Q The time for dividing the MKKON in the Similkameen has come at last. M For many long years the vast mineral richness of Gold, Copper, Silver, Coal, Platinum and other econ- X OOlic minerals has been developed, and for over 30 years 30,000 to 40,000 acres ofthe choicest fruit land in the 09 Dominion has lain dormant or been given over to cattle grazing, simply waiting the entrance of railway to Q make it the most noted fruit producing district in Canada and one of the greatest mineral zones in the World.

"Jim Hill's" Coast-Kootenay Railway is now here and being pushed to the Coast giving the valley a short, direct all-rail route to Coast and Prairie markets. The opportunity for home making and profit taking is now ripe.—Will you seize it, or let it slip by? X
