Among the changes and improve
ments made in modern business meth
DDS none are of more Importance to
the public than the advancement made
in the banking business. Better and,
safer methods of handling deposits
and greater efforts made for the con-
venience of patrons by the more ag-
gressive banking institutions, have
wrought a wonderful change between
the bank of a few years ago and the
progressive bank of today.
An important feature of the bank
ing business to be recently developed
is the department of banking by mail.
This idea originated with Cleveland
bank and has been successfully fol-
lowed by banks in many cities, until to-
day deposits received by mail from
depositors at far distant points amount
to millions of dollars. Dexter Horton
Company of Seattle were among the
first bankers in the Northwest to estab.
nsh a Banking by Mail department,
and today their accounts in this de-
partment include depositors from the
Canal zone to the Arctic Circle. and
everyone of these is handled in a man

toners as the accounts of those liv-
ing here in the city. Whether your
account is large or small this bank
will be pleased to correspond with you
with view toward opening an &C
count by mail. 1t is just as safe as
personal visit to the bank and good
deal safer than keeping your money
around the house. Write them for free

ing by mail.

man can care for, and this amount
will keep a family in comfort. In
mixed farming more money can be
made with forty acres than from lou
acres in Manitoba or Eastern Canada.
New Westminster is the business,
as we'll as the agricultural, center OF
the valley. Situated on the banks of
the Fraser River it is a thriving lit
tie city of about twelve thousand, and
is the only fresh water harbor on the
Canadian coast. The Dominion Gov
eminent, recognizing it's Importance
as a port, has recently adopted the
plans of Francis LIE Baron, an eminent
engineer for Strengthening and per-
manently deepening the main chan
mel of the river, involving an expendi-
ture of over a million dollars. Today
ocean vessels of all sizes and capacity
navigate the river as far as the city
of New Westminster, in front OF which
there is ample anchorage for so or 1OC
such craft.
The Fraser Valley farmer will have
no trouble in transporting his produce
to market. Freight and passenger
steamers ply the waters of the Fra
ser River from Chilliwack to it's mouth
at all seasons of the year. The main
line of the Canadian Pacific Railway
traverses the entire length of the val
lev on the north side of the river. In
addition to these, the British Columbia
Electric Company has a line in oper-
alton from New Westminster to Van
couver and is now constructing line
from New Westminster to Chilliwack,
at the head of the valley, and one to
Eburn, twelve miles below New West
minister. The roads will open up some
of the richest fruit sections Of British
Columbia, offering cheap and rapid
transportation of produce to the mar
kets of New Westminster and VancOu
yer.
In New Westminster is situated
the only public market in the province
Friday is market day, and $500 and
$4,000 changes hands each Friday.
Steps are being taken to establish a
similar market at Vancouver.
Dairy farming is very profitable in
the Fraser Valley, and at the present
time is widely followed. The raising
of poultry, sheep and hogs is carried
on to a great extent and has been
found to be very remunerative.
British Columbia is Canada's larg-
est province, being larger than the
British Isles, Denmark, Switzerland
anu Italy combined and being blessed
with the soil, the climate and the mar
kets bid fair to be by far the richest
province.

Inc rlCn valley VI Tic IL doOi tsA' al
in the Province of British Columbia,
Canada, extending from Chilliwack on
the East to the Gulf of Georgia on the
West, will be the scene of the greatest
agricultural development the world
over in the next few years.
This great commonwealth, capable
of supporting population OF a MIL
lion in comfort, yes, even In luxury,
is at present the home of about llO,OOO
people, including the cities. Here are
hundreds of thousands of acres OF the
richest land in the world remaining
untitled for want of settlers. West
ern Canada is wonderfully rich in nat
ural resources, and United States cap.
ital is leading factor in the develop
ment of these resources, just as the
American farmer will be among the
foremost in the developing of the soil.
Up until a comparatively few years
ago Western Canada was generally
supposed to be frozen up for the great
err part of the year, much too cold Tor
agricultural pursuits. The reverse is
the case. The climate is very mild,
very little snow falls, though there
is considerable rain during the win
ter months. The winters are short
and very similar to those of the Puget
Sound country. The rainfall is SUI
ficent during the entire year for the
growing of crops, so irrigation is not
necessary.
At the present time mining, lum.
bering and fishing are the principal
industries, but in very few years az
riculture will be the greatest The
people are beginning to realize the
wonderful productivity Of the soil.
Fruit, vegetables and all kinds OF
grain thrive there. British Columbia
is RAPIDLY becoming famous for the
fine quality of it's fruit. Apples of all
varieties, especially the winter apples,
take first place, though berries OF all
kinds peaches, pears, plums, cherries,
crab apples and ounces can be grown
in abundance. In 1905 a collection OF
apples was sent to Great Britain and
placed on exhibition at the Royal Hor
ticultural Fruit Show at London,
where the exhibit was awarded the
gold medal The same collection was
exhibited at several provincial fairs
and won many prizes.
The markets for the products of the
Fraser Valley are unsurpassed. The
city of New Westminster is the agrl-
cultural center of the valley. To the
West is the rapidly growing city OF
Vancouver, with a population of about
ninety thousand, which is rapidly in
creasing Vancouver has one OF the
finest harbors in the world and con-
trolls the shipping trade of the Cana
dian Pacific coast, operating regular
lines of steamers to Australia, New
Zealand, China, Japan, Honolulu, Mex
leo and Alaska. To the East are the
great prairie provinces of Alberta and
Saskatchewan, famous for their wheat
yields, but entirely non-fruit-produc-
ing. The mining, numbering and rail-
way camps, the large cities of Eastern
Canada and the British Isles offer
unlimited markets.
The price of raw land varies from
$25 to $125 per acre. Land under Gull
tivation may be had for from $3.50 to
$500 per acre. In some instances land
with bearing orchards is held at a
higher figure Ten acres are all one
