Shutting Down on Liquor.

~ M cara
Important orders were issued to the
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES agents through.
out the state. They were all instruct
ed to disregard all previous orders and
In h future refuse to accept all G. o.
D. shipments of liquor. The practice
heretofore in use resulted in making
most of the express offices and depots
throughout the state saloons t o a
greater or less extent. The circular
issued instructed agents to dispose OF
the stock in hand before the 25th or
ship the consignments back to the
senders. Not only will the c. O. D.
business be stopped (as regards intoxi.
cants) but shipments of liquor by
freight, where bills of lading were is
sued against the party desiring the
goods, will be rejected blythe express
companies.
The action taken by the express com.
panies is significant and means that
another method of evading the prohi-
bition law has been abandoned by the
liquor dealers.

. MINNESOTA FARMER DOES
WELL IN CANADA.

Virden, Manitoba, 18th Nov, 1885.
Hon. Clifford Sifton, Minister Of the In
terror, Ottawa, Canada.
sir-Thinking that my experience
In Manitoba might be both useful and
interesting to my fellow-countrymen
in the United States who may be look
ing to Manitoba and the Northwest
with the intention of settling there,
I have much pleasure in stating that
through information received. from
Mr.. w. F. McCreary, Immigration
Commissioner at Winnipeg, I was in
duced to visit Manitoba in February,
1898. WhenI called upon MI. McCreary
he spared no pains to give me all
the information, &C., in his possession,
the result of which was that I came
here with a letter of introduction from
him to the Secretary of the Virden
Board of Trade. That gentleman pro-
vided me with a competent land guide
and altho' there was considerable
snow on the ground, I had no diff
Guilty in selecting three homesteads
for myself and ons Having made the
necessary homestead entries at the
Land Office in Brandon, I returned to
my home in Lyon County, Minnesota,
and came back here in May following
accompanied by of my boys, bring
ing with us two teams of horses, i'm
PIGMENTS, &c. Our first work was to
erect a temporary shanty and stable,
after which we broke and levelled rs
acres and put up 80 tons of hay. I
went back to Minnesota about 2Oth
July, leaving my son here. I returned
in October bringing my family with
me. I found that the land we had
acquired was of good quality being
a strong clay loan with clay subsoil.
Last Spring I sowed 100 acres in
wheat, so acres in oats & barley (75
acres of this grain was sowed on
"goback" plowed last Spring.) My
crop was threshed in October, the re.
suit being over 27OO bu. of grain in
all. Wheat averaged 10 blu. p. &C. and
graded No. / hard but that which was
sown on land other than sod ego
back") went 24h blu. p. &C
To say that I am well pleased with
AS ASSoAo VI Aty AISG year ldT1uluR
operations in Manitoba does not ade-
quately express my feelings, and I
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. I am 10 miles from Virden,
which is a good market town, and 9
miles from Hargrave where there are
two elevators. This summer I erected
a dwelling house of native stone and
bought a half-section of land adioin-
ing our homesteads for which I paid
a very moderate price. There are still
some homesteads in this district, and
land of fine quality can be purchased
from the Canadian Pacific Ry. Co. at
$3.50 p. &C. on liberal terms. Good
water is generally found at a depth of
from IS to 20 #. I have ITS &C. ready
for crop next year.
The cost of living here is about the
same as in Southern Minnesota. Some
commodities are higher and others
lower in price, but the average is
about the same.
