opening up a vast territory that has become the richest agricul
tural section of the United States.
You know the fortunes that have been made by those who
were shrewd and fortunate enough to buy land in the early days
along the routes of these railroads.
You know that similar chances to secure valuable land at a
low price are exceedingly rare and fast disappearing.
You know that an opportunity to do so cannot last long and
is not to be overlooked.
You know or should that just such an opportunity is
offered to you by the construction of the Grand Trunk Pacific
Kailroad through British Columbia to Prince Rupert.
adiffnranno There is one difference, however. In
U II I ClLnUBa stead of the immense tracts of open
country and prairie tapped by the two former roads', the Grand
Trunk Pacific runs through a rough and mountainous country
nearly all the way from the eastern slope of the Rockies to the
Pacific Coast. Agricultural land along its route ia limited. But.
on the other hand, what farming land exists is exceptionally rich
and fertile, beng owned and held for sale by land companies who
have taken up all that was available and of value.
TUn fVrtim The cream of this land is contained in
I iiS W Udlili what is known as the NECHACO VAL
LEY, which lies in the middle western part of British Columbia,
between the Rocky Mountains and the Coast Range, within a hun
dred and twenty-five miles of the Pacific Ocean, just north of
Seattle.
Here the mild climate, the wonderful productivity of the soil
as evidenced by the wealth of natural vegetation, the abundant
water supply, the numerous lakes, rivers and streams, the beauty
of the landscape, the markets and assured transportation all
make of this an unsurpassed agricultural district for highly suc
cessful farming.
Government Reports: ?te2S
one of the most greatly favored by Nature in the whole of the
Province The Nechaco, with its level valleys and rich
deposit, offers special inducements to farmers. Its advantages
are many; the land is level; the soil is rich; and to a great extent
open; the climate is mild; the principal crops can be grown with
out trouble; and the general altitude is much lower than that of
the surrounding country.' Extract from Government Report.

NEWARK, N. J., Dec' 20,-Two aged

were found dead today In their home here.
Tho sisters had lived alono for twenty
years In the same house. Their source of

made fast I above a door.- A small box
waa found In tho dinln.? room, on the

words-
'Frances hung herself at 1:30 Saturday'.
Me too."
This "ed to the belief that the two old
women had carried out a sulcldo pact,
Frrnces hanging herself first and the
body being cut down by the sister. But
further Investigation brought to light more
gruesome tales. Underneath her clothing

free from sand, gravel, stone and alkali. With even a minimum
amount of cultivation and care this land can be made to yield
diversified crops the equal of, if not superior to, those grown in
any of the most favored parts of the continent.
"The soil everywhere is of the richest quality. It is composed
of fine deposit soil with clay sub-soil; in some parts the deposit
attains a thickness of over forty feet. Not only is the grass very
luxuriant on the prairies, but even in the wooded portions pea
vines and vetches of different species grow to such a height that
it renders traveling very difficult." Extract from Government
Report.
I or ttfi Prn While, prior to the coming of the
Lalg6 UlOpSi Grand Trunk Pacific, comparatively
little farming has been carried on, this has been due solely to the
lack of transportation facilities. Had it not been for this draw
back these lands would have been settled and cultivated long
before much of the country further east, as they are much super
ior in every way. Yet,' in the face of this difficulty, large crops
of grain and vegetables have been raised, crops that would com
pare favorably with those from any part of the country. !

Lower Nechaco as constituting the greatest connected region sus

summer fall and winter the year through the climate is all you
could ask, for health, for comfort, for the raising of a wide variety
of crops.
The moderate and even climate of this valley is due in part to
the protection given by the surrounding hills, the remoteness from
snowclad mountains, the nearness to the Pacific, and the fact
that the intervening section, between the Nechaco Valley and the
ocean, has a lower altitude than any of the surrounding country.

At the Theaters
"The Virginian" at the Boyd.
A play, In four acts by Owen Wlster and
Kirk LaShelle. " The principals:

Honey Wiggle. .'...John C. Hiekey
Sponlsh Ed , Charles Gilbert

Mrs. Hewie , Eleanor Wilton
There is evidently no diminution of In
tel est in "The Virginian," and those who
go now to see the Wyoming play are plainly
as deeply Interested as audiences of past
years in the courtship of Molly Wood by
tle man whose name is never spoken. As
evidenced yesterday, the mixing up of the
babies Is as mirth-provoking as it used to
be and the Judge Lynch act and the duel
scene are as productive ot as much tension
as before. , . i
While the play gives these evidences of
continued hear'ty i;fe, It may nut do so when
ll falls Into the hands of an inefficient
coiT.pany. This catastrophe has not as yet
occurred, for it- Is now being played by a
troupe of even excellence.
Mr. Gibson Is highly satisfactory In the
leading role. His playing Is considerably
more convincing In the more serious pas
sages than In the few lighter moments,
but he Is not Inadequate at that In the not
numerous oomedy lines which fall to him.
Except by the caramel contingent, the
character of Trampas la held as much
worth while ft that of tho Virginian him
self. Consequently as much depends upon '
the casting of this part as the other. Mar
shall Farnum has Indeed an even heavier
task than the other player, for the reason
that there is a general unanimity that of
the two well-known actors who previously
played these parts, the man seen as
Trampas excelled the actor of the Vir
ginian. Up to this difficult standard, Marshall
Farnum measured well. His Trampas Is
an ugly, malevolent brute, docsedly mean,
a character Intensely positive In Its vlclous
ness. Only In respect to the shading of a
hint of cowardice in the character does he
tall short of the ' great achievement of
Frank Campeau In this part.
There have oen a good many Molly
Woods and MIks Wright Is equal to any of
her predecessors in a role not remarkably
thankful. The school ma'am of the play U
not given a really great deal to do besides
being sweet, pretty and sympathetic. The
minor parts are well filled throughout. The
Spanish Ed of Charles R. Gilbert Is par
ticularly well done. "The Virginian" will

"The Candy Kid" at the Krngr.
A rapid series of contrasts, melodrama,
desperadoes, heroes, heroines and villainy,
then a bit of blithesome song, Jocularity,
I lquant femininity and sauclness, that Is the
"Candy Kid."
' Now in pursuit of a deep-laid plot, now
engaged In the frivolity of a playful chorus,
the production rambles on, generally Inter
esting, frequently laughable. The plot con
cerns itself In a timely- sort of way with
the troubles of a South American republic,
whose revolutionists extend their opera
tions Into the love affairs of Eddy Edson,
the "Candy Kid" of Tale, played by Ray
mond Payne, who acquits himself well and
with plenty of dash. He Just has a Jot of
fun being a cutup and a serious hero, too.
Wanda Ludlow, as Bonnie Bosworth, is
pretty and charming for herself alone. She
is altogether pleasing in her experience of
being kidnapped by conspiring villains, and
in the rescue in deliclousty Impossible ways
by the hero.
The note of tragedy seems to be done to
the limit. If not a bit over, but it at least
serves to throw up snarpiy tne more
worthy comedy of the production.
The chorus is better than the average
and there is some neatly good dancing,
with plenty of costumes and sprightly mu
sic. "The Gay

This outfit Is gay, all right; the masque
rading part Is not so well borne out. To
mask one Is expected to put on something,
and about all these gay young persons put
on Is a bit of rouge and some rice powder,
which Is quite easily seen through. But
as none of the girls is eligible to entry at
a home for the aged, the management need
not apologize for what is shown. And the
proceedings are snappy and so full of ac
tion that something worth watching Is In
progress all the time. The fun is of the
knockabout order, and goes with a whoop,
while the songs and choruses, the marching
and dancing, are all given with a vim. One
girl, whose Identity is not disclosed by the
program, does a buck and wing dance In
a way to win several recalls, and another,
equally concealed, contributes a bit of vio

proves popular. The company abounds with
