AVhy will Telkwa be the real Spokane of British
Columbia? What will make it grow? What will cause
its prosperity? It is located inland about 300 miles
east of Prince Rupert, on the Grand Trunk Pacific
Railway, in Central British Columbia. Just the right
distance inland from the coast for a city the size of
Spokane. Telkwa, the beautiful, has the finest strat
egic location for a commercial center of any town in
the interior of British Columbia--ra beautiful townsite,
at the junction of Bulkley and Telkwa Rivers in the
Bulkley Valley. Wild fruit, fish and game in abun
dance. Rich soil, fine climate, pure drinking water,
no irrigation, Summer rains. It is surrounded by more
natural resources than Spokane. Telkwa is but the
key to the vast treasure boxes of the surrounding ter
ritory. The Inland Empire is the name given to the
rich area, the development of which will give Telkwa
a large population, serving as it will as the trading
point and business center. This empire contains
millions of acres of the best farm land on the Amer
ican Continent. The COAL DEPOSITS DIRECTLY
ADJOINING TELKWA are practically inexhaustible,
being of the best grades of bituminous and semi
anthracite coaL The G. T. P. Ry. has purchased 17,000
acres of these choice coal lands. The Cassiar Coal &
Development Co. owns approximately 33,000 acres,
which will be developed when the railroad is com
pleted. Other companies are rapidly securing posses
sion of these valuable coal" lands. In addition to the
coal deposits the BABLNE, HUDSON BAY AND
TELKWA MOUNTAIN RANGES WILL BE TO'
TELKWA WHAT THE COEUR D'ALENES HAVE
BEEN TO SPOKANE. These mountain ranges are
tremendously rich with precious metals, such as lead,
silver, copper and gold. The next great mining excite
ment and stampede will be to the Bab'ine and Hudson
Bay Mountains. The above resources, taken with the
timber, water power, manufacturing and Telkwa 's great
possibilities as a commercial center and distributing
point for the northern and interior countries, are the
leading elements which will give to Telkwa a pay roll
which will defy "hard times," and in all of these there
is room for wonderful development. Other localities
may claim all the railroads, but do not allow any one
to lead you to believe that, railroads, other than the G.
T. P. Ry., coming into British Columbia, are not going
to invade this country. It is the natural resources in
your locality that bring railroads and build cities.
Telkwa is not a townsite with a prospect of being. a
town some day. To buy real estate in such a place is
throwing jrour money away. Telkwa right now is a
real, live, established., growing town, with no equal
inland on the line of the Grand Trunk Pacific Ry. In
this busy town is a well-managed hotel, with bath
rooms; a general store, government telegraph station,
butcher shop, blacksmith shop, warehouses, laundry,
real estate and land office, deputy mining recorder's
office and a number of residences. By Spring a lumber
mill and brickyard will be built in Telkwa. This is
surely a remarkable record' for a town but two years
old, and she is growing every minute, notwithstanding
the railroad is not yet completed. Is there any wonder
that Telkwa, with its Inland Empire, will continue to
grow and that its fame will call aloud, to all who wish
to come and share in the development of such riches?
Telkwa offers 1000 per cent or more profit in the next
two years on investments in business and residence
lots. It offers openings in every line of business.
-Beautiful Telkwa wants you; you want beautiful
Telkwa, Do not allow your backbone to be a wish
bone. Don't continue to live in the suburbs paying
rent, at the same time telling your neighbors and chil
dren what you might have made if you had only in
vested in Portland, Spokane or some other place, when
you had a chance to get in on the ground floor. Some
people could not see a flock of elephants coming down
, Washington street. If you are ever going to make good,
. start today. You are lucky to have one more real good
chance you are not going to have these big chances
much longer, r You might just as well be living back
East if you are not going to take advantage of oppor
tunities the West offers for investment. Come in and
let us tell you all about Telkwa and its wonderful pos
sibilities. Come today and get close-in lots. There will
be a big rush for these lots by Portland's shrewdest
business men. Do not keep just two jumps behind the
rabbit all of the time. If your wife is the business end
of the family, bring her with you. Look ahead! Think
a little!- Try and realize what beautiful Telkwa will
be next year and the year after. For once in your life
make one real good investment in a coming city,
through responsible people. Don't delay. Indecision
is the death of ambition. Come today. Open evenings.
Only 600 Lots

will be held until rail
road is completed and
sold at much higher
prices. Secure your
lots as early as pos
sible and get close in.
