THE REPORT OF A MAN OF EXPERIENCE.

water, and abundant hay land, and
the climate is excellent. .
Prince Albert is a f1ourishing little
place, situated on the north Sas-
katchewan river, having a population
of about 1900, with good street and
sidewalks and churches of nearly
every denomination, three school
houses, and another one to be built at
once, also a brewery and q creamery.
Here l stayed for about four months,
working at my trade Of bricklaying,
and met with farmers and ranchers
with whom I made it my special bust
ness to talk in regard to the prospects.
l also visited several farmers for some
distance out in the country while crops
were in full bloom, and l may say that
I never saw better crops in all my
travels than I saw along the valley to-
wards Stoney Creek and Carrot River.
In the market garden there is grown
c%urrants, both red and black, and az
fine a sample of roots and vegetables
as ever went en- a market. The soil in
and around this district cannot be
beaten for anything you may wish to
grow, and besides the season is long,
giving time for everything to mature.
The cattle were looking at good as I
saw anywhere, good pasture and hay
land, and plenty OF water wherever

around like islands with timber fit for

lumber all the year round and also two
good brickyards with an excellent
quality Of brick. There is no scarcity
Of building material and at a reason
able price. Clothing and living are no
higher than l find in Michigan, and
furthermore I wish to say that there is
a great demand for laboring men all
the year round and good wages rang
ing from $1.75 to $500 per day, and
from $500 to $500 per month with
board.
1 wish to say that I am perfectly sat
isfied with the country and l intend to
return to Prince Albert early in the
spri2g of 1900. Any reasonable man
can go there and in from five to ten
years make a good and comfortable
home for himself and family, and If
any person into whose hand this letter
should fall, desires more information,
please write to me and I will freely
give them my best opinion. I am writ
ing this for the benefit of those who
may want to make a better home for
themselves and families or friends.

useful to you in the publication of

In county in southern Illinois and

NAMED a rural section which the peo-
pie In the towns designated as the
Jungle" a term Of contumely handed
down from a period when this portion
OF b county was isolated by impassa-

style Of architecture, which is still
frequently seen, the square log house

through the one small window showed

shotgun and rifle, the horn powder
flask and hunting pouch, and
trophies OF the hunt, while

perience with the outside world than
the weekday walk to the nearest vii

What He Found in Western
Canada to Induce Him
to Settle There.

eault Ste. Marie, Mich, Feb. goth, 1900.
To Whom it May Concern:-Especi-
ally to those who are DESTROYS of OBJ
tanning health and wealth for them
selves and families, l wish to state a
few facts in regard to the Canadian
Northwest, where 1 went, leaving
Sault Ste. Marie on May End, 1899, for
the purpose of seeking a better home
Tor my family in the future. I got a
special rate ticket for Fl. Mcleod, AL
berta. Through Manitoba and part of
Assiniboia the farmers were busy en-
ployed ploughing and seeding: l
found the farmers very kind and
friendly, willing to talk and assist in
giving me the particulars of the coun-
try. At Mcleod I spent a few days
looking w some ranchers' stock,
which I was surprised to see looking
90 we'll; they were in better condition
than any stock I ever saw in Michigan,
even those that had been stabbed, and
most of these had never seen the in
side of a she'd or received any feed from
the hands Of But as I was also
looking for mixed farm land I found
Mcleod no place for me, 1t is only fit
for ranching purposes.
Retracing my way back to Winni-
peg, I stopped of at Lethbridge, where
I found some of the greatest horse
ranches I yer had the pleasure of
looking at. 1t is a fine level country,
and lots Of water and good grazing.
At Medicine Hat, which is located in a
valley, there were lots of sheep, cattle
and horses in the surrounding country
and all looking we'll.
On July 14th l went to Regina, there
I began to see mixed farming lands in
abundance, and the crops looking re-
markedly. we'll, and as long as daylight
lasted I saw the same all along the
line and on the 18th day of July J ar
rived in Winnipeg, just in time for
the exhibition. There I met with one
Of the most beautiful pictures of the
worlds records, for as soon as I en-
tered the grounds my eyes met with
all kinds of machinery, all in motion,
and the cattle, grain and produce of
the country was far beyond my expec-
tation, in fact it was beyond any in
dustrial exhibition or agricultural fair
I ever visited and I have seen a good
many.
: From Regina to Prince Albert, a dis
lance of $50 miles, it is all good for
mixed farming, and well settled, with
some thriving little towns. In some
places the grain, just coming into
head, would take a nan to the waist,
and the wild fruit aiong the line was
good, rich and in great quantities,
from Saskatoon on the south branch of,
the Saskatchewan river, to PRINCE, AL
bert on the north branch of the same
river, is oneFof the best farming dis
