DEAR SIir,--A friend has 'given me your name as a good | party to 'write to for information regarding your part of New Ont- ario. if there is any good land open toj settlement i in your part of Ontario ? I have a number of registered dairy cattle, and want if possible to get] into a district where there is grass] to pasture the cattle, and some chance of getting wild hay to help. take care of them until we can raise enough feed on our own place. | There might be two or three of us gO. ; Thanking you in advance, Yours respectfully, W. A. BARRETT If you were to receive such a letter what would you do about it? It would appear to you that all that: is necessary is to reply to the en- quiry and tell of the conditions around our district. The only danger would be that to tell the simple facts would seem to an out- sider like the over-stated accout of an optimistic native anxious t boom his district. But a statement printed woul be more convincing, since a news paper is compelled to use care and Fruitvale, B, C,, : Would you oblige by telling. me indeed, "only to be widely khewn to be {overlooked often do we hear deliberation. before publishing it formation that would induce oth people to go to heavy expense i acting upon it. Bearing these coi siderations in mind, and havin regard to the great outlay involve in transporting stock over such distance, we would say to 'th 'J gentleman from Fruitvale : Bring yeur cattle to Dryden district. Here you will find pasture J unsurpassed on the continent. Here you have your chance to get not wild hay to take care of them for a tinte, but the finest clover hay in quantity only limited by the supply of labor that can be secured to save it, We honestly doubt if the equal of this district can be found between the great lakes and the Pacific coast for the pasturing of cattle. Such growth--fresh and green till the breath of winter shrivels its leaves; abundance of water in every 'direction ; and a' comparative free- don: from flies: and other torments that plague cattle in many districts. A great stretch of farming country sparsely seltled, awaiting taken up by settlers of the most ; | desirable kind. Dryden district has hook rather by setilers in their eager rush (o the better advertised west. But its day is opening out before us. The land is still on that account reasonable in price: How a man remark that his last year's crop was worth as much as he could get for his land ! Lest our friend honid stilt' hes- itate, we would refer him to the agricultural representative of the Ountaario government at Kenora and ask his advice. And we would rest our case on his answer. Any farmer in the distr! ct ho is interested is request- d to write telling what he has got, addressing his letter o Mr W. A. Barrett, Fruit- rale, B.C. ; As You Like It Mrs Brodie McKellar of Calgary is visiting Mrs Crowther. Mrs Ray and Max left on Tuesday for Winnipeg. Mr Edwin, fisherman of Vermillion Bey paid a visit to Dryden this week. Fred Olson of Wabigoon was in town on Tuesday. Mrs H. Davidson and daughter left for Winnipeg on Tuesday morning. Miss Agnes Monty has returned from Fort William on a visit to her Tnhis at Bedworth. The trouble is not so much with the fourteen points as it is with the four-- teen interpretations. German naval officers maintain that their fleet was never defeated. Neither was the Chinese fleet. Scientists have discovered a thrush that dives and swims. 'What is needed is a swallow that will kick. Just as we seemed to be heading straight for the haven of peace, we find it is about fourteen points to the star- board. Mr A. Barrett of C.P.R.
