groundless and later it was ascer-

such idea In contempl alton.

Back From Saskatoon.

Blaine Ewing, who has been spending

among settlers who were not properly

During the rush for land last year a
large number settled on claims with
comparatively no means, some not even
having team to haul fuel with, while
others were total strangers to the farm
and cold weather, and these ara the
greatest sufferers.
At Saskatoon they had not had trair

of immigration next summer, and every
