gre of the greatest questions
occupying the attention of the business world today is: the way and means of de- creasing the. extraordinarily large amount of
Fire Waste
When you consider that the
total fire waste for Canada alone was over $23,000,000 for the year 1910, an amount equal to over $3.00 per head perannum, it would seem that an investigation
for the purpose of ascer- taining the best systems for Fire Protection and the adoption of the same would help to a great extent to de- crease the amount of loss.

HE twenty-eighth edition of Henderson's Alberta Gazetteer and Business Directory is herewith presented to its patrons and the general public with the assurance that the work is in every
respect up-to the standard of general excellence made possible by thoroughly systematized methods.
Heretofore the western provinces of Canada have been embodied in one edition, the Western Canada Gazetteer. But the last two years have witnessed such an almost incredible growth and development in these provinces, that it has become necessary to publish each separately, otherwise the combined work would’ be too ponderous and unwieldy for general use.
This volume contains a descriptive sketch of the cities, towns, villages, post offices, settlements, etc., in the Province of Alberta and Athabasca District, showing the exact geographical location of each, the railroads and watercourses upon which they are situated, or the nearest points, distance from well-known centres, tne population, banks, churches, schools, telegraph, express and all matters of any importance.
In obtaining the population of the many places herein shown every possible effort has been exercised by the publishers to obtain full data. Many of the country post offices are at present so remote from railway lines that it was impossible, under the circumstances to visit them, and hence, a few do not indicate their full quota of inhabitants. In every case where it was possible to go or to have the names furnished by mail, the full population of town dwellers and the surrounding farmers, ranchers and homesteaders are re- corded.
The use of the Gazetteer is becoming more general every year and its great importance as a business factor is now universally rec- ognized. There is nothing more conducive to the development and extension of commerce than an easy means of communication such as a complete and reliable Gazetteer affords. It is an unexcelled medium for use in the sale and purchase of goods and every business and professional man is entitled'to the opportunities it offers for the classification of his wares and for keeping his card where it may be found at all times by those who seek such information. It is of great value in extolling and advertising the resources of the country and a strong factor in inducing immigration.
The publishers desire to extend their thanks to the enterprising business men of Alberta whose patronage made possible the publica- tion of this valuable work, ‘
Very truly, HENDERSON DIRECTORIES ALBERTA LIMITED June 1911.

Alberta
Alberta is a vast sloping plateau lying east of the Rocky Moun- tains and stretching northward from the International Boundary line to the 60th parallel of north latitude and eastward to longitude 110, the boundary line separating the Province from Saskatchewan. In the Canadian system of land surveys this line is called the fourth meridian. The area, therefore, is roughly speaking 800 miles by 300 miles; actually the province contains 253,540 square miles or 162,755,200 acres; of this 1,510,400 acres are under water, leaving 160,755,200 acres dry land.
Allowing the odd sixty million acres for the rough land of the eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains, other mountains and hills, together with other waste places that will not likely be suitable for cultivation, there still remains the latge amount of one hundred million acres available for settlement. Of this amount about 1,582,- 000 acres were actually in crop during 1910. Thus a little over one per cent. of the arable land has been brought under the plow, a fact which suggests the best agricultural possibilities of the prov- ince.
The natural features of Alberta combine the beauties of prairie and mountain scenery. For three hundred miles open and wooded plains spread out in vast level reaches, and then climb over softly rounded mounds that grow higher and sharper. till they break into jagged points and serried ridges and at last rest upon the base of the Rocky Mountains. These rounded hills that join the mountains to the prairies are called the foothills. They are so distinctive and unique a feature of the country that Alberta is known as the Foothill Province. There are valleys so wide that their farther side melts into the sky and uplands so vast as to suggest the unbroken prairie. Nearer the mountains the valleys dip deep and ever deeper till they narrow into canyons through which mountain torrents pour their blue-gray waters from glaciers that lie glistening between the white peaks far away.
Here are the great ranges on which feed herds of cattle and horses and beside them the rich wheat fields that fatten the plains.
Few people have an adequate. conception of the size of Alberta.
To get such a conception one must understand that Canada is one
of the largest countries in the world, having an area of 3,745.000
Square miles, and practically the same size as the whole continent
_ of Europe. Its provinces are not small duchies or kitigdoms like those of many old-world countries. They are lusty young nations united
in a strong federation, and abounding in all those natural resources
that lie at the foundation of material development and progress.
Alberta is one of the largest and richest of the provinces of Canada,
and contains at the present time the largest and richest areas of
24
untouched agricultural land in America. Its climate is tempered by the chinook winds in the winter. The long sunny days and cool nights of the summer season are especially conducive to rapid and vigorous growth of many varieties of grain, grasses and vegetables. It is a new province with illimitable resources and opportunities. Since it was founded five years ago it has grown in wealth and popu- lation at an enormous rate, but its possibilities are so vast that the province has not yet passed the threshold of its wondrous and inevit- able development.

Climate and Physical Features
The climate of Western Canada has been more or less mis- represented in the literature of the country and especially those writers who have never visited the West. The climate is one of the main attractions of the province. Contrasted with that of On- tario, or the Provinces and States along the Atlantic. Coast, it is clearer, drier and less changeable. Bright sunshine modifies low temperatures to an extent that they are more clement and endurable than temperatures ten to fifteen degrees higher in places subject to winter rains and fogs. The sunlight is peculiarly bright and intense even in the short days of winter, a phenomenon that has justly won the appellation “Sunny Alberta.”
The southern portion of the province has long been noted as a health resort. At Banff, west of Calgary, the hot water springs are famous throughout the world, and annually attract thousands of tourists, as well as numerous invalids for their curative qualities. Similar springs have been found west of Edmonton, where the Grand Trunk Pacific crosses the Rocky Mountains.
Northwestern Canada has too long been regarded as possessing a climate too vigorous for settlement or agriculture. It was formerly regarded merely as a fur-trading country. It is no more peculiarly the seat of the fur trade than was Ontario, Quebec or any other part of Canada or the United States. As a matter of fact, the tur trade of the Northwest has been driven into the regions beyond Alberta into the Mackenzie valley, and is as far removed from the capital of the province as, the fur producing districts are from the capitals of the countries of northern Europe.
Since the Canadian Government purchased Rupert's Land from the Hudson's. Bay Company, in 1870, the remotest districts of the ‘Province have-been explored by expert officials of the Geological
25°
Survey, and patrolled by the Northwest Mounted Police. Ample data has been secured to prove that the climate of Alberta is as favorable to agriculture as any place in the world, Their conclusions have been substantiated by thousands of settlers who have come to the country.
There is one common flora extending from the International Boundary northward to Lake Athabasca and the Peace River, and as that flora requires a high summer temperature for its existence it indicates an even distribution of heat throughout the district during the summer months. This fact places the northern districts of Alberta, the prairies of the Peace River district, and the lands along the Athabasca in the same class as far as grain culture is concerned as those lands in the vicinity of Winnipeg, Regina or Calgary.
‘The production of cereal crops depends entirely upon summer temperatures, and summer conditions of climate.
The rainfall during the year is distributed so as best to promote vegetation in the growing season. The period of greatest rainfall embraces May, June, July and part of August. The latter half of August and September are dry and ideal harvest weather prevails.
The long hours of sunshine in the summer months promote steady and rapid growth and really secure a longer period of actual tissue building in the growing plants than is found in lower latitudes. From the first of June to the first of August there is but about two hours of darkness in the more northerly districts.
Chinooks
The average range of temperature and conditions of climate are materialy. modified by a peculiar phenomenon known as “Chinooks.” "These are warm winds that blow from the mountains and are caused by the condensation of the air and the compression of the moisture as the currents descend from the mountain tops liberating heat. It has been estimated that the air rises ten degrees. centigrade for every 400 feet it descends.
The chinooks occur along the whole range of the Rockies from southern Alberta to the Peace River, though they are more charac- teristic of the south, where the name originated. They have been known to cause a rise in temperature of 60 degrees in a few hours.
Rainfall
The quantity of rain is not less important-than the measure of heat for agriculture and the permanent occupation of any country. After the Bad Lands and the Coteau of the Missouri are passed the level of the prairies descend and the rainfall increases. Cactus and sage bush give place to the nutritious bunch grass of the Southern Alberta ranch lands, and as we proceed northward, to heavier and taller grass, and forest No increase of temperature is observed. but only an increase in moisture, resulting in more equable tempera- tures, which accounts for the fact that the bison sought winter pac- turage and shelter on the grassy stretches and woodland heits of the Peace and Athabasca Rivers.
26
The rainfall is copious and comes in greatest quantity during the growing season, when it is most needed, and ceases just when the harvest is due.
There are no rains or slushy weather in the winter season. In the southern portion of the province snow falls but does not stay. Horses, cattle and sheep graze out all winter. They scratch the dry snow off the grass and grow fat. In the northern portion the snow falls in depths varying from six to eighteen inches and remains from the beginning of December to the beginning of April. Spring opens at the same time along the immense line of plains irom the Mackenzie to Montana.
Physical Features
Absolutely level plains form no great proportion of the surface of the province. It is mostly undulating country diversified by forests, lakes and streams. ‘The whole province may be roughly divided into three great natural divisions Souther. Alberta, Central Alberta and Northern Alberta.
Southern Alberta is open rolling prairie trenched by deep river valleys. It extends north to the Red Deer River. Along its western side extend the Foothills. Here and there in the plains are found hills rising from 3,000 to 4,000 feet high.
Central Alberta occupies the famous valley of the Saskatche- wan. It is park-like country with numerous lakes and streams. The timber, consisting of poplar, spruce and tamarac, grows in consider- able quantities along the lakes and rivers and supplies a large amount of the building material necessary for the settler.
Northern Alberta is the region of great rivers, lakes and forests, besides vast tracts of open prairie like the famous Grande Prairie and the great open terraces of the Peace River valley.
Rivers
The Province of Alberta is the source of two of the four great river systems of the North American continent—the Saskatchewan and the Mackenzie. The Saskatchewan is divided into two great arteries, one of which, with its tributaries, the Bow, Belly, St. Mary, Waterton, Old Man and Red Deer, waters the south, while the north branch with its tributaries, the Brazeau, Clearwater, Sturgeon, Battle, Blindman and Vermilion, waters the great central plains.
The mightiest rivers are in the north. The Peace and the Atha- basca are the two greatest arteries of the Mackenzie system which drains a territory of 1,000,000 square miles. The Peace drains 117,000 and the Athabasca 60,000 square miles of territory. The Hay River, beyond the watershed of the Peace, drains 26,000 square miles.
Natural Vegetation
The natural vegetation of Alberta is luxuriant and varied, and not a single species of plant life indicates arctic or boreal tendency.
Wild plums, choke cherries and June berries are abundant in the Peace River. Strawberries are abundant in the northern slopes and woodlands. Black currants, red currants and gooseberries grow in profusion. Raspberries spring up everywhere where the forest and shrubbery is destroyed by fire
27
No natural feature of Alberta strikes the stranger with more agreeable surprise than the wonderful variety and luxuriance of the native grasses. Whether for pasturage or hay they are alike service- able, ‘There are scores of species which in many regions grow so tall and thick that the traveller finds difficulty in making his way.
Roughly classified, the wild fodder vegetation falls into three divisions, namely: The true grasses, the sedges and rushes and the legumes (peas and vetches). Ninety-six different varieties of grasses have been identified, of which forty-six varieties make excellent hay. Of the sedges and rushes there are at least ninety-four varieties, many of which make good hay and all make splendid pasture during the early spring and summer. The grasses naturally fall into groups as regards their habitats. The true grasses are found on the uplands mixed with wild pea vine and vetches. ‘The great heat of August and September rapidly cures these plants on the ground or upon the trees to which the peas and vetches cling and converts them into nutrient winter pasture or hay. The sedges grow on the lower lands and in the marshes.
Climate and Agriculture
The value of climate in relation to agriculture is as important as the chemical nature of the soil, Good as the soil is it never would have won the supremacy in grain production were it not for the purity of the air, temperature and equilibrium in precipitation. ‘The value of pure air to successful agriculture is almost as important as it is for the health of the population. It prevents the rapid decay and transformation of vegetable matter in the soil and also the too rapid transformation of inert or stored fertility, thus virtually precluding the waste of nature’s capital.
The cold temperature of the summer nights is the cause of the large relative yields and unexpected quality of the grain. In the judgment of the best agriculturists the yield would be lessened pro- Portionately to an increase in the temperature of the summer nights.
The relatively light precipitation is a further boon to the Alberta farmer. The rainfall throuoghout the province varies from. fifteen to twenty inches, which with forty inches in the British Isles or thirty inches in Ontario, seems insufficient, but it is enough to grow good farm crops when intelligently tilled, and not too much to leach the soil. If the quantity of rain were distributed equally throughout GUgty month in the year the comparatively light fall would be insuf- ficient
The uniform fertility of the soil of Alberta cannot be exaggerated. Tt consists of a marly clay subsoil varying from a few fect on the hills and ridges to great depths on the plains. Overlying this is the thick mantle of black or brown vegetable mould. The measure of its value is the amount of nitrogen, potash and phosphoric acid it con- tains, or in other words, its producing power. Like the whole of the Prairie region of Western Canada the country has not been subjected to serious geological disturbances within recent time, and conse- quently the decay remains of the luxuriant vegetation of centuries is compounded in the soil.
28
Cereal Production
Alberta is the last great wheat belt of the American continent. The States of the Union that formerly produced wheat are now producing corn almost exclusively. Ohio, Indiana, Iowa and other States of the Middle West will always remain the corn belt of the continent, while the Provinces of the Canadian Northwest will as surely remain the great wheat producers. The whole province lies south of the wheat line, which bends from the Mississippi northward to the valley of the Peace, reproducing during the period of vegeta- tion the summer heats of New Jersey and Ohio.
The wheat areas of the world are becoming exhausted or utilized
for other crops. Consumption of wheat is increasing at a greater rate than production and an era of high prices is in sight. This scarcity is Canada’s opportunity, and she is quickly taking a leading place in the wheat producing nations of the world. The problem of our agriculture is the problem of supplying bread to the ever- increasing millions of America and Europe, and while marvellous strides have been made in the facilities for transportation of agricul- tural products, yet the real solution of the problem is bringing the population to the food rather than the food to the population. The vision that meets us here is one of ample land awaiting man and of possibilities of agricultural production which can be realized only by augmented immigration. Before and above all of what transport has done, and may yet do to carry agriculture across the sea, the more reasonable prospect is the settlement of these wide areas by a popula- tion resting on the soil which this great province offers. _ The increase in wheat production in Alberta in the last few years is but an index of the great development that is bound to follow in the next decade. Below is given a statement showing the rapidity with which our wheat industry is advancing. The truth is that our wheat lands have been discovered, and nothing can stem or turn aside the stream of immigration that has set in from the United States and the Homeland. Those who come now may get cheap or free lands according to their means and choice of location, and will soon be in a position to take advantage of the era of prosperity that seems assured for the next few years. The land is going quickly, but there are millions of acres still left as productive and fit for settlement as any already taken, and which will soon be reached by railways.
Alberta has christened a new and superior grade of wheat with her own name, “Alberta Red.” It is a winter wheat and has so many distinctive and excellent milling qualities that a new name was necessary to describe it.
It can be grown in any part of the province, and by this means the farmer is able to divide his work into two seasons—a part of his farm being sown to fall wheat, and the other to spring wheat the following season. It can be sown at any season of the year and pastured until the fall and will yield a splendid crop the next year. As soon as the crop is cut the stubble may be sown and disced for the succeeding crop without plowing. ‘Cases are fre- quent where three crops have been cut from one sowing, the second and third being volunteer crops. In 1907, a field of 900 acres near Lethbridge averaged 17 bushels and graded No. 1 northern, and it ‘was only a volunteer crop which cost nothing to put into the ground,
29
“ Winter Wheat
Winter wheat has been successfully grown in the province in a small way for eighteen or twenty years, but it was not until com- paratively recent years that any extensive area was sown to it. With the introduction of “Alberta Red,” a new area for winter wheat came in, and now the land cannot be broken fast enough. ‘The acreage sown to winter wheat has more than doubled each year for a number of years. So far there has been practically no winter killing where the grain was properly put in. Turkey Red wheat from Kansas has been introduced and grows such a superior sample here that it was rechristened “Alberta Red.” It is now shipped back to Kansas for seed.
Winter wheat has been successfully grown at Edmonton and at Fort Vermilion, fully four hundred miles northwest of Edmonton. The wheat is in great demand on the English market on account of its superior mixing qualities. In the southern portion of the prov- ince there has never been a failure where winter wheat was put in properly prepared land. Each yeat sees winter wheat grown with in- creasing confidence over an ever-widening area.
Spring Wheat
‘What has been said of the suitability of the province for winter wheat is equally true regarding spring wheat. ‘The yields have been uniformly good, and when compared with those obtained in the neighboring States to the south of the International boundary line have been uniformly high. An average of 20.62 bushels per acre over ten consecutive seasons is no mean average for the whole of the Province. When Alberta is compared with the spring wheat States of the Union and where irrigation is not employed it will be seen that the yields are much larger and that it is better adapted for wheat culture.
The following table gives the yields for one year (1908) and for a period of ten years (1896-1905) of some of the most important spring wheat States across the line, and compares them with the yields obtained in Alberta for similar periods:

Alfalfa, Clovers and Timothy
The experience of Kansas is apparently being repeated in Alberta. The wheat lands of Alberta have attracted thousands of American farmers and have made them rich. The wheat barons have flourished beside the cattle kings. The attraction of wheat has been the real colonizing factor and the production of it has done the pioneer work in soil cultivation that was necessary to lay the basis of permanent and successful agriculture. It has given the land tilth, permitting the successful growing of other crops such as sugar beets, roots and fodder crops. But when the wheat farm is done growing wheat the farmer knows that its fertility must be maintained and that alfalfa is the crop that feeds the soil and produces a large return of hay as well. The profusion with which the wild vetch and pea grow in all parts of the province proves at once the adaptability of the land to the production of this crop. It is not with the wheat grower alone that alfalfa is growing in favor. The rancher sees his range restircted and must do something to provide pasturage and fodder for his herds. The best crop for his purpose has proved to be alfalfa.
The growing of alfalfa promises to be the great crop of the future, especially in the southern part of this province. It is particularly fitted for cultivation under irrigation and does excellently on non- irrigated lands as the results of the experiments carried on at the Dominion Experimental Farms at Lethbridge and Lacombe last year prove, where an average of three tons of cured hay has been obtained,
The time is close at hand when most of the live stock produced in Alberta, and now marketed in a more or less unfinished condition, will be sent to the rich alfalfa meadows east of Calgary, there to be put into prime shape before being exported or slaughtered. A home market at highly remunerative prices will thus be made avail- able for all the fodder that can be produced on irrigated lands, with the additional advantage of having the feed consumed on the irrigated farm and ultimately returned to the soil that grew it, thus maintain- ing its fertility.
The certainty of the irrigated lands of this district producing alfalfa as a leading crop opens up a vista of possibilities in many directions. During the early years of settlement in this Province, the claim was made that Alberta possessed all the natural conditions to make it one of the leading live stock countries in the world. When farmers invaded the ranchers’ domain later on, and numerous crops of winter wheat and other coarse grains were raised year after year, Alberta’s fame as the foremost stock country faded, and the world henceforth knew it only as a great crop-producing district. The advent of alfalfa will again bring the live stock industry to the front in Southern Alberta ; history thus repeating itself.
31
There is an enormous area of country lying west of Calgary that will always be devoted to the raising of live stock, namely, the foothills. Owing to the difficulty of grain raising there, it is reason- able to suppose that the mature steers will be brought to the central market at Calgary and Lethbridge and shipped out again to the al- falfa meadows of the irrigation belts to be finished prior to export.
Live Stock
Many conditions favorable to the live stock industry are peculiar to Alberta. First, there is abundance of grass for pasturage and hay. The grasses are highly nutritive and excellent beef-producers, while the wild clovers, vetches and peas are unexcelled for the production of milk,
Second, the climate is dry in the cold season, and cattle, horses, sheep and pigs can be wintered without the cost of stabling. An open shed, the shelter of a clump of trees or a straw stack is sufficient for the hardest winter. To those living in wet winter climates such favorable conditions are almost incredible, but in Alberta it is found that the more stock are reared in the open air the stronger and hardier is the type produced.
Third, the fodder straws—wheat, oats and barley—have a higher food value here than in any other part of the world.
The range breeders are organized into two associations, one is called the Western Stock Growers’ Association with headquarters at Macleod, and the other, the Central Alberta Stock Growers’ Asso- ciation, with headquarters at Stettler. The membership of both consists principally of growers of beef cattle. ‘The former consists of the big ranchers whose ranges are south of the main line of the Canadian Pacific Railway. They usually run herds of from 500 to 25,000 cattle. These men are beginning to feel the encroachment of the rapid agricultural development in the vicinity of their ranges and are asking the Government for a more certain tenure of their grazing eases.
The Central Alberta Stock Growers’ Association is comprised of the smaller ranchers operating between the Battle and the Red Deer rivers. They usually own herds of from 50 to 2,000 cattle. Some of them operate on leased land, but the majority run their herds on occupied lands.
Winter fattening among the farmers for the spring market is growing and proving a profitable undertaking. With increasing population theer is a greater demand for beef for home consumption, and to meet this demand a number of abattoirs have been established in the province, the largest of which are those of P. Burns & Co., Calgary; and the Canadian Swift Co., Edmonton.
The interests of the live stock men generally are under the supervision of a Government official, the Live Stock Commissioner for Alberta. He pays particular attention to stock inspection and shipping facilities of the railways.
32
Poultry and Dairying
There is a large field in Alberta for the industrious poultry raiser. A few hundred chickens will yield a good income. No less than $400,000 worth of poultry and eggs were imported into one Alberta city by jobbers alone during 1909 for distribution at Alberta and British Columbia points. The climate is ideal for poultry raising and the markets are the best in Canada. ‘Turkey raising is becoming an industry of importance. Thousands of these birds are grown and fattened for the market in the coast cities, and thousands of dollars are brought into the country every year through this business alone. Where large areas of wheat stubble may be utilized for forage ground, the expense of putting turkeys on the market is very small indeed.
For many years the cattlemen of Alberta devoted their attention almost exclusively to the beef breeds, but of late years farmers are introducing dairy herds of Ayrshires, Jerseys, Holsteins and Guer- seys. All the necessities and circumstances necessary to the success of dairying are present in the Province of Alberta. Abundance of nutrient grass, wild vetches and peas in summer, hay and grain in winter, pure water and a healthful climate constitute the natural adaptability of the country for dairying. These, combined with the advantages of a growing home market in British Columbia, are the conditions which make this industry one of the safest and most remunerative the farmer may follow in this province. Within the last five years the dairy industry has become firmly established es- ecially in Central and Northern Alberta, and the output of the creameries and home dairies is increasing year by year. Natural ad- vantages, technical education along the best scientific methods under government supervision is bound to make Alberta as famous in the production of butter as Denmark and Wisconsin.
A few years ago the dairymen of the province became dissats- fied with the private creameries which were then in operation and asked the government to institute some system of governmental con- trol and management. Eventually a chain of government co- operative creameries were established. Last year there were 24 gov- ernment creameries in operation. These institutions are under the control of the patrons who constitute a co-operative creamery associa- tion. A board of directors looks after the interest of the patrons while the government undertakes the manufacture and sale of the butter. For this purpose the Provincial Government maintains at Calgary the largest and most important dairy station in Western Canada. At the end of every onth each patron is credited with the butter-equivalent of his cream and is advanced 20 cents per pound. When the tital output of the season has been disposed of by the government the patrons receive the balance due for the summer’s product of butter. An officer of the government, the Dairy Com- missioner for Alberta, has charge of the manufactures, storage and sale, _ By means of the cold storage facilities at Calgary the govern- ment is in a position to await a favorable turn of the market and realize the maximum for the patrons of the creamery association. The government charges merely the cost of manufacture and sale. The result of this policy of co-operation has been the building up of an extensive export business in winter and advertising the province as a splendid butter country, a condition that benefits the home dairies and private creameriés,
33
Irrigation
A considerable area of Southern Alberta is subject in some years to drouth. In order to insure against the absence of the neces- sary rainfall irrigation is resorted to and has most satisfactory results. The tendency has been to acquire the easily irrigable lands in the valleys either by homestead entry or by the purchase under the irriga- tion laws, or by both means, and to secure water rights from the nearest stream. The result has been that the equally productive bench lands have remained undeveloped owing to the higher cost of bring- ing water to them. Usually each farmer owns his own system of ditches but gradually the farmers are beginning to realize that better results can be obtained by co-operation in building larger ditches following a higher level from which laterals may be run out to the jands of each co-owner. By this means a larger acreage is coming under cultivation and the proportionate cost is less than by indepen- dent systems.
The quantity of irrigable lands which may be used by indepen- dent farmers is small compared with the large areas that can be irri- gated only by comprehensive engineering schemes. consequently the government has adopted the policy of disposing of large tracts of land to companies subject to agreements to construct works for irri- gation of not less than fifty per cent. of the area sold and to supply water to the settlers on terms satisfactory to the government or in specified agreements.
‘The largest of these companies is the Canadian Pacific Railway. This company has undertaken the construction of the largest irriga- tion system in America. About one-third of the system has been fin- ished and the lands placed on the market at satisfactory and very at- tractive terms. The tract covers over 3,000,000 acres extending from the City of Calgary in a strip forty miles wide in the Bow River Val- ley for 150 miles. Settlers are flocking to this region. The company provides ready-made farms for settlers and maintains demonstration farms for their instruction. Through the administration department of the Canadian Pacific Railway the company breaks, seeds and fences the land for the buyer in advance of his settling upon it, and in many other ways promotes the welfare of the new settler.
The Southern Alberta Land Company has been given permission to purchase 380,000 acres of these lands between the Bow and Belly Rivers and the right to divert 2,000 cubic feet of water per second from the Bow River at high and flood stages which is stored in Lake Macgregor for the season’s requirements. The quantity of water is sufficient to irrigate at least 300,000 acres of the company’s grant.
__ The Alberta Railway and Irrigation Company is the pioneer of irrigation in Western Canada. Their land lies along the St. Mary, Belly and Milk Rivers, and from which the water is obtained. In 1902 they were given the right to purchase 500,000 acres in addition to their railway grant land.
Lands are sold at $5 per acre without water rights and $30 with such tights plus an annual charge of $1 per acre.
34
A very profitable beet sugar industry has developed in this dis- trict. Over 400,000 tons of beets are consumed annually at the sugar factory at Raymond. The lands of this company like those of the Canadian Pacific Railway are developing rapidly. Through the agency of irrigation these portions of the province are becoming closely settled mixed farm districts and rapidly increasing in wealth and public improvements.
Another tract of 9,000 acres has been sold to the Aylwin Syndi- cate, comprising townships 14, 15, 16, range 17, and township 14, range 16, west Fourth Meridian, subject to the construction of works that will irrigate at least quarter of this area.
‘Water and Fuel
The water supply is ample for all the needs of settlement. There are numerous rivers, and innumerable creeks and lakes. Thousands of beautiful crystal streams rise in the foothills on the west side of the province and thread their course eastward over the plains to join the larger rivers. In the higher regions these streams generally teem with mountain trout. Otherwise, water is found, here as it is in any other country by boring or digging for it. Invariably the water found in Alberta wells is sweet and wholesome. There are no poisonous springs, and horses and cattle have roamed the plains in the early days from one end of the year to the other and have never been known to suffer from a water famine. The concerted opinion of surveyors, travellers and ranchmen is testimony to the fact that not a spring or lake has been found in the province where horses or cattle refuse to drink. Wells sunk to a moderate depth anywhere in the drift which covers the whole country will contain good, sweet water. Deep wells which penetrate the underlying clay sometimes yield mineral waters which are not so good for general use.
There can never be a fuel famine in Alberta as long as there are miners left to dig coal out of the earth and cars to haul it to the consumers. In hundreds of places it is not necessary to go far down. It can be dug out of the river banks. Almost every river in the prov- ince cuts through seams of coal. Alberta is one of the greatest store- houses of coal in the world. Coal beds extend from the plains to the mountains and comprise many grades, varying from lignite, bitu- minous to the best anthracite varieties.
The Province of Alberta is liberally supplied with coal areas.
East of the Foothill area lies a great extent of coal-bearing rocks which are comparatively undisturbed. The coal in this region g@, is well suited for domestic use; and as it is within the settlement belt, where wood is scarce, a demand for it is assured. They extend north from near the International boundary to near the Peace River, covering an area of at least 10,000 square miles,
Another coal formation occupies the southeastern border of the province with an area of 5,000 square miles; the seams in this are of more value in the southern portion than farther north or east. The principal mines in this area are to be found near Lethbridge.
35
Below is given an estimate prepared by the Geological Survey of Canada of the coal areas in Alberta and their estimated contents. Tt indicates that the known stores of coal may supply the province, the whole of the prairie region and the western states with coal for many centuries.

Lignite
In some parts of Alberta almost every rancher or farmer owns a coal mine, and in very few places are the farmers forced to haul coal long distances. ‘The projection of the Grand Trunk Pacific and Canadian Pacific Railways into the country west of Edmonton has encouraged prospecting in that region with the result that several mines of good steam coal have been discovered and opened up.
The Dominion Government has provided for a cheap supply of coal for the settlers. By a clause in the Dominion Lands Act, all coal leases contain a provision whereby settlers may obtain their coal at the mine for $1.75 per ton.
Timber
In addition to coal there is a good supply of wood in many parts of the province, which is taken advantage of in many ways by the farmers and settlers. The eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains are well covered with timber of sufficient size for commercial pur- poses. This timber follows the streams and valleys out from the mountains. In the park country, which covers the most of the central + I northern portions of the province, considerable timber is found fit for commercial purposes; and numerous sawmills exist, principally on the streams and rivers. The logs are floated down these streams from the timber limits and are held in booms at the various mills. The lumber from these mills, together with the product of the British Columbia mills, which can be obtained at well stocked yards in every town, puts lumber within easy reach of every settler. Trees of the following varieties are found: Poplar, aspen, birch, elm, cottonwood, willow, maple, ash, spruce and pine.
36
The homesteader is allowed to cut a certain amount of lumber from Government lands for building purposes. Spruce, _ poplar, birch, pine and fir are the different woods cut for commercial pur- poses. In the park country there is ample timber of sufficient size for the construction of log buildings, and in many districts miles and miles of rail fencing are to be found. There is also an abundance of wood for fuel in the same districts. These conditions make it very easy for the homesteader to get started. On the open prairie trees grow very readily and the Dominion Government have established a large nursery for the propagation of trees, which are given to settlers free provided they comply with certain conditions regarding cultivat- ing and caring for them. In this way wind-breaks around farm buildings are springing up rapidly and it will not be long before the open prairie will be converted into a park country, Once the trees become established and fires are prevented from touching them, the giowth is simply wonderful.
Schools
The province has an excellent system of education, and liberal aid is given by the state towards securing the highest advantages in keeping up the standards of work and the professional qualification of teachers. School districts are established by the government on application of the ratepayers as soon as there are eight children in a school section, The work in the public schools is divided into eight standards. The three upper standards are devoted to the work ordinarily carried on in the High Schools of the eastern prov-- jnces of Canada and the same as carried on in the upper standards of the state schools of the United States.
School districts are organized by the government, but are con- trolled and maintained by the ratepayers. In addition to the local rates levied by each district the government grants aid based upon school attendance, number of days school is kept open in the year, the grade of teacher employed and upon the character of the work as reported upon by the state school inspector. The government grants to the public schools constitute 66 per cent. of their mainten- ance. In this respect Alberta leads the Dominion. In 1909 these grants were $5.70 per head of the-school population compared with £2.00 the average of the two best provinces of Eastern Canada.
Since the province was organized five years ago a wonderful expansion in educational work has taken place. Eight hundred and fifty new school districts have been established, while the school population has Increased from 24,000 to 45,000. There has been a great increase in the number of centres at which students are pre- pared for higher educational work in the upper standards and in the university. In 1906 there were only six state school inspectors com- pared with thirteen at the present time.
Three years ago the Provincial Normal School was opened at Calgary for the training of Alberta teachers. The staff comprises five experts with a model practice school department and in equip- ment and architecural beauty is the finest teachers’ training institu- tion in Canada. No province in the Dominion has better teachers. Tt draws the best teachers from the older provinces of Canada, and has the highest percentage of first class certificated teachers and uni- versity graduates in the profession of any province in Canada.
36A,
‘The University of Alberta opened its doors in October, 1908, and since that time has made rapid and satisfactory growth. All present there are 140 students proceeding to degrees in Arts and Applied Science. It has a staff of twelve professors and a splendid building js in course of erection on the campus which in points of architee tural excellence and utility will equal those of the oldest and richest universities on the continent.
Roads and Bridges
Good roads are indispensable to the progress of agriculture. Every settler and farmer is intensely interested in good roads which jaises the value and increases the profit of everything he produces, Since the province was organized five years ago the government has spent the largest sums of public money upon roads and bridges, and have vastly improved the means of jocal transportation. — Duri taht time nearly $8,000,000 have been appropriated in public improve- ments, During the last four years 1,600 bridges have been built and repaired.
Telephones.
Alberta was the first province in Canada to own and operate its own telephone system. When the province was organized in 1905 the telephones were controlled by a private corporation. The rates were high and the service unsatisfactory. As soon as it was prac- ticable the new government began to build its own trunk lines, tural lines for farmers and town exchanges. This action was such a blow to monopoly of the private corporation that the government was finally able to purchase the corporation lines at a reasonable price, and now the province owns and operates its own telephones at cost and in the interests of the people. At the present time the province owns and operates 3,500 miles of long distance line, and about 2,500 miles of rural or farmers’ lines. There are over 1,600 subscribers in the province, 3,000 of whom are farmers.
Demonstration Farms
At the last session of the legislature the government decided upon the establishment of six demonstration farms to be located at various parts of the province for the purpose of demonstrating agricultural possibilities and of ascertaining the specific methods of crop culture and soil tillage suitable to the respective districts where the farms are to be situated. It is a system of practical education that will reach the farmers directly and afford them the object lesson of having difficulties solved for them for which they have neither the time, experience nor money. ‘These farms are to be moderate but up to date in equipment, and will be such that any energetic and well-to-do-farmer may emulate.
Short courses in agriculture comprising lectures and demon- strations in the subjects of grain, soil, weeds, poultry, dairying, breed- ing and feeding of live stock are held annually during the winter season at different points throughout the province. The session. jasts from one to two weeks and is attended by large numbers of farmers, who thus have the benefits of technical education brought to their doors.
36B
Railways
Three transcontinental lines traverse the province from east to west. There are in reality five transcontinentals in the province. The Grand Trunk Pacific, the Canadian Northern and the Canadian Pacific Railways have lines that cross the province, converging at Edmonton, the provincial capital, and spreading out over the rich country west before they meet again at the Yellow Head Pass in the Rocky Mountains on their way to the Pacific Coast. The main line of theCanadian Pacific Railway passes some distance south of the middle line of the province through Calgary and reaches the Pacific Ocean by the Kicking Horse Pass. In the extreme south another line of the Canadian Pacific Railway passes some distance south of the coast by the Crow’s Nest Pass. In addition to these main arteries of commerce numerous branch lines have been built and many more are under construction,
Recognizing the vital importance of railways in promoting devel- opment, the provincial government is carrying out an energetic and forward policy regarding railways. In a short time the remotest town and the most isolated homesteader will be certain of railway transportation and a market. The policy of the government in the question of railways and roads is that the system shall be so devel- oped that the remotest farmer may travel to market and back home the same day. During the session of 1909 the government guaranteed the branch lines of the Grand Trunk Pacific and Canadian Northern Railway Companies to the extent of $20,000,000. A considerable amount of the work guaranteed has been constructed up to the pres- ent time and nearly all has been commenced. The Canadian Pacific Railway, although it has no provincial guarantee, is extending branch lines and trunk lines in every part of the province, particu- larly in Central and Southern Alberta.
Hudson’s Bay Railway
The Federal government is keenly interested in the transporta- tion problem of Alberta, and is committed to the construction of a railway line from the Alberta systems to the Hudson’s Bay. This project provides a new and shorter freight route to the European markets, and, according to a statement made in the House of Com- mons by the Minister of Railways, will save five cents per bushel on all wheat shipped by this line. “The appropriations for the construc tion of the road have been voted by the Dominion Parliament.
At present most of the grain grown in Alberta goes east by way of Winnipeg and the Great Lakes ports. The Canadian Pacific Railway are now giving a rate to Vancouver, which makes it Ppos- sible to ship wheat and other grain from the Pacific Coast via Cape Horn or the Isthmus of Panama by train to the Old Country mar- kets. Several shipments have been made this way and are believed to be but the forerunners of an extensive grain trade. Large mills are in operation at Calgary and Edmonton for grading wheat.
36C
Alberta is an agricultural country and, though its future history will witness a wonderful development in those industries dependent upon extensive mineral resources, the calling of the farmer embracing grain culture and live stock breeding will never fail in a land that possesses the soil and climate of the Foothill Province of the West.
The importance of Alberta to Canada lies in the fact that it has land in limitless quantity for the settlers from every part of the Empire and the United States. Railway development in Alberta will open more agricultural land than is possible in any part of Ameri- ca. The trek of the American farmer after the golden sheaf has begun and will continue until all the homestead and cheap land is taken up.
Agriculture today is witnessing a great revival. The new farmer has come with his crop-breeding, soil chemistry, applied physics and economics. As the nineteenth century was the century of the factory, so shall the twentieth be the century of the farm. Land will attain a fixed value to the extent that its attractions shall overcome the tendency towards city life. Nowhere will the new agriculture be attended with more fruitful results than in the new province of Alberta.
