Bought Wheat Land in Sunny Alberta

Densmore formerly of this city now at The Dalles returned from Calgary Alberta where he bought 60 acres of fine wheat land from the Canadian Pacific railway at 15 dollars per acre on 19 years time.

Hundreds of land buyers are entering the CP tract and nearly all are purchasing. The company will farm over 40,000 acres for non-resident purchasers east of Calgary this season.
