r. E. Workman,
Dear Sir:-There are about twelve
heads Of families in this community,
all from the United States, from diff
tsrsnt parts, lured here by the litera-
ture Of Canadian land and immigra-
bion agents. Several have lost from
$1,000 to 5000 in the past two
years. Crops have been bad, weather
horrible. I myself came in this
spring with several others from
Illinois and l will be exceedingly we'll
satisfied to get out this winter with
$500 loss. I put in 160 acres of oats; 60
have been hailed out already. Hail
and snow have fallen every month
this summer. l wish to 60 to Wash:
ington to locate. own land here
&c. P. r. and might get rates over
the G. P. R. to some point on the
Great Northern and could see the
country.
How about the Big Bend country?
Could man get work there and
what place would be best to 60 to?
The reason I ask there are two men
here who have lost all their crops for
two years, nearly all the cattle and all
the horses they own. They want to
get back where they can get work for
a time to send for their families up
here. am doing all can to get
them all to 60 to the Indian Reserva-
zion fOkanogan County, and think
they will 20 there with me il I 60.
mean what say and speak for
about twelve to fifteen families who
want to leave this desolate hole, fit
for half breeds and Indians. Several
people left here last week in wagons
for Washington, who came here,
bought land and have gone off and
left it. Cattle dying from blackleg,
horses from swamp fever and crops
hailed out and showed under dis
gusts even even the most courageous
Please give me rates and tell me best
route to take. If I can come from
Edmonton to Shelby Junction, Mont,
make connection with G. N. r. and
60 on to Washington or can 60 to
Calgary from there to Midway, B. G..
via Arrow Lakes, B. c, thence to
Cclville or Cnesaw, thence to the Big
Bend Country.
Give me all the information pos
sible On Co!ville Indian Reservation,
where labor 10 most easily obtained in
Washington, ETC., so I can tell the
rest Of these suckers, like myself, who
have been foolish enough to believe
Canadian Immigration agents.
Trusting to receive a favorable re-
ply, beg to remain,

Of the city council, giving due notice

not be dried successfully, at least at
present. Some persons think you can
dry them as you do prunes or other fruit
or shrimp. The oyster is mostly juice.
There is nothing in the composition Of
the oyster that will hold the juice under
ordinary drying processes. The result
is that the dried oyster is flavorless.
AS a matter of fact there is nothing left
but the eye of the oyster, and the dis
tinctly oyster flavor is not in the eye.

Bacteria in Ice.

Prof. Bujwid found q, 900 dis
ease-producing germs in a melted
hailstone. Prof. Prudden, of New
York, has shown that the natural
ice supplied in most cities con-
tains multitudes of disease-producing
microbes, including typhoid fever
bacteria and other equally deadly
germs. Thousands of persons are
made sick by the use of ice water, not
only because of the germs which the
ice contains, but because of the gastric
debility induced by the large quanti-
ties of cold water. The gastric Juice
destroys germs; but when the stom-
ach is deluged with ice water, the
gastric glands cease to secrete hydro
chloric acid, to the presence of which
the gastric juice owes it's germicidal
properties.-Good Health.
