One of the Best Countries I Ever Saw
A Western Canada grain report features Walter Gleadell praising Alberta after homesteading in Edmonton district. He notes high crop yields, rising land ownership to three-quarters of a section, strong markets, and low land taxes offset by improvements worth about $4,000. He contrasts Alberta’s banking and tax system with the United States and cites government land title guarantees and affordable abstracts.
