WESTERN CANADA'S deem
Der WEATHER EQUAL TO
THAT OF MAY IN MIN
NESOTA.
To the Editor:

TO the Editors:
Thomas Regain and c. Collins, of
Eden Valley, Minnesota, went out to
Western Canada last December as dele
gates, to look over the grazing and
grain lands that are being offered at
such low prices and reasonable terms
This is what they say:
1--WE arrived in Calgary about the Goth
December and although we had left
winter in Minnesota and Manitoba,
we were surprised to find beautiful
warm weather at this point, quite equal
to what we have in May in Minnesota.
There was no snow nor trace of winter
to be seen, and the climate was really
splendid. Horses, cattle and sheep
were running out, in prime condition,
with plenty of feed on the prairie, and
really better than that of ours stabbed
in the south. We are impressed with
this country as one of the finest mixed.
farming countries we have ever seen.
The immense tracts of fertile lands,
well sheltered and abundantly wa
tered, leave nothing to be desired.
Leaving Alberta we returned east
and visited the Yorkton district in
Assiniboia. We drove out about ten
miles at this point and were highly
pleased with the splendid samples of
grain we were able to see, wheat yield
ing 25 bushels, oats go bushels. Roots
were also good specimens. From what
we have seen, we have decided to
throw in our lot with the Yorktoners
satisfied that this part of the coun-
try will furnish good opportunities
for anyone anxious to make the best
of really good country. Any agent
of the Canadian Government, whose
advertisement appears elsewhere in
the columns of your paper will give
you full particulars of the new dis
tricts being opened out this year in
Assiniboia and Saskatchewan.
Yours truly,
OLD READER,

every prescription suggested in our

and knew it.
"As a last resort, and with scarcely
any faith whatever, commenced TAX

II am making this statement as a

larged the temple which had existed
prior TO his time.
The next great builder, going back
ward in the order Of time, was Kad-
ashman-Turgu $3.50 b. c.. The work
of Kurigalzu, Bur-Sin H., Ishme-Da-
gan, Bur-Sn l., Ur-Ninib and Dungi,
of the third pre- Christian millennium,
was also cleared away after being ex-
amned in all details, when the zig
gurrat as it was seen in the time Of
Ur-Gur $500 +. c. was laid bare.
On the ruins of what preceded him
Ur-Gur built large pavement or
platform, on which he built his tenn
pie and ziggurrat. The base of the
latter formed right angled parallelo-
gram 200 feet long by 130 feet wide.
II was built with three stages or
stories, the lowest being twenty-One
feet, the second thirteen feet high,
while the third was so much ruined
that it was impossible TO secure its
original dimensions.
About eight feet below the level of
Ur-Gur's pavement was found anoth-
er consisting of two layers of burned
bricks. 1hey were twenty inches
square by four inches thick, most of
which were stamped with the legend
"Naram-Sin, builder of the temple of
Bel" while few were stamped with
his fathers name "Sharganishar-ali
(Sargon) King of Accad, builder of
the temple of BEL
Until recently these rulers, who lived
about $500 j. c., were regarded as
legendary characters, largely on ac-
count of their great antiquity, hut the
excavations revealed the fact that the
founding of the temple was several
thousand years prior to their time.
