THEY KNEW HOW TO WORK,
But Don't Need to Work So HARD
Now in Western Canada.

The experience of the Blaser broth
ers In Western Canada is similar TO
that reported TO every agent of the Ca
madam Government, whose ADVERTISE
ment appears elsewhere
Wheatwyn, Sask., Nov. q, l9os.
To the Commissioner of immigration
Winnipeg, Manitoba:
Dear Sir-I, in company with my
brother and other relations, arrived III
this country in the spring OF 1873. Al
the time we got off the train at NoIse
lev. Sask.. we had only few dollars,
not enough to start farming on our
own account, so we were compelled to
work out for a considerable time in or
der to make sufficient money to enable
us to establish ourselves. When we
thought we had money enough to start
with, and my brother took up one
quarter section (1G0 acres) land eacr
in the Loon Creek district. In 1900
we moved on our homesteads with one
team of horses and one walking pillow.
While | was engaged with the work In
the field, my brother built shack and
barn of logs, which we had hauled dur
ing the time we were not able to work
in the field. We were certainly work
ing very hard, but ! am glad to say
that we made our fortune in this coun-
try. To-day we do not need to work
so hard as we useu ~ do, as we have
three hired men steady, for whom we
hnsiias
board and lodging during the summer
time | am also glad to tell you that
to-day we are owners Of a section and
three quarters of the best land. with
frst-class buildings thereon, besides
having all the necessary machinery.
We always do our own threshing, for
we have 22-horse-power threshing
outfit.
Our success in farming in this coun-
try also enabled us to get rid OF
number Of horses of less value, and in
stead we bought ten pure-bred mares,
representing a value in the neighbor-
hood of $1,000
Regarding raising grain. which is the
main factor in our district, | am proud
to say that we have always had good
success. We have raised wheat as high as
,hirty-fiye bushels to the acre and this
year, although we suffered from lack
of sufficient rain, our wheat went TWEEN
ty-seven bushels to the acre, and we
had 900 acres In crop We have broken
this year about 100 acres new land,
and by next year we will have about
lilo acres in crop. For one carload
of wheat which we have shipped few
weeks ago we got a price Of 81 cents
per buShel, and it was graded as No.
. Northern, although we have guam
tity of wheat which will surely go as
No. | Northern. During the six years
we have been farming for ourselves, we
have never had one frost around here,
SO that we always had a good crop.
|. for myself, feel compelled to say
that our Great West is the land where
a person who is willing to work and
turn his hands to anything can make a
fortune and comfortable living. Our
country is a thoroughly free country,
and we have a good Government; and,
as long as we have good crops and
good Government, we are satisfied, and
j think that is all we want.
Yours very truly,
LORENS BLASER.

Prosperous Miller
A City Of Beautiful Homes, Good
Schools and Churches
ALSO A GREAT TRADE CENTER
COMPILED BY MOVER & ROBIN

Miller is the county seat of Hand county. 1t is an Incorporated city,
located on the Chicago & Northwestern railway, eighty miles east OF
Pierre. the state capital. 1t has Methodist, Catholic. Evangelical, and
Presbyterian churches. a good graded school, an opera house, three grain
elevators, a flour mill, two hotels, an electric light plant, water works, a
complete drainage and sewer system and no town of equal population can
boast of more or better cement sidewalks and a newly organized CONNER
cml club to boost home enterprise.
The citizens of Miller are energetic and spare no efforts to advance
the interests of their town, surrounded by a section of farming country
that has few equals and no superior, with a class of farmers who always
succeed. Particularly favored as she is in the matter of grain and stock
buyers this bright. prosperous town cannot fail to increase rapidly in
population and wealth. The business men of Miller are a wide-awake
class ever ready to meet any competition, and for cash ami in quantity can
and do quote prices equal to any catalogue house in existence when the
quality of their goods is taken into consideration. A good article always
commands a good price and Miller merchants have no shoddy, cheap John
goods to sell and they are ever ready to give customers the best end of the
bargain. Without the support of the people they must necessarily qit
business and as the market point gradually disappears 81 must the value
of farm lands gradually depreciate. If the people of this locality will
stick to the Home Patronage policy Miller will assume a livler air, bust
will be better, the home store viii, carry larger stocks, farm lands and city
property will increase in value and to bring about this condition the least
anyone can do toward the betterment of the community and their own
interest is to trade with the home merchant and keep the money in cmcu-
lation at home.

HAYES LUCAS LUMBER co.

LUMBER, BLDG MATERIAL AND COAL
In reviewing the business interests
of Miller we cannot refrain from
making special mention of the
Hayes Lucas Lumber Co. They are
extensive dealers in lumber and
building material, sash, doors, blinds
building paper, cement, brick and
hard and soft coal. This company
has been doing business in Miller a
good many years and have always
enjoyed a splendid trade due to the
popular business methods of their
manager Mr. d, A. Mccoy. This
gentleman has been engaged with
this company for a number of years
and no better or complete stock can
be found in Hand County than at
this popular establishment and they
are in a position to meet competi-
ton from any source and you are re-
quested to call and get prices on all
jobs large or small. 1t is creditable
to the business ability of Mr. Mccoy
to be chosen for so importent a posi-
ton and from the able manner in
in which he conducts the business
and the large trade secured we can
say that the company made no mis-
take when they appointed him their
local manager at Miller. Get figur-
es on all jobs before buying else
where.
