CANADIAN NORTHWEST.
Report of Farmers from Maine who Wis
tied Manitoba and Western
Canada In 1899.

Wmnipeg j. certainly the Chicago Of
the Caua,lian North. west aud will Ia time
he one OF the largest cities on the American
continent.
On saturday, 10th April, we started from
W nnipeg for Calgary, and saw on all sides
evidence Of great prosperity ~ we passed
over the prairie. We noticed that the farm
ers were seeding far earlier than We could In
the state of Maine.
We arrived at Calgary on Monday. This
town Is the great rsnching centre OF the
Northwest.
We startel for Red Deer the following
day. We had all read the Rev'd Leo.
GaetZ's pamphlet on this district, and We
now say that he has not said half OF
what there Is to be said about this grand
country. We drove about - mics with
a pair OF brOnchOs that had been running
out doors all winter. Here We began to
sec the park region about which Mr..
Child had told Us, and We would not have
believed that it was possible for any
country to have such fine grasses In Its
natural state. We saw veins Of coal on
the banks OF the Saskatchewan fifteen
feet thick and over eight miles in length.
All n farmer has to do in that district Is TO
drive down to the river and take home iuel
| enough for II month or more: The whole
country is splendidly adapted for mixed

Edmonton. We returned east as far rs
Regina, a fine town. the capital OF the North
west Territories and the seat Of the North
west legislative Assembly. The country
around Regina Is OF n good class. At Prince
! Albert, one Of the principal towns OF tue
north, we saw two large steamers. These
steam RS run on the Saskatchewan River
AM adjoining lakes from Edmonton to Sci
! kirk.
We inspected the Carrot River aud Stony
Creek districts, and without doubt il Is one
of the finest If not the finest, countries on the
| continent OF America as all the requisites
! for successful farming are found here in
| great abundance. The water is first class,
| and there is enough timber for building pur-
! poses aud fuel, without il being in the way
/ for farming operations. Wespent four days
/ looking over this country.
We noticed that the prices paid for farm
produce were such that with reasonable care
! aud good management, farmer IN the Cam
] adam North West ought TO become indie
pendent in very few wears. The climate
! slavery agreeable one
/ In conc usion we wish to state that the
! hest evidence we can give OF our entire sat
! i-faCtion with the country is this: that rs
| soon IS we possibly can. we are going to sell
out our property in the State Of Maine and
move TO the great Canadian Northwest,
where we intend to take up land and make
our future home, aud our advice to every
man, woman and child in the State Of Maine
particularly, and the United States gen.
orally, is: eco and do likewise"
