Bureau Has No Land for Sale.
The Colonization x Industrial Bu-
reau has no land to sell, and its only
interest In the sale Of land by those
who have 1t, Is the building up of
the territory which it serves. In
other words, its interest is the bring
ing together Of the land and those
who would make new homes upon the
land. For that reason expert agents
Of this Bureau investigate thoroughly
all land that is offered for sale and
all land agents. These experts satisfy
themselves that the land Is suitable
for farming, that the climatic condl.
tlons are right and that the price at
which 1t Is offered IS reasonable; next
they satisfy themselves that the land
agent Is honest and reliable. There Is
no need to fool men in order to get
them TO settle In the West-the truth
is strong enough
