Railroad competition in Saskatche- wan is focusing attention closely enough to make that Province the objective point of homesteaders in 1911, rather than other parts of the Canadian West. Both the Canadian Pacific and the Canadian Northern, those great transcontinental rivals, are hastening to establish themselves firmly in the so-called Last Mountain Valley district, where most of Sas- katchewan's record crop was produced last year. All Saskatchewan is enjoy- ing the benefits resulting from, that notable achievement, and it is regard- ed as highly probable that from now on the tide of colonization will -be diverted from Alberta, Manitoba and other portions of the West •to this newer Province that is so rich in natural fertility and productive- ness. Last year one-third of the new mileage constructed by the Canadian Pacific Railway system was within the confines of the Last Mountain Valley, and this year the Canadian Northern, it has been decided, will build north from Craven still farther fast than the C.P.R. line north from Regina. The Canadian Northern was first to enter the district, and its main line from Regina to Prince Alpert caused the region to be colonized. The facts that Saskatchewan produc- ed a large part, 60,000,000 bushels, of the crop of Western Canada last year, owing to the drought farther West, and that the largest yield came from the Last Mountain Valley, has made that district now the centre of in- terest and of a race of railways the like of which has not been equalled even in the dramatic railway building of the Western Proviuces. The new proposed mileage makes the railway map of the region like a huge hand about seventy miles long and fifty wide with the radiating lines the fiogers, and the thumb near Southey, where the proposed Cana- dian Northern new line will cross in almost a direct line northward. The greatest influx of settlers is promised in the vicinity of Southey, conse- quently the rivalry during the year will be to occupy the region round- about. Land that sells for $20 an acre in the Last Mountain Valley is yielding 40 bushels of wheat per acre, and it is a positive fact that a majority of the fermiers have paid for their land from their first crop of wheat, while even those who lack the essentials of good management are able to pay out in from two to three years, Though provided 'with an ample rainfall, the Last Mountain Valley is a land of al- most continuous sunshine, where health abounds—a climate that builds vitality. Pulmonary diseases or epi- demics of any kind are unknown here. The "Wm. Pearson Co., Ltd., have compiled a complete and delightful library of Canada land literature. Anyone who is interested in knowing all about Last Mountain Valley, Saskatchewan, and its fertile farming lands and the low prices and easy terms on which the land can be secur- ed, may get these authentic books Freo by writing to the Win, Pearson Co., Ltd., Room 28, 18 Toronto Street, Toronto, Ont.
