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

To the Editor:
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:
Wearrived 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,
we'll sheltered and abundantly wa
tered leave nothing to be desired.
Leaving Alberta we returned east
and visited the Yorl1ton district in
Assiuiboia. 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 60 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 a 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.
