SlCIlIANS HEAR NEWS
OF TERRIBLE DISASTER

New York, Jan. -Four hundred
Sicilian steerage passengers on the
steamer Gernania, which arrived here
today from Naples, were stricken with
grief when they learned for the first
time of the disaster in Messna, A re-
porter told them through an interpre-
ter the news when the vessel reached
the dock. At first they were inclined
to be incredulous and seemed not to
realize that any of them were con-
cerned until one of the passengers
from Messina asked whether the
earthquake had damaged that city.

Wheatwyn, Sask., Nov. 6. 1908.
TO the Commissioner OF Immigration,
Winnipeg, Manitoba:
Dear SirI, in company with my
brother and other relations, arrived In
this country in the spring of 1903. At
the time we got off the train at WolSe
lev Sask., we had only a few dollars,
not enough to start farming on our
own account, so we We're compelled to
work out for 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
In the Loon Greek district. In 1900
we moved on our homestends with one
team of horses and one wnllling plow.
While l was engaged with the work In
the field, my brother built Il 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 used to do. rs we have
three hired men steady, for whom we
pay $4,000 to $1,000 month, besides
board and lodging during the summer
time. l am also glad to tell you that
to-day we are owners of a section and
three-quarters Of the best land, with
trst-class buildings thereon, besides
having all the necessary machinery.
We always do our own threshing, for
we have a 22-horse-power threshiny
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 neighbour
hood of $1,000.
Regarding raising grain, which is tie
main factor in our district. | am proud
to say that we have always had good
euccess We have raised wheat us high as
tllirty-tive bushels to the acre; and this
year. although we suffered from lack
of sufficient rain, our wheat went TWEEN
tyseven 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 ngo we got n price of 81 cents
per bushel and 1t was graded as No.
2 Northern, although we have u quar-
tlty 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 good crop
l. for myself. feel compelled to say
that our Great West is the land where
person who is willing to work and
turn his hands to anything can make
fortune, and comfortable living Our
country is thoroughly free country,
and we have good Government; and.
as long as we have good crops and a
good Government, we are satisfied, and
think that is all we want.
