They Think Edmonton the Future Country

The delegation of Michigan farmers
who have been inspecting lands in the
Northwest with view of immigrating
TO that country with their families and
friends, have made the following re-
port:
I'VE arrived at Winnipeg on July
Goth. The Manitoba provincial exhibit
ton was then open, and was visited by
us. The cattle and horses were beyond
our expectations; the former, fattened
on prairie grass, were superior to much
stall fed stock that we have seen. The
other exhibits were a credit to the new
province. We arrived at Calgary on
duly 30. The crops west of Winnipeg
32S miles were very good. The Portage
district, which we passed through, was
one of the best we have ever seen, the
wheat. barley, oats, all apparently per-
feet as to quality and quantity. The
Brandon district was also very good.
On our passage we saw many fields of
grain of 80 and 100 acres, many miles
of grain as far as the eye could reach.
''We visited the city of Calgary with
its population of 4, 500 at the foot of the
Rockies. A number of its buildings
are built of stone quarried about two
miles from the center of the city. The
country about this place is known as
the ranching country. We visited the
Chapan rancho, which has 1000 heat
of cattle and GOO horses. Both the
cattle and horses looked in prime con-
dition. Though the grass was very
short, it was plentiful and succulent.
We also saw in one flock 1000 sheep,
and heard of another of 5000. Stock
of all kinds thrive in Alberta.
"On Monday, August 2d, we took the
Edmonton and Calgary railroad for Ed
monitor. We found appearance of the
country improved as we travelled north;
so miles from Calgary all the growth
commenced to be very luxuriant, the
grass being especially good We
found that many settlers were already
in the country, and every station filed

are two coal mines at Edmonton. Coal

the North Saskatchewan. We were in

per day. We saw a great many hoclks

Presently it was observed that as

so that they took TO their heels and
did not dare to approach the door
again.
But when certain other voters came
up the bull stepped back politely and

being made in other powders in an effort to get

or that follow changes of proprietorship or manu-

certain and equal in its work; teaspoonful does
the same perfect work to-day that it did yesterday,

While the last teaspoonful in a can of Royal is

The same means are not employed by other
manufacturers. There have been a great many
limitations of the Royal, but no equals. Pure

great majority of baking powders alum is added to
give them strength, while cheapening their cost
The great popularity and general use of the
Royal Baking Powder attest its superiority.

Hyou want the best food, you will be interested
In the following facts, which show why Royal"
Is the best baking powder, why it makes the best
and most wholesome food and why its use has
become almost universal - its sale greater in this
country than the sale Of all other cream of tartar
baking powders combined
The Royal Baking Powder NEVER fails.
1t is absolutely purc and wholesome.
1t is combined from the most approved

1t makes the finest favored, most tender,

1t makes food that viii keep sweet, moist

The reasons why the Royal Baking Powder is
superior to all others in these respects are easily
stated. One is because it is made from chemically
pure materials; another is because it is made with
greater care and accuracy than any other. 1t is
always uniform in composition and leavening
power. ? 1t has been the standard baking powder
