wearing a pleasant smile and ready

This town has population of

seven years ago. 1t has two trunk

being built. which 1t is expected to-

Sherman's Sarcasm.

At the head of the mall and at the
foot of Capitol hill one of the handsom-
est and most costly monuments in Wash
lngton is being erected in memory Of
President U. S. Grant. The work COW
.rs a comparatively large piece of ground
and is progressing rapidly.
At either corner of the base of the big
monument there will be a mammoth
BRASS lion. These were in place last
week, and their presence attracted the
attention of Congressman HUMPHREYS
as the car carrying Mr.. Sherman and
others turned slowly around the curve.
"Fine lions," said Mr.. HUMPHREYS,
land very appropriate, too. The people
will think they were captured by Presi-
dent Roosevelt"
TOO small, too small for that" was
Mr.. Sherman's comment with fine sar-
casm directed at the Presidents Prov
ess as hunter, and everybody laughed.

What Former Oregon Farmer
Thinks of Western Canada.

Albert Nelson left Benton County,
Oregon, in September, 1904, for the
great Canadian prairies. To quote
from his letter: / was greatly sur
prised to find such an immense stretch
of rich virgin prairie still almost I'M
occupied in the very heart of North
America. The splendid crops of oats,
wheat, barley, potatoes and hay I be-
held in the settlements made me very
eager for a piece of this rich soil, ana
I soon located in the Goose Lake coun-
try. We have here a great stretch OF
the rich deep clay loan of the Sas-
katchewan-a soil heavy and hard to
break, but particularly we'll adapted for
the retention Of moisture and produc-
ton of the bright No. / hard wheat,
and great crops Of oats, barley, flax and
potatoes. 1 had 60 bushels of oats
weighing AZ pounds to the bushel per
acre. Some Of my neighbors had still
greater yield. Wheat yielded from 20
to 80 bushels per acre. We have all
done well here, and could name many
Americans who came here with means
to go ahead, who have done big al
ready. For homesteads one has to go
further west, but the best prairie can
be bought here for from $12 to SIC
per acre. The climate is dry and
healthy. This is the regular Saskatch-
evan fall weather-frosty nights and
bright sunny days-ideal for threshing
and hauling out of wheat. The trails
are dusty, as thousands of wheat teams
are moving towards the elevators.
The sight Of it makes one stop and
wonder what it will be in a few years
when the immense prairies get under
cultivation. Heavy snowfall is the eX-
ception here. Snow generally falls in
December and goes off in March. 1t
sometimes gets very cold, but the Sas-
katchewan farmer does not fear the
cold. Winter is his season of rest. The
first or second crop he builds COM
Portable house for himself, and warm
stables for his horses. He need not,
like some, be poking about in the mud
all winter attending a few beasts for
a livelihood.
