-

farms, but there is’ room “for.
many more. settlers ‘and: thou
sands of. additional. acres ean €
brought ‘under cultivation. . oS

tionally large, but the lack of

summit. To both of these points!

large number of. gettlers are lo-

_tensive ‘improvements ‘to. their) .-

will be a resort for tourists and
summer visitors. It will: be the

shipping and supply” point “for

the coal fields, the mineral. pro-
perties and for the agriculturists,
Mining and farming will make a
lively town there, and. it:..will
start to grow and prosper in-the
not distant future.

Dominion Chemist:—

. Rational farming is

effective of all fertilizers.
