Governor Chase S. Osborn in a
statement to the Grand Rapids Her

your .cquest for a statement from

this statement as an acknowledgment
of my profound appreciation of this
public sentiment, wherever it may ex-

have tried to conscientiously do my
duty as chief executive of this great
commonwealth.

Mr.. Ralph Miller.
Dear Friend Yours of the 28th ult
received and contents noted
| was unaware that any letter of
mine had been published, however,
if it will do anyone in Alma or there
abouts any good, do not mind.
| am very enthusiastic about this
country and always fear to enter into
a description of it and local condi-
tions because it reads so like fairy
tale that people are likely to think
it a gross exaggeration.
Bruce has two implement houses,
two grain elevators, two general
stores, hardware and furniture store,
livery and feed barn, blacksmith shop,
barber shop and a good hotel, also
two large lumber yards. Is this not
good for town which has had rail-
road service but little more than one
year?
] can show you crops of wheat that
will yield better than 40 bushels per
acre and potatoes that will go 500
bushels per acre; oats so bushels and
so on. All this on land that is going
begging at SIS an acre. The country
is filling up fast. This particular To-
cality has had more settlers this year
than any other along this road.
I am sure pou would be as greatly
interested in the country as | am
and the trip would be a splendid out
ing Come out and we will do all we
can to make it so, anyway | dis
like to advise people to come here
for it may not appeal to them as it
does to us, but is surely the place for
man OF ambition. Anyone with fore
sight must see this 1 can show you
lots of fellows worth $4,000 who had
hardly anything five years ago.
You will need to come via Grand
Trunk Pacific Ask Mr.. McInnes if
he can send you part way by water
by this system. The boat trip would
be fine at this time ofthe year Ask
for a homeseeker's ticket and reserve
berth before you start Sometimes
it is hard TO get one and they will be
likely to tell you to get one after get
ting on the train, but usually you
cannot. | would advise bringing a
lot of GRUB" in basket or suitcase;
it saves two or three dollars a day
Ell route.
This is a very healthful climate;
am actually getting fat; can you be-
lieve it?
There have been only two or three
days this summer that have been
warmer than so above, and there is
always a cool breeze.
Don't fail to take this trip; | am
sure it will do you all sorts of good
Advise me before starting and l
will be at the train to meet you
Our only regret is that we didn't
come here years ago and l believe it
will be the same with you.
Trusting to hear from you soon,
