The Major

CHAPTER V
20/33

"You want to go West." Again Mr.Gwynne nodded.
"Well, there's only one spot in the West--Alberta.

You want a farm." "Yes," said Mr.Gwynne.
"Yes, certainly," said Mrs.Gwynne.
"There's just one farm that will suit you, an' that's Lakeside Farm, Wolf Willow, Alberta, owned by H.P.Sleighter, Esq., who's going to stump you to a trade.

Five hundred acres, one hundred broke an' a timber lot; a granary; stables and corral, no good; house, fair to middlin'.
Two hundred an' fifty acres worth ten dollars at least, best out of doors; cattle run, two hundred acres worth five; swamp and sleugh, fifty acres, only good to look at but mighty pretty in the mornin' at sun-up.
Not much money in scenery though.

Building worth between two and three thousand.

Your plant here is worth about six thousand.
