MANY GOING ON CANADIAN EXCURSION'

Will Start From Rensselaer on July 7th and Entire Trip to Be Made In Pullman Car. Theodore George, agent for the Canadian Pacific lands for Jasper, Newton, White, Tippecanoe, Warren and Benton counties, has received a communication from the Canadian Pacific officials saying that the general passenger agent for the Soo line railroad will be here this week to make arrangements for the Canadian excursion from Rensselaer on July 7th. A 16-sectk>n Pullman car will be provided for the passengers from here. This is t(re largest Pullman made and has a capacity of over 60 passengers. The dir will be routed from Rensselaer to Chicago over the Soo line to St. Paul and Minneapolis northwest -through North Portal, North Dakota; thence over the Canadian Pacific direct to Calgary, Alberta. H desired the return trip will be made by the way of Edmonton, Alberta, thence through the Saskatchewan country, stopping at Saskatoon, Moose Jaw and Regina; thence ‘east to Winnipeg, Manitoba. The round trip from Rensselaer to Calgary will be $49.50, plus the price of berths, which will be $3.00 for upper and $4.00 for lower. Passengers desiring to return sooner can do so on any regular train. Those desiring to take a shorter trip and only go to the Saskatchewan country can make the trip for about $lO less. Those desiring to take the trip should notify Mr. George at once, as it is necessary to know how many will make the trip so as to • permit the railroad officials to make the necessary arrangements for the trip. Fifteen persons so far have signified their intention to take the trip. It is advisable that as many as possible make arrangements to go on this trip, as the earlier one goes the better selections of lands can be made. This land proposition is absolutely backed by the Canadian Pacific railroad and no misrepresentations of any kind will be made. The land will be found exactly as represented, laying near good towns and railroads and the Canadian Pacific will co-operate with settlers every way to make their investments a success. Seed is furnished at cost and expert advice is furnished free as to the best methods of farming, and liberal loans for buildings and live stock is made to investors. As an example of ( what can be done in Canada might be noted what a few settlers from this vicinity have done: Sam English, who went from Jasper county to Saskatchewan, Canada., about eight yearn ago, is now a wealthy man and well satisfied with his new home. J. T. Ham went there from Mt Ayr eight years ago and Is reported to have become very wealthy. Mr. McCullough, a Monon conductor, sent his son, who was afflicted with tuberculosis, to Canada 15 years ago. He started’Hfe in that new country as a cattle herder. He has entirely recovered his health, and now owns nineteen sections pf land, has many herds of cattle, and his cheek is said to be good for nearly a half million of dollars. Philip Blue, o f wllO is now in Canada with his son-in-law farming 1,000 acres of land, writes very .enthusiastically of that country, and will probably locate there permanently in the future. Sam Duvall, another Rensselaerite who went to Canada some years ago, is another one who made good, and is able to take easy. There are many others who have had like experiences, and we have yet to hear of the first one to make a failure in that country. In Canada there is no tax on personal property or improvements, the tax being > assessed on land only. This makes the tax very reasonable and especially ewy on the man of moderate means. It is not necessary to become a naturalized citizen of that country to own land there, unless a homestead Is taken from the government Unnaturalized citizens, however, can vote In municipal elections and on school questions. If interested in this proposition write to Theodore George for illustrated literature, at Rensselaer, Ind., and if you are intending to We carry in stock Deering harvester machinery and repairs for the same: also repairsfor the MilHamilton e I ’J"'
