Dear Sir:
Your favor of January 10th to this

This Office in an opinion with re-
spect to the same matter rendered

that therefore in the, event of its

Comment has been made in the
past of the unfortunate conditions
existing in the Canadian northwest.
1t appears to be going from bad to
worse. The strain of the war across
the sea is making itself felt in Can
ada as the mother country becomes
more deeply involved in the titanic
struggle for supremacy. Deep
thinkers and careful investigators
have prophesied heavy immigration
will begin much before that time.
Already large numbers o. Canadian
farmers are hiking for "the states. /.
Several local parties have received
letters from friends and relatives in
Canada telling of this person and that
person soon to return to the Dako-
taa. Much Of the loss of settlers
which this state sustained by the
end Of the free land is sure to be
made up by these returning pill
grims. That undefnable something
is in ;he air that spells prosperity for
the Northwest at no far distant date.
If you are fortunate enough to own
a little chunk Of real estate, hang
on. It will be worth while.

1t has been long time since the

in the way of letter heads and
envelopes for farmers as during

ty fine thing for the farmer,

ing farm stationery. 1t is the best
advertising he can get for the least
money and it's nice custom. too.
