ONE VAST WHEAT FIELD.
Prince Albert, sask., Aug. u. ls9s.

Prince Albert, sask., Aug. II, 1893.
william McCreary, ESQ., immigration
Commissioner, Winnipeg, Man.;
Sir: We, the undersigned delegates
from Kansas and Nebraska, U. 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 21 days, and as we
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 25, range 10-the
great wheat fields of Wshart, Blu
chanan, Owen, Smith, Ross, Sinclair, the
Whitmores, Drinkwaters, etc, and, sub
sequently others to the north and never
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-
cellent we'll water Is found everywhere,
at from 0 to 1S 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 wild fruits are abundant, and ripen
in the open air Vegetation through
out is surprisingly luXuriant, 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 $4,000 bush
els, but this year it is estimated at over
a 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 wneh will
! become a vast wheat field as soon ms
branch railway reaches there. Settle
ment is speeding in all these regions,
reminding us indeed of the early days
in our own States; and, aswe have exam
med, since our visit to Dauphin, por-
ton 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.

TO COLLECT FOX SKULLS.
An Attempt to Give Connecticut Of
ncIRls nm Even Chance with
Bounty Hunters.

Two important propositions con-
front the lawmakers. The first Is that
the red fox is overrunning the state
and must be thinned out, ut least, by
means Of bounty offered by the state;
the second is that unless some extreme
precaution is taken the fox bounty
hunters will collect the reward for
their services two or more times.
The fox bounty hunter in this state
is willy fellow, No one knows
that better than the Connecticut
legislator from the rural district. He
is every bit as foxy as the game he
pursues, and bill introduced at this
session by Assemblyman Jewett, OF
Hampton, in reference to fox bounties,
takes cognizance of this fact by maxi
ing new and unusual provision to
protect the state treasury from his
attacks. Many instances of the de-
ception practiced by the bounty hunt
err to make money at the expense OF
the taxpayers are quoted by the adj
vocates of Mr.. Jewett's bill. Hitherto
the offers of bounties have come from
certain towns and have been based upon
the submission of some part of the
foX's body as a proof of death. 1t
Is said that a professional fox hunter
in the center Of the state has been
known to collect a bounty on foX's
ears in one town, on it's nose in an
other, on its forepaws in a third, on
its jaw bone in a fourth and on its
pelt in a fifth--making five bounties
in ALL While this is admittedly an eX-
treme case, instances are on record
where the cropped ears of red dog
have led near-sighted town official to
pay three-dollar fox bounty, and old
fox hunters say it was considered no
trick at all in some of the back coun-
try towns a few years ago to purloin
the same pair of fox's ears from the
board of selectmen and to collect the
bounty on them over and over again.
Mr.. Jewett's bill is calculated to put
stop to these sharp practices, and
if the fox bounty hunter can beat its
provisions, Mr.. Jewett would like to
see him do it. The measure provides
that the state shall pay a bounty of
two dollars for every fox killed. The
huntsman shall submit proofs of the
foX's death as follows: First, he shall
file an affidavit with the town clerk
setting forth the facts in the case,
Then he shall submit for inspection the
pelt of the fox together with the COM
plete skull of the animal. The town
clerk shall keep a skull and return the
pelt with the bounty to the 3pntSman
