SASKATCHEWAN, WESTERN
CANADA, IS CALLED THE
"GARDEN OF EDEN,"
~ n Former Resident of Reed City,
Michigan.

In letter to the Reed City, Mich
igan, Clarion, Mr.. James C. Arm
strong, of Meltford, Saskatchewan,
says, writing on 27th May, 1901:
"This is fine country for n poor
man, as he can go out on the hay
slews and cut all the hay he needs.
He turns his cattle out on the prai-
rie, and when he is not using his
horses, he turns them out also. There
is such an abundance of food, they
never wander away.
"a lady, who has lived here eight
years, told me that this was the

huckleberries, red and black cur
rants, dewberries, plums, red and
black cherries, and red raspberries.
All of these fruits grow wild. Then

making them look like real garden.
We have eaten of the wild red cur
rants, and they are equal IL not su-
perior to those grown in Michigan.
We have sweet corn 7H inches high.

called the Garden of the West
With fruits and flowers, lakes and
streams, fish and fowl, beautiful riv-
ers, tracts of timber and mountains,
what more does a man want?"

SALvADoh'S PROSPERITY.
The Country IL Enjoying n Period OF
UnexampIed Peace and Plenty.


UneIampIed Peace and Plenty.
The little republic of Salvador is
the smallest country in America and
one of the most densely peopled
parts of it. If our country had as
many inhabitants to the square mile
as are living in Salvador we would
have population of about 35O,O0O,-
600. Perhaps that day is coming,
but not yet awhile, says the New
York Sun.
Our latest consular reports from
Salvador says that the country is en-
joying a period of profound peace.
This is good news, for Salvador has
had its share of revolutions, to say
nothing of quarrels with its neigh
bors that at times have seriously in
terfered with its prosperity. The
government is supposed TO be based
upon the consent of the governed,
but sometimes it is merely a military
regime with little diversion in the
form of instructions.
The reports say that the coffee
crop will be unusually large this
year. This, of course, means pros
perity, because coffee forms three
fifths of the exports, little Salvador
selling more coffee than any other
state excepting Guatemala. The crop
will be gathered next month.
The crop of indigo is also unusu-
ally large. indigo is one of the two
products that distinguish Salvador
from the other countries of Central
America, for practically all the crop
is gathered in that republic. The
other commodity which Salvador mo-
nopolizes is balsam of Peru. so called
because the Spaniards used to carry
st. to Callao, Peru, for shipment to
Spain. 1t grows on the coastal plain
of Salvador and is valued in medicine.
Salvador has no foreign debt and
its financial condition is very satis-
factory. Like our own country Sal
vador exports great deal more than
1t imports. Its prosperity is of par
ticular interest to us because the re-
public has larger trade relations with
this country than any other nation
except England.
The reason why Salvador is so
densely populated is that it fronts
wholly or the Pacific ocean and prac-
tically all of it is adapted for settle
ment. 1t is one of the peculiarities
of the Central American republics
that nearly all of their population is
gathered on the Pacific slope. The
northwest trade winGs bring a tre-
mendous rainfall to the Atlantic
slope covering most of it with dense
tropical forests which are not fitting
homes for white men because they
are so unhealthful. Civilization,
therefore, has centered on the Pa
cifc slope for the most part, the rain
fall there being moderate and the eli
mate and soil adapted to the raising
of stock and the cultivation of many
crops; thus nearly all of Salvador is
adapted for development.
