that board Of trade out there gave
HIM that little pamphlet, why
Sheridan" /" they did a splendid Turn,
bat that only gives him a text. We
don't know how long be can talk,
but he interested Us something less
than half q day and would have
stayed longer but he was in a hurry
to see some other people. From
the representation Of Mr. Wolfe
that Is an excellent country to settle
IN. The government IS putting IN
one Of its largest forts right near
Sheridan and is building one Of its
largest reservoirs near there for pur-
poses Of irrigation which viii make
that one of the most productive
countries in the world. The pota-

eabbages are the rule; oats from 50
to 100 bushels to the acre, and
wheat from 80 to 50 per acre and
