Settlers Colonization Company Have Sew
real Sections In the
Southwest,

Colonization company, reports a most sue
cessful season and looks hopefully to the
future as time Of even greater activity.
While land is not so easy to get on ones
list as it was a year ago, there is still
plenty OF 1t around at right prices. In
the Souris district the settlers have some
splendid land which is now priced at
$3.50 per acre. Things are looking well
for big crop In the southwest this
spring and Mr.. Rogers does not anticipate
keeping any OF the Souris farms on his
list for any great length of time. In other
parts OF the province the company also
has property both improved and wild. In
the city the movement Is brisk and
several sales of outlying property have
been made within the past few days.

ONE OF THE STRONG LAND
COMPANIES

During short conversation with Mr..
F. NJ. March, president Of the Manitoba
Land and Investment company. the jour
nal representative found this gentleman
a thoro land man. Mr.. March possesses
a practical knowledge Of land properties
in western Canada In this instance it
may be stated that the above company
was the first American company to in
wade Canadian territory. Mr.. March is
very enthusiastic as to the bright future
In store for this wonderful country. The
opportunity for paying investments were
never so great as al the present time:
1903 will surely prove the banner crop
The Minneapolis journal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1888-1939, 1903-05-28

this year than In 1902.
There has been abundance Of rain all
spring and the wheat crop never had a
more prosperous appearance The predic-
lions are that 1903 will see the largest
yield in the history Of the country Mr..
March's company have large interests In
Manitoba and eastern Assiniboia These
lands are especially picked as to fertility
and location. Any one DESTROYS OF look
ing over these properties will find Mr..
March q genial gentleman, a thoro, prac-
tical business man, whose judgment as ito
land values in western Canada is unex-
celled. It might be overwhelmingly
stated that Mr.. March is not only an au-
thority on farm lands, but is equally pro-
ficient in picking the winners in the great
american. game Of baseball, and is stick
er for the Winnipeg team.
