To tbt Editor, Dear Sir: Tho part
three er (our years bave demonstrated
to a large number of Americans the
Talue of the grain-growing and ranch
ing lands of Western Canada. Tens of
thousands- nave taken advantage 01
the offer made by the Canadian gov
ernment as well as of the exceedingly
low 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
Vaiiey and also in the fertile plains of
Asslniboia, 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
ltuated 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
bomesteaded as well as purchased out-
Tight 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
feeing located in one of the best ladlan
'Reservations) goes to show that the
verv heat 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,
Asslniboia and Saskatchewan, Is a rich
black loam, fifteen inches to three feet
deep. As a settler says, "It appears
Hike the accumulation of decayed vege
tatlon and ashes for centuries (tn
sub-soil is a stiff, putty clay)." On
this soil It Is possible to raise from 40
to 60 bushels of wheat to the acre, oats
75 to 100 bushels, all of which bring
ood 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 bad 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 tne
winter seta in clear and cold, wltn
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
comoared to those in the States. Wild
fruits, such as strawberries, raspber
rles. cranberries, cooseberrles and all
varieties of currants yield in abund
nee. 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 t-an
da 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 or
the Canadian Government, whose
name I see appears in advertisements
appearing elsewhere in the columns of
your paper, and when writing ask par
tlcularly about the Saskatchewan Val
ley or Asslniboia Districts.
Yours truly,
Old Header."

Oreenland la governed in a grand
motherly way by Denmark, but, as it
consists of group of colonies which
would not nnder any circumstances at
tract many tourists or traders no out
sJer complains of the exclusiveness of
the Danish authorities. Trade always
has been and still is" monopolized by
the state and only government vessels
are allowed to sail in Oreenland wa
ters. For foreign travelers also Green
land Is closed country unless the
traveler in Question has beforehand
obtained the rare distinction of ob
taining the permission of the Danish
government. The monopoly of the
trade Is said to protect the Greenland
er from being deceived by unscrupu
lous merchants. The administration
settles a fixed price both for the goods
the Greenlanders purchase and for the
products they sell. In this way all are
treated In the same manner and the
business being carried on by the state
is a guaranty" that the natives are not
Imposed upon. Furthermore, the mem
bers of the administration are enjoin
ed to take care that the natives do not
leave themselves short of produce by
selling more than they can dispense
with, so that they are not destitute of
needful food and clothing when the
slack time arrives. The native Green
lander never has been, neither Is he
now, able to purchase a single drop of
spirits from tho administration. The
exchange of goods between Greenland
and Denmark is as a rule carried on
exclusively by means ot the nine ves
sels belonging to the Greenland Com
panyviz., five brigs, three barks and
a small steamer, naving a wiai
ter of about 2,000 tons net. Several oi
these vessels, which are suitable for
galling through drift Ice, make two
voyages a year, and the steamer as a
rule three voyages. One ot tnem me
brig named the Whale, is nearly iw
years old.

naat two vears it would seem as
though this class of Insurance 1
one of tho moat important classes
carried In the state of Kcbr&aka. One
of these hall companies alone has paid
the enormous sum of 1105,053.43 In
losses during the past two seasons. No
other Insurance company In the slate
has paid such large sum for losses as
this one hail Insurance company. The
manatrement of this company lias been
nan mnnnmical than Is usually the
case with Insurance companies. Other
wise it would not have been possible
to pay such large sum for losses
While several hall Insurance com
nanlaa have ceased to do business the
oast two years on account of not pay
log losses, the United Mutual llail
Insurance Association of Lincoln, tin
one above referred to. stands out alon
with the proud record of which the
officers of any insurance company
oould feel proud, having paid 612,000
more for losses than was paid by nil
the other hall 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

CLOSING YEARS OF LIFE.
Th. Writer. ADoroaehlns 60, Finds Con
solation In the Church.
I have read the Spectator many
years, but I do not remember an ar
ticle having impressed me more than
the one published in your issue of the
loth lnst. on 'The Things Beyond tne
Tomb.' There are abundant reasons
favor of anonymous writing, but
one feels really anxious personally to
thank the writer for this paper, so full
insight and sympathy. I was most
struck with his observations on the
views men take of death. I believe it
to be quite correct that no sane man
would like to live his life over again.
my age (approaching 60) I can, as
it, .were, see the end of my lire ap
proaching. The prospect gives me no
fear. As one grows older the outlook
becomes clearer and calmer. I have
been a doubter, but like my forefath
ers, I can now una consolation in me
services of the church. It Is astonish
ing how the ordinary affairs of life
seem to adapt themselves to your add
ed years. One's pleasures are quieter
but quite as enjoyable. To live In the
lives of your children,, to watch their
progress, the development of their
minds, Is one great source of pleasure.
Then one has music, reading, garden
ing, etc. May I also add that I took
the advice of an old friend some years
ago, who said the two things most
likely to give pleasure in declining life
were to learn wblst and play the vio
loncello. These are simple things and
within the reach of all but the very
poor. The writer of tho article quoted
with approval a verse from one of
Baxter's hymns. There Is, however, a
verse in the same hymn still more ap
propriate to my state of mind:
'If life be long, O rrmW me glad.
The longer to obey;
If short, no laborer Is sad
To end the toilsome day."

Letters 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 Bartmer ave
nue, St. Louis, Mo., writes:
"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 Preseott's Letter.
Miss Anna Prescott, In a letter from
216 South Seventh street, Minneapolis,
Minn., writes:
f am sincerely grateful for the
relief I bave found from the use of Pe
runa, I was completely used up last
tall, my appetite had failed and I felt
weak and tired all the time. My drug
gist advised me to try Peruna and the
relief I experienced after taking one
bottle was truly wonderful.
I continued Its use for five weeks,
and am triad to say that my complete
restoration to health was a happy
surprise to myself as weli aa to my
Mends." Anna Prescott
A constant drain of nerrona 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, ana with healthy
mucous membranes the catarrh can no
longer exist.
Parana a Trna 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 bad a most
persistent cough which nothing seemed
to euro. Two bottles or peruna am
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.
Poruna Is equally efilcaclous in cur
ing catarrh of the throat a3 in curing
systemic catarrh or catarrh ot the
stomach. Catarrh Is essentially the
same wherever located. Peruna cures
catarrh.
Parana Hake Too Feel Like a New
Person.
Miss Mary Coats, a popular young
weman of Appleton, Wis., and presi
dent of the Appleton Young Ladles'
Club, also speaks In glowing terms of
Peruna. A letter recently received from
her by The Peruna Medicine Co., of
Columbus, Ohio, reads as follows:
"I am glad to call the attention of my
friends to Peruna. When that lan
guid, tired feeling comes over you, and
vour food no longer tastes good, and
small annoyances irritate you, Peruna
will make you feel like another person,

Diseased nerves are traceable direct
