1t was thought that even if Ritz sur

the bullet passed through the part OF

EXTRAORDINARY INCREASE IN
LAND VALUES.

Southern Alberta Is . Mighty Good
Country.
No stronger or better evidence can
than that which comes from the tssti-
mony Of the settler who has determine
ton to succeed. This is why we re-
produce the following letter, which
speaks for itself. These people were
induced to go to Western Canada
through the solicitation of a Canadian
Government agent, who secured for
them low railway rates.
Carmangay, Alta, Canada, Dec. Is, '0S.
Mr.. c. ]. Broughton, Canadian Govern
ment Agency, 135 Adams street,
Chicago:
We had audacity enough to tackle
the proposition of buying four sections
Of land in Southern Alberta, thirty
miles east of Clairsholm, and heading
up on the Little Bow, and our two boys
each got a homestead adjoining. We
fenced three sections and the two home
steads and built house, barn, corrals
and granary and have since enlarged
some of these buildings. We have
broken 200 acres Of land, which has
been sowed TO oats and wheat. During
the severe winter of two years ago
tho winter wheat killed out somewhat
and our crop yielded only ten bushels
TO the acre, but the spring wheat went
"a bushels to the acre. In this coun-
try we must be prepared for storms
and cold, at times, 20 to so below zero,
yet on the whole the winters are mild !;
and while there are exceptional crops,
1t is fair to say that the average
farmer can depend on having a yield
in average years Of from 20 to %
bushels to the acre for spring wheat !;
and winter wheat in our immediate
neighborhood yields from % to 80 BUSH
els to the acre on the average.
We have now quite a bunch of
horses, over 90 in all, about $50 sheep,
after having sold 40 for mutton this
fall. We have 20 head of pure bred
registered Shropshire, which are worth
$50 each. The average price received
for mutton sheep was $500 and little
over. Pork brings and 6 cents a
pound. We have about 30 head of cat
tie on our ranch now, and last winter
they picked their entire living from our
pasture, running to the straw stacks
for shelter at night.
The increase of land value has been
extraordinary. Our land four years
ago cost US a little less than 5000
an acre. We have sold one section for
$500, but we would not sell any more
for less than $500 per acre, as we ex-
pect the railroad within four miles Of
our ranch within the next is months.
Southern Alberta of Western Canada is
q mighty good country for any man or
woman who loves outdoor life and who
wants to get good returns for their la
Dor and investment
We have been pleased with eur treat
ment from the Canadian government
and can heartily commend Southern
Alberta as a splendid country in which
to locate.
Yours very truly,
(Signed)
