THE REPORT OF A MAN OF EXPERIENCE.

water, and abundant hay land, and
the climate Is excellent.
Prince Albert is fourishing 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 a creamery.
Here l stayed for about four months.
working at my trade of bricklaying,
and met with farmers and ranchers
with whom l made 1t my special BUSH
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 may say that
l never saw better crops in all my
travels than saw along the valley to-
wards Stoney Creek and Carrot River.
In the market garden there is grown
currants, both red and black, and as
fine sample of roots and vegetables
as ever went on 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 as good as l
saw anywhere. good pasture and hay
land, and plenty Of water wherever
you go. The country is dotted all
around like islands with timber fit for
fuel and building purpo.as and within
days walk Of numbering woods,
where numbering and tie making Is
carried on in winter. Both large and
small game is plentiful. There are
two good saw mills in this district,
with a good supply of all grades Of
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 reason
able price. Clothing and living are no
higher than find in Michigan. and
Furthermore l wish to say that there is
a great demand for laboring men all
the year round and good wages rang
ing from s1.75 to $500 per day. and
from $500 to $500 per month with
board.
wish to say that am perfectly sat
isfied with the country and intend to
return to Prince Albert early in the
spring 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 will freely
give them my best opinion. am writ
ing this for the benefit of those who
may want to make better home for
themselves and families or friends.
Trusting that this statement may be
useful to you in the publication Of
your next pamphlet and be the means
of guiding at least some of those who
are in search OF home. I remain

We Two.

We two make home of any place we go;
We two find joy in any kind of weather:
Or II the earth is clothed in bloom or
snow,
II summer days invite, or bleak winds
blow,
What matters 1t. If we two are to-
Eether?
We two, we two, we make our world.
our weather.
We two make banquets of the plainest
fare;
In every cup we find the thrill of pleas
ure;
We hide with wreaths the furrowed brow
of care.
And win to smiles the set lips of despair.
For us life always moves with lifting
measure;
We two. we two, we make our Joy, our
pleasure.
We two find youth renewed with every
dawn;
Each day holds something of an I'M
known glory.
We waste no thought on grief or pleas
ure gone;
Tricked out like hope, time leads us on
and on,
And thrums upon his harp new song or
story,
We two, We two, we find the paths of
glory.
We two make heaven here on this little
earth:
We do not need to wait for realms eter-
nal,
We know the use of tears. know sorrows
worth,
And pain for us Is always loves reblrth.
Our paths lead closely by the paths
supernal;
We two. we two. we live in love eternal.

At Medicine Hat, which is located in a

From Regina to Prince Albert, dis
