'Nemaha Advertiser W. W. SAND'RS, Publisher Nemaha. NelMaskn IMPRESSED WITH WESTERN CANADA. T" Our Irnlrle Will lie Fllleil l!i In Ten Yeiir. L. A. Slock well, of Indianapolis, n (Jailed States land man, who made an extensive tour of liiHpoetlon In Hit West, wrote the following article, un der date of Jan. 8, for un Indiana pub lication : "States." In tills letter I propone to nhow by extracts from my note book that thousand who have come up hero from the ".States" have succeeded far beyond their moat uitngulne oxpeetn Hons. Mr. N, 13. Ilcauiuunk, of Itra.ll, Intl.. was aiming $100 per mouth with a coal company. At about the ago of 10 he had saved about $.'5,000. Four years ago be landed near Ilanley, Sask. lie now owlis -IfiO acres of laud. Last fall (100.") he threshed -1,710 bushels of wheat ami .'1,100 bushels of barley oats. Ills wheat alone brought lilin over $1,000, which would bnve paid for the acres that It grew on. He Is to-day worth $15,000. 'I'll I x Ii .MuUlnur .Money I'nnt, In February, 100'J, .1. 0. Smith & Pro. were weavers In n big cotton mill In Lancashire, Knglaud. Coming here, they arrived In Wnpella, Sask.. with only $750 between Uhvii. They were so "green" and inexperienced that all they could earn the first summer was $0.00 per month, and the (list winter they had to work for I heir board. The next year, IJMKl, they took homesteads, and by working for neighbors they got a few acres broken out. upon which the next year they raised a few hundred bushels of wheat and oats. They also bought a team and broke out about sixty acres more. In 11)03 they threshed J, 700 bushels of wheat from It, and l.J'.OO bushels of oats. Their success being then assured, they borrowed some money, built a good house, barn and implement Hhcd, and bought a cream separator, etc. They now have a dozen cows, some full-blooded pigs and chick ens, good teams and Implements to match, and are on the high road to prosperity. Here are three cases se lected from my note book from among a score of others. One a mine boss, one a fanner, and one a factory oper ator. With each of them I took tea and listened to their story. "I hoped to better my condition." said one. "I i thought In time I might make a home," Huld another. "I had high expecta tions," said the other, and all said that "I never dreamed It possible to succeed us I have." 1.1 Ice A i'ii lil it ii XIkIiI. Everywhere, on the trains, at the hotels and In family, I have been told of successes that reminded me more of the stories In the Arabian Nights than of this matter-of-fact, workaday world. Yields of wheat from .'55 to 515 " bushels per acre, and of oats of from 00 to 100 bushels, are numerous In ev ery locality and well authenticated. At Moose Jaw, l.ethbrldge, Calgary, 13d inonton. Hogluii, ltraudou, Ilanley and many Intermediate places I saw ealtle . and young horses fat as your grain-fed animals of the "States" that bad never tasteil grain, and whose cost to their owners was almost nothing. At Mooso mln 1 saw a train load of 1,100 steers . en ionic to Knglnnd, that wer; shaky Vat, raised as above stated. If the ol,der generation' of farmers In Indiana, who have spent their lives in a contest with lags and stumps, as did their fathers before them, could see these broad prairies dotted with comfortable homes, largo red barns, and straw piles Innu merable, and the thriving towns, with , their towering elevators Jammed to the roof with "No. 1 hard," and then re member that four or live years ago these plains were tenautless but for the badger and coyote, they would mar vel at the transformation. Then If they followed the crowds as they emerged from the trains and hurried to the land olllces, standing In line until their respective turns to be waited on came, ud saw with what rapidity these lands wo being taken, they would certainly catch the "disease" and want some of It too. If these lands are beautiful. In midwinter with their long stretches of yellow stubble standing high above the snow, what must they he In summer time when covered with growing or ripening grain? Speaking of winter re minds me that our lloosler friends shrug their shoulders when they read In the Chicago and Minneapolis dallies of the temperature up here. The Ca nadian literature, with Its pictures, half-tones and statistics, gives a good Idea of her resources, but thirty or forty degrees below zero sounds dan gerous to a lloosler, who nearly freezes in a temperature of live above, esie clully when accompanied by a wind, as It often is ; but the fact is, when it Is very cold here it is still, and the air being' dry the cold is not felt as It is lu our lower latitudes, where there la wore humidity in the atmosphere.

The story of bow probably the mosf perfect feminine bund In America be came kuowu to the people is rather in teresting. As the story goes the possessor of thi baud was with some friends in a photo grapher's one day and while talking held up a piece of candy. The pose ol the hand with Its perfect contour and faultless shape attracted the attention of the artist who proposed to photo graph It. The result was a beautiful picture kept In the family until oiu day, after reading a letter from some one inquiring as to who wrote the Pos turn and Crane Nuts advertisements.
