Extraordinary INCREASE IN
FARM LANDS,
"sOuTHERN ALBERTA Is
MIGHTY GOOD COUNTRY"

No stronger or better evidence can
be given of the merits of country
than that which comes from the testi-
mony of the settler who has deter
mined to succeed. This is why we
reproduce the following letter, which
speaks for itself. These people were in
duced to go to Western Canada
through the solicitation of q Canadian
Government agent, who secured for
them the low railway rates.
"Carmangay, Alta, Canada, 12-15-'0S.
mr.. G. j. Broughton, Canadian Gov
eminent Agency, 1876 Adams Street,
Chicago: We had audacity enough to
tackle the proposition of buying four
sections of land in Southern Alberta,
thirty miles east of Clairsholm and
heading up on the Little Bow, and our
two boys each got a homestead adj
joining. We fenced three sections and
the two homesteads, and built house,
barn, corrals and granary, and have
since enlarged some of these build
ings. We have broken 200 acres of
land, which has been sowed to oats
and wheat. During the severe winter
OF two years ago the winter wheat
killed out somewhat, and our crop
yielded only ten bushels to the acre,
but the spring wheat went "a bushels
TO the acre. In this country we must
be prepared for storms and cold, at
times 20 to 80 below zero, yet on the
whole the winters are mild; and while
there are exceptional crops, ii is fair
to say that the average farmer can
depend on having yield in average
years of from 20 to 20 bushels to the
acre for spring wheat; and winter
wheat in our immediate neighborhood
yields from 20 to 80 bushels to the
acre on the average.
We have now quite bunch of
horses, over so in all, about $50 sheep,
after having sold 140 for mutton this
fall We have 20 head of pure bred
registered Shropshire, which are
worth $50 each. The average price
received for mutton sheep was $500
and little over. Pork brings and
6 cents a pound. We have about 80
head Of cattle on our ranch now,
and last winter they picked their en-
tire living from our pasture, running
10 the straw stacks for shelter at night.
"The increase of land values has
been extraordinary. Our land four
years ago cost us little less than
$500 an acre. We have sold one sec
ton for $500, but we would not sell
any more for less than $500 per acre,
as we expect the railroad within four
miles of our ranch within the next IS
months. Southern Alberta of West
ern Canada is mighty good country
for any man or woman who loves outdoor
life, and who wants to get good re-
turns for their labor and investment.
1--WE have been pleased with our
treatment from the Canadian Govern
ment, and can heartily commend South
ern Alberta as a splendid country in
which to locate.
yours very truly,
(Signed)

THURSDAY, JANUARY 7, 1909.

So soon as the new material which
has been ordered for hepurpose isre-
ceived, The Daily Herald will be en-
larged, in order to accommodate its
growing advertising patronage The
present plan is to add two pages, but
when the arrangements are completed
for the press report which the paper
expects to receive. its size will be in
creased to eight pages. The latter
improvement has been delayed some
what for the present by the fact that
the telegraph facilities are made
quate for the transmission of any
press report. The Herald is endeav-
oring to have the Western Union
company put in another line to this
place, in order to secure the press
service. This will probably be effect
ed within the near future, and then
the people of Brownsville and this
fast growing Valley will receive the
news of the outside world when it is
still news through The Daily Herald

MATTERS AT MISSION.
Pleasant Christmas Celebration
Cheerful Report.

To The Herald:
Mission, Texas, Jan. christmas
passed very pleasantly here with the
good people of Mission, ready to say
peace On earth; good viii to men
The Xmas tree was largely attend
ed at the school house and the sing
ing and speaches by the children were
excellent. So also was the much en-
joyed talk to the older people and
children by Prof Cummins on the
Importance of celebrating Christmas.
The children were trained by Miss
Corrin Whiteherst, their teacher.
Master Howard Sammons returned
to San Antonio today, where he has
been attending the Peacock Military
school, after spending the holidays
with his parents.
A number of Mission gentlemen,
who were out on a hunting trip last
week were Messrs. J. c. Taylor,
Sweat McShane, Sammons and others.
Mr. .Sammons had the good fortune
to bring back several fine buck deer,
very much to the surprise of all who
know him as a hunter, some were
mean enough to hint that the deer
may have been crippled before by
some sportsman. However, he made
many of the neighbors glad on the
approach of the New Year with gen.
erous supply of real nice venison, the
writer being a neighbor.
The farmers here are very busy
with their crops of onions, cabbage,
celery and alfalfa. Some are planting
fruit trees, such as oranges, figs, etc.,
also strawberries.
The latest addition to the enter
prising town of Mission is the new
store of Mr.. VIII McShane, which he
has filled with fresh groceries. He
is now ready to accommodate his
many friends.
Mission also has union Sunday
school and quite a number of Christ
loving people who forsake not the as
sembly of themselves as the manner
of some is on the Lords day. We trust
the number will be doubled before
another year.

Union Pacific To use the southern Pa
cinc line IN transcontincntal trade.
Mr.. Hawley replied that the Union
Pacific did use it. The witness said
that IT was quite possible that II the
Union Pacific attempted to force an
Issue with the Southern Pacific the
latter road could divert its traffic at
Ogden to the Denver a Rio Grande.
In its southern traffic he said the
Union Pacific has always been obliged

said that the Southern Pacific was an

Pacific had to be turned over to the
Southern Pacific al the terminals. He
denied that specific agreements as to
