Representative of
Canadian Lands Here

G. e. Hutton, selling agent for
the North Coast Land Co., Ltd, of
Vancouver, B. c., is in the city at
los So. 9th st. Mr.. Hutton is OF
the opinion that there are many
Tacoma people looking for first
class Investments and he is en-
deavoring to interest such In the
choice and cheap lands about Fort
George, b. G. Mr.. Hutton says:
Within three or four miles of
Fort George, and therefore In the
best part Of central British Coium-
bia, lie some 5000 acres Of virgin
farm lands, level and nicely clear
led, ready for immediate occu-
pancy. These lands are controll-
ed by the North Coast Land Com
pany, Limited, 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 $40 to $50 per
ton, according to the season of the
year, and as three tons may be
procured 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
lprice. The demand for eggs can
not be supplied at present, and
what are available readily COM
mand from rs cents to $1.00 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 sub
stantiating which are to be found
in government and other official
reports.
GAS a matter of fact, the North
Coast Land Company, Limited, 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
company has been in communica-
ton 1t Is but fair to assume that
the present offering will be shortly
sold out.
! Investigation into the affairs of
the North Coast Land Company,
Limited, elected the information
that this is the largest organiza-
tion handling British Columbia
farm lands and town sites in Van
couver. Organized under the
stringent laws of British Columbia,
the company has a capital of $780,
900 and is under the management
of men well and favorably known
In the business community. At
this writing they control about
$4,000 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 an extremely
low price. Samples Of wheat, bar
ley, oats, timothy and clover hay,
etc, shown the writer in the COM
pany's offices exceeded similar ex-l
hibits of land companies, both fdrl
size, yield per acre and quality.
The lands are all well watered,
while it Is we'll known the climatel
is mild and equitable, being shelf
cred 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 minimum cost.
"As stated, the company has
about 10000 acres of its holdingsI
within several miles of Fort Georgel
to which the figures given abovel
the profits to be made
apply. The same would be ap-l
proximateiy true of the rest of thel
company's holdings"
Mr.. Hutton can be found at thel
Bowes Building, 106 So. 9th st. -
