this prolific tract of hind lies the beautiful Last Mountain Valley, which has 

 been described by one of Canada's greatest land experts, as being the 

 "Garden Spot of tin- Northwest." 



Would you believe your neighbors as to their crops ami prosperity? 

 Then why doubt the testimony of your own people who have given Western 

 Canada a fair trial ? You couldn't induce one of them to go back. The 

 people of Ontario, of Illinois, Iowa, .Minnesota, North Dakota, and all the 

 Other States* must sooner or later reali/e that there are other states and 

 localities where farming is quite as profitable, and in manv instances, much 

 more so. 



RAILROAD AND STEAMBOAT FACILITIES 



The Last Mountain Valley will, within a few months, be provided 

 with fine transportation facilities. This country lies directly north of 

 Regina and east of Last Mountain Lake, and the main line of the 

 Prince Albert branch of the Canadian Pacific Railway runs within live 

 miles of the south end or Last Mountain Lake (the nearest town being 

 Lumsden), but for shipping purposes a spur has been built up to Craven, 

 situate on the lower end of the lake. Two steamboats and barges are 

 now plying up and down the entire length of the great lake. The Kirkella 

 branch of the Canadian Pacific Railway is being constructed through the 

 Last Mountain Valley coimtry and by this fall will be operating trains. 

 The grade has already reached a point south and west of Last Mountain. 

 Again, and the most important of all, is the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, 

 (from coast to coast), which will be constructed across the northern portion 

 of the Last Mountain Valley, as the present survey will indicate. What 

 place can you find better or even as well served, in Western Canada? 

 These are things to be remembered and taken into consideration when you 

 select your future home. The Canadian Northern Railway have secured 

 a charter for a branch running north and south through this district from 

 Regina to Humboldt, which is proof of the high estimation placed upon 

 this country by the railway companies of Canada. 



WHAT HAS BEEN CAN BE AGAIN 



TESTIMONIALS, NAMES AND ADDRESSES OF A FEW WHO 

 HAVE LOCATED IN THE LAST MOUNTAIN COUNTRY. 



Herman Doege went into the I/onglaketon District with $50, worked 

 around for a while, and then took up a homestead. Although at that time 

 he had to haul his grain sixty miles, he got on. He now has a half sec- 

 tion, well cultivated, and is buying more. He has a good house and stone 

 barn. He has cattle, horses and machinery worth $3,000 and a good bank 

 account. His crop last year was worth $2,000, and he owes nothing. 



Harry Barnes began with nothing. He now has 800 acres of land, 

 fifty head of horses, a steam thresher, a stone house that cost $2,000, and 

 a stone barn worth $1,000. He has 5,000 bushels of grain on hand and no 

 debts. He estimates that he is worth $20,000. 



Mr. P. J. Curtin, writes : I came here from Redwood County, Min- 

 nesota, last July. I settled on land in Tp. 27, Range 23, W. of 2nd, on 

 the east side of Long Lake, then 50 miles from railroad. Now the grade 

 is built 18 miles south-east of us; will be completed this summer with trains 

 running by our place. There are two steamboats on the lake. The land 

 will raise any kind of small grain and garden truck. The potatoes are the
