SASKATCHEWAN WESTERN CANADA
IS CALLED THE GARDEN
OF EDEN
By a former Resident of Reed City
Michigan
In a letter to the Reed City Michi
gan Clarion Mr Jas G Armstrong
of Meltford Saskatchewan says writ
ing on 27th May 1901
This is a fine country for a poor
man as he can go out on the hay
slews and cut all the hay he needs He
turns his cattle out on the prairie and
when he is not using his horses he
turns them out also There is such an
abundance of food they never wan
der away
A lady who has lived here eight
years told me that this was the origi
nal Garden of Eden I certainly
would believe it if we could only find
the apple trees But as it is we have
many varieties of fruit strawberries
cranberries saskatoons huckleberries
red and black currants dewberries
plums red and black cherries and
red raspberries All of these fruits
grow wild Then the flowers that dot
the prairies making them look like a
real garden We have eaten of the
wild red currants and they are equal
if not superior to those grown in
Michigan We have sweet corn IVz
inches high As the Western farmers
are all done seeding branding cattle
and sheep shearing are now progress
ing Wool is only five cents a pound
and many ranchers have on hand last
years clip I enclose you a potato
blossom slice of new potato which
measured 6 inches when cut This
is no fairy tale as we are so much
farther than Reed City It is all
facts Come up and see This
has been truly called the garden of
the west With fruits and flowers
lakes and streams fish and fowl beau
tiful rivers tracts of timber and
mountains what more does a man
want

Western Canada will be cheerfully

EfSIST ON GETTING IT
Some grocers say they dont keep De
fiance Starch This Is because they bavo
a stock on hand of other brands contain
ing only 12 oz In a package which they
wont be able to sell first because De
fiance contains 16 oz for the same money
Do you want 16 oz instead of 12 oz
for same money Then buy Defiance
Starch Requires no cooking
Pickles of vinegar will not keep in j
41- jar that has ever had any kind of
grease kept in it

Latest Quotations From South Omaha
nnri KniisstN City
SOUTH OMAHA
Cattle There was not a particularly
heavy run of cattle but still thero was
not the life and activity to the market
that Is noted on some days That was
perhaps duo to some extent to the fact
that tho quality was nothing extra There
wero only about ten or fifteen cars of
corn fed steers in tho ynrdu so that the
more desirable grades Hold at just about
steady prices The cow market was not
very active but about steady with yes
terdays close The last half of the mar
ket yesterday was not as good as the first
part and packers bought their supplies
today about tho way they did lato yester
day The choicer grades have not de
clined much the last two days but me
dium kinds and catmcrs are weak to 5
10c lower There was very little change
noticeablo in the prices paid for bulls
calves and stags but it was evident that
packers did not care for the commoner
kinds and as a result they moved very
slowly Stockcrs and feeders were in
light supply but at the same time thero
were fully as many of the common kinds
as were wanted
Hogs There were not quite as many
hogs on sale as yesterday but still re
ceipts wero fairly liberal The market
was rather slow in opening as buyers
and sellers could not agree on terms As
has been the case for some time past the
best heavy hogs wero bought up first this
morning and prices ranged strong to 5c
or 10c higher than yesterday

Hester Mo Dec 1C An unusual
case which has recently come to light
here Is exciting the keenest interest
among medical men Mrs Ellenor
Guardhouse suffered for over forty
years with Sciatic Rheumatism so se
verely and so constantly that her case
has been regarded as chronic and ab
solutely incurable At times tho pain
Was almost unbearable and she could
not rest day or night
Some months ago she was induced to
try Dodds Kidney Pills a remedy re
cently introduced in this neighborhood
The immediate results were magical
and she continued till she had taken
eight boxes and now she declares she
has not an ache or pain left She be
lieves that she is completely and per
manently cured and as she has not
used tbe pills for some months and is
to day in the best of health tho doctors
who were at first skeptical are amazed
The man who earns his first thou
sand dollars always looks up to it with
