View of Lumber Yards—Annex in Background in some other district from the government at 50c an acre, he would, in all probability, be isolated from all companionship and far re- moved from a profitable market for his produce. The land in the two townships is of an excellent quality, the equal, it is said, of anything to be found in Western Canada, and those who are acquainted with the district state that there, is no possibility whatever of a settler failing to make good unless he is lazy. The company have not, as yet, placed anyone upon these lands.
