"Evetything points to a far larger crop than last year; good reports are | vert all along the line." This was the encouraging 'piece of news given this morning to a Whig representative by D. A. Cays, the well- known real estate agent, who, in company with Mrs. Cays, has just returned from a six weeks' trip to the west, Mr. Cays made his tour just while all the farmers were busy at their work, and all the reports given him were of an encourdging nature. | <I was able to find out one thing that I desired to know very much," said Mr Cays, "and that was why #0 many Americans-have been going out there and buying up land. The 'Yeason is this: In Washington and North Dakota I found that the wheat grown there was not at all up to the standard, and this readily explains why the American people have been flocking to the great North-West to secure land, We have the finest land, the very best for growing pur- poses, and we have no reason what- ever to express any fear for the ture of this part of the country. 1s going 'ahead, and at a fast rate. Asked concefning the reports about | s0 many people being out of work at Winnipeg Mr. Cays said that this was true, but it" could not be . won- dered ot when there were thousands of people coming into the city every day. There was plenty of work for "these people when they got scattered around in the wheat fields, but there were delays that could not. be avoided. Mr. and Mrs. Gays' trip proved a most | enjoyable: ong 'hey went through 16 Winnipeg and Calgary, then _-an to the coast, visiting at Vanéouver, where they took a steamer for Victoria. They also visited Seattle, St. Paul, 'Chicago, Minnea-~ polis and Detroit. "Seattle is 'a beautiful city hummer," said Mr Cays, Paul and Minneapolis are two beauti- ful "eities Chicago, of course, the same biasy old pldee! mnd Detroit is going ahelid, a great deal build- ing going 'on there." Mr. Cays also had a good word to say about the? progress. of all the other big vities he visited, No matter where a may stray he will run across person from his home town and this was the cige with Mr. Cays..
