Land Will Never
Be Any Cheaper

Wherever you may be located who read this,
matter how high priced the land in your locality
today, it was cheap it is cheap in
the Saskatchewan Valley And just sure land
in your locality cheap this, SO will
this day be as dear as that now is. Such has
been the history of every old settled state in the
Union-such is the already partially written history
of Minnesota. All of Iowa, Wisconsin and Mime
sofa and much of Illinois give their testimony of
cheap lands within the memory of even the middle
aged man. As the tide of Empire has taken its
way westward, so has the tide of high prices for
land accompanied. 1t is SO plain that che who
may read.
Cheap lands always advance greater per cent
the nvestm ent in given time than dearer lands,
for the reason that they within the reach Of
greater number Of pocketbooks and hence in greater
demand.
Land advances about many dollars an acre
in given number of years up to certain limit; the
more acres you buy the you will have growing
and the cheaper the price the acres you can
buy. Hence, the cheaper land you buy the greater
the per cent of profit your investment
Four dollar an acre land can quickly reach
So 90, making per cent to the purchaser but it
takes longer for So 90 land to reach $1,000 and
still longer for sI6 land to reach $32 co. and so
as you go up the scale.

Something to Show
For Your Money!

Millions of money have been made by men of
foresight and independent judgment who invested
in the cheap lands of Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin and
Minnesota. Just sure are there millions of I'M
made money in store for those who invest in the
cheap lands of the Saskatchewan Valley The man
OF independent judgment and intelligent foresight
who buys before his neighbor is convinced, is the
man who will make the best money He who waits
until his neghbor, and his neighbours neighbor and
his own and their friends, are convinced will buy
in competition with them (for they will all one day
be convinced); but he who buys now will in short
time sell to his neighbor and friend at handsome
profit.
Investments in lands are absolutely the safest
investment made for the reason that in and of
itself land is absolutely indestructible. You are
sure always to have something to show for your
investment Moreover, it is not possible for any
Syndicate, corporation, combination Of stock
jobbers or other class of professional manipulators
OF markets, to fix or in any manner or measure con.
troll the price OF land 1t is fixed in amount and no
combination Of men can affect or disturb it.
Nor they rob it of its value. 1t can not be
voted up today and down tomorrow as are stocks
on the exchange but must of necessity advance in
price, as the years go by and the population of the
country increases.

work than there is around Saskatoon
at the present time. The land is first

tanned and of good. pure quality
For mixed farming and stock-raising
there is none better. I have raised
seventeen crops of wheat and never
had but one fail to any material ex-
tent, and that one was in the early
days when we were green in the
Northwest and had poor tools for cul-
tivating the land properly. / have
been able to raise the common tender
sorts of garden vegetables, and my
success with tree planting is all that
/ could desire. When came here it
was before the days of railroads and
markets and churches and schools
and postofices. We have all these

ton, and in nowiSe differ from the
