THE HOME LIFE OF THE
SETTLER
WESTERN CANADA AFFORDS AL
THE COMFORTS AND MANY or
THE LUXURIES.

A young lady of Wisconsin secured
a certificate at the Milwaukee ofics
Of the Canadian Government, and on
presenting this to the ticket agent OF
the railway at the Canadian boundary
line she secured a ticket at q reduced
rate which carried her to Edmonton.
Alberta, from which point, about for
ty miles, she had friends. This was .
couple Of years ago, and the young
lady is now married to one of the
promising young farmers of the die
trict.
In writing Of her trip to the MIL
waukee representatives Of the Cana
dian Government she says: II enjoyed
my trip up here very much, and en-
pect to go out to our homestead In
the Pembina district next spring." Ts
the housewife the information thai
she has put up twelve quarts of rasp
berries" is important. as they picked
them themselves" and they might
have picked ten times the quantity u
they had required them, for there IL
no country where wild fruit grows In
such abundance. The letter goes on
to say. and this is interesting from q
woman's standpoint, the country 10
very beautiful" Speaking Of the
friends with whom she went I'D to
live. she says: "They certainly have
q beautiful farm and house"-they
had been there about four years, also
going from Wisconsin-"they have
about twenty acres Of oats and bar.
ley. five acres alfalfa, three acres D o
tatoes and l don't know how many OF
vegetables. think they have about
forty acres under cultivation altogeth-
er. They are now draining a slough
which they will afterwards pillow ana
put into fall wheat. They also have
a large herd Of cattle. and Mrs. O.
has about 100 chickens. They make
on an average of 30 pounds of butter
every week. I never saw such grand
cream"
Now these people are enjoying life
In Alberta; they have a splendid eli.
mate. excellent prospects, and are
happy that they are part and parcel
in the working out of the upbuildine
OF a new country, that will take ito
place amongst the progressive coun.
tries of the century. Numbers OF let
tiers that express satisfaction as ex.
IRENE as the quoted appear IN
literature sent out by the Canadian
Government and which may be had
on application to any Of its agents.

This greatest of all New York SUE

the Opera House when Mr.. Eugene

be greeted by the usual capacity bust

retains its hold on the public is most
remarkable from the fact that for two

the public clamor for return engage
ments. Those who have already wit
messed its performance are the most
insistent on its return. 1t will be

The scenic accessories will be of the
