PANY own  nearly  25.000,000  acres  of 
land  in  the  Canadian  North  West,  lying 
chiofly  along  its  Main  Line  and  Branches. 
The  lands  have  i)ecn  carcfiiily  selected  by 
coMii)etent  surveyors,  enal)ling  the  Com- 
pany to  offer  those  of  the  highest  grade  to 
intending  purchasers  at  [irices  ranging  from 
$2.50  per  acre  upwards,  and  purcha.ser  may 
go  into  immediate  possession  on  ])aymcnt 
of  orx^-tenth  of  the  purchase  money,  and 
the  balance  in  nine  annual  instalments. 

All  surveyed  even  numbered  sections, 
excepting  8  and  26,  are  held  exclusively 
for  free  homesteads,  and  entry  thercf<jr  for 
the  amount  of  a  ([uarter  section  (160  acres) 
can  be  obtained  on  payment  of  a  fee  of  ten 
dollars. 

The  railway  traverses  four  of  the  most 
imi)orlant  Provinces  and  1  )istricts  of  the 
North- West,  vi/.:  Manitoba,  Assiniboia, 
Alberta  and  .Saskatchewan.  The  last

the  railway,  and  contains  some  of  the  best 
lands,  while  its  soil  is  unsurpassed  on  the 
continent.

The  Canadian  Pacific  Railway 
have  made  a  general  reduction 
in  the  price  of  all  lands  listed  at  $4  per  acre 
and  upwards,  excepting  only  such  as  are 
particularly  valuable  owing  to  proximity  to 
stations  or  to  other  special  causes.  This 
reduction  will,  in  most  cases,  range  from 
25  to  33  per  cent.  'i'he  lands  in  the 
Edmonton  District,  unsurpassed  in  the 
Dominion,  are  sold  at  a  uniform  price  of  $3.

climate  in  winter  and  cool  breezes  in  sum-

winter  of  the  "Chinook  Winds,"  which 
follow  a  North-easterly  direction  from  the 
current  in  the  Southern  Pacific  Ocean, 
whence  they  receive  their  warmth.  Tlie

thus  making  the  winters  mild  and  filling 
the  creeks  and  ponds  with  water  for  the 
stock  on  the  ranches.  In  the  summer  these 
creeks  are  constantly  supplied  svith  water 
from  the  melting  snow  in  the  mountains, 
so  that  during  summer  and  winter  there  is 
always  to  be  found  throughout  tlie  District 
an  abundance  of  waler  for  grazing 
and  all  other  purposes. 

■{"he  wild  grasses  of  the  District  are 
most  nutritious,  as  has  heen  demonstrated 
hy  the  tliousaiuls  of  cattle  sold  from  tiie 
different  randies  all  in  first  class  condition 
for  the  nuiiket,  and  it  is  a  fact  that,  even 
in  the  spring,  cattle  which  have  not  received 
any  feed  except  what  they  got  by  grazing 
are  hrouglit  in  from  the  ranches  aS    fat 

as  Stall  fed  cattle  in  the  Eastern

'the  cool  temperature  in  summer  with 
the  grasses  and  pure  cool  mountain  streams

countries  to  be  fouiul  for  Cheese  and 
Butter  making,  and  before  long  it  will 
be  as  noted  for  such  industries  as  for  its 
ranches.

PnnCtf  lirtinn  '  '^''^  tliorouf^lily  l)uilt  and  splendidly 
cciuippcd  lint;  has  earned  a  rei)Utation 
for  cop.ifort  and  regular  lime  that  few  lines 
in  America  have  ever  reached,  and  none 
until  alter  many  years  of  operation.  In  the 
construction  o(  this  line  the  utmost  care 
was  taken  with  every  detail,  and  nothing 
was  left  undone  to  make  it  what  it  was 
intentled  !)y  its  projectors  to  he,  the 
very  best  new  line  ever  constructed 
on  the  American  Continent. 


Equipment. 


'I'lus  line  is  ci|uippcd  with  the  finest 
Passenger  (loaches  and  (.'olonist 
Sleeping  Cars  in  the  world.  'I"hc  wheels 
used  under  all  the  passenger  nulling  stock 
are  of  Krupp  steel,  40  inches  in  diameter, 
not  one  of  which  has  ever  failed  ;  the  axles 
are  of  steel,  and  of  the  full  size  of  the  iron 
axles  used  on  other  lines.  The  car  bodies 
are  strongly  framed  to  meet  any  contin- 
gency, and  are  wider  and  higher  than  those 
of  any  other  railway,  'i'hey  are  double- 
windowed  and  are  designed  to  secure 
uniform  warmth,  comhincd  with  perfect 
ventilation,  in  winter,  and  an  abundance 
of  cool  air,  with  freedom  from  dust,  in 
simimer  ;  the  cars  of  no  other  line  can 
compare  with  them  in  these  respects,  nor 
in  strength,  elegance  and  comlort. 


Track  and  Bridges,  '''-■-"''"ks are  unusually 

"  wide     and     thoroughly 

drained  ;  the  embankments  are  very  wide 
and  solid  ;  the  bridges,  resting  on  first- 
class  masonry,  are  of  steel,  and  of  twice  the 
ordinary  strength  ;  the  rails  are  of  the  best 
steel,  manufactured  under  the  most  rigid 
inspection,  and  arc  laid  with  angle  splices 
of  double  strength  ;  the  ties  are  large  and 
closely  laid,  and  the  track  is  ballasted  with 
the  best  materials.

taken  to  make  the  heating  apparatus  on

in  lighting  the  cars  is  manufactured  ex-

even  than  candles,  while  it  affords  a  most
