1 Ft I a h i V It- JL V 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 Old Reader r A New Yankee Industry The Massachusetts Frog Company has just been incorporated in Maine with a capital of 5000 its object be ing declared in the application to be to buy sell breed and import frogs and like animals 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 with the mouth 1 COLLDE 1 A ST 1 One Man

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
