This im nense tract is divided into three sections and heretofore the western section has been uoon the market. Recentto all the wheat land in the wzstern section has been advanced to $15.00 per acre, J making a handsorr.e profit fcrthose who bought last fait at $10 per acre, h the cenhal section, which h3s iust been vj opened Jhe company is now offering excellent wheailand on the main line of She Canadian Pacific and on the line of the Canadian Northern at $W. $11. 5o and $U.5o per acre on ten years time. This land is excellent wheat tana ana is in we midst of a new irrigated district where a half a million dollar reservoir is to be constructed this year and where Ihe com pany will spend hur.dreds of thousands of dollars in drtch construction and other developments. With railroads being built through the country and settlement adva (ing at a rapid rate this new land will advance from $5. t $8 per acre within the next few mirths. You cannot afford to let money lie idle with such land investment open to you. Pay one-tenth in cash and letlhe crops pay the remainder, or sell at a handsome profit before another pay ment is due. Fortunes have been made and arc today being made in Alberta wheat lands and you are missing the last best opportunity to secure cheap good lands on the American Continent.
