A MINNESOTA FARMER
WRITES OF WESTERN CANADA.

IL Now Located There, Farms in His
NeiEhborhood Being Taken by
Former U. S. Residents.
The following extracts from letter
written to Mr.. Benz. Davis, Canadian
Government Agent at St. Paul, Mimi,
give an excellent idea of what is said
of Western Canada by those who have
gone there during the past two or three
years.
when we first arrived here and took
up our homes on the prairie near Dales-
boro, Assa., for short time we had
fit of the blues but now all hands
are settled to business, hale, hearty
and contented, enjoying the finest win
ter we have ever seen. We have got
very comfortably situated, with con-
siderable preparation for a crop, and
all hopeful. I think this is very fine
country, and if the past seasons crop
is not an exception, which they claim
not, I believe this is going to be the
Wheat Field of the West. It is fill
ing up fast. In this township last
spring there were rs manifestations of
land vacant and to-day there is not one;
can stand at my house and count 10
houses where there was not one last
spring, with six more to go up this
spring. This is only sample of what
is going on all round. We intend to
build church next summer, right
close to my place, so we will be strict
~ in line. It would have amused you
to have been here last spring. There
were crowds of land-seekers, and some
times in the spring the prairie is not
very inviting, and of course lots were
disconnected. There was one in the
crowd who jumped on me for putting
a letter in the paper, only for which he
never would have come here, and he
was very hostile, but eventually he got
a place, and to-day claims he would not
take Thousand Dollars and move out,
so I am glad he is satisfied.
SWELL, my dear Sir, as Arthur Finney
is about to move out in March, with
his family, and also one of my sons, any
thing you can do for them to assist them
along and to make things smooth as
possible, will be greatly appreciated by
me. I will close for this time, and will
write from time to time to let you know
we are living. Drop US a few lines to
let us know how things are moving in
St. Paul. Yours Respectfully,
"ALEX CAMERON"
