The Greatest of All Irrigation Projects 



ON THE AMERICAN CONTINENT TO-DAY 

 CONSTRUCTED BY THE CANADIAN PACIFIC RAILWAY 



IN SOUTHERN ALBERTA, CANADA 



The Land That's Famous For Its Tremendous Crops 

 of Ha.rd Winter Whea.t, Alfalfa. a.nd Sugar Beets 



The Ideal Country for Diversified Farming 



This enormous undertaking by the Canadian Pacific Railway will eventually place "under ditch" 

 a million and a half acres of land and will yet take years to complete. It IB without doubt the 

 world's greatest irrigated proposition ever undertaken by any government, corporation or persons. 

 The first section of this great project Is now placed on the market for the first time, and we have 

 now ready for the farmer 



ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND ACRES 



Of the best irrigated land In the world lying Immediately on the northern aide of the Main Line 

 of the Canadian Pacific By., at Gletchen and extending back ten miles, all In a solid block. 



At from $18.00 to $25.00 an Acre 



ON EXCEPTIONALLY EASY TERMS 



IRRIGATION IS PRACTICAL CROP INSURANCE 



You get moisture when needed, where needed and as much as needed. 



BEAD WHAT DR. EMVOOU MEADE, AMERICA'S HIGHEST AUTHORITY OX IRRIGATION, 

 SAYS after careful examination of the entire project: "The soil of the Irrigable area Is fertile and 

 well adapted to the application of water. The water supply If ample and the rights of the Com- 

 pany thereto are secured." 



In the very heart of this so-called Glelchen tract there has been raised this year without Irrlga- 

 , tlon, 45 bushels of Wheat and 80 to 100 bushels of Oats to the acre. What will this land not do 

 with Irrigation? We have some attached areas of non-irrigable land which are covered with a splen- 

 did growth of grass and are perfect for grazing lands, which we will sell In conjunction with the 

 irrigated land. This will make an Ideal combination of irrigated and non-irrigated land for farm- 

 Ing and stock raising. As there are comparatively few of these combination farms, It will be well 

 for yon to make a selection at once. 



Upon application to the undersigned, stating that you want to Inspect this land, we will fur- 

 nish you with a certificate enabling you to buy a ticket over the Canadian Pacific Railway lines 

 from any point at which you wish to start to Glelchen and return, at a rate of one cent a mile 

 from the Eastern and Southern points reached by the Canadian Pacific Railway, and a rate of 

 one fare for the round trip from points on the main line West of Calgary to the coast. 



These lands will be placed on sale at merely nominal prices, our object being to establish a great 

 agricultural community rather than to sell these lands at their real value, either as judged by 

 their crop production or the prices of Irrigated lands elsewhere. The Canadian Pacific Railway will 

 forever maintain these canals and laterals at the nominal cost of 50c per acre per annum. The 

 terms of sale will be one-quarter cash and the balance In five equal annual installments at 6 per 

 cent Interest. This land will be sold In tracts of 80 acres and as much more as you desire. Re- 

 member, first come, first choice.
