"After having made three different
trips to the city of Calgary, and driven
oyer considerable portion of the Cal
gary district, I am frank to say Al
berta is the very best of the Canadian
Northwest, and sunny Alberta is the
name it justly deserves because of the
fact that there are very few days when
the sun does not shine. Central Al
berta is the famous winter wheat belt
and the Calgary district is the very
cream of the whole province. For half
century it was known as the ranch
mans PARADISE because of the mild
winters and the abundance of prairie
grass and delicious water that made it
possible for stock to care for itself,
with no feed, no shelter, no care ex-
cept to rounn up and brand, and yet
the cattle that came from this territory
were the fattest of all and the best on
the market. But when the farmer
asked if these lands we're not adapted
for farming as well as grazing, the
rancher lied to him aud said: This is
no country for the plow.' But the
Yankee used his brain and said: land

that the two members for the House We're

and Spooner, it is entirely possibly for Mr..
Bicknell ane Mr.. Spooner to be elected, leaving
Traverse county with no representation. at all
as the voters will be instructed to Vote for
Two" of these three candidates. However, we
take this occasion to urge the voters of this
county not to vote for the two Stevens county
candidates, but to vote for Mr.. Bicknell and Mr.

and fatten such stock is worth tickling
with the plow,' and when the soil had
been tickled with the. plow it laughted
forty bushels of golden wheat to the
acre-sixty bushels have been pro-
duced.
"The very best lands are located
along the line of the @. P. r. east of
Calgary, and the @, and E. line north
and south of Calgary. This is a fine
city of $4,000 in half dozen years.
Very gently rolling praire, entirely
free from brush and stone; exceeding
ly rich vegetable mould with clay SUBJ
soil; lnzuriant growth of prairie grass,
finest in the world for grazing; water
in small potholes or ponds generally
sufficient for stock, or obtained at a
depth of few feet, or artesian flow
at 12O feet.
ssThe climate is almost ideal. Alti-
tude is $4,000 feet at Calgary, within
sight of the snow capped Rockies;

than Alberta. Timber lands come to
the last log and gold mines to the last
nugget, but the soil of these Alberta
lands is good. for half century of
splendid crops. The last the cheap,
good lands have been taken. There
is no new West to be discovered. The
trend of the day is and must be back
to the land.' Ownership of land is get
ting back to the enduring foundations
of things. Land cannot be destroyed
by fire, nor panic; neihter can it take
wings and fly away, nor be stolen by
some bank absconded. The farming
industry is permanent and it promising
larger returns in the future than in the
past.
"But for farming purposes these
lands are better investment than any
thing else. In the Calgary district one
may reasonably count on an average
of 80 bushels of winter wheat per acre,
and 60 bushels of oats. Counting wheat
at 60c net and oats at 25c, the land will
pay for itself the first season of Gulf
vation.

Morris tribune., 1906-03-10

At the suggestion Of several voters, we give
the following information regarding the cleo
ton of the members of the Legislature from this
county.
Stevens, Grant and Traverse counties COM
prise one legislative district, the 57th. The
whole district is entitled to senator and two
members of the House of Representatives.
There is no difference in the salary of a senator
and representative, each receiving So per day
for the time the Legislature is IN session. The
senator however is elected for four years and
the representative for two years. These men,
bers of thelegislature could all he chosen from
any place in the district and could all be chosen
from one place. They could all three come
from Grant county, or all from Traverse or all
from Stevens AS a matter of courtesy, how
ever the three counties have divided the three
Legislative positions SO that each county had
one. Eight years ago, Senator Jones was elect
ed from this county, and Grant and Traverse
each had representative, Four years ago
Senator Schain was elected from Traverse
county, and Messrs Larson and Stone from
Grant and Stevens respectively. This year
Senator Canestorp will be elected from Grant
county, and Mr.. Hellekson from Traverse
county and Mr. Bicknell from this county foi
the House.
This courteous arrangement between the
people of the various counties may be ano

Morris tribune., 1906-03-10
THE PEOPLE MAKE GLORIOUS "srop."

The rapidity, the exactness and the com
aDleteness with which the boom of L. G. SpooneI
for the House of Representatives has subsided
and practically died out shows that it took its
start not from the people but from few politi
clans who sought to control Stevens county
g,olitics. AT time, Mr.. Spooner's friends
were claiming for him the support of every
newspaper in the district, of all the prominent
politicians of Grant and Traverse counties and
a fair share of Stevens (tho Stevens has been
conceded to Bcknel from the start, and would
have been good fighting ground for Senator
Canestorp had Mr.Spooner continued in the race
for the upper house.) The coterie of politicians
who planned the Spooner boom started the
work in all parts OF the district, and Browns
Valley, Wheaton, Elbow Lake aud Herman
were all the scenes of their activity. Iechni-
cally Mr.. Bicknel was in the field first, as his
announcement was made first, but practically
Mr.. Speoner has been candidate for months.
After Mr. Spooner was backed off the boards by
Mr. Canestorp in the race for senator, and the
house candidacy was decided upon, he appears
to have made an attempt to rush Mr.. Bicknell
off his feet. Grant county was stormed with
dhe silly asseration that Mr.. Spooner had mag
unanimously laid down in the interest OF Mr..
Canestorp and "Canestorp and Spooner' was
< yolved as war-cry; in Traverse county, was
5'Helekson and Spooner", in spite of the fact
that Mr. Helekson or any other of good
sense would not think for minute Of mixing
AUTO contest which did not concern him; in
Stevens county they tried to discourage Mr..
BickneIrs friends with the statement that
Grant and Traverse counties would elect Mr..
Spooner whether Stevens wanted him not.
But abont this time, the people of Stevens
candidacy was announced and the people
began to understand that fight was on be-
tween Mr. Spooner and Mr.. Bicknell. They
began to flock to the Bicknell banner. The
shrewder supporters of Mr.. Spooner became
quescent, and gradually began lining up with
the people. Herman and that portion of Grant
county heard how the people of Stevens felt,
and were glad. The Spooner forces in other
portions of Grant county heard, wavered let
our a few interviews, and subsidized III some
portions of Traverse county, the Spooner boom
never did get start, and now all that is left in
the whole district is few f1ickerng flames at
Browns Valley, that will soon die out if the
good sense and courtesy of Editor Gordon of the
Browns Valley Tribune is allowed to assert it
self
Thus passes into history the first engage
4nent in the contest between Mr.. Bicknell and
Mr. Spooner for the House, with Mr.. Bicknelrs
forces holding all the points of vantage, and
ready to renew the conflict
