time. / hope that you will be able to
induce more to make a start out to
this part Of the country.
Now / must tell you what I have
accomplished since / came out here
and it won't be three years till the 1st
Of July. / 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 it is not for
sale. Then a year ago last May
bought 800 acres at $500 per acre and
sold this fall for $4,000 per acre and
cleared a profit Of $4,000. How is
that for the Northwest? / now have
800 acres of land and all paid for, Is
head Of horses, 80 head Of cattle, %
pigs. 2 sheep and about 150 chickens
and other poultry, and all new ma
chinery and everything is paid for.
We also bought lots in Calgary and

The raveling Of state highways IN

generally been prevented in the past
by spreading a thin coat Of sand over
the surface. During last year, how
ever. there were two quite protraeted
dry spells which disturbed the bond
Of the road and caused loose stones
to stand up on the surface. Although
sand was spread thinly as before, it
did not prevent the raveling in all in
