CANADA A COMING COUNTRY
That is What Prof Brimhall Thinks AZ
ter Visiting the Utah Colonies.

DR.. c. II. Brimhall Of the Brigham
Young academy arrived in the city this
morning on his way home from Canada.
The doctor left here on the 10th Of
July with his wife and Mrs. Lafayette
Holbrook and daughter Clara. He says
Canada Is a coming country for the
American, and that the Utah people
there are located IN the best agricu-
tural and stock raising belts OF thi
Whole region. The people piow the sod
the first year and the soil yields from
10 10 40 bushels to the acre. This, says
the doctor, Is a conservative estimate.
The second year the farmers SOW right
on the stubble, raising from 20 to 30
bushels. That is getting two crops from
one blowing. Land there is plentiful for
homestead entry or purchase from COM
panies. The town Of Raymond, says
the doctor Is destined TO be the Win
nepeg of the west. 1t was laid off on
the prairie two years ago by Apostle
John w, Taylor and Jesse Knight, and
now has a population Of nearly 1000. II
has a large, fine hotel. number Of
prosperous business houses, among
which is the bank OF Montreal. The
sugar factory. which is being erected
by the Knight Sugar company Is con-
tracted to be ready 10 start operations
by the LIST of September Vast fields OF
beets are maturing nicely without irri-
cation, and the company is irrigating
some as an experiment Thus far this
season there has been no real need Of
irrigation. The stock on the ranges.

exceedingly fat, and the health of the
people is remarkably good The cont
munities are made up chiefly Of young
people, that Is young married men who
are Just starting out In life.
The harvesting up there Is already
begun and In some Instances, the plant.

perior 10 any other buildings in the

by local tax. A number OF young people

years. prepared 10 teach anywhere.
The doctor says he was very greatly
