MAN IN WESTERN CANADA.
Three Years Ago Worth Only $4,000;
To-Day 10 Worth $4,000.

Agent Canadian Government,
Waterfowl, S. D.
Dear Sir:
Your letter dated Nov. 9th at hand
and was very glad to hear from you.
l see that you are still at work per-
suading people to move into the Cana
dian Northwest. l must tell you that
l owe you many thanks for ~persuading
me to come out here. am only sorry
that l wasn't persuaded sooner, and
there is still plenty OF good chances
for many more right at the present
time. l hope that you will be able to
induce more to make a start out to
this part OF the country.
Now I must tell you what I have
accomplished since I came out here
and it won't be three years till the 1st
OF July. I shall shortly receive my
patent for my homestead, the home
stead cost me $1,000 in all, to-day it Is
worth $4,000 per acre, but 1t Is not for
sale. Then a year ago last May I
bought 800 acres at $500 per acre and
sold this fall for $1,000 per acre and
cleared a profit of s ,16O.0O. How is
that for the Northwest? l now have
800 acres Of land and all paid for, Is
head OF horses, 80 head OF cattle, %
pigs, 2 sheep and about $50 chickens
and other poultry, and all new ma
chinery and everything is paid for.
We also bought 8 lots In Calgary and
Z In High River. We gave $470 for
the Is lots and they are paid for. At
present I consider myself worth 3d.
900. 90, and when I left Wisconsin less
than three years ago I had about
5 100000. This year I threshed a little
over 1000 bushels of grain, have
about one thousand bushels OF fine
potatoes and about five hundred BUSH
els of turnips. Mrs. Beisiegel sold
about 5000 worth OF garden truck and
poultry this fall Now there are lots

as well as I did in the same length Of
