A Letter From William
Erickson.
Since writing from Minneapolis
,
on the 21st , I came on to Winne-
peg , Canada < : , remaining there a
day and findiisg it a beautiful city
of about 120,000 inhabitants , with
streets about twice as wide as
those we have at home. . I was
particularly , struck with their
cleanliness.
My next sto'p was at Carberry.
Manitoba , a prosperoous little
city in a flourishing farming com-
munity. The land looked gohd to
me and I was buncoed for three-
quarters of a section. I saw one
quarter which laid close [ into the
town which was sold for 18,000 ,
and another half section which
brought 36000. . My land is four
miles out from the town.
Goingon from Carberry , my
'next stop was at Brandon , a city
of 20,000 , with electric lights and
street cars. I left Brandon : on
Tuesday morning in a snowstorm ,
with the snow lying about 18 inch-
es deep , on the ground. The snow
kept getting less and less , and by
the time we reached Moose Jaw ,
in Saskatchewan Province , we
were out of the snow entirely and
had struck a rain storm.
Moose Jaw is a great farming : '
community and - - has about 20,000
people. From here west the " cli-
mate kept getting milder until I .
reached the great natural gas city i
of MedicineHat : ! in sunny Alberta. : i
There the thermometer was up to
48 and I found I was clear out of
the snow belt with reports that
farmers were starting to disc just
south of here. Medicine Hat owns
the gas field which it operates as a
municipal franchise , selling the
product at five cents per thousand
cubic feet. All the citizens use it
in their houses. for lighting and
heat. There are three big ; brick
plants here and the largest sewer
pipe factory in Canada who use
the gas extravagantly to burn
their product. All are operated
by American capital and I found
yankees growing on every bush
about the city. This bright , little
city owns its own water works
and sewerage system and is as up-
to-date a place as you could wish
to see. One thing that impressed
me was that no preparations were
made for winter amongst the
ranchers. They put up no hay
/
for winter feeding and let their
cattle and horses remain in the
open. There are no sheds. , I
learn that Medicine Hat has been
for years the center of the great-
est cattle and horse raising district
in Canada and the ranchers have
been trying to hold the farmers
out. But the Americans have now
secured quite a hold o.n the farm
lands and the wheat crop this .year ,
averaged between 30 and 40 bush-
els per acre , with oats 40 to 50.
Land runs in price from § S to
$20 per acre , according to nearness
to railway. Down home when we
got bad weather we blamed it on
Medicine Hat , but if we got more
of the Medicine Hat stuff we would
be a great deal better off. The
fine climate attracts lots of people
to this . place. The folks from
down our way who have' came ' up
here say it is the finest ever and
Professor CampbelJ of Lincoln is
running a demonstration farm for
the government , a mile 3 c or so out
of town. .
From here I expe'ct , to go on to .
Calgary and. talp a' look at the
rnn 'itrb1tntl. thfte ! , and tfofen I will ,
