To assist this Railway the Dominion Government made a r^rant of land a,m.mtin. to (;,400 acres per nule, and l.y Order-in-Council set apart .'i/)00,0()() acres for that purpose. This land srant consists of some of the tim>st farn,in<^ lands in Maiutoba and the Northwest. Tlio nature of the com.try is nndulatin- well wooded and watered un.l tl.e district throu,,h which tl,e .M. & X. \V. Ifad^vay is projected o run IS known as "The Park Lands of the Fertile Belt." North of t 10 hne of Raiway a heavy helt of tin.ber extends along the whole distance trom Mmnedosa to Prince Albert. The country alono- the route of the Jlailwav is thickly settled as ar west as the Assinihoine River, and land is now heinr. rapidly taken up nnhe adjoining Province of Assinihoia, heyond the western -i.ndary of the Pro^•i,lce of Manitoba, which is funned by the line between raiiii'es 21) and .'JO. Sevei-al colonization companies have starte.l o-ood settlements which iiave met with great success. These Companies ai.l settlers with advances to lanld houses and make a start at farming. The principal Companies are the ( hurch Colonization Land Society at Churchbrid-e * 'w \> U •!> J- GLIDE nOOK TtJ M. AND N. W.

It is unnecessary to '(imte from the many authorities who have written in favor oi' this stretch of country, as the settlers them- selves are the l-est proof of its atlaptahiiity for farmin<,^ and they are iu the main eontented and well to do. The crop of l,s.s7 was miusually i;->od and has (piite cstahlished the fact that while the M. & N. W. country is unsurpassed for grazing it is also an excellent grain raising country. Tlie countr}' is divided into Municipalities as fast as settlement |in>gresscs sufficiently to warrant it, and these Municipalities are now working in an organized manner to induce inmiigration, and are always ready to welcouK' and jissist newcomers to their districts. Towns and villagers are springing up along the line of the Rail- way and the C'omjtany ofl'er at all points a liberal rebate to purchasers of lots for l)uilding. ( 'apitalists will tind plenty of opportunities for tlie safe investment of money to aid the development of this ctiuntry. Mills, warehou.ses, stores, &c., are vecpiired at numy new points along the Railway, and afford a good return for the ca[)ital invested. The Sportsman wdl also tind it to his advantage to pay a visit during the shooting .season to this Noi'thwestern country, as there is e.Kci'llont ,shooting everywhere, in the woods and on the prairie. From the detailecl information eontained in this book, under the heads of the various townships, tlu' intending si'ttler can .select for himself a location or district, and thus avoid the waste of time and expense necessitated by travelling all over the country in search of land. ■^f M\(\ Id )inu/iL U^^^' r^" V ". ..UMVAV ,.„„» "■*"•• ='*««""ATIONS.
