reports from most of his agents in the
United States and estimates that near

have become residents of Canada dur
ing the past year. An estimate places
the wealth of these persons at 50, ,OOO,-

number of settlers from the United

concerns hereafter, it is likely. will not
be permitted to operate under the
sanction of the Kansas laws. Within
the past few weeks a half dozen of
these enterprises have made application
for charters. They have all been held
up. The board is investigating their
operations. Up to date nothing has
been found in their plan of work that
entities them to a charter under the
new law. Unless discovery is made
that requires the board to issue them
charters which is unlikely, their appli-
cations will be denied. Some time ago
the board issued charters to two con-
Germs of this kind. At that time it was
IN doubt but thought no damage could
be done by doing SO. Later it conclu-
ded that possibly no good could be ac.
complished and held up other applica-
tions OF that sort. In case it is finally
determined tnat such concerns have no
legal right to have a charter the two
charters already issued will be called
in.

A MINNESOTA FARMER
Does Well In western Canada.

Virden, Man., Nov. IS, 1899.
hon. Clifford Sifton, Minister Of the
interior, Ottawa, Canada-Sir: Think
Ing that my experience in Manitoba
might be both useful and interesting
to my tellow-countrymen in the United
states who may be looking to Mani
tooa and the northwest with the in
tention of settling there, l have much
pleasure in stating that through in
formation received from Mr.. w. F.
McCreary, immigration commissioner
at Winnipeg, l was induced to visit
Manitoba in February, 1898. When l
called upon Mr.. McCreary he spared no
pains to give me all the information,
etc, in his possession, the result of
which was that l came here with
letter of introduction from him to the
secretary of the Virden Board of
Trade, That gentleman provided me
with a competent land guide, and,
although there was considerable SAow
On the ground, had no difficulty in
selecting three homesteads for myself
and sons. Having made the necessary
homestead entries at the land Office in
Brandon, l returned to my home in
Lyon county, Minnesota, and came back
here in May following, accompanied
by one Of my boys, bringing with US
two teams of horses, implements, etc.
Our first work was to erect a tempo
rary shanty and stable, after which
we broke and leveled seventy-f1ve
acres and put up thirty tons of hay.
l went back to Minnesota about July
20, leaving my son here. l returned
In October, bringing my family with
me. 1 found that the land we had
acquired was of good quality, being
a strong clay loan with clay subsoil.
Last spring l sowed 100 acres in wheat
and fifty acres in oats and barley.
(Seventy-five acres of this grain was
sowed on "go-back" plowed last
spring) My crop was thrashed in
October, the result being over 2,700
bushels of grain in all. Wheat aver
aged fifteen bushels per acre and
graded No l hard, but that which was
sown on land other than sod ego
back") went twenty four and one-half
bushels per acre.
To say that l am we'll pleased with
the result of my first years farming
operations in Manitoba does not ade-
quately express my feelings, and l
have no hesitation in advising those
who are living in districts where land
is high in price to come out here, if
they are willing to do a fair amount
Of work. l am ten miles from Virden,
which is a good market town, and nine
miles from Hargrave, where there are
two elevators. This summer l erected
a dwelling house of native stone and
bought a half-section of land adjoin-
ing our homesteads, for which l paid
a very moderate price. There are still
