THE BRITISH LAND COMPANY
OF WINNIPEG.

The British Land Company of Winnipeg ls4
composed of successful western old timers.
and it has directorate and staff of energetic
men, every of whom is well known and
well acquainted with the great western coun-
try. Few have travelled the west so ex-
tensively as it's president, Aid. Barclay, or It's
managing director, J. 1nkster, who in 8
capacity as consulting mining engineer, has
travelled over every part Of the west and Brit
ish Columbia.
This company has good connections thruout
the province and the North West Territories, and
it has on Its lists some excellent blocks of land,
well located, varying in area from 10000 to 1O0,-
900 acres. It also offers improved farms, large
and small for sale at prices phch at present
are very reasonable. Some of the farms listed
gave crops of wheat last year which would have
been considered heavy had the grain been oats
and given similar yield.
It's list of unimproved lands is one of the
best that can be seen in Winnipeg or the west,
as they are located almost exclusively in the
best wheat growing and mixed farming dis
tricts, and the company has many at low prices
in districts already fairly well settled and con-
veniently situated
The British Land company deals extensively
in city property, having lists Of houses for sale
and vacant lots in all parts OF the city At the
rate Winnipeg is growing city property should
prove an excellent and safe investment.
The company also undertakes the making Of
investments and the management Of estates.

conference with committee from the
trainmen's associations. concluded the
discussion to-day by granting an in
crease of Is per cent ~ freight han

The effect Of this concession to the

City Election.

In another column appears a call
for an election of City Trustees.
There is only one necessity for such
an election, and theat is the fact that
the present Board is composed en-
tirely of hold-over Trustees, there
being no election the past two years.
AS far as the Appeal is concerned it
believes that the present Board is
about as competent and business like
as that city has ever boosted of and
can see no reason for a change. The
Board as a man states that il his

and are willing to give way to any

alone is about proper in this case and
suggests that the present Board be
re-nominated and elected without OPP

Della Grande Floating Wheel.

G. Porter has invented a wheel
for elevating water from rivers and
canals. Tt is constructed to float
and will automatically adjust itself
to the rise and fall of the stream,
according to the inventors claims.
The principal wheel which is en-
closed in sheetiron furnishes power
which runs elevator cups to raise
the water. A plant that will raise
100 inches of water, 20 feet, contin-
Gus flow will cost between 500 and
$1,000, depending on conditions.
Mr.. Porter has applied for patent.
If the wheel will do all its inventor
claims it will be of great benefit to
people living along the banks OF
natural streams.
