Hazel and Bill Wagstaff drift from Hazelton to the Cariboo frontier after a gold fortune and a letter from Loraine Marsh. They return to their pine cabin and encounter Bavarian settler Lauer and his wife Gretchen, a glimpse of frontier grit, hope, and a new neighborly life in a vast, unsettled land.
In Granville Hazel enjoys wealth and social ascent while Bill grows wary of the circle and longs for stability away from the social maze. He muses on Jake Lauer’s grit and considers real work over idle privilege as they plan a New York trip before settling life in the North. Their fortunes rise as social ice thaws around them.
An article extols Western Canada soil for strong crops and rising settler interest. It notes soil rich in lime, potash, phosphorus and nitrogen, plus organic matter and good structure. Examples cite farmers boosting incomes from 500 to 30000 in two seasons and sizable land acquisitions. The piece highlights influx through Calgary, Moose Jaw, Regina and other gateways, predicting increased food production for the world.
