(7.) KAMLOOPS-WALHACHIN DISTRICT. 



The lands included in this district lie along the valley of the main Thompson 

 River; the North Thompson for some distance north of Kamloops; and the East 

 Thompson to a point -beyond Ducks, on the main line of the C.P.R. to the 

 east; at an elevation of 1,000 to 1,500 feet. The land in the district suitable for 

 fruit-growing, under irrigation or irrigable, is only a small percentage of the entire 

 area, and lies principally along the valleys of the rivers and the lower valleys of 

 their tributary streams, where irrigation systems, either by gravity or pumping, 

 can be installed. 



The climate is typical of the Dry Belt, with a total precipitation of from 

 9 to 11 inches annually, evenly distributed throughout the year, the snowfall being, 

 therefore, light and not of much significance. The air is dry and sunshine is 

 plentiful and bright. In the winter there may be cold snaps, accompanied by 

 wind, which prevent the cultivation of any but hardy varieties of fruit. The 

 summer season is long and warm, bringing all varieties of fruit to a high colour 

 and quality. 



The soils are those of the Dry Belt described under the previous district, being 

 usually deep, rich, and of good texture. Gravelly areas exist, and are not suitable 

 for fruit-culture here as in any other section. There is, however, a large percentage 

 of very good soil. 



This district, having main line facilities, both on the C.P.R. and C.N.R., is 

 well adapted to serve both the Coast and the Prairies, and has so far found a
