Irrigation and settlement boom along Canadian Pacific line
The Canadian Pacific Railway undertakes major irrigation east of Calgary, promising 1.6 million acres of rich land. The first 110,000 acre block is open for sale at 15 to 25 dollars per acre, with non irrigable grazing land at 12 to 15 dollars. Calgary, a 20,000 populace hub, thrives with American settlers and aggressive merchants. Twenty grain elevators have been built along the Southern Alberta line, with plans for thirty more to support bumper crops. A strong box found during Metz cathedral demolition contains coins and watches valued at an unknown sum.
