A LITTLE AMERICA
Purchase So Large AS to!DeserXe That
Designation-A Successfully ndentakIng.

The Saskatchewan Valley Land Company
Purchase So Large AS to Deserve That
Designation-A Successfuis'U Undertaking.
When the Saskatchewan Valley Land
company took special train, full of Amer
leans, up to look at it's newly purchased
imperial domain last June, most Of the
guests regarded the work Of selling off
more than 10000 900 acres Of land in AS
s1niboia and Saskatchewan as the toccupa-
ton Of active and shrewd men for years
to come. They never dreamed that with
in four months almost the whole of this
immense purchase would have changed
hands again. But that is what has hap
pened. The Saskatchewan Land company
did not buy 100000 acres merely to
amaze the world, merely to hold for
the mere pleasure of looking at, merely
for the satisfaction of having title to SO
large a part of the worlds limited agri-
cultural land. It bought it to sell, to
earn profits for itself, to provide cheap
homes for thousands, to take a. powerful
part in the work Of planting the hitherto
lonely Canadian west with hundreds of
American families. --:- ..1Es,
Riding along the main line Of the Cana
dian Pacific Railway and the Qu'Appelle,
Long Lake and Saskatchewan railway for
about $50 miles the traveller will always be
in sight of or near to the fertile lands of
this company. They We're picked from a
grant Of 100000 acres and are therefore
the best, in a splendid agricultural coun-
try. They are we'll supplied with rail-
ways. They are well watered. They are
drained into the great Saskatchewan riv-
err, and they make big splash on the map
Of Assiniboia and Saskatchewan. They
are ideal lands for stock raising and gen.
eral farming The climate Is magnificent.
The price of the lands makes them open to
the poorest.
All Of the companys operations have
been on a scale commensurate with the
impressive vastness of it's original pur-
chase. 1t has spent money lavishly, yet
economically, in advertising, 1t has never
lost dollar saving cent. 1t spent thou
sands of dollars for a special train to show
| the country to capitalists and made sales
on the train that paid for the cost and
| left much besides. In consequence Of this
| colossal method of doing business, the
company finds itself now with most of its
| lands disposed of in large and small tracts
| Next year 1900 American families Will be
settled on lands sold by the company.
! 1t has found patrons In Minnesota
| Iowa, Wisconsin and Illinois. 1t was one
of the companies that took advantage Of
| the Illinois State Fair to advertise itself
and it's lands.
The progressive Americans who make
| up this company take the view that since
the rapid development and population Of
western Canada is now inevitable it were
better to have it done by Americans thar
by others. They don't believe in trying
to stop a locomotive by sitting on thu
track. They think 1t better to get ABOARD
the train and take charge.

First skirmsh In a Big Legal Battle Due
: = at Sioux Falls.
SIOUX FALLS, S. D.-The first pre-
liminary skirnish over the money left
by the late w. S. ("Corn') Jones took
place yesterday when H. w. Subera, the
special administrator, attempted to get
possession of the estate. Miss Nellie
Jones. niece of jones' who had been his
housekeeper for about year, is the Gus
todian OF notes. mortgages and other
papers. When the special administrator
demanded that these be turned over to
him, he was met with the statement
that the notes and mortgages and the
money Of the deceased in bank were her
personal property, she asserting they had
been given to her by her uncle before his
death.
+ The special administrator then appeared
in the probate court and secured an order
on Miss Jones for her to surrender the
papers. Before this order could be served
the attorney for Miss Jones appeared in
the same court and set up the claim that
it had no authority to issue such an or
der, holding that the proper way for the
administrator to proceed was through an
action in the circuit court. Probate
Judge Bailey took the same view of the
matter and revoked the former order.
This leaves the papers in the possession
Of the niece.
AS matters stand there is a three-cor-
nered fight in prospect. Isaac Jones and
the niece, Nellie Jones, seem to have
pooled their issues and retained the same
counsel. The administrator and others
mentioned.in the will have retained coun-
sci together, while Lewis Jones and Ezma
Jones, son and daughter Of the dead man,
who received by the will $1,000 and $500
respectively, are in the city and have been
closeted with still another law firm.

to between $4,000 and $50, O0O - ' =
