A NEW LAND
OF PROMISE
Western Canada Beats ALI
Records for Money Made
by Quick Growth.

The world is rather old place for
anything new to happen in, but out IN
Western Canada there is a wonderful
condition of affairs which could not
have existed in any other than this
modern year of 1911.
other new countries have been de-
, veloped before. but with comparative
slowness because the railroads have
been slow to extend their lines but in
/ Canada things are not done that way
When they once start they never stop
until the job is done and the tremen-
dous energy and wealth of the people
drive every project through with al
most increditable speed
| Consider the new Grand Trunk
Pacific Railroad. which Is almost liter
ally stalking across Canada with sew
n-league boots. Begun only short
time ago, it has fairly leaped forward
| until now it is all completed except the
last four hundred miles. Grading
camps are rapidly pushing on toward
Fort Fraser which is destined to be
one Of the largest cities in this rich
territory.
| Everything points to an even greater
development here than in Calgary,
which. a few years ago. was opened up
by the Canadian Pacific Railway and
now has 10000 people-and original
500 TO $500 lots are now worth from
$1,000 to $4,000
| Fort Fraser gives every indication
of starting out to make a new record
! in the rise OF land values. It's SPLEEN
| did location on the new railroad in the
center of vast rich territory and
| bounded on two sides by a big naviga
Bile river and gives it every natural ad-
vantage necessary to quick growth.
But so fast do things move that few
people yet realize what tremendous op-
portunities confront them in this future
great city. Lots there can be bought
now from $3.50 to 5000 and up on easy
terms of 10 per cent down and pei
cent a month. with the splendid chanc,
that they will double or triple in value
before the last payment is due. No IN
terest is charged, or taxes, until lot.
are fully paid for. The British Column
bia Government guarantees the titles
As soon as the news about Fort Fra
ser becomes known. there will be
rush for lots. and prices will bound up
ward. And when the railroad comes
as it must undo rcontract In 1913 an,
probably viii much sooner-values will
go ky-hfgh. and If you own one o
| these lots it should make you a It'd
fortune.

The No / plate mill has received a

The various North End mills are all

time and all kinds of plate and struc-

1t is generally conceded at the steel

hearth after long period Of inactivity
is indicative of something important,
and among other things a plentiful
supply of orders for the department Is
