CANADIAN LAND
AGENT
G. T.. Hutton Would Inter
est Wenatchee People
in North.

-. +. I1utlOU, selling agent TOT the
North Coast Land Co., Ltd, of Van
couver, B. c., is in the city, at the
Wenatchee hotel. Mr.. Hutton is of
the. opinion that there are many
Wenatchee pople. looking for a
change in location, and he is endeav-
oring to interest such in the choice
and cheap lands in central British
Columbia. Mr. Hutton says:
Within three or four miles of
Fort George and therefore in the
best part of central British Column
bia, lie some 10000 acres of virgin
farm lands, level and nicely cleared,
ready for immediate occupancy.
These lands are controlled by the
North Coast Land company, Ltd, of
Vancouver
While wheat, oats, barley and
any of the other cereals raised in
the prairie provinces can be grown
profitably on these lands, they are
particularly adapted to the require
ments of the mixed farmer, truck
grower, stock raiser and dairyman.
Hay brings from $50 to $50 per ton,
according to the season of the year,
and as three tons of hay may be
produced from each acre it will be
readily appreciated the profits that
are to be made in this direction. If
planted in oats, profit of from
$3.50 to 5000 per acre is easily pos
sible, figuring on 50 to $3.50 per
bushel and rs bushels to the acre,
which is the average yield and price.
The demand for eggs cannot be sup
piled at present, and what are avail
able readily command from rs cents
to 81 per dozen. These figures may
seem fabulous to the farmer in the
far off eastern states, but out here
in the last new west conditions ex-
list as outlined above, figures substan-
tiating which are to be found in gov
eminent and other official reports.
LAS matter of fact the North
| Coast Land Co., Ltd, has received
inquiries about these lands from all
parts of Canada and from distant
points in many parts of the States.
| including Texas.
| From the favorable manner in
which the proposition has been re-
ceived by those with whom the COM
pany has been in communication 1t
is but fair to assume that the pres
ent offering will be shortly sold out.
Investigation into the affairs OF
the North Coast Land Co., Ltd,
elected the information that this is
the largest organization handling
British Columbia~farm lands and
townsites in Vancouver. Organized
under the stringent laws of British
Columbia, the company has a paid
up capital of $4,000 and is under
the management of men we'll and ia
vorably known in the business COM
munity. At this writing they control
about 10000 acres of farm lands in
this province of the highest quality
on the line of the Grand Trunk Pa
cific, or very close thereto. They
are selling these in quarter sections
of 100 acres each at the extremely
low price of $12 to $40 per acre.
Samples of wheat, barley, oats, timo-
thy and clover hay, ETC., shown the
writer in the company's offices, ex-
ceeded similar exhibits of land COM
panies both for size, yield per acre
and quality. The lands are all well
watered, while it is well known the
climate is mild and equitable, being
sheltered by the mountains from the
cold winds of the prairie and pro-
lection from the heat of summer is
afforded by the same means. Thus
cattle may be left out in the open all
winter with a minimum cost.
AS stated, the company has about
$4,000 acres of its holdings within
several miles of Fort George, to
which the figures given above indi-
eating the profits to be made apply.
! The same would be approximately
true of the rest of the company's
holdings.
