1t is almost unbelievable that such land as this should be
available at the astoundingly low price of $1,000 an acre. We
will explain to you fully why this opportunity is offered if you
will read this announcement through and then call at our offices
and investigate.
In the first place this land has no railroads at present. The
Grand Trunk, the greatest railroad system In Canada, Is now
building through to the Pacific Coast as rapidly as human energy
will permit. The railroad is backed by the government of Canada,
and the line is surveyed and laid out directly through the Nechaco
valley and our land.
The railroad line will be completed through this land within
a few months according to its agreement with the government.
When the transportation line is completed and this land has con-
nection with Prince Rupert, Seattle, Vancouver, Calgary, EdmOn-
ton, Winnipeg and the east by fast trains running several times a
day, there is no telling how high the values may go, for there is
no land anywhere of better quality.
Fruit lands as good as this are bringing a hundred dollars
an acre for every dollar this costs you. And there can be no more
fruit lands. There are no more new regions to be opened up after
the beautiful valleys of British Columbia affected by the Grand
Trunk Pacific railroad are settled.
You see, this is a chance which only a few people have, to
get into a new country, just ahead of a great railroad line, and get
some land while it may be had very cheaply. The raise in values
in such cases as this are almost magic. Double upon double the
values mount with the great stream of population which come in
with the first trains.
Omaha daily bee., 1909-12-05

course, the committees are reversed. but
these cases are exceptional.
When an important matter comes up
committees grant extended hearings. The
hearings on the railroad rate bill con-
tinued for months, and they fill as many
volumes as an encyclopedia. No one seri-
ously supposes that every senator reads all
this testimony. or that even every member
OF the committee does so. The aggregate
OF all the hearings OF all the committees
during a session of congress often con-
stitutes tens OF thousands Of pages. There
is much inconsistency in the extent at
which different matters are heard by con-
gress. When the simple question of
whether Reed Smoot should be awarded
q seat In the senate or unseated was being
considered the senate committee on priv
iliges and elections spent many times as
much money and took many times as much
testimony as was taken by the finance
COMMITTEES In the consideration OF the last
tariff bill.
on account OF the importance of the
committee. seniority means much in con-
gress. In the majority OF cases mediocTity
with long service counts more than great
ability with only a few years OF service
behind It. The tactical position is, OF course,
AAG AgAAlAAAANAg0 EAAAAA AAlAiAHAAAHs aAa IL VhN
will look over the list OF committee chair
men in the house and senate he will find
that every important chair is occupied by
a man of long service. In many cases
there are men who sit even below the salt
who are possessed Of more ability than
the chairman, but they have not been
there long enough 10 get the high posi-
lions.
The rule is. with certain exceptions in
the case of the chairmen, that the newest
members of a committee go to the foot Of
the table, just as the child entering school
begins in the A b c class. The child may,
by reason Of precocity or studlousness,
progress faster than his fellows; but prsc-
tically the only way a committee member
dvances up the table toward it's head is
when a member ahead OF him dies or
leaves congress. Influence may get the new
member named upon a committee more i'm
portant than some other committee, but
1t rarely will advance him one seat nearer
the chairman at the big table around which
the committee gathers for its deliberations.
It is when a man reaches the chairman
ship and the ranking membership on the
majority and the minority sides. that he
reaches his real usefulness in c1ngrcss. This
makes him a member OF the conference
committee on legislation with which his
committee has to deal. And the confer
ence committees Of congress are really the
strategic positions on the battlefields Of
legislation. What little round top was In
the battle of Gettysburg, that is the con-
ference committee in legislative campaigns.
After the house has had its say about a
law in process Of passage, and the senate
has had its say. il usually is found that
they disagree. The senate wants this thing
incorporated that the house has not put
In, and It wants that thing left out that
the house has put In.
Here, then, Is where the conference COM
mittee comes in and settles things. It
