Island and the remainder are
looking into the prospects and
possibilities,

The former gentleman is con-

nected with the Star Realty Co.,

of Vancouver, who are the fiseal
agents for the Graham Island
Settlement Co., Lid. The latter
company have large land inter-
ests on Masset Inlet, about 20

miles from the village of Masset.
Up to the present fifteen settlers
have taken up land and it is ex-
pected that the number will be
rapidly inereased. The company
have recently built a sawmill at
Sewall, a townsite they are put-
ting on the market, and are
clearing land for a hotel . and
boarding houses for the men who
will be employed there. A con-
tract for 5000 telegraph poles
for shipment to Panama, which
the company recently secured,
will give employment to a large
number of men. A good deal of
work is also being done on roads
and trails.

Mr. Hosom, represents the Ho-
som Land Syndicate of Seattle,
owning 30,000 acres of land west
of Naden Harbor. He has visit-
ed Graham Island a number of
times during the past four years
and has remarkable faith in its
possibilities and future develop-
ment. It is his intention to es-
tablish at onee an experimental
station for the purpose of de-
monstrating the suitability of
the soil and climate for differ-
ent varieties of grasses, grains,
vegetables and fruits. He is
taking over with him a supply
of seeds which will be given a
fair test this season. Four men
are permanently employed look-
ine after the experimenial work.

Both Mr. Sewall and Mr. Hos-
om state that the farmers of
Graham Island are bearty sup-

porters of the coming exhibition
to be held at Prince Rupert this
fall. They are at present con-
sidering the advisability of hold-
ing an exhibition at some
on the northern end of the
lad just prior to the Prince Ru-
pert fair with the idea of bring-
ing the entire exhibit here for
the latter event As an induce-
ment towards the holding of
such an event on the Island the
Hosom Land Syndieate have ex-
pressed their willingness to con-
tribute substantial support to be
applied as premiums for the best
cleared acre and the best 500
foot drain diteh, both to be 1943
