NJ. V. McInnes. ESQ.,, Colonization
Agent Detroit, Mich. Dear Strive
have just returned from the West, AID
were exceedingly well pleased with the
country. We are going back to take
up our homesteads in early spring. We
received $50 per month and board
working for farmers. and the board
was the best we ever had--the beef and
mutton especially were excellent. The
line flavor is owing to the fine grasses
which the cattle and sheep feed upon.
The people are very hospitable, and
treat their hired help with much kind
ness
The grain is much heavier than
here; wheat being e. lbs. to the buShel;
oats IS lbs, and barley often 55 lbs.
Any man with good team and
money enough to buy provisions and
seed for six months can become rich
there in five years. Many people who
arrived there five years ago with
little. or nothing. are well off now.
One man | met held his wheat from
last year and was offered $4,000 for
this years crop and what he had held
over from last year, and is holding at
81 per bushel. We are going back in
the spring to work for this same farm
er until seeding, after which we will
homestead between seeding and har-
vest We think We will settle on the
Manitoba & Northwestern r. r..
You can refer any one to rs for this
part of the country, while We are here.
and we will cheerfully answer any
questions which anyone may wish to
ask. Yours truly,

Winnipeg, Man, Sept. 10, 1897.
Mr.. M. V. McInnes, Chief Colonial
ton Agent, Detroit, Mich. Dear Sir
we are pleased to state to you that we
nave found the country in the vicinity
OF Alameda fully up to what you and
MI. Keller had represented 1t to be. n
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 threshing, we had an excellent
cnance to see its productive quality,
which cannot be surpassed anywhere.
Inc cattle could not be in better con-
oltlon. We saw two year old steers
equal to three year old raised in most
places, and these, as are all others
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 a
large number Of farmers. to locate
suitable land for mixed farming, We
are now IN a position to say that the
Alameda district of Western Canada
surpasses them all. The country is
equal to that about Thuringen In Ger
many. We were rather sceptic before
starting. and our intention was to set
Tie In spring, II We were suited hut
we have now decided to move at once:
that Is. as early this fall as we DOS
sibly can. We left Mr.. Riedel at
Alameda, and take back his report, and
we will take his family and effects with
us when We go.

paper published on the Mesaba,
but from the fact of its two ear
lier competitors having left the
field it has succeeded to the po-
sition of the oldest publication
on the range. We have endeav
ored to make of the paper a rep
resentative journal of the inter-
ests of Virginia and vicinity, and
at q retrospective glance have
cause to appreciate the substan-
tial manner in which our efforts
have been repaid; for while we
have not grown financially cor
pulent from our five years of la
Dor we have been enabled to rise
from the ashes :and replace and
pay for the best outfit on the
range since the fra wiped out
our earthly possessions in '93.
This has been made possible onlv
through strict economy and hard
work, but we make allowance for
the small income of the advertis
ing and job departments from
our local merchants, as the bust.
ness depression which has pre-
vailed throughout the iron coun-
try has been more severely felt
here than at many other points
We have, however, continued to
hold our advertising columns for
home merchants against the en-
croachments of Headers" from
Duluth advertisers, believing
that with the Frightening of the
business our temporary loss will
become our permanent gain, and
that the editor will then be re.
lieved of the necessity of acting
in the capacity of foreman. job
printer, reporter, boss and ''dev-
il" in order to make the income
pay current bills and salaries.
The Enterprise has and will
ever remain as q staunch sup
porter of home trade and home
industry; dollar that is spent
at home for merchandise or home
labor is a dollar that will remain
in circulation at home and aid to
the wealth of the community. AS
has been truly said saving is the
foundation of wealth, SO is the
patronage of home industry the
keystone of local prosperity.
The present year opens with
radically different conditions than
those which have marked the
opening of any year since the
commencement of the panic in
1892, whatever may have been
the cause, politically or other
wise, of those conditions. The
beginning of no year since '92
has brought much hope or cheer
to the people of the United States
but the opening of the year 1898
tells a different tale. People all
