OLDFIELD & GARDNER
Choice City and Farm

Oldfeld & Gardner a firm which has
been prominent in Winnipeg business
circles for years, is one of the most en-
terprising firms in the business to-day.
Realty is its speciality, first, last and al
ways, and during the past two years it
has handled a vast quantity of land. both
city and country, improved and wild.
The firm has an immense business in
Winnipeg itself where it has long enjoyed
an enviable reputation as managers Of
estates, collection Of rentals and the ne
gotiation of loans. j. H: Oldfield, senior
member of the firm, succeeded to the bust
ness of s.. A Rowlottham & Co., which
had been established in 1878, and since
the reorganization, which took place over
a dozen years ago, the business has gone
on with steady and rapid increase. III
the city 1t controls many Of the choicest
pieces of business, residential and subur-
ban property at present on the market,
and In selection has probably the largest
list in the city.
In farm property the firm is also rich.
In the districts adjoining the city of Win
nipeg and in such favored districts as the
Portage and Nekowa plains many of the
finest farms in the province appear on
the list. These farms are all highly i'm
proved and are in districts where one can
live with all reasonable comfort. The
firm has also two tracts of splendid wild
land, located in the territories just over
the northwest boundary of the province
All the land is the very best wheat rails
ing soil, and at present the line of the
Canadian Northern railway is building
thru y the section. When the line goes

! The Haslam Land company with its
head offices in st. Paul, has during the
past two years been an important facto.
in the great land movement in Manitoba
and the west. While it has not yet been
in existence longer than that period. It
was largely due to the energy and fore
sight Of Mr.. Haslam that the attention
of American investors became directed to
the Canadian west, and under his direc-
ton many, not only capitalists, but actual
settlers, made their first acquaintance with
the west.
Z During the first year Of the existence
of the firm its operations were almost
entirely confined to farm property, and
many Of the largest sales registered were
put through by the pair. More recent
~, however, the company has turned its
attention to city real estate. and in Its
handsome suite of offices in the Mer-

market. The company has listed some o!

and suburbs and reports a brisk demand.
The department for the handling o.

this spring has effected many transfers.

1t IS no Idle 1attery or meaningless
compliment to call Winnipeg the Chicago
of Canada AS Chicago is the great city
the great city Of the Canadian west. It
is far cry from Winnipeg's $4,000 people
to Chicago's 100000 and Winnipeg will
probably never be SO large city as Chi
cago. But even as Chicago is the center
and dominant city of the American west,
so will Winnipeg continue to be In Canada.
The entire railway system Of western
Canada radiates from Winnipeg, and it
| now has such hold on the routes Of COM
merce that even such road as the Grand
| Trunk Pacific, planned for route con-
stderably north of Winnipeg, has had to
| change it's plans. The fact that Chicago
is on the great lakes while. Winnipeg is
far removed from them, does not greatly
alter the case. If Port Arthur and Fort
! William, on Lake Superior, were sur
rounded by a splendid agricultural coun-
try, as Chicago is the primacy among the
western cities Of Canada might go to
them as against Winnipeg, because of
|
water power. But after leaving those
ports whether on the Canadian Northern
or the Canadian Pacific, the traveller
passes for upwards of 800 miles thru a
1 region that can never be great agricul-
tural country. Winnipeg is at the door
way of the immense agricultural area Of
the Canadian west

do but little manufacturing compared to
it's distributing business, but it must not
be forgotten that it will be only a few
years, as the lives Of nations are meas
ured, until western Canada will be by
i far the most popuous part Of Canada.

ABUNDANT CROPS OF WESTERN CANADA

The year 1901 was the turning year in
the history Of western Canada. The inn
mense crop Of that year, about 6O,OOOOO
bushels of wheat from considerably less
than 100000 acres attracted the atten-
ton Of the world Then, for the first time
Canadian wheat began to cut a figure in
the markets Of the world The past year,
coming on with an even larger crop on an
acreage not much larger, further directed
attention to western Canada. It was plain
to the most careless that a country that
could raise two such crops Of splendid
hard wheat was not just south Of the north
pole or mostly winter. The crop Of 1901
gave tremendous squirt to the population
movement Of 1902, and the immense crop
OF 1902, with Its average Of more than 81
bushels Of wheat to the acre, has greatly
stimulated the immigration this year. The
Manitoba crops of wheat, oats, barley, fax
rye and peas for 1901, 1902 and 1891 are
given below.

states named during the last two decades.
