====================================================

                                    20,000 ACRES

of the very pick of the selected lands in the beautiful Kootenay Valley, East

Kootenay, B.C., extending from Canal Flat to Elko, are offered for sale at

from $3 to $10 per acre.

            The Kootenay Valley is of Unsurpassed Fertility, Matchless

Climate and the Most Picturesque Situation West of the Rocky Mountains.

            The lands present every feature of usefulness, including timbered

benches, brushy flats, marsh, prairie and meadow.  The brushy flats, marsh and

meadow lands consist of deep, black loam; the bench land being a sandy loam,

splendidly adapted for fruit culture.  Where irrigation may be necessary on the

benches, water can be had from the mountain creeks flowing from the Rockies

into the Kootenay river.  The lands are fully surveyed and some of the lots have

been sub-divided into fenced farms of about 80 acres each.

            The purchase price will include the timber, which can be sold by the

purchaser without any liability to government or other royalty.  The timber will

in many cases more than realize the purchase price, and will in all cases materially

recoup the amount invested.  Logs can be driven on the Kootenay river, which

touches every lot save one.  The main wagon road through the valley passes over

or close to each lot, and the proposed Kootenay Central railway will parallel the

wagon road.  The C.P.R. is quite convenient to the lands.
