IS ALL Delegates representing a number of neighboring farmers in Clay county, Minn., who visited the Edmonton dis trict of western Canuda last summer arc evidently very well satisfied with the result of their trip. They think bo well of the country that, In addition to the prhilege of obtaining a free home stead of 100 acres of land, they have also purchased land. In a recent inter view on the subject, Messrs. C. E. and A. Hughes, of linrnesvillc, Clay county, Btiy: "We are well pleased with western Canada. It is far ahead of what we expected. As for the crops, we have never seen nnything tlint can compete with them. We hnvc lived in Minne sota and have farmed some of what tlicy count the best lands in the Red Kivor valley for ten years, and have done very well in that part of the country, nnd have farms there nt pres ent free of nil encumbrance, but be lieve that this country (western Can ada) is so much better that we have bought from the Canadian Pacific Rail way company one section of land northeast of Edmonton, in the Denver Hill district. We have traveled through Hint part of the country, nnd have seen the grain In the grnnnrlcs and the amount of lnnd Hint it was taken oil", nnd find that they have grown as much as 50 bushels nnd over to the acre, and they say that this has not been a good year, nnd very little if any grain hns been touched by the frost. Hay seems to be plentiful, nnd if you wisli to put up log buildings you can get the logs within a few miles. Conl can be had at the mines for 75 cents per ton, or you can dig it yourself. Nearly all kinds of garden truck can be grown in abun dance. We find everything thnt can he grown in good demand. The farmers tell us that they can get four nnd a half live weight per hundred for hogs, and for three-year-old steers from $50 to $00 per head, providing they are good. We will move into thnt part of the country next summer. All the peo ple in that part of the country seem sat isfied, and we do not see nny renson why; they should not be so." Messrs. Hughe? also stated that they would be very glad to afTord anyone de siring particulars about the country they had visited the fullest informa tion, on receiving inquiries at Rnrnes ville, Clay county, before the first of June next, when it is understood they propose to return to the Edmonton dis trict.

I've done my duty. 1 wrote and published a card calling their at tention to whither they are dtifting, and asking them please not to do so, and now, if they pcisist, it's their own fault.
