POTATOES the Finest Ever Saw"
Owing to the great amount OF in
terest that is being taken in Western
Canada, it is well to be informed OF
some of the facts that are bringing
about the great emigration from per
lions of the United States.
The Canadian government has an
thorized agents at different points, and
the facts related in the following may
be corroborated on application. At the
same time they will be able to quote
you rates, and give you certificates en-
titling you to low rates on the diner
ent lines of railway. The following
letter copied from the North Bend
(Neb.) Eagle is an unsolicited testi-
monial, and the experience OF Mrs
Auten is that of hundreds OF other
Americans who have made CANADA
their home during the past seven or
eight yeaTa:
Il presume some may be interested
to know how we have progressed TINS
year in the Canadian Northwest. We
have no complaint to offer. We have
had a good year, crops were good and
we have had delightful season. |

barley made about 80 bushels of good
quality. My crop is fair average OF
the crops in the Edmonton district
"All crops were good here this sea-
con. Potatoes the finest | ever saw,
and all vegetables adapted to the eli
mate. We have had avery fine fall,
but no exception to the rule, as the
fall season is, think, the most pleas
ant of the year. We have had no
snow yet Nov. 81, and have been
blowing and working the land prepar-
ing for an early seeding next spring.
Last night the mercury dropped lower
thaa any previous night this fall, and
this morning there is a crust of frost
on the fields sufficient to prevent field
work. No doubt many would imagine
that Alberta had put on her winter

Register.
When was the writer OF the
above letter Informed that "there
is such a paper pub ished at Hol.
ly?" He intimates that it was on
1y quite recently that he made the
discovery. We are inclined to
believe, however, that he knew it
last summer when he was spend
lug nearly a hundred dollars a
month more than he received on
the Holly News in an attempt to
put the CBIEFrAIN out of business
but was compelled to abandon the
field and moved his outfit to
Lamar.
Az We desire the register Of the
land Office at Lamar to have "of-
fetal" knowledge that there is
newspaper published at Holly.
we are going 10 send one of this
weeks issues to him by registered
mail. Therefore, we will state in
this article for his information
that "the CHEFrA1N has been is
sued regularly. every week since
February 5, 1897 It started out
as n 7.colnmn folio, (the size Of
the Holly News), was enlarged t,

March of this year was made six

home print, while the "legal ?"
Prowers County News has 16 col
umns and contains but 807 square
inches Of home print, a difference
Of 200 square inches in favor of
the CHIEFTAIN, and which, is
much better patronized in every
way than the p. C. H., except by
the register of the Lamar land Of
fee.
The CHIEFTAlN has 400 bonafide
subs .ribers who take the pape,
and pay for it. We have no dead
head list. OF course the "ueeful

but we very much doubt if the

We do not know how Mr.. Li.g. tt
could write all the Holly news
which he has been taking direct
from the CHlEFTAlN if he had not

thnn six months"
He has the audacity to tell the
Commissioned that the p. c. II.
''is the official organ of the
board Of county commissioners of

had no idea his letter would ever
come back to be read by the pee
