Last Tuesday morning The UNION
received a very entertaining letter
from Shelby D. Reed, written from

under date Of February IA. Shelby
tells bis own story best, SO we pub
lish his letter in full. He says:
editor UNIoN:-Your paper is
welcome visitor in many homes in

refugees from the land Of drouth.
and in several localities in Alberta
q majority of the inhabitants are.
from the Dakotas, and fully three

Native born Canadians are search
ty in many sections.

miles northwest of Lacombe, in
Blindman valley; expect to secure
ten and one half quarter sections,
with all but 100 acres ready for the
pillow. l have been at work on

my timber drawn one mile, as my
horses and outfit are still near the

l expect to dispose Of many horses
to immigrants in the spring, as the
rush of settlers in here is immense.
"You can tell my populist friends
down there that half OF their pro-
posed legislation for existing evils
in the States has been enacted into
actual laws in this country, and the
rest will follow in a much shorter
time than they can be obtained in
South Dakota.
There has been about six inches
of snow at Lacombe so far this win
