FARM LANDS AVAILABLE
In the Municipality of Argyle.
The following lands are nearly all in the municipality of Argyle and
are even better than can be had almost anywhere else in Manitoba for
the follow¬ing reason- : (a) Taxes are lower than almost any other
municipality, being on an average of $9.00 per annum on a quarter
section, (b) They’re all within easy reach of markets, churches,
schools, and many other accommodations.
The list comprises land fitted for grain farms, cattle raising or
farms, so that all can be suited.
The prices for all the land contained in the list here given range from
$3.00 per acre up to $8.00 per acre for prairie
land, and are lower than can be purchased elsewhere for the
same money—taking into consideration the quality of the
land aud location as to railway facilities, some of
them being not more than 3 or 4
miles from the railroad.
The reason that so much good land I can still be bought so reasonably,
is owing to the greater part of the immi¬gration to this country
having been by way of the Canadian Pacific Railway or its branches, and
the people having tickets to some point on that line or its branches.
The land along the C. P. has been taken up and raised the prices, while
the lands on the Northern Pacific have been overlooked and can be
purchased for less than half of what the same quality of land is
selling for within ten miles north or south of the O.P.R

All of these lands can be purchased on
very easy terms of payment.

From " Climates of Canada”
"The bright clear cold of the ordinary winter day in Manitoba is most
enjoyable. With little or no thawing, and no sea of uncongealed great
freshwater lakes to supply damness the air is crisp and dry and where
in England, or on the seacoast, with a few degrees of frost, the air is
chill and raw, many more degrees of cold in the Canadian Northwest is
only enjoyable and stimulating." The winter goes as it comes, almost in
a day the crescent sun pours his powerful rains through the transparent

atmosphere, and, when the thaw has begun, the great atmospheric
disturbances, caused by the heated centres, cause the northwest wind to
blow and lick up the water
