Detroit, Mich.
Dear Sir: We have just returned from
the West, and were exceedingly well pleased
with the country. We are going back to
take up our homesteads in early spring.
We received $500 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 kindness
The grain is much heavier than here,
wheat being 81 lbs. to the bushel, oats 48
lbs. and barley often S. 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 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 it at $l0O per bushel.
We are going back in the spring to work for
this same farmer until seeding, after which
we will homestead between seeding and
harvest. We think we will settle on the
Manitoba & Northwestern r. r.
You can refer anyone to us for this mart
of the country while we are here and we
will cheerfully. answer any questions which
anyone may wish to ask. Yours truly.

IOWA RAILWAYS.
The Executive Council Completes the
Assessment, Increasing the Total
Amount About $4,000.

The executive council has completed
the railway assessment, and the net re-
suit is an increase Of about $4,000 in
the total assessment, so that the rail-
way property in the state is now as
sessedat about $44,4o0,0O0. The changes
made are based largely upon the show
ing of gross earnings of the companies.
Those companies which have shown
large increase in earnings have had
their assessments raised, while others,
showing that they have been paying an
undue proportion of taxes to earnings,
have been reduced.

GOOD ADVICE ABOUT SHINGLES

There are tricks in all trades, and here ID
one set forth by carpenter Of over fifty
years experiences:
For roofs in this climate, with its severe
winters, give me a Michigan white cedar
shingles for lasting qualities They should
not average over five inches in width, and
none should be over eight inches WIDE Such
shingle, well nailed, will last for many
years. 1t is an interesting fact that shingles
for roofs will last longest when made from
timber grown in or near the region in which
they are used.
1T has been found that shingles made
from cypress, while lasting for years on
Southern roofs, when used in the Northern
climate, and subjected to the severe win
tiers, disintegrate and prove unsatisfactory.
The red cedar from Oregon, while wide, and
having record on the Pacific coast for long
endurance, when laid on roofs in a cold
climate and subjected to the action of frost
in winter and a hot sun in summer, curl up
and are likewise unsatisfactory
For the climate of the Northwestern
states, no shngle has proved so enduring as
that made from the white or yellow cedar
grown in Michigan or Wisconsin. Chicago

his term of Office he watched the af-
fairs of the state institutions with a
scrutiny that resulted in the most eff
ficient service in these departments. He
was at first chary of accepting Gov.
Shaw's tender, but was urged so warm
ly to do so by his friends that he finally
consented.
Mr.. Cownie, the second republican
member of the board, is farmer who
interests himself in all the affairs of
state. He will fill the siX-year term.

Mr.. M. 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
cinity 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 it's
productive quality, which cannot be sur
passed anywhere. The cattle could not be
in better condition. We saw two-year-old
steers equal to three-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 a 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
at once-that is, as early this fall as we
possibly can. We left Mr.. Redel at Ala
media, and take back his report, and we
will take his family and effects with us when

Dear Friends of Saginaw:
Those desiring to secure good and sure
home will do well 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, straghten
out our affairs and move here at once
