Bowyille, Alberta, Canada.
Feb. 18th. 1908

Editor Linn: Now that 1 am a re-
sident of Alberta, Canada, l will en-
deavor to write a few lines for your
valuable paper. / came up here a
year ago, and took a homestead 81
miles north of Lethbridge. This is
my nearest railroad point, but we
have a post office called Bowville, con
sisting Of a general store and post
office, conducted by a Mrs. Peterson
and a blacksmith shop, conducted by
N. N. Paulson, also a harness shop,
run by John Clark, and all of them
doing a paying business. We also
have a hall "a by go, managed by Tom
Root, where the young folks have
their enjoyment about once a week.
My homestead is 4 miles northeast
of this little place. There are all
kinds Of people here, a majority of
them from North and South Dakota.
There is quite a settlement Of Nor
wegians around me. This country
was first settled about two years ago
by farmers. OF course there was
ranches here before but now they
have started to sell their stock and
move out while some of them have
commenced TO farm, there is some va
cant land here yet but 1t will be TAX
en- Don
The Canadian Pacific has com.
menced to build a bridge across the
river called the Belly river out to a
coal mine called the Diamond mine
and then from there on to Bowville.
We expect a road here by next fall.
This bridge will be a mile and half
long and three hundred feet in height
at some places. Crops were good here
last year. Spring wheat run all the
way from 30 to 48 bushels per acre,
fall wheat averaged a little better
than 36 to 54. l vas running a ma
chine last year and 1 was really sur
prised to see how grain turned out.
One Of my neighbors had II acres of
oats, first crop on breaking that went
lO2 bushels per acre, and weighed 40
pounds to the bushel machine meas
ure. His name is George Green, Bow
vile, Alta, Canada, If anybody wants
to write to him, and Robert Burns
had BATS that went over one hundred
bushels per acre. l call that pretty
good for a new settled country.
Welhave had the finest winter l
ever lfved through; cattle and horses
are grazing on the grass just as they
do in summer and are hog fat. Some
of the farmers have been pulveriZing
their ground ready for spring work,
and one of my neighbors has sowed 5
lacres Of wheat for experimenting.
This place is about so miles east of
the Rocky mountains and I can plain
ly see the peaks from my place in a
clear day. We have what they call
chinook winds that come from the
coast and if it SHOWS today we might
have a chinook to morrow and the
snow would melt in a short time.

A called meeting of the Democrats

ton for temporary chairman Mr.. w,
II. Morgan of Reliance. Mr.. Morgan
was duly elected and escorted to the
chair.
Mr.. Horace Jones of this city was
elected temporary secretary.
Prof John Allen suggested that
some one state the object of the meet
ing. which he termed the Democratic
Good Government Club, and called on
Mr.. j. II. White to perform that ser
vice.
Mr.. White belleved some wrong had
been done somewhere in the recent
primary election. He believed that
the wrong should be looked into and
so positively condemned as to pre-
vent a recurrence of any irregularities
in future. He wished to have good
moral, democratic government in the
county now. henceforth, and forever
