PLHA8ED WITH ALBEnTA. An Excellent Itcport from Wisconsin nnd Mlnnenuta The opinion of five delegates from Minnesota nnd Wisconsin , published by the Edmonton Bulletin over their names is very complimentary to Northern " Alberta. The report says : "Wo must say with all sincerity that driving all over the country for six days , wo have not found ono settler who was not more than pleased with the country and Us productions , and will not return to the land ho left. Wo have seen people hero from all parts of the states and all doing well. Wo met a Dakota farmer by the name of McLean , who has Informed us that ho ha& raised more grain hero In thrco years than ho did In thirteen where ho came from , on half as much ground. We have seen a number of others , both men and women , and all speak in the same strain about Alberta. They all look well and contented ; oven the chil dren are happy. In our drive over the country , In passing the countless school houses wo could only see hap piness in the faces of the llttlo ones. Wo noticed them all well dressed equal If not better than the same class of children In the state of Minnesota. The wheat that is raised hero Is just beautiful , the kernel full and plump and mns well bo termed golden grain , yielding 30 to 55 bushels to the acre. This statement Is not from ono farmer but from hundreds who tell the same tale. Oats yield from 70 to 100 bushels to the aero , barley from 40 to GO bush els and potatoes from 300 to100 bush els to the acre. Wo have taken par ticular notice of the climate in regard to the difference between this coun try and our own. When we left Ada , Minnesota , wo were In the midst of a real Dakota blizzard. When wo ar rived at Edmonton wo found the people ple on the streets still wearing sum mer clothing , no mittens on their hands and far less use for thorn. The country is simply more than wo ever dreamed of. The printed matter sent out by the government does not half tell of the grand country In Alberta , open -for millions of people to make beautiful homes for themselves. Too much can not be said in praise. It Is all and more than the greatest eulogist ever thought of giving to the public. Wo saw cattle and horses In herds grazing on the prairie like In summer time all sleek and fat. We were Informed by several farmers that most of the stock run out all winter. Wo also found the market extra good hero for beef and pork. Hogs fetch 4 cents live weight. A three-year- old steer will bring from $40 to $45 right from * he prairie. Coal and wotxl are here In abundance. Coal Is sold In the town of Edmonton for $2 per ton and farmers can secure coal at the mines themselves for 75 cents per load. Deforo closing wo say to you one and all , come to Alberta , where there are homes for millions and a promise for something to lay by for nn old age. Wo are well satisfied with this country and as evidence have each bought a half section of C. P. R. land In township 35 , range 21 west of the 4th Initial meridian , and will return next spring to reside. Hoping this may be of some benefit to the over burdened farmers of tlio United States. " Sent by Floyd Dean , son of E. S. Dean of Deanville , Mich. , who Is now In Alberta , and has taken up ICO acres there. II. & O. Now Stool Kulls. The recent purchase of 28,000 tons of 85-pound steel rails by the Balti more & Ohio Railroad brings the total amount of rail bought since March 1 , 1890 , up to 115,300 tons , enough to relay 870 miles of track. Of the new rail ordered eight thousand tons Is to be laid on the lines west of the Ohio river , and twenty thousand tons Is to be used as follows : Forty-four miles on the Philadelphia division , 11 miles on the Second division , 13 miles on the Third division , 30 miles on the Fourth division , 21 miles on the Fifth division , 10 miles on the Connellsvlllo division and 21 miles on the Pittsburg division. Much of the rail that will be taken up Is still good enough to be relaid on branches where traffic Is not heavy. The Southwestern divi sion , between Parkersburg and St. Louis , will have forty thousand tona of rail to lay this spring.

The resi dents of that entire section are fightIng - Ing the flames , but a strong wind is driving the fire , and all efforts to con trol It have failed.

It is the one perfect strengthening laxative , CLEANSING THE SYSTEM EFFECTUALLY DISPELLING COLDS AND HEADACHES , PREVENTING FEVERS , OVERCOMING HABITUAL CONSTIPATION PERMANENTLY. Its perfect freedom from every objectionable quality and substance , and its acting on the kidneys , liver and bowels , gently yet promptly , without weakening or irritating them , make it the ideal laxative. In the process of manufacturing figs are used , as they are pleasant to the taste , but THE MEDICINAL QUALITIES ARE OBTAINED FROM SENNA AND OTHER AROMATIC PLANTS , by a method known to the California Fig Syrup Company only. In order to get its beneficial effects , and to avoid imitations , please remember the full name of the Company printed on the front of every package. Consumers of the choicest products of modern commerce purchase at about the same price that others pay for cheap and worthless imitations. To come into universal demand and to be everywhere considered the best of its class , an article must be capable of satisfying the wants and tastes of the best informed purchasers. The California Fig Syrup Company having met with the highest success in the manufacture and sale of its excellent liquid laxative remedy , SYRUP OP FIGS , it has become important to all to have a knowledge of the Company and its product. The California Fig Syrup Company was organised more than fifteen years ago , for the special purpose of manufacturing and selling a laxative remedy which would be more pleasant to the taste and more beneficial in effect than any other known. The great value of the remedy , as a medicinal agent and of the Company's efforts , is attested by the sale of millions of bottles annually , and by the high approval of most eminent physicians. As the true and genuine remedy named SYRUP OP FIGS is manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Company only , the knowledge of that fact will assist in avoiding the worthless imitations manufactured by other parties.
