Albert and along the Saskatchewan
river is a beautiful country with all
its green shrubbery.
The town is just about the size of
Canon City-not quite as big or as
well built. l think-but they claim
1000 people. II has the provincial
jail and the federal penitentiary. The
provincial Jail has about 100 inmates
and runs farm. The farm is a profit
able institution. paying its own way.
The penitentiary has about 300 pris-
oners. This institution also runs a
big farm. -Four prisoners here are
sentenced to be hung in August or
September.
From all appearances Prince Albert
is not SO good town in any way as
Canon City. yet this little city has a
public debt OF $4,000. 900. This is a
very favorable contrast to our little
debt OF about 100000. thought IL
Prince Albert isn't down hearted, why
should we be?
Here we spent the evening at the
Exposition. That il merely grand
name for an old fashioned county
fair. II was along the lines of
the fair we used to hold up in
Harding's Oddition. The buildings
were about as good as ours used
to be. A popular attraction was an

towns of much larger development.
These cities will look good to future
generations.
From Saskatoon which is the princi-
pie city in the province of Saskatch-
evan, we went about hundred miles
north to the city OF Prince Albert
This city is in the Northern limits of
the agricultural districts This is
about as far north as you find much
much farming. The lands here are
cheap, one man told me from about
SIS to $35 an acre.
Going into Prince Albert we were
met about Is miles out OF town by a
bunch of automobiles and driven into
town. 1t was a delightful ride in the
cool of the evening thru a beautiful
billy country. The hills are covered
with bushes and small trees. No
where we have seen large trees. Much
of the country has been like Western
Kansas. We have gone thru hundreds
of miles of country that looks almost
the same as Eastern Colorado and
Western Kansas There is a little
heavier rain fall here than along the
Kansas-Colorado line but for two
years II has been SO dry that the crops
are poor.
But this country up around Prince

wright we visited North Battleford.
This Is one Of these new towns that
grow up SO fast In this great Western
country. 1t is in the center OF a great
grazing and farming country. Lands
are still cheap around here.
The biggest thing in all these little
towns is the grain elevator. The first
thing you see as you approach
a town ls the high towering
grain elevators. All the way from
Winnipeg West the most prominent
things in the towns are the grain
elevators. And the grain elevators
indicate the wealth OF tie country.
! got gentle suggestion today from
one OF the officials aboard our train
who has had much to do with our
pleasant trip. He said, Back at
Dauphin your bunch gave us mighty
pleasant program. 1t was the best
thing we have had. But you were en-
tertaining us whereas we should be
entertaining you. Your people will
remember Dauphin by your own good
time. You viii forget what Dauphiu
has and what Dauphin could have
said to you. We want to create an i'm
preston on you-that you will NOT
forget"
Now l am wondering II that was a
compliment or was II hint. I an,

LET THE TWINS DO IT

Passage of the Roosevelt Highway
measure will result in the develop.
ment and prosperity of seven Ore.
gon counties in the western part of
the state. Passage Of the lrrigat-
ion Interest Guarantee measure
will, without cost to the state. give
encouragement TO great irrigation
enterprises east of the Cascades.
These are twin bills. meaning much
to Oregon. They will not only
add greatly TO the states material
prosperity and taxable wealth. but
will not be without a certain moral
effect in bringing together its two
vast empires-Eastern and Western
oregon-divided not only by the
lofty Cascade range but too often
by supposedly conflicting interests.
He who even occasionally looks be-
yond the narrow confines of his own
environment must needs be inspired
by the vision of state growth which
the motif of these two development
measures brings to his view. As
the MaIheur Enterprise says;
Eastern Oregon is nightly in
terested in the passage Of the special
measure to be voted upon at the
coming special election June s.
known as the Irrigation Interest
Guarantee measure. This bill will
cost the state as q whole nothing
and will open the way for imme-
diate development of hundreds OF
thousands of acres of the best land
in the world that is now either two
swampy or too arid to produce q
healthy weed.
1.-THE Pacific coast counties are
nightly interested in the passage OF
the measure known as the Roosevelt
Highway bill. which provides for
the building of north and south
highway along the Pacific coast
the bonds not to be issued unless
matched by special appropriation
from congress. This measure will
not cost the state much and will
greatly benefit the isolated people
of the coast counties, who now have
to wait until the fog settles in
order to travel their roads.
'Ict Eastern Oregon boost for
and vote for the Roosevelt highway
and in return we will graciously re-
ceive the support of the coast
sections for the Interest Guar
antee bill"
