to be made plain by action last week.
One guardsman who failed to obey the
summons of a summary court was taken
into custody by deputy United States

fined by such a court, promptly made
payment of the sum assessed when an

ITO the Commissioner Of Immigra'
ton, Winnipeg, Manitoba.-Dear Sir:
I. in company with my brother and
other relations, arrived in this coun-
try in the spring Of 1898. At the time
we got off the train at Wolseley, 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 order to make
sufficient money to enable us to es-
tablish ourselves. When we thought
we had enough money to start with,
and my brother took up one quarter
section Q6O acres) land each 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 q shack and
barn Of logs, which we have hauled
during the time we were not able to
work in the field. We were certainly
working very hard, but l am glad to
say that we made our fortune in this
country. To-day we do not need to
work so hard as we used to, as we
have three men hired steady for
whom we pay $4,000 to $4,000 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 first class buildings thereon,
besides having all the necessary ma
chinery, We always do our own
threshing, for we have % horse
power threshing outfit.
"Our success in farming in this
country also enabled us to get rid of a
number Of horses Of less value, and
instead we bought 10 pure-bred mares
representing value in the neighbor
hood of $4,000.
Regarding raising grain, which Is
the main factor in our district, / an
proud to say that we have always
had good success. We have raised
wheat as high as IS bushels to the
acre; and this year, although we sui
fered from lack of sufficient rain, oul
wheat went q 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 viii
have about LILO acres in crop. Fol
one carload Of wheat which we have
shipped few weeks ago we got 6
price of 81 cents per bushel, and II
graded as No. 2 Northern, although We
have a quantity of wheat which viii
surely 60 as No. l 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.
Il. for myself, feel compelled to sa,
that our Great West is the land where
person who is willing to work ant
trun his hands to anything, can make
a fortune, and a comfortable living
Our country is thoroughly free coun
try. and we have good Government;
ano as long as we have good crops

time.
