artery OF tlade OF Canada, has achieved
much In the developing and colonizing Of
the choice land areas iii Manitoba, ASSN
1boia, Saskatchewan and Alberta. This
great railway has millions Of acres of
choice farming lands in these sections for
sale. T.. g. Griffin, land commissioner of
the Canadian Pacific, by reason of his long
residence and experience in the west, is
thoroughly familiar with all phases Of the
land business, and is one of the best in
formed men on values and land conditions
in all Canada. 81 .ss Is.
This season Mr.. Griffin is having the
busiest time that he has ever had in con-
nection with the Canadian Pacific lands.
There has never been SO many inquiries
for land nor SO many actual settlements
The very best class Of settlers are com
Ing from widely diverging regions in. Can
ada and the United States. and from many
old world countries, where colonization
projects are In different stages of forr1a-
ton In fact the movement this spring
has already surpassed anything that the
Canadian northwest has ever seen, and al
most anything that it has ever dreamed
OF. The movement started last winter,
and has been steady and unceasng ever
since. Many transfers have been made
and many settlers have found the desired
lands they we're looking for
The policy adopted by the Canadian Pa
CHIC has been to make sales Of land to
mere spectators. The chief object has
been to people the country with a sturdy
and thrifty class of settlers and to build
up solidly all the domain tributary to the
Canadian Pacific lines The men who are
settling there are pioneers of the right
sort-the strenuous kind, who have not
undertaken development of the rich Can
ad1an lands without a fair survey Of all
the phases Of this settlement. The new
blood that: has come in from the south
and from the eastern section of Canada.
| Is nearly in every instance of the right
sort. Many of these people have pioneered
before and they know what they want and
what to do; what to bring with them and
| when to come.
The Splendid Crops
It is a great year for all western Can
ada, and the remote district of the prov
1nces penetrated by the Canadian Pacific
are feeling this movement as never before.
The splendid uniform crops of 1902 has
set men not only to thinking but to act
Ing upon the Unparalleled opportunities
that are to be found in western Canada.
There is a chance Of a life time here,
and men Of courage and enterprise APP
preciate 1t, and are going to settle
Inese summer months are the best for
moving about the country, sizing up the
land and settling. The agriculturist may,

of himself and family during the first
year. Or, again, if the AGRICULTURAL men

he will find himself In great demand, and
will receive high wages for his services
during the harvest months. He will have

as Now Is the Time.
There never was a more favorable time
| TO visit the great agricultural land in
western Canada than now. Pioneering, il
one may call it SOILS not the serious bust
ness attended With dangers as it was a
score of years ago. Results are speedy
and certain.5As much can be accomplished
In i've years now as in twenty years in
| the early times. The railways are the
advanced guard, and hardships are not tc
be compared with what they were a quar-
ter of a century ago.

regions that are as yet untouched and
from which newcomers can make selec.
lions that will not fail them. The most
Of these are as yet unprovided with close
railway facilities, but new lines are con.
stantly being projected under the stimulus
Of. the immense immigration and all re-
| qu1rements for a new settler will be
made. Many hundreds of new miles OF
railway are now being put in readiness fol-
operation this year. This means much tc
new settlers in western Canada.
The Place to Locate.
Where to locate is a question that car
only be decided by the individual himself
There is hardly a part Of these provinces
that has not inducements, and the best
plan, to pursue is to be guided by the ad-
vices of government and Canadian Pa
| cific Railway agents, who will be willing
to give newcomers. much valuable infor-
nation and. save them considerable trou-
BILE. The Canadian Pacific Railway has
an immense amount of land to dispose of
| and this land can be purchased at very
reasonable prices with a considerable
length of time given for payment Liberia
discounts are allowed for cash. Manitoba
lands and Assiniboia lands east of the
third meridian can be secured at prices
ranging from So to $40 per acre. Lands
west of the third meridian, from IS to Sc
per acre. Maps showing the land in de-
tail will be sent free to those writing tt
