Detective Fischel saw Moore and the
B%lEelman child and another youngster

He saw Benny lake a pocketbook from

Moore until ten days ago. Moore APP

ne HAD $4,000 IN CASH IN 1908;
NOW WORTH 100000.

Ny parents were originally Cans
dams from Essex County, Ontario. ]
was born in Monroe County, Michigan.
from which place I moved to Red Lake
Falls. Minnesota, where farmed for
- years. I sold my farm there in the
summer Of 1908 and In September Of
that year came to Canada with my
wife and eight children. I had about
500 in cash. team of horses, q COW, q
few sheep and some chickens. took
up q quarter section Of land near Jack
Fish Lake, Meota p. o., and later on
purchased 70: 100000 an adjoining
quarter section. l have now 4S head
Of cattle. q number of horses. good
buildings and consider my holding IL
worth at least $S.000.00. My children
have raised from $500 to $500 worth
Of garden truck each year since We
have been here. I have never had .
poor crop and have never had one
frosted. My wheat has averaged from
Is to 80 bushels per acre with one or
two years considerably NOR My
oats have always yielded well up to 80
bushels per acre and once or twice n
high as IS. My cattle have never been
stabbed in winter. and do not need It.
I consider that this country offers bet
ter opportunities for settlers than any.
where I have ever been. l am sure
that almost any person can come here
and buy land at say $500 per acre
and pay for 1t in one crop. My ex-
perience is that II Q man farms his
land in the right way he is not likely
to have his crop frosted.
Most Of the settlers in my district
are Americans and Canadians and
know lots of them who came here with
little or no capital who are now do
ing well, but I do not know of any who
