da, Western Canada, before taking up
their home there visited the coun-
try as delegates. They reported to
the Government Of the Dominion OF
Canada the result Of their observations,
and from this report extracts have
been taken, which are published below:
I'VE have visited a number Of most
desirable locations, and are highly
pleased with the country as whole,
1t being beyond our highest expecta-
tons. We find here prosperous and
well-contented lot of people. They
have comfortable homes, and their vast
fields of wheat and other crops in addi-
ton to their herds Of choice cattle, in
dictate prosperity in the full sense Of
the word. In conversation with the
farmers throughout our trip we learned
that the majority OF them came here
with very limited means. and some
with no more than enough to
bring them here, and they are now,
well-to-do. They all claim that this 10
the only country for q poor man, or.
one with little means, to get start
and make home for himself and fam
lily. AS you are aware, we were a
little shaky and undecided before leav-
ing Detroit, but have determined since
that we, with our friends, will make
this country our future home. It is
far from being the wilderness we had
pictured it to be; it is, instead, land
having all the facilities required by
modern civilization, such as railroads,
markets, stores, churches, schools, etc,
in fact, an ideal home for these having
the future welfare Of themselves and
families at heart"
The. Messrs. Striovski selected the
Alameda district, but what they say
OF it applies in a general way to most
other districts in that vast country
They speak of the fuel, which is to be
had in great quantities, of the water
that can be had by digging from 10 to
20 feet, and Of the good grazing land
to be had almost everywhere. There ls,
plenty Of wood for building timber and
for fuel, while coal is convenient, apd
sells at low prices at the mines. m
driving through the country theyk
passed may fine patches Of wild rasp-F
berries, and say they can speak highly,
OF their favor, as they could not resia
the temptation to stop and eat.
Having already transgressed on your
valuable space, I shall defer furthers
reference to Western Canada for an
other issue. An illustrated pamphlet
recently issued by the Department Of
the Interior, Ottawa, Canada, giving a.
complete description of the country,
will be forwarded free to all who write
for it. Yours,

years L have been almost constant suf-
ferer from diarrhoea, the frequent at

salesman kindly gave me small bottle
of Cham mberlain's Collie, Cholera and

relief from the affliction." For sale by
