UILD BIG PAPER MILL TO FARM and Naas Valleys has Tell.—Says the Rich and Recently back from a trip to the Lakelse and River valleys Mr. L. Seaman of Seaman & Cole, has a lot of things to say that a lot of people ought to know. Mr. Seaman is worth listening to on topics connected with land and development for in his varied career he has spent several years in active farming work. A Great Hinterland “The man who says that Prince Rupert has nothing behind her, doesn’t know anything of what he talking about,’’ he declared with emphasis. ‘‘Prince Rupert has land of the very best and richest kind behind her, that will bring fortunes to the men who work them. I knew something of what the land was before.I went up on my lest trip, but my last trip was a revelation tome. I saw land up there in the Naas that was level and drained and had hardly a tree on it to clear. I saw and growing wild. I saw some of the| most beautiful scenery that it is possible for the eye to see.”’ River Trip Deceptive The trip up the Skeena by rail Mr 1s acres for land. “On the acres of .the finest berries | NEED MARRIED SETTLERS UP THE RIVER Mr. L.

The Fraser and the Columbia have a similar character.” Want Married Settlers “What is needed most of ail is a lot of married settlers,” he said. ‘‘Many of the pre-emptors are singk fellows. They stay in their cabins on the land all winter, and in the summer, in- stead of staying and working the land, they go off to work on the roads or in the camps. A married man will stay with his family on the land and make it pay.” As illustration of what he means, Mr. Seamen told of visiting a pre- emption a few miles from Brecken- bridges Landirg where three 2nd a half acres were in -strawberries. “IT have lived in the Garden of Eden district of Weshington but |never saw berries like these,” he “but insteed of marketing them the owrer wes away in a ;camp up the river. Those straw- berries are worth $3,500, but in- stead of marketing them, they iwere left to rot in the sun.
