Gentlemen:

the company l have the honor to repre-

you would not be here because this is

railway, its transportation system, its
lands, prices, terms and unprecedented
offer to settlers, together with the
rapid development and crops Of Alberta,
Saskatchewan and Manitoba, we will
proceed without further preface.
In talking about the Canadian Pa

diligence for little personal reference
and in this connection may inflict
little story ! read the other day which
ran something like this: A lady who

one mile of track west of the Red
