the yield was reported, and the
land we bought was nearly the
east end of the district, being only
about 10 miles from the extreme
easterly end.

quainted with the country in gene

lieve we got in the very choicest
locality in Alberta. 1t may seem
queer that this kind of land should
have lain vacant until this late
date, but that is accounted for by
the fact that it has been held until
the last three years under lease
by a large cattle company whose
last lease run for a period of 20
years, and the last three years
have been consumed in building a
system of canals and laterals to
water the lands, and the first tract
was just thrown open to settle
ment about three months ago, and
the Colonization company opened
the choicest lot of lands first in
order to get migration started
their way.
Most of the people who had
been there before us were people
from Eastern States and from
Washington and Oregon who we're
not familiar with irrigation and
had taken principally the lands
lying above the canal lines be-
cause they could be bought for
$1,000 per acre less than those
under the canal, so that our party
practically got their choice of the
irrigated lands. | learned that
all the expensive articles which a
farmer must have to improve and
operate a farm are little cheaper
than here, and especially lumber,
while grain. cattle and horses are
all higher. This-is accounted for
by the fact that they have better
railroad facilities than we have,
being on the main line of the
Canadian Pacific r. Il. where
grain can be put to Lake Winni-
peg for 15c per cwt. from where
it goes to England by water. l
still think that the Snake River
Valley is o. X. but ! also think
that | have found another place
where | can make more money
with less invested and with less
work and that looks good to me.

We did come mighty nigh selling out
our little place,
But our better judgement conquered
just in time,
And we came to the conclusion that the
music we would face
And keep on gaining friends while in
our prime.
Our customers, they came to us, as soon
as they found out,
That we'de decided from their midst
to roam,
And told us that we couldn't 60 of that
there was no doubt
That we must stay right here and
make our home.
They told us they were satisfied with
the kind Of goods we make,
That experiments were not now in
their line,
That this old town it needed us and the
kind of goods we bake,
And that our goods were simply ah,
sublime.
And now you know the reason why our
thoughts have greatly changed,
And why we have decided here to stay
until
The folks are satisfied with the plans
we have arranged
And everyone will come and buy their
goods of John and Will.

several feet to a few inches, and,
in fact, in some localities the
gravel showed on the surface.
When we got into the locality
of Calgary we found the black

to two feet in depth and underlaid
with a heavy clay, which holds
moisture like putty, but it seems
to be a fertile clay as the grass
roots could be traced to depth of
from four to seven feet. The land
is slightly rolling, and in many of
the low hollows, or basins, there
were small lakes, and around the
edges of these lakes and all along
the borrow pits of the rail road
could be seen traces of white aka
line, potash, but as we journeyed
eastward toward Gleched the traces
of potash decreased and the mum.
Der of lakes decreased. We only
found two of these lake beds and
they we're dry, and but very little
signs of the potash of sufficient ex.
tent to injure vegetation. The
entire country was covered with Il
heavy growth of grass, similar to
our bunch grass, except that it
forms a solid mat all over the
ground. Where this grass had
not been cut for hay, or the prai-
RE fires had not destroyed it, there
was such heavy carpet of it that
we could easily track vehicle for
miles, as it was not beat down to
the ground, which showed very
plainly that they do not have very
heavy snow falls, as there was
easily descerned three crops of this
grass all intermingled together.
This could not be the case if the
SHOWS were very deep and laid on
for any length of time.
The lateral bitches were cut all
through this land so as to show
plainly what land would be under
water and what would be above
the canals, and they also gave us
a fine chance to follow the depth
of vegetable soil, as it was very
easy to DISCERN where it met the

so that water sinks through it
readily, but yet it holds moisture
exceedingly well, as it does not

showers, and one and one.half
inches under the surface there was
plenty of moist soil although there
had not been any rain for more
than three weeks. The clay
seemed to be a natural storage for

PARIS, Oct. 15--On the trial Octo-
ber II of the suit for divorce brought
by the Countess de Castellane against
her husband, Count Boni, no compro-
mise has been effected.
The count has refused the offer
made in the brief of the countess to
settle a fixed income on him. The
amount is not ascertaina ble but Is de-
scribed as 'very liberal i'm accordance
with the countess generous conduct
throughout the affair."
The count, however. insists ON the
liquidation of all his old debts, to
(which, It Is stated the countess fam
lily could never agree.
In view of the failure to settle this
point 1t is practically certain that the
count on "Wednesday VIII seek delay,
but the countess counsel, who are
ready for trial, are confident that he
will not secure postponement for
longer than fortnight.
If the case is postponed they will en-
deavor to secure a similar postpone
ment of the creditors case on October
"a, which the count wants to have de-
cided first.
When the issue finally comes to trial
the countess lawyers expect to get a
decree upon the documentary evidence
which will be submitted and thus
avoid an appearance i'll court; but IL the
court is not satisfied the French pro-
ceedure is to order an inquiry" to

Continued from paEe ono.

Aleer in the council thought that he
would make just the right kind OF
mayor. McAleer received the nomina-
ton and was elected. He has been
right with the people. He certainly
vetoed everything that the Southern
Pacific wanted and he and I have
never had anything to do with each
other There came vote on the liquor
question and the mayor, in accordance
with the vote of the people, has en-
deavored to follow the wishes of the
overwhelming majority in respect to
this question.
AS a result McAleer has had abuse
heaped upon him by the very paper
that contributed to his nomination and
election.
Mo, have declared for no candidate,
and l know of no reason why / should,
but if I can help any of my friends 1
certainly shall be glad to do so.
II am in politics to stay. Should the
Southern Pacific ever decide that
must either give up politics or my po-
sition I shall give up the latter, but
never my politics.

opened the door and turned on the
porch light, II have not said anything,
