Canadian Lands.

A party of Devils Lake gentle
men returned Wednesday from a
trip to Assiniboia, Canada, where
they went to purchase considerable
land, widely advertised by the
Canadian Pacific railroad for sale
at from $3.50 to S6per acre. They
stopped at North Portal, where 81.
G. Prairie represents the railroad
and has charge of the sale of the
roads lands. The Devils Lakers
were not long in selecting a town.
ship containing fifteen sections of
railroad lands marked on the map
at 81 an acre, and were prepared
to close the deal at once. A wire
to the main Office in Winnipeg
concerning the deal brought a re-
ply that the company's lands in
that territory had that day been
advanced to SIS an acre and that
the purchasers must comply with
the company's land rules which
are similar to the homestead laws
Of the United States. They re-
quire that a portion of. each quar-
ter section be broken the first year
and other improvements made.
About all the good land is taken
within twenty miles-o on each side
of the railroad from North Portal
to Moses Jaw, a distance of 200
miles. Freight rates are very
high, and the wheat farmer last
year could not dispose of enough
of his product on the Canadian
side to pay his threshing bills.
The facilities for handling the
grain are not sufficient, and the
wheat grower is compelled to haul
his crop across the line to the
American elevators, paying the
twenty cents per bushel duty
on it in order to raise
a little ready cash. The soil
is a shallow loan mixed with sand,
and will not endure for grain grow
ing a very long period. There will
undoubtedly be a large immigra-
ton into that country from the
east this summer, but when the
immigrant discovers he cannot
get lands for the price advertised
he will come back and settle in
North Dakota. Mr.. Prairie is g
pleasant gentleman who did every
thing in his power to aid the
Devils Lakers, and it is no fault
of his that they are not now the
owners of a township Of Canadian
land. The Canadian Pacific rail
road company is a very unsatis-
factory concern to do business
with, and Americans should keep
away from it.

will not this year, as in former
years, advertise attractions which
never materialize. The stereo-

that Mr.. So-and-so cannot be with
us this season." is played out.
Among the attractions already
advertised are Madison G. Peters,
of New York, and W. j. Bryan, of
Nebraska. When the roll is called
will they be there?

That's the condition of many sufferers
from catarrh, especially in the morning.
Great difficulty is experienced in clear

No wonder catarrh causes headache,
impairs the taste, smell and hearing,
pollutes the breath, deranges the stom-

To cure catarrh, treatment must be

II was afflicted with catarrh. I took
medicines OF different kinds, giving each
a fair trial; but gradually grew worse until

ton during the 40s.
Ii is interesting 20 note the changes
which have taken place since that early
day Mr. Thee. Bering caught possums
where the Cotton Exchange now stands.
and was once lost for hours out about the
present location OF the Central shops.
Where the handsome Rice hotel now stands
was an open prairie. The site Of the
Grand Central depot was a vegetable gar
den. Wolves and other Wild animals were
plentiful along the bayou and some exciting
chases were enjoyed by the early residents.
The old court house on the site OF the
prcsent building was q tWo-story log house
