T ACHINE, Canada. June 12.-Stalking
trout with horses as blinds. as the
plains hunters of the West stalk
antelope, sounds peculiar at first. But
1t Is trick which an afternoons ex-
perience taught an old angler to his
profit.
Where he lives the streams are too deep
to wade and run through an open coun-
try. The fish have been taught by many
years experience to be exceedingly eau
tious. The only way to get them is by
fishing from the bank facing the sun,
and then with long line and rod, cast

A second fish made one long dash down

During the last two years this COM

During the last few years there has
been marked immigration of Amert-
can farmers to that fertile section Of
the Red river valley lying in Manitoba,
farmers from the older sections Of the
United States having found, after in
vestigation, that there were greater
opportunities offered there than else
where for like money.
Certain it is that in certain sections
of Manitoba there are lands to be had
at astonishingly low figures, which, in
point of production, climate, nearness
to profitable markets and ease of ac-
cess, rival lands to be had in the high
est priced sections of the United States
at figures eight and ten times as great
as those asked for the Canadian lands.
One of the very first American COM
panies to take up in a large way the
handling of Canadian lands was the

main office it located at AS Main street,
