"A somewhat paternsl policy has been
adopted by the Canadian Pacific in con-
nection with the colonization OF the Vasi
area area OF land controlled by that corEor-
aIlon tributary TO its system. The com
pany is the largest land owner in Can
aoa. ana has incurred enormous expcndi-
ture In the construction OF irrigation
works 10 further enhance the productive
ness OF It's lands. The company is vast
ly concerned in the success Of every in
dlNidual purchaser or settler. no at once
becomes patron Of the road.
me company realizes that the bulk
of the settlers coming into occupation
particularly upon It's irrigated lands, Will
be more or less ignorant of the proper
methods OF handling and applying ws ser
ticc generally. and II therefore places at
their disposal advice and assistance
through its own staff of lecturers and eX-
perts. The company also operates at
central points farms devoted to demon
stratlne the agricultural possibilities II
The irrigated tract On some Of these
farms are maintained pure-bred slres for
the free use of the settler. and advanced
work is also being done In seed selec-
ton and distribution. The company
distinguishes between mere land selling
and advanced colonization and develop
ment work. and realizes that q somewhat
Daternal administra tion accclerates the
results the company are striving for
viz. the greatest possible volume of traf-

Estimated Cost.
Considerable detail has as yet to be
worked out by the company's officers be-
fore IT is possible 10 deal definitely with
the financial phase OF the scheme. In
deed, ii may be expected that the prclm-
mary programme will be considerably
amended after we commence active op-
erations on the new plan and have an
opportunity Of studying the class OF COL
onists we shall be- dealing with. 1t Is
at present expected that the holdings will
vary in area from SO 10 l60 acres. In
some cases they may be slightly larger.
The prices IT which the company's lands
arc a present disposed OF vary from sl5
TO $40 per acre. 1t would perhaps be
safe To estimate the land value OF the
average holding at from $4,000 To s3750
II is estimated that the cost OF erecting
the necessary buildings placing other i'm
provemcnts on the land, breaking seed
etc. will amount TO about $500. To this
extent the company proposes TO bear the
entire financial burden on A teu-ycar re-
payment plan.
The settlers own capital might adj
vantagcously be expended as follows: For
the purchase OF the necessary live stock
$500, for furniture. household expenses
and horse feed. about Sl25: onc-half the
total cost OF implements (thc balance be-
ing repayable 10 the dealer at a future
date), $50; transportation to Canada
about Sl2h-or a total OF $1,000
1T is perhaps fair to state that. realiz-
ing the enormous Importance OF the in
dividuality of the colonlst. the company
proposes. in working out the detailed ad-
else due care and judgment in the sclec-
tion OF the settlers so as 10 eliminate a.
far as possible, the incident of failure.

an invitation 10 approved coionists with
agricultural experience To go into part

IL would be poor business Judgment In
deed if that corporation did not exercise
care in the selection of its partners.
Il might here add that 1t is intended
that the colonsts shall be accompanied
on their trip 10 Western Canada by one
Of the company's officers, who will re-
main there until each party is comforta-
bly, settled: and the company's staff at
headquarters Will, Of course, be available
TO render every assistance In locating the
various parties as quickly as they arrive.
TO put the case In concrete form the

IL That a home may be ready for the
settler and his family Immediately on his
arrival in Canada.
80. That all the preliminary work to

prior 10 his arrival.
IS. That the company will augment the
settlers capital by practically making MIN
