PRINCE RUPERT’S FUTURE Is Attracting the Attention of The delegation consisted of Eastern Manufacturers Vancouver, Sept. 29.—One of the largest land deals in the province during the present year has just been completed in the sale of about 50,000 acres inland from Bella Coola to Mr. F. A. Mott, mayor of Oakland, and the man who is regarded as likely to be the next governor of Califor- nia. The vendors were the Brit- ish Columbian Colonization Syn- dicate, which owns a large tract of land about 135 miles north- east of Bella Coola. Mayor Mott, his office man- ager, Mr. Frank Smith; Mr. C, E. Wood of Wenatchee, Wash., and Mr. G. J. Lovell of Winnipeg, who represented the syndicate, left for the north a few weeks ago to inspect the property. They have just returned. It is under- stood that Mr. Mott will add largely to his holdings in the near future. In speaking of the trip at the Hotel Vancouver last evening, Mr. Lovell said it took them a whole week to make the journey from Bella Coola to the property.

The distance was much less as the crow flies. Part of the trip was over the famous “Zigzag” trail which winds along the side of Atnarco Valley. “This part of the province is sure to become a great agricul- tural and grazing district once it is opened up by roads and rail- way,” he continued. “The gov- ernment road of thirty miles is in good shape, but the trails are, in places, almost impassible. Transportation facilities —_ will mean the development of the in- terior. The soil is rich and ex- cellent mixed crops could be grown. The government should press ahead with building roads because of necessity highways must precede settlement. “Mr. Mott's idea is to send settlers up to his holdings and locate them there, as he believes that the district offers splendid agricultural possibilities. The land will be divided into small holdings and sold cheaply to bona fide settlers.
