tion. Winnipeg, Manitoba.-Dear Sir:
l. in company with my brother and
other relations, arrived In this coun.

we got of the train at Wolseley, Sask.,
we had only few dollars, not enough

a considerable time in order to make

Loon Creek district. In 1900 we moved
on our homesteads with one team Of
horses and one walking plow. While
was engaged with the work in the
field, my brother built shack and
barn Of logs, which we have hauled
during the time we were not able to
work In the field. We we're certainly
working very hard, but 1 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! ! am also glad to tell
you that to-day we are owners Of a
section and threequarters 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 .22 horse

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, / am
proud to say that we have always
had good success. We have raised
wheat as high as 80 bushels to the
acre; and this year, although we suf.
fered from lack of sufficient rain, our
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 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 1t
graded as No. 2 Northern, although we
have quantity 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.
II. for myself, feel compelled to say
that our Great West Is the land where
person who is willing to work and
trun his hands to anything, can make
fortune, and comfortable living.
Our country is a thoroughly free coun.

Are there not in England among
the male population minds of far
lesser caliber than those Of the women
who believe they should vote? There
Is no doubt of 1t. Yet we, who have
greater grasp of the political side of
life in his majesty's domain, are de-
MED the privilege. Is our condition
not like that which you Americans
fought back in 1776: taxation without
representation?
From reading the cable news from
America in the daily newspaper here
In London / learn that several states
of our former colonies have bestowed
upon their women the right to cast
ballots in rendering decisions as to
state and city officers. If the offspring
of England shall have SO far prog
ressed as to recognize that the femi-
nine branch of the human race de-
serves SAY" in the affairs of men,
is 1t not time for the mother country
to cast from her back the black cloak
OF unequal suffrage?
There is a suffrage lesson In Amer
ica and well may England profit by 1t.
The thought that voting is unwom-
anly is as obsolete as the old stage
coach system, to my mind. and some
day the eyes of our country will be
opened to that fact. We women have
simply formed ourselves into a band
of leaders and we hope soon to see our
way clear to the voting booth.
Our struggle commenced in humble
little mass meetings on the street
The success of these resolved itself
into the desire to do greater things
and to-day you Americans who read
the newspapers are viewing a fight
which is nearing the mountain top of
victory.
