Not What It Seems to Be

A number from this locality have
gone to Canada and have written
quite favorably of the country,
but they may have been caught SO
badly that they do not want their
friends to know about it. At
least the following article from the
Herald would lead one to think so:
The Cando party of seven or
eight farmers who went to Moose
Jaw and Maple Greek in Canada
with the intention of taking up
homesteads returned home Mon
day very much wiser and more
contented lot than they were when
they left here week ago. They
found no land in either locality
fit for any purpose and the sam
Piles Of soil they brought back
were mixtures of volcanic ashes
and stone such as is found in the
desert and mountainous regions of
Colorado and Wyoming. They
state that the face of the land is
covered with a coating ot sandy
soil about an inch deep and below
this comes the worthless ashy-
stone substance that hardens and
upon which there is hardly any
vegetation growing. They travel
ed quite extensively over this To-
cality and found that the whole
territory was made up Of about the
same kind of material.
At Moose Jaw they met w. 81.
CLARK, who is acting as agent for
the land, and who is charging his
Cando friends $40 per for locating
them. Kilby, who used to con-
duct the Hotel Majestic in this
city, is at Maple Creek, also in
the employ of the land grafters of
that country, and the parties who
returned from there Monday say
there seems to be rivalry be-
tween them as to which will catch
the most suckers from Cando.
For the past two months there
has been a Cando-C Canada fever
among the citizens of this locality
but nearly all who went there
have returned and recite the same
story of worthless land and graft.

FUTURE BEST

certain gentleman of Chickasha,
not given to exaggeratlon or boosting
his home town in fulsome way,
makes the statement that it was his
privilege to meet and talk with cap
italist from the state OF Iowa, who
came here few days ago in search
OF either some gilt-edge property in
which he might might invest or an
opportunity to make handsome loan.
The gentleman In question had just
come from Oklahoma City, where he
was besought by gentleman who de-
sired to borrow $4,000; the would-be
borrower offered a 10 per cent rate
OF interest with some OF the best look
ing Main street property for security,
but the very fact that the man offered
10 per cent frightened the capitalist
and he made no loan. He made up his
mind that II business in that city was
what 1t was advertised to be and Main
street realty was so sure of future APP
probation the owner Of this realty
ought to be able to go to his home
banks and get all the money he wanted
at 10 per cent. or even less.
At Chickasha the Iowan was suffi.
clently impressed with future pros
poets to invest thousands Of dollars in
farm property. Too, he lntimated that
he hoped to negotiate some loans here.
Instead OF being inflated, Chickasha
Is growing because Of natural de-
mands.
