 million and a half acres of land and will take yi ars 

 yet to complete. It is without doubt the world's 

 greatest irrigated proposition ever undertaken by any 

 government, corporation or person. The first section 

 of thisgreat project is now placed on the mar ket for the 

 first time, and we have now ready for the farmer 



OVER 100,000 ACRES

 ately north of the MAIN LINE OF THE CANA-

No Floods No Droughts 



J. J. BILL. IN A RECENT NEW YORK INTERVIEW, SPEAKING OF IRRIGATION. SAID: "IRRIGATION. Colonizilion and Co-operilion. I put 

 IRRIGATION first, because if it Is properly and correctly done you can add to the population of a leclion and provide each new settler with a farm 

 of 200 acres. With RAINFALL under his control the farmer can easily produce as much from 200 acres as he can from 500 acres. One of the 

 greatest FERTILIZERS known to the world Is WATER." 



AN IDEAL COUNTRY FOR DIVERSIFIED FARMING 



WE HAVE SOME ATTACHED AREAS OF NON-IRRIGABLE LANDS WHICH ARE COVERED WITH A SPLENDID GROWTH OF GRASS AND 

 PERFECT FOR GRAZING LANDS. WHICH WE WILL SELL IN CONDUCTION WITH THE IRRIGATED LAND. THIS WILL MAKE AN IDEAL 

 COMBINATION OF IRRIGATED AND NON-IRRIGATED LAND FOR FARMING AND STOCK RAISING. AS THERE ARE COMPARATIVELY FEW 

 OF THESE COMBINATION FARMS. IT WILL BE WELL FOR YOU TO MAKE A SELECTION AT ONCE. 



Ample hotel accommodations at Gleichen will prr vide you comfort, and we will furnish teams and drivers to show you over the 

 tract, free of expense. Upon application to undersigned, stating that you want to inspect this land, we will furnish you with a certifi- 

 cate enabling you to buy a ticket over the Canadian Pacific Railway lines from any point at which you wish to start to Gleichen 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 

 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. Remember, first come, first choice.
