aThe Canadian Pacific is considered
che of the first railroads of the world,
but it is not so generally known that
the company is the largest landowner
in the world. Despite the sale of mil
lions of acres from the original grant of
approximately 26,700,000 acres, the rail-
road still possessed ut the opening of
the year more than eleven million
acres worth, on the basis of sales in
1872, at least $i75.000000. The great in
f1ux of farmers into Canada in recent
years has caused land values to in
crease rapidly. No longer ago than
1903 the Canadian Pacific received only
1857 an acre for holdings apportioned
out which amounted to over $500. 600
acres. Last year the price was close
