"Wheatwyn, Sask., Nov. 9th, 1908.
ITO the Commissioner Of Immigrar
ton, Winnipeg, Manitoba.-Dear Sir:
I, in company with my brother and
other relations, arrived in this
try in the spring Of 1893. At the time
we got off the train at Wolseley, Sask.,
we had only a few dollars, not enough
to start farming on our own account,
q 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, I
and my brother took up one quarter
section (160 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
l was engaged with the work in the
field, my brother built a 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 a month,
besides board and lodging during the
summer time! l am also glad to tell
you that to-day we are owners OF q
section and three-quarters Of the best
land, with first class buildings thereon,
besides having all the necessary ma
chinery. We always do our w
t%hreshing, for we have a % horse
power threshing outfit.
Our success in farming in this
country also enabled is to get rid Of a
number Of horses Of less value, and
instead we bought 10 pure-bred mares.
representing a value in the %neighbor-
hood of $4,000.
Regarding raising grain, which is
the main factor in our district, l am
proud to say that we have always
had good success. We have raised
wheat as high as 35 bushels to the
acre; and this year, although we suf-
tered from lack Of sufficient rain, our
wheat went u 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 a few weeks ago we got a
price OF 81 cents per bushel, n It
graded as No. z Northern, although we
have a quantity Of wheat which will
surely go as No. 1 Northern. During
the six years we have been farming
for ourselves we have had one
frost around here, 50 that We always
had a good crop.
Il. for myself, feel compelled to say
that our Great West is the land where
a person who is willing to work and
trun his hands to anything. can make
a fortune, and a comfortable living.
Our country is a thoroughly free coun
try, and we have a good Government;
and, as long as we have good crops
and a good Government, we are salts
fed, and I think that is all we want

HUNTERS INNOCENCE PROVEN.
Chemical Analysis of Bloodstains Re.
veal Nothing-AlsO Alibi.

Savannah, Ca, Dec. ia chemi-
cal analysis of bloodstains found on
a bundle Of clothing owned by J. G.
Hunter, husband Of the last of the
three women victims of the Perry
street murders here, to die, Tuesday,
practically eliminated Hunter from
suspicion Of guilt as the perpetrator
of the terrible crimes.
The analysis was made at the re-
quest Of the police by City Bacteri-
ologist Victor Bassett. and his declar-
alton Is that though Hunter declared
the stains to be variety of varnish,
yet they are blood; however, they
are not recent stains, and must be
older than several days, therefore
could not have been made at the time
of the murder Of Mrs. Hunter, Mrs.
Ohlander and Mrs. Gribble.
An fidavit was obtained to-day
from J. "a. Robertson, a fellow work
man of Hunter, too, that asserts that
during the time the murders must
have been committed, Hunter did
not leave his sight long enough to
go to the Gribble home and return.
Early to-day Hunter and William
walls, who also is a prisoner and
was a close friend of Mrs. Hunter,
were given refined variety Of the
third degree" by the police. Nei-
ther knew Mrs. Hunter was dead.
The husband was led into a room
where his wife lay in her coffin. Sud-
denly he was brought face to face
with the dead woman. He showed
much emotion, but asked to be allow
ed to kiss her, and did so. Walls,
declaring that he would rather have
his head cut off than harm her." was
allowed to fondle the dead woman's s
hands.
The problem the police face now is
to apprehend the negro man seei, at
the Gribble home with an axe in his
hands at about the time Of the muir
ders. Find this man, they believe,
and they will solve the mystery.

was killed from covey OF some
twenty ordinary partridges. 1t had

partridge feathers. This was on one
wing. Otherwise, excepting two or
three black feathers, it was snow
white. The white partridge had been
seen several times by hunters around
Montmorenci, but none could get a
shot at 1t until Mr.. Mills saw the
white one in the large covey, and,

bird.
