AN INHERITANCE IN WESTERN CANADA
Indian lifcscrvatlons and Other Now DI
trlcts to Bo Opened Up XI1L1 Year
In the Groat Saskatchewan Valley and the
Fertile Plains of Assiniboia
To the Editor Dear Sir The past
three or four years have demonstrated
to a Jarge number of Americans the
value of the grain growing and ranch
ing lands of Western Canada Tens of
thousands have taken advantage or
the offer made by the Canadian gov
ernment as well as of the exceedingly
Jow prices asked for lands by the rail
way colonization and other compan
ies The experience of those who have
been settled there for some little time
is of a highly gratifying character So
much so that the Canadian govern
ment who has control of the immigra
tion into Western Canada has decid
ed to open up some new districts this
year in the well known Saskatchewan
Valley and also in the fertile plains of
Assiniboia These Districts are prob
ably the most productive in the entire
West and in close touch to largely set
tled communities as well as being
situated on some of the most import
ant lines of railway They are within
easy reach of markets schools church
es and other social advantages In
some of these districts lands may be
homesteaded as well as purchased out
right at very low prices Now as to
what can be done on these lands The
evidence of the settlers in the neigh
borhood of the lands now about to be
opened for settlement some of them
being located in one of the best Indian
Reservations goes to show that the
very best results have followed even
most indifferent methods Cases are
given where farmers having gone
there with most limited means barely
enough to erect a small house and
break up a little land have in three
or four years time become prosperous
all debts paid and money in the bank
The soil in the Districts mentioned
Assiniboia and Saskatchewan is a rich
black loam fifteen Inches to three feet
deep As a settler says It appears
like the accumulation of decayed vege
tation and ashes for centuries trie
sub soil is a stiff putty clay On
this soil it is possible to raise from 40
to 50 bushels of wheat to the acre oats
75 to 100 bushels all of which bring
good prices at the local market For
mixed farming these new districts are
probably among the best in Western
Canada Stock fatten easily on the
wild grasses Hay is plentiful and
prices splendid Another settler writ
ing to a friend in Iowa says The
climate is all that could be desired
plenty of rainfall in summer with no
hot dry winds On the 28th of Sep
tember I saw prairie flowers in full
bloom sweet corn potato and tomato
vines that had not been touched a par
ticle with frost and the winters are
milder than those in the State from
which I came After the holidays the
winter sets in clear and cold with
plenty of snow for good sleighing no
high winds or blizzards are known
Horses live out all winter and pick
their own living while cattle live all
winter In open sheds and around the
hay ricks Wheat oats and barley are
the principal grain crops Potatoes
- and all other roots and vegetables do
well the yield being enormous as
compared to those in the States Wild
fruits such as strawberries raspber
ries cranberries gooseberries and all
varieties of currants yield in abund
ance As a reader of your valuable pa
per for a number of years I feel that
I should inform you of the progress
and advancement being made in Can
ada within the past few years and the
inducements and advantages that will
follow settlement In Western Canada
Those who desire information can do
as I did and apply to any Agent of
the Canadian Government whose
name I see appears in advertisements
appearing elsewhere in the columns of
your paper and when writing ask par
ticularly about the Saskatchewan Val
ley or Assiniboia Districts
Yours truly

Hall Insurance
From the reports filed in the in
surance department of the state the
past two years it would- seem as
though this class of insurance is
one of the most important classes
carried in the state of Nebraska One
of these hail companies alone has paid
the enormous sum of 510505342 in
losses during the past two seasons No
other insurance company in the state
has paid such a large sum for losses as
this one hail insurance company The
management of this company lias been
more economical than is usually the
ease with insurance companies Other
wise it would not have been possible
to pay such a large sum for losses
While several hail insurance com
panies have ceased to do business the
past two years on account of not pay
ing losses the United Mutual Hail
Insurance Association of Lincoln the
one above referred to stands out alone
with the proud record of which the
officers of any insurance company
could feel proud having paid 42000
more for losses than was paid by all
the other hail insurance companies
combined in the state We can there
fore recommend the United Mutual
of Lincoln to anyone wishing good
protection to his growing crops or to
any agent wishing to write hail in
surance
A friends faults may be noticed
but not blamed
He who would save should begin

Peruna is the womans friend every

ever used Peruna for any catarrhal de

pensable in her household
Letter From Women
Every day we receive letters from
women like the following Women who
have tried doctors and failed women
who have tried Peruna and were
cured
Miss Katie Klein 6125 Bartmerave

Peruna has done me more good for
catarrh than the best doctors could I
had catarrh so bad but after taking
Peruna it is entirely gone and I feel
like a different person
Miss Anna PrescottK Letter
Miss Anna Prescott in a letter from
216 South Seventh street Minneapolis
Minn writes
am sincerely grateful for the
relief I have found from the use of Pe
runa I was completely used up last
fall my appetite had failed and I felt
weak and tired all the time Aly drug
gist advised me to try Peruna and the
relief I experienced after taking one
bottle was truly wonderful
J continued its use for five weeks
and am glad to say that my complete
restoration to health was a happy
surprise to myself as well as to my
friends Anna Prescott
A constant drain of nervous vitality
depleting the whole nervous system
causes the mucous membrane surfaces
to suffer accordingly This is the con
dition called systemic catarrh It very
nearly resembles and there is really no
practical difference between this con
dition and the condition known as neu
rasthenia or nervous prostration
Peruna will be found to effect an
immediate and lasting cure in all cases
of systemic catarrh It acts quickly
and beneficially on the diseased mu
cous membranes and with healthy
mucous membranes the catarrh can no
longer exist
Peruna a True Friend to Women
Mrs F J Lynch writes the follow
ing from 324 S Division street Grand
Rapids Mich
The Peruna Medicine Co Columbus O
Gentlemen I earnestly recommend
Peruna to any suffering woman as it
cures quickly Last year I had a most
persistent cough which nothing seemed
to cure Two bottles of Peruna did
more for me than all the doctors
seemed to do In a couple of weeks I
found myself in excellent health and
have been enjoying it ever since
Hence I look on Peruna as a true
friend to women Mrs F J Lynch
Peruna is equally efficacious in cur
ing catarrh of the throat as in curing
systemic catarrh or catarrh of the
stomach Catarrh is essentially the
same wherever located Peruna cures
catarrh

Diseased nerves are traceable direct
ly to poor digestion and poor diges
tion is directly traceable to catarrh
With the slightest catarrh of the stom
ach no one can have good digestion
Very few of the many women who
have catarrh of the stomach suspecft
what their real trouble is They know
they belch after meals have sour stom
ach a sensation of weight or heavl l
ness a fullness irregular appetite
drowsiness gnawing empty sensations
occasional pain they all know this
but they do not know that their trouble
is catarrh of the stomach If they didr
they would take Peruna J
Peruna cures catarrh wherever lo-
cated As soon as Peruna removes
catarrh from the stomach the diges
tion becomes good appetite regular
nerves strong and trouble vanishes
Peruna strengthens weak nerves not
by temporarily stimulating them but
by removing the cause of weak nerveai
poor digestion This is the onlyj
cure that lasts Remove the causeij
Nature will do the rest Peruna re-
moves the cause j
