THE OMINECA HERALD, ra : batik “1914 © : BACK TO THE LAND. IN THE NEW NORTH Several Parties Preparing to Take Up Farming Close to New Hazelton —Everything Favorable ' The. Herald: has .been informed on good authority that a number of: the -men in town, and who have been work- ing around the district, have decided to take: up land in this vicinity and get busy on. it this fall. These men are ~ mést worthy citizens and are the class : of men moat desired in any community. Northern. British. Columbia needs. such men who will get on the land and make it produce. The land is rich; it-is all close to the railway; it is not too. hard to clear, and there is a local market for all that can be produced during the next few-years, The Jand in this part of the provinee offers the brightest future for the man with ambition and small capi- tal.” The few who have attempted to farm have demonstrated the wonderful fertility of:the: soil. The man with the hoe will find it very easy to make good in this‘section of the coast province, | McMULLAN’S «EXPRESS and _ CARTAGE Special attention paid to Baggage , Transfer and Local Freight Contracta NEW HAZELTON, B.C.

It-is only fair to say that based on experience that which has come about has been a natural ge- quence of events, such as was to be expected.’ — . The passing of the railroad construction camps and forces takes away-a source of business that will have to be replaced; and it is to the new set- tler and resident that attention will be turned. The section at and direetly about New Hazelton will be the scene of a very considerable mining development. “Of the possible opportunity, only thé surface has been skimmed; But enough has been done to show that there are ores of great value to make this district one of the richest in the province, Each substantia! proposition will bring about the development of others. The next five years should show very large increases in in- dividual mines and opening out of many others. - And just as the miner is striving. to foree from the leads and veins the rich metals, ‘so the district must begin to try and draw from the soil something of its abundance. The real basis and permanent reliance must inevitably be the farm- er and raiser of produce. There is.a most.ample market. We have now means of communication. Just so soon as men will cease looking for, wait- ing for and hoping to make some sort of a. strike, and will settle down to till the soil, then a very real and permanent prosperity will begin, There is splendid arable land, delightful climate, and no fear of drought, and these are real blessings be- yond what is conferred on many other lands. There is really the finest of opportunity to grow the earth surely, quickly and in. profusion, in. the valleys along the line of the G.
