Prince Albert, sask. Aug. II. 1898

Prince Albert, Sask.. Aug. II, 1898.
William McCreary. Esq. immigration
/ Commissioner, Winnipeg, Man:
Sir: We. the undersigned delegates
from Kansas and Nebraska, L. S. A..
/ in reporting the results of our trip to
/ Dauphin, and subsequently, to Regina,
/ Prince Albert and the middle Saskatch-
evan country, beg to say that our tick
cts were limited to p days, and as we
1 had other large regions to visit, we could
only spend a short time in the Dauphin
country. We examined however. the
/ principal cultivated areas in the south
ern part of township %. range l9-the
/ great wheat fields of Wishart Blu
4 chanan, Owen, Smith, Ross, Sinclair, the
4 Whitmores. Drinkwaters. etc, and, sub
1 sequently others TO the north, and never,
1 in our experience, have we seen finer
/ grain. The whole country is watered
( by numerous streams flowing from
/ the slopes Of Riding Mountain, and ex-
l cellent well water is found everywhere,
/ at from Q to IS feet. Extensive for
ests of spruce and tamarack cover the
northern parts of the mountains from
which timber is manufactured in Dau-
phin and elsewhere, and sold at from
$12 thousand at the mills Wild hops
and valid fruits are abundant, and ripen
in the open air. Vegetation through
out is surprisingly luNuriant, and, with
out hesitation, we would rank the whole
region amongst the best grain-growing
areas of the continent. The output of
wheat last year was about rs, 600 bush
els. but this year it is estimated at over
million.
Westward lie the homestead lands
which now. and when fresh surveys are
completed will afford comfortable
| homes TO thousands of diligent fam
lilies. The great Gilbert Plains, also,
we were unable to visit, where grain
growing has been conducted with the
best results for years, and which will
become a vast wheat field as soon as
branch railway reaches there Settle
ment is speeding in all these regions,
reminding us indeed of the early days
in our own States; and, as we have exam
ined, since our visit TO Dauphin, por-
tion of the great country lying south
and east of Prince Albert, we can read
lily imagine the tide of immigration
which will soon flow into the Canadian
West.
