C. G. IN CANADA.
G. G. FRIENDS: Am the only c. @. member In
Canada? have never heard of any others, and so
conclude that am the only one. at least, in this
part.
My home is In the Saskatchewan Valley through
which the noble saskatchewan River winds its way
among beautiful low-lying hills as it flows rapidly
on its way from the Rocky Mountains to Lake
Winnipeg.
Although having lived here but a year. have
already become much attached to my new home.
Stock raising and farming the chief industries
at present, but the territory abounds In minerals
and in the near future will become a rich mining
country.
When have read my NATIONAL TRIBUNE lend
1t to my Canadian friends, and through its agency
they have become deeply interested in the Ameri-
can veterans, and look for the paper with as much
pleasure on it's arrival as | do. Pro Patria-
