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
Mr.. Keller had represented ito be. It
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
chance to sec its productive quality,
which cannot be surpassed anywhere,
Inc cattle could not be in better con-
dltlon. 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 hcrded in summer. AS
we mad 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 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. IL we were suited, but
we have now decided to move at once;
that is, as early this fall as we pos
sibly can. We left Mr.. Riede at
Alameda, and take back his report. and
we will take his family and effects with
US when we go.

M. 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 $35 per month and board
working for farmers. and the board
was the best we ever had-the beef and
mutton especially were excellent. The
fine 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 GO lbs. to the bushel;
oats 4S lbs, and barley often So lbs
Any man with a 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 we'll 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
9l per Dusnel. we are going DacK 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 e Northwestern r. II.
You can refer any one to lis 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,

The August Work of the Young Woman's
Christian Association.

The monthly meeting of the board Of
directors of the Young Women's Christian
association. was held yesterday after
noon. Through tho month of August the
association has by its rooms been Of
special convenience to women who ara
travelling, offering them quiet place
to rest and through its boarding house
directory directing those who might wish
comfortable lodging places.
One young girl who had lost her pocket
book and ticket while travelling, found
through the association the direction
which she very much needed, and which
it is the desire of the ASSOCIATION to give.
The number of women who have at
various times during the past five weeks
found lodging place at the railroad
home, shows the usefulness of that de-
partment The remark of one woman ur.
on inquiry concerning the work of
which she had known nothing, that it
was what she called practical Christiani-
ty, illustrates the impression which 1T
makes upon the minds of those observ-
ing Its workings.
Following is the statistical report Tor
August: Attendance at noon rest, 20;
attendance at Gospel service, 10l; visits
TO the rooms, COS; applications for help,
43; application for employm emit, 90; d.
reoted to boarding houses, IS; total atten-
dance at the rooms during the month.

THE rRJrH OF THE MATTER.
Advice to Young People Who Haye Jour
nalistic Aspirations.


l suppose the reason why expert
enced writers do not sound a warning
note regarding the charmingly told
tales of country girls going to thecity
and getting on the staff of some great
daily paper in the twinkling of an eye,
is because they all know so well that
such things are not true, and that
everyone else knows just how unreal
sonablc anything Of the kind must be.
I was reading not long ago of ayoung
lady who went from a little country
town to New York, intending to be a
Journalist" (real writers are mere
workers.. She did not even know the
meaning of copy "slug," special"
"space, '"stick, String or spread"
nevertheless, five minutes after she
entered the editors office she was
given big Especial" and the promise
that if she got up "rattling good
story" she should be placed on the
regular staff. Needless to say here,
she had the "story' ready for the next
days paper, although it would have
taken an experienced writer at least
three days to gather the material to-
gether, aside from the "write-up."
This lady ended by marrying the man
aging editor. Anything different
could hardly be expected from such
remarkable person.
The truth of the matter is, it is one
of the hardest things in the world to
get position on the staff of q daily
paper, to say nothing of being en-
trusted with big specials" Staff
members are generally taken from the
ranks of Space writer's, and "space"
writers arrive bya route which all of us
who have been there know, but which
is impossible to describe to one just
starting out. 1t is rocky and thorny,
narrow and slippery, but can be got
over in time, and the thing that takes
you over is energy, perseverance, and
special aptness for the work. First,
you must know news when you see
it; then, you must know howto tellit.
If you are a born newspaper person,
you will not only know news when
you see it, but you will "smell" it, and
work; you will work with your pen,
exactly as man works with pick and
shovel. A writer never writes; he
gets to work-digs in; and as for writ
ing the things you want to, that's out
of the question; you must write the
things wanted.
1t is very difficult to give rules or
advice to young beginners. One of
the best rules is to write and keep
writing, on any and every subject, as
it helps train the mind, always re-
Numbering that from many failures
comes success. But no poor widow
will ever pay off a mortgage from the
proceeds Of her first story, or her sec
ond one, either. Many people mis-
take the desire to write for natural
genius. 1t is a great mistake, as they
are not even relations, and that is one
reason editors are so often misjudged,
and thought hard and unfeeling.-
