Mr., NJ. V. McInnes, Chief Colonization
Agent, Detroit, Mich:
Dear Sir: We are pleased to state to you
that we have found the country in the vi
entity of Alameda fully up to what you
and Mr.. Keller had represented it to be-.
1t is in fact an ideal location for mixed
farming The soil is the best we ever saw,
and as the farmers were all busy at thresh-
ing, we had an excellent chance to see its
productive quality, which cannot be sur
passed anywhere. The cattle could not be
steers equal tosthree-year-olds raised in
most places, and these, as all others are
about Alameda, were fed on native hay in
winter and herded in summer. AS we had
previous to this visited the Northwestern
States in behalf of large number of farm
ers, to locate suitable land for mixed farm
ing, we are now in position to say that
the Alameda district of Western Canada
surpasses them all. The country is equal to
that about Thuringen in Germany. We
were rather skeptic before starting, and our
intention was to settle in spring, if we were
suited, but we. have now decided to move
possibly can. We left Mr. Riedel at Ala
media, and take back his report, and we
will take his family and effects with us when

Alameda, N. W. T., Aug. 81, 1887.
Dear Friends of Saginaw:
Those desiring to secure good and sure
home will do we'll to take our advice and
examine the land in the neighborhood of
Alameda, as we know that everyone who
sees this land will be agreeably surprised.
Before seeing this land we were partly in
doubt as to moving here, but after looking
it over we at once decided to make our
home here, and we beg those of our friends
who are DESTROYS Of securing farms not to
let this chance slip by, as the soil is of the
best and the water cannot be excelled. The
finest wheat we ever saw is also raised here
We shall return home in haste, straighten
out our affairs and move here at once.
Yours truly,

The Prof. is we'll known throughout the county, is a true blne Demo. crat, has many-warm friends and all believe him to be worthy and well qupaafiified for the place st3 which be aspires.-.Ss{5 has been County Examiner for some years and i'll this capacity has shown his ability and qualifications as an officer.
 T. H. Youngblood, of Hol- ly Grove, has the distinction to be the 4th and last man to enter the race for County Treasurer, but believes in the Bibles saying, "the first shall be last and the last shall be first" His qualifi- cations for the place to which he aspires are not in the least doubted by those who know him. He is an old Hickory Democrat of the Arkansas growth and will undoubted ly be close to the line at the closing time.
 Stephen Simon, of Clare Il don, is in the quadrangulal race for County Treasurer MT. Simon is one of the pros porous farmers of our county and his many friends take pleasure in assuring the few people who do not know hin that he is i'll every wa, worthy and we'll qualified fol the position to which he as pires.

IT is indeed very pleasing to the writer to see the progressive and appreciative spirit shown by our people to the ARGUS ill the big work of getting up the Illustrated Souvenir Easter Edition. With but few exceptions our people
 have responded nobly and even these few exceptions are now making up their minds to come in and assist. This is indeed en- couraging and maKes the writer feel glad that he has cast his lot with such a people-a people who appreciate our earnest work for the benefit and future develop ment of our country and city.

THE WAR SITUATION.
Things are a Little Unsettled Spain and Uncle Sam both Getting Ready for War. No Report from the
 Court of Invest
 igation'Yet.

Despite the assurance of those in the high places of both tho Spanish and U. s. Government
 that "there is no danger of war, both countries are going ahead arranging for, and spending mll'
 lions of dollars in making ready for war in every way possible,
 In Washington everything on the surface appears to be quet, but while this is the case, the hum of industry in all branches IS pro gressing as necessarily and stead fly as for the past two weeks.
 The recruiting branch of the Navy Department is naturally one of the biggest branches of the ser vice just now. It is ill the tempo rary command of Capt. Hemphlll during the absence ln the South of Capt. Hawley who Is very busy with the representatives or the railroads, engaged in arrarlg- ing for terms for transportation of recruits to the seaboard and sailors already in the service from mort to another, made necessary by the commission of new ships.
 A problem that confronts the recruiting office IS to procure the necessary force of enlisted men fer manning the two ships which have been purchased from Brazll, the Amazonas and the Admiral Breu. The offices of the Naviga- ton Bureau are making all ar engagements for the speediest pos sible delivery of the two ships on this side of the Atlantic. It will probably require abaut 250 men for each ship, and the question IS whether these men shall be hired abroad in England under special arrangements for the one trip. or whether regular crew shall be sent out from the United States to bring them home.
 The first method is undoubted- ley the quickest, but it will not be available in case there should be a open rupture before the com pletion of the two ships. The investigation of the Maine affair is about over and it is claim cd that the report will show that the terrible affair was caused by outside agencies. It is thought the Court was convinced of this within four days after the inves- tigatlon started and that the mat ter is being drawn out and the report withheld in order to give this Government an opportunity to prepare for the result of such 8 finding.
