Why Not An Irrigated Farm?

We believe the question in your mind
is not now, ''Why an irrigated farm? but
"Why not an irrigated farm?" When it
is possible to get irrigated lands so favor
ably situated, at the low prices and on the
easy terms offered by this Company, the
alfalfa, with the accompanying dairy
and stock industry, and the proper rota-
ton of crops; which offers you home in
a congenial, well-settled district, close to
a large and thriving city--a country of
splendid climate, good educational facili-
ties, rapid and cheap transportation, OPP
portunity of acquiring land at small cost
that will bring comfort and competence
to you and your family and will not be-
come exhausted but under proper man
agement, will increase in fertility with
the passing years--does not this land meet
all your requirements for home.
Do not delay or put the matter off for
later consideration. 1t is not the policy
of the Canadian Pacific Railway to urge
undue haste or reckless action; we want
you to make a very careful investigation
of what we have to offer you before you
decide, but we want you in your own in
terests, to begin that investigation at

Hon. B. F. Mcdonald is a lawyer by
profession, and enjoys fine practice.
He lectures in the summer time for
relaxation. He has seen a lot of the
world and has learned of many of its
shams and pretensions. And he knows
how to deal with these with bare
knuckles, in blows straight out from
the shoulder.
He is a fine orator and arouses the
keenest interest. His address is edu-
cative as well as entertaining. He
knows the true life values and puts
them strongly to the front. He is a
big booster for better things all along
the line.

IRRIGATED LANDS

ed to some such crop as sugar beets: then
two or three crops of grain are taken;
then back to alfalfa. a farm may be cul-
tivated in this way forever without losing
its virgin fertility.
I. The irrigation farmer makes
home. His system Of agriculture, rotat-
ing crops over a period of years, means
that he is going to give his life to his pro
fession. He is not in the business to mine
his soil for few years, get two or three
snap bumper crops, and move on, leaving
his farm weed-ridden and exhausted. On
the contrary, every year his land becomes
more valuable, not for speculation, but for
actual production. Consequently there is
no purpose in leaving it. If, when he
buys a farm, he plants on it some OF the
trees which the Canadian Pacific Railway
Company furnishes free for the purpose,
he will in few years have fine groves
and shelter belts, which relieve the bare
ness of the prairie and give his farm a
homelike appearance The shelter belts
allow him to grow small fruits in a
profusion that would not otherwise be
possible. With his dairy cows, his hogs,
sheep and poultry, his vegetables and
his fruit, he becomes as nearly independ-
ent as it is possible for any one to be UNI
der the conditions of modern civilization.

Prices

The price of good irrigated land
ranges downward from $4,000 per acre.
oIn arriving at the price of a farm allow
ance is made for any land which cannot
be irrigated, which is sold at a much lower
price Farms containing some irrigated

On Leong Tong
Chieftain Dies
Quietly in Bed
Tom Lee, Chinatown's
Ruler, Thought Hatchet
Men Would Get Him

Tom Lee, first citizen of New York's
terrible On Leong Tong, lies dead in
his shabby suite of rooms at 18 Mott
Street, where he once reigned like an
emperor, administering the high JUS
tice, the middle and the low, not omit
ting the gambling privileges, for the
clty's Chinese population.
The worn out yellow she'll that once
held the gentle spoken, courtly,. re-
morseless personality of Tom Lee
rested last night on a crepe-swathed
bier in crepe-draped chamber. About
the room stood silent mourners, most
OF them members of the mighty tong
which has now fallen into decay with
the rest of Chinatown. Between the
oody and the entrance of 18 Mott
street are three heavy doors: which
are opened only to admit mourners.
These are the doors that once nro-
tected the dead chieftain from the navy
revolvers of the Hip Sing hatchetmeri.
They remain closed now to prevent the
evil spirits of the Chinese world be-
yond the grave from reaching so i'm
portant prize as the body of Tom
Lee.
In those days there was SIS 1000
bounty on the head of Tom Lee, CHIEF
OF one of the warning tongs, and the
Hip Sings had !. dozen blue -bloused
policemen who would have given their
lives willingly for a chance to get him
Believed He Would Be Killed
For several years during Chinatown's
period of storm and stress Lee never
moved without the bodyguard of half
dozen stalwarts, with forty fours"
concealed in their loose jacket sleeves.
He believed firmly that he would be
killed. Police and others conyersant
with Chinatown predicted that Lee
would die in al alley somewhere with
tong bullet in his lungs.
Yesterday the ruler of the China
town that was died quietly in his bed
