United States Settlers Becoming
Rich on Western Canada

The large number of United States
settlers coming to the Western prov
inces of Canada are easily explained
by the case of Mr.. G. Lacy, late Of
Wisconsin and later of Alberta.
Mr.. Lacy came to Canada from Wis

81 500 available cash in his possession
He rented a half-section of partly I'M
proved land in Alberta and commenced
summer following. He broke 300 acres
with oats, 20 with barley, and 26O with
wheat. Also he had two cows and ~
head of young live stock. He was for
tunate In buying feed at a bargain and
managed to rent the adjoining quarter
section as pasture.
A few weeks ago he decided to real.
lie his profts-and they amounted to
$4,000 absolutely clear from the crop
and the stock.

clippings from other papers largely Of

that would not be tolerated in a modern
newspaper, One such is hint to
young ladies', relating at some length
the embarrassment a young woman SUI

was told, leads US to say that the news
papers of today, however great their
faults in some respects, have a more
wholesome sense of humor.
Historically there is some interest in
the lengthy reprint from the National
lntelligencer of the private memoirs Of
Washington, but there is no local news
whatever on either the first, second, or
fourth page, and what little appears on
the third page is the report of the
County Court which had just adjourned
after twelve jury trials, and the return
of two bills of Indictment, one against
person for stealing four axes, and
another for assault and battery. A
list of marriages and deaths constitute
practically all of the other notice which
local news received in a Middlebury
paper SO years ago.
