Edmonton in the Province of AL
berta on the east. To the south and
west, 500 miles away, lies the City
Of Vancouver. Geographically speak
ing, it will be seen that Fort George
is practically the center of British
Columbia. From this central point,
to the north and south, to the east
and west, lie hundreds of thousands
of acres of as fine agricultural land
as can be shown anywhere on the
American continent, and this great
area is now being opened up for set
tlement.
Great NaVigable Rivers.
In discussing the all-important
question of the accessibility of these
magnificent farming lands, 1t may be
well to turn for a moment from the
consideration Of the means Of trans
portation which will be afforded by
the completion of the railway now
under construction, and consider the
present means by which the settler
can go into this country at the COM
mencement Of this season. Turning,
then, once more to the map and ex-
amining the position Of Fort George,
it will be seen that not only does the
line of the Grand Trunk Pacific Rail-
way pass through this new city, but
it is situated at the junction of the
Fraser and the Nechaco Rivers, both
navigable streams for hundreds of
miles Today the intending settler
or land-seeker, whose objective
point is the rich interior of British
Columbia, can arrive at the Town of

many hundreds of miles in extent,
whose soil is fertile and well-wat-
cred, whose climate is unexcelled,
and whose natural features are such
that the important question of trans
portation is shorn of one-half its diff
ficulties.
Fort George the Center.
Laying before us a map Of the in
terror of British Columbia, and TAX
ing Fort George-the rapidly-grow-
ing metropolis--as center, we find
that we stand at a point about 45O
miles distant from Prince Rupert.

t. P. Railway to the west, and about
the same distance from the town Of

into this region that he was going
away out of civilization, but today
not one, but hundreds are passing
into that country taking with them
their wives and children, to make
their future homes.
A Coming City.
Perhaps the part before the public
most, is the new country of Fort
George, which has just been opened
up, and in less than two years will
have the Grand Trunk Pacific Rail-
way running their Pullman trains
right through on their way to the Pa
citic coast. Thus putting the interior
British Columbia in the reach of the
Atlantic and Pacific coasts. This
Fort George country has millions of
acres of some of the finest farming
land that can be got anywhere, and
only awaits the hand of the farmer
to make it produce the staff of life.
The accompanying "cuts" are of
the town of South Fort George which
is the business center for the North
ern Interior. AS the cuts will show
this new metropolis was only started
last Spring, and today it has banks,
hotels, and numerous other busi-
nesses, and it has the best water
power for lighting purposes. The
Willow River giving this city $4,000
horsepower, this will also be used
for trolly power.
Wonderful Resources.
The resources which abound in
this district are very hard for the
average man to believe. One of the
richest gold-mining regions in his
tory is the Cariboo, now connected
by survey trolley line from South
Fort George, distance of about 80
miles. There is an immense agricul-
tural area surrounding South Fort
George already surveyed and open
for pre-emption, where the settler
can go with a definite knowledge that
he will get the land he settles upon.
The soil is good, water and climate
unexcelled, and the market for crops
now and is for years will be one Of
the best on the continent. The gov
ernment of British Columbia is do
ing everything possible to get the
settler to come into this country, and
will help him every way possible.
The taxes in this part of the country
are almost nothing, so there are
chances there, which cannot be
equalled anywhere in America.
There are about eight railways sur
yeyed, chartered or in some way
definitely planned for this northern
Interior, and the topography is such
that they are compelled to go by way
Of South Fort George. There are
over 1000 miles of navigable water
ways in this interior region. These
waterways have no equal, and there
fore the town Of South Fort George
is the logical place where rail and
water meet"

A word of advice to the investor,
that is be very careful from whom
you buy land, as there are quite a
few companies selling the land that
have absolutely no standing.

also the expense:
Portland to Vancouver, B. c., fare,
$40.
Vancouver to Ashcroft, B. c., fare,

An Unknown Empire.
Among the many surprises which
the Dominion of Canada has given to
the world during the past 40 years,
not the least is contained in that
vast area of productive territory
which constitutes the interior of
British Columbia, and which is now
traversed by the surveyed route of

mountain ranges. 1t is true that
from time to time, trappers and pros
pectors spoke of the vast areas Of
plateau land suitable for stock-rais-
ing and agriculture, well-watered and
well-timbered, which they had ira
versed in their lonely wanderings.
But such narratives were heard with
Indifference or incredulity, and it was
not until the growth of Canada and
the spread of population in the west
ern provinces rendered necessary
the construction of a second trans
continental railway through the CEN
trail and northern part of the Domin-
ion, that intelligent attention began
to be paid to the section of British

Agriculture is and always must be
the backbone Of country, but, in
cases where the agricultural area Is
of SO vast an extent as Is the region
now under discussion, industrial de-
yelopment--as distinct from purely
agricultural development-must fol-
low as a matter of course, If the
country Is to attain its full measure
of prosperity. And here again the
interior of British Columbia is ex-
ceptionally favored, as will be seen
by a brief glance at her resources In
mineral and other lines.

Here Is new way to make apple

housewife, for it is not necessary to
have whole apples, and the juice cannot
run out and burn as with apple dump

Some time ago began the use OF
your Swamp-Root with the most re-
markable results. F'or years was all
most a wreck and was a great suffer-
er. The doctors who treated me made
me believe that my great suffAringP
were due to female trouble. I was
so bad at times would faint away and
had sinking spells. Finally n new
doctor was called in and he said that
had kidney trouble and gave me
medicine. of which 1 took several bot
ties. I obtained some relief from this
but I was getting weaker all the time;
I could not sleep and suffered so much
pain that my husband and children
had to lift me in and out of bed. Az
ter this time two friends sent me word
to try Swamp-Root. which did. and
1 am glad to state that the first dose
gave me great relief After taking
the third dose Itvhs helped into bed
and slept half of the night.
1 took several bottles of Swamp
Root and feel thatsI owe my life to
this wonderful remedy. The two
family doctors said that could not
live three months. would have to be
helped in and out of bed ten to TWEEN
ty times every night. After taking

days ] was entirely free from get

A telephone message was received
in Ocala Monday afternoon from
Gainesville where the annual confer
ence has been in session for the past
week, stating that both Rev. ]. B.
Ley and Rev. T. J. Nixon have been
returned to Ocala for the coming
year. This news will cause exceeding
great pleasure in this city and in re-
turning these two able men to Ocaia
Bishop Hoss showed much wisdom
and foresight.
Mr.. Ley has just completed his first
year in Ocala and it has been one of
the most successful years in the his
tory of the Methodist church in Ocala
and had Mr.. Ley not been returned
for next year it would have caused
great CONSERVATION and disappoint-
ment here.
Mr.. Nixon has been the presiding
elder of the Ocala district for the
past three years and has made the
district one of the best presiding eld-
ers that she has ever had and that he
has been returned for his fourth year
gives entire satisfaction not only in
Ocala but all over the district.
