FROM ALBERTA, CANADA.
Rsd Dkrr, Alukkta, N. W. T.
"God drew tho toller' eye
Across a land that promised fair,
And, upturned to tho smiling sky,
Its bosom Ho laid bare."
A three months' rosldonce in At
borta, N. W. T.,makos mo think I have
found the country that suits mo, and
the country where a poor man can
make a living, especially if ho has
plenty of money.
Nowhoro in the wido world is tho
grass more luxriant, tho trees greener,
or tho promise of crops bettor, than in
central and northern Alborta, 300 miles
north of tho Montana line. The air is
redolent with tho perfumo of the balm
of Giload trees, spruce trees, the fra
grant posBy willows and soskatoon
bushes, besides thousands of wild flow
era of a scoro of different varieties
tho most boautiful and fragrant of
which is tno wild rose, which blooms
and thrives hero in all its pristino
glory, doubled and many huod, as
James Whitconib Riloy says:
"Lliko 'om causo thoy kind o'
Sort o' make a follorlikojem,
An I tell you whore I find a1'
Bunch out where tho sun kin strike
'em
It alius sets mo thinkin'
O' the ones that used to grow,
An' peepin' thro' tho chinkio'
O' tho cabin, don't you know."
The woathor hero is mostly of the
the delightful kind. Tho wind listetb
rot, consequently it blowoth not; a man
from Nobraska feels liko ho might be
in a new world. A man can actually
light a pipo here at any tlmo without a
bit of Irish blood in him; neither does
he have to have a cover on the pipe
or lay a stone on top of the tobacco to
keep it in tho bowl.
Raint Yes, it rains; not only when
you want it to, but oftimes when you
don't want it to; in fact it rains here
like some of the doctors in Nebraska
take life easy. However, we have no
cyclones, no blizzards, no hot winds
and no volcanic eruptions, but I ean't
say no mud; but mud means crops,
and, as the little boy said about the
preacher, "that's what we are after."
The roads are bad just now they
are "badder" but the time will come
soon when this feats re of Alberta will
be dono away with considerably, as on
the thousands of miles of roads run
ning in every direction scarcely a dol
lar has been expended to make them
better. However the government is
thinking strongly of appropriating a
very large sum sum, probably a million
dollars, to be expended on roads and
bridgos in central and northern Alber
ta, which, together with tho road tax
on land, ought to put us in pretty fair
shape.
The mosquitos Yes, they aro hero,
as Bret Harto said, "of which I am freo
to admit," but so far thoy don't seem
to bo of the cross kind, and I have bnd
only ono or two bites this spring. Thoy
aro not nearly as largo, nor as vicious,
nor as numerous as I havo seen them
in tho lake country of nortwestern
Nebraska or on tho Cimarron river in
Oklahoma. In fact weused to know
what they were lifto in Nebraska in the
early days. I haven't seon any- here
that were over eight inches long,.and
the stories Alec Phillips and D. B.
Spanogle told mo before I came up
about their carrying of! children or
taking pieces out of people and sitting
on the fenco to eat them seem to be
purely mythical.
Speaking of crops here, I will tell
you of a neighbor of mine, a worthy
Briton named Trilfail, who raised last
year 71 good loads of green oats off of
10 acres of laud, tho outs sowed in
Juno. Not so bad, is it?
Tho British government recently
bought of uu elevator firm on this
road, to bo loaded hero and at two
other points north of hero, 500 cars of
oats to bo shipped to Englnud nud
South Africa for cavalry horses, and
every bushel must test 42 pounds or
better. Thoy wanted more, but tho
country was unable to furnish thorn,
having exhausted tho supply. Alberta
oats bring tho highest prico of uny on
tho eastern markets.
We have an abundanco of sunshino
this month and noxt (when it doos
shine), as in this latitude the sun rises
ou the 21st of Juno at twenty minutes
past 4 and sets at 0 o'clock, giving us
nearly sevonteen hours of sunshine
At present we can see to read any kind
of print easy enough by daylight after
10 o'clock at night, nnd just how early
in the morning I am unablo to state
l unuerstand at half past 2 in the
morning. It will bo different in tho
winter.
Prices on everything vary in com
parison with Nobraska. Clothing is
not high, however, and tho necessarioa
of life, such as Hour, sugar, ton, canned
goods and whisky, aro nearly tho samo
us thoro. Coffuo is much higher, cspoc
iully tho roasted coffee.
Gamo and full aro quite plentiful
Thousands of prairie chickons nnd
partridges nud wild ducks in nhund
nnco. Tho ducks nest hero and the
ponds mid lakes aro coverod with tho
little follows now. In tho fish line-
not on the lino aro nice salmon, pike,
pickerel and purch, ns well as tunny
other kinds. This is the closed season
now for botli hunting and fishing, but
n little later ono can go to somo of the
many lakes and buy uico dresbed fish
weighing about two pounds for five or

six cents apioce, which is cheaper than
catchiug thorn, but not so funny unloss
there are too many mosquitos.
West of horo fifty to nighty miles is
plenty of big gamo boar, door and oc
casionally moose.
Names nnd terms of things differ
somowhat from those in uso in Neb
raska. A spring wagon is invariably
called a democrat. I attondod n sate a
short timo ago during which tho auc
tioneer sold a '.'democrat." As ho was
about to knock it off ho said: "Only
seven dollars for this democrat going
or seven dollars! Why, gontloman, a
democrat like that for soven dollars
it's a shame! Sold for soven dollars!
Just than two mon camo around from
behind the barn wiping their mouths,
and one of them remarkod to tho
other: "Seven dollars for a democrat!
Well, well! What would a populist bo
worth up bore?"
Politics, though, aro a little on tho
quiet order hero. Wo had an election
on the 24th of May to select a member
of the territorial legislature. There
wero only two candidates, and, of
course one of them was defeated. I am
not a voter here, but I couldn't help
taking side, though my man was de
feated. A Nebrasca republican knows
how to take defeat, however, and I
didn't mind it much.
One of the greatest drawbacks to
this country is a fatal horso disease
called "swamp fever." It has boon
very disastrous in the last tbreo years,
but seems to bo on tho wane somo now.
Ono man living east of us lost 13,000
wortn oi norses last year irom tno dis
ease. I am not afraid of its affecting
me that bad, but I dread it, "just the
same."
The people here from Wobster coun
ty are all in good spirits nnd doing
well. Mr. Broomfield has bought a
nice farm adjoining the villago of Pen
hold and is improving it very nicely
Mr. Webber yet lives on a rented placo
threo miles east of Red Doer, but will
go to his claim some distance east In
the fall probably. Lloyd Reiglo is with
Mr. Broomfield at Penhold, and Clay
Orchard is 2,000 feet under the ground
in at Michael, British Columbia, whore
be gots good wages and soems to bo
satisfied.
I should liko to seo all tho old
friends and tho alfalfa Holds of Web
ster county onco more, but my desire
to live thero has vanished. Alberta is
good onough for mo.
