CATER 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 were 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 will produce such prairie grass

er opportunity at the present time
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 so bushels of oats. Counting wheat
at Soc net and oats at 25c, the land will
pay for itself the first season of cuff
walton.

that the two members for the House were

duced.

THE PEOPLE MAKE A GLORIOUS .sTOP."


The rapidity, the exactness, and the CON
#,1eteness with which the boom of l.. c. Spoone
for the House of Representatives has subside
and practically died out shows that it took it
start not from the people but from few polit
clans who sought to control Stevens count
a,olitics. AT time Mr.. Spooner's friend
were claiming for him the support of ever
newspaper in the district, of all the prominen
politicians of Grant and Traverse counties ane
"a fair share of Stevens tho Stevens has beer
conceded to Bicknell from the start, and woule
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. Techni
,cally Mr. Bicknell was in the field first, his
announcement was made first, but practically
Mr. Spooner has been candidate for months.
After Mr.. Spooner was backed off the boards by
Fir. Canestorp in the race for senator, and the
house candidacy was decided upon, he appears
TO have made an attempt to rush Mr.. Bickneli
off his feet. Grant county stormed with
dhe silly asseration that Mr.. Spooner had mag
unanimously laid down in the interest of Mr..
Canestorp, and "Canestorp and Spooner" was
evolved as a war-cry; in Traverse county, 1t was
~sHellekson and Spooner', in spite of the fact
that Mr.. Hellekson any other of good
sense would not think for minute Of mixing
anto contest which did not him; in
Stevens county they tried to discourage Mr..
Bicknell's friends with the statement that
Grant and Traverse counties would elect Mr.
Spooner whether Stevens wanted him or 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.. Bckne1 They
began to flock to the Bicknell banner The
shrewder supporters of Mr.. Spooner became
quiescent, 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
a few interviews, and subsidized III some
portions of Traverse county, the Spooner boom
never did get start, and all that is left in
the whole district is few Pickering 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
ment i'll the contest between Mr.. Bicknen and
Mr.. Spooner for the House, with Mr.. Bcknells
forces holding all the points of vantage, and
ready to renew the conflict.
