How about American money ? 



You can take it with you. American money is taken anywhere in 

 Western Canada at its face value. Canadian money has about the same 

 ill-nominations as American money. 



How is it for stock raising ? 



The country has no equal. The climate in the Saskatchewan and 

 Last Mountain valleys is such that cattle and horses are often not housed 

 throughout the winter. So nutritious are the wild grasses that horses 

 come in in the spring fat and with two weeks' graining are ready for the 

 heavy spring work. 



Are the taxes high ? 



No. Having no expensive system of municipal or county organization, 

 taxes are necessarily low. A quarter section, 160 acres, is taxed to the 

 extent of $2 to $2.50 per annum. The only other taxes levied are for 

 schools. In the localities where the settlers have formed school districts 

 the total tax for all purposes on a quarter section seldom exceeds $8 to 

 $10 per annum. 



Does rust affect small grain ? 



No. Rust is practically unknown in Canada. 



What quality of wheat is grown ? 



Nothing but very best quality. The bulk is of No. I hard and No. i 

 northern. The latitude, a soil particularly adapted to small grains, and the 

 long days of fifteen to sixteen hours of sunshine, affords the best possible 

 climatic conditions. 



COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT 



The commercial growth of Canada has never been equalled before 

 anywhere on this continent. Millions upon millions of dollars are being 

 expended throughout Canada. The City of Winnipeg had between ten 

 and twelve millions of dollars' worth of buildings under construction last 

 year alone, and so far indications show that this result will beat least 

 equalled if not surpassed. There are hundreds of miles of railroads now 

 being constructed and thousands of miles yet to be constructed as fast as 

 the work can be expedited. Are not these the very best evidences to be 

 had of a country's rapid growth and stability? Men of wealth and great 

 corporations are doing their utmost to keep abreast with the wonderful 

 development of the Great Northwest. To those who keep posted in 

 current events, it is needless to remind them that the bank clearings for 

 Canada every month show a greater increase in percentage than any 

 other country in the world by far exceeding that of the United States 

 even. " It is up to you."' Do you want to participate in this rapid, stable 

 and unprecedented growth ot the acknowledged greatest wheat 

 growing country in the world. If you don't care to come, send the 

 boys and give them a start on the road to wealth and independence. 

 You can't do it by investing $75 to $100 inlands. Slot) and think. You 

 can own from seven to ten acres of land for every one of the high-priced 

 lands further south besides getting better returns with less labor. The 

 Saskatchewan Valley of Eastern Assiniboia has become famous through- 

 out the world for its fertile and bumper crops. In the southern part of
