ALL CROPS GOOD IN WESTERN

POTATOES the Finest 1 Ever Saw.

Potatoes the Finest Ever Saw"
Owing TO the great amount of intar.
est that is being taken in Western
Canada 1t is well to be informed Of
some of the facts that are bringing
about the great emigration from nor,
tons Of the United States.
The Canadian government have an.
thorized agents at different points. and
the facts related in the following NAV
be corroborated on application. At the
same time they will be able to ouo+a
you rates and give you certificates on
fitting you to low rates on the differ.
ent lines of railway. The following
letter, copied from the North Pond
(Neb) Eagle, is an unsolicited testin,o-
NAL, and the experience of Mr.. Austen
is that of hundreds of other Americans
who have made Canada their home.
during the past seven or eight veors
i presume some may be interested
TO know how we have progressed this
year in the Canadian Northwest We
nave no complaint to offer. We hava
had good year; crops were good and
we have had a delightful season
threshed from my place $3.50 bushels
of grain. My oats made SIS bushels
per acre and weighed 42l5 pounds per
bushel. My wheat made 3D. bushels
per acre and is No. quality. NV bar
ley made about 30 bushels of good
quality. My crop is fair average Of
the crops in the Edmonton district.
All crops were good here this sea-
son. Potatoes the finest l ever saw
and all vegetables adapted to the eli
mate. We have had a very 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. %, and have been blowing
and working the land preparing for an
early seeding next spring. Last night
the mercury dropped lower than any
previous night this fall, and this morn
ing there is a crust of frost on the
fields sufficient to prevent field work.
No doubt many would imagine that AL
berta had put on her winter overcoat
before this, and that the people were
wrapped in furs, but it is only a dues-
ton of time when this country will not
be looked upon as an iceberg, but
country fit for the best OF mankind to
live in.
We are now assured Of transcontl-
mental railway, which is to be built to
the Pacific during the next five years.
The Canadian Northern Road is graded
to within seventy-five miles of Edmon-
ton. 1t comes from Winnipeg, and
will reach us next summer, so with
one railroad already at hand, the Sec
ond to reach us in less than a year,
and the third to penetrate our city
and open up this country to the west
across the Rockies to the coast within
I've years, we surely have reason to
believe that the country is progress
