That this Is a most prosperous year
for Alberta province, Canada. . and
that land values are advancing rapid
ly in that section of the country Is
declared by M. McDonald the Walla
Walla linr.se man, well known in tills
city, who has Just returned from Cal
gary, where he purchased Kino acres
of wheat land at $12 per acre.
Thousands of settlers are rnshlnR
Into that country this fall and all are
buying' land. The Canadian Pacific
company Is selling a fine body of
laud east of Calgary and this year
many extraordinary wheat and oat
yields are being' enjoyed.
Mr. McDonald, Mr. Resser and oth
er Walla. Walla people are buying
heavily and are bcRlmilng to develop
their land. It Is thought by these
practical wheat growers that Alberta,
nnd especially that portion enBt of
Calgary, will become the granary of

per acre there in the past year
still greater advance is expected inj
the next year on account of the thou
sands of eastern farmers going thorn.'
The Canadian Pacific sells Its land'
direct to the settler on eight year's
lime, which makes it possible for
men with small means to get a foot
hold. Mr. McDonald declares that one fa
miliar with the country two years
ago would scarcely recognl.e It today
on account of the large wheat and
oat fields which now cover the entire
country.
He believes that the Canadian
wheat land Is particularly Inviting
either as a farming or Investment
proposition nnd Is himself heavily In

sale, but he will farm on a large
scale as will also Mr. Reeser, who
has shipped up a steam plow nnd Is
