Letter From Lethbridge, N. W. T. (Fr mt the Norwth Rrgistrr.) The following extract from a letter- dsied April 29thâ€"lrom Mr. H. T. Squires, Lethbridge, N. W '1‘., formerly a rc<ideat of Nora-nod, to his brother, James L., will be found to contain intr- "fling information relative to that sec- tion of the Northwest :â€" As I have told you before. this winter has been the mildcst that l have Seen in all my life. Ido not think we have had twelve days that we could call cold In one of the has issues of the Rrgt'sler I saw a reference to grasslmppcrs hr in: found. Well, lam sure there has not been a month this winter that they in “.e not been skipping around here. The weather last truck was very fine. Sun- dny Inn! was beautilul until Iligltl, wh it rain began to fall, Continuing with Ctlltl winds all day Monday until about five n'olouk in the evening, then it Came on to snow, with stronger winds, and b- fore long it was a real North-West blizzard, which continued that night and all the next day. I nert-r say unyihiuu like it before and never want to auaiu. The whole prairie looked as though a thick it, so thick that you Could not see tin- ncxt house, only a matter of 50 yards away, the cold being intense the whole titne. Early on Tuesday morning I went to feed my hens but could not open the door, there being a small crevice in the door not more titan one~sixtecnth at an inch, but which was enough for the suow to get in and entirely (id the hen house frotu the ground to the roof, with the exception of afoot square in one corner, in which the hens were all had- dled together. To open the door was im- possible. I have a skylight in the roof I opened that and threw in some fer-d. then closed it. buttoned it tight and bat-, toned the door by shovelling snow against it. and there they had to remain until the following morning. when to my surprise I tound them all right. I had to get through the skylight to open the door. I ,came very near being lrozen while working.’ at the hen house. Indeed, I had to run to the house to gut. warmed and put on more clothing. I am afraid that there will be u lot of people. frozen 'to death. The loss in horses and cattle We have no large ranches close to us, but lots of men with cattle and horses, from 2 and 3 up to 150, and they have all lost more or less in the storm. I think’ the men with only a few cattle are more careful than those who have latge herds. A neigh. her of coins had 8 horses than in a bunch and others have 2 and 3 that they know of, with more that are missing. The fate of these is unknown, but it is expected they are lost. Our next door neighbor has had an Indian pony frozen :to death only a few feetâ€"-well about 200 feetâ€"from our door, and mind you. Mâ€" _______.____â€"â€"â€"-â€"_.. it takes not a little to freeze an Indian , horse, used as they are to all kinds oi The same. party had a cow which shared the same fate, and two more that have not been seen since Mon- day, and this is Friday. We can vouch for sotnrthing like twenty dead within a radius of a mile from our house, and circumstances point to a much larger number. The settlers llll say that it is the worst storm since the country has been settled. There have been blizzards that have been more intensely cold while they lasted, but they Only lasted two or three hours.- This one continurd without a break for thirty hours at the least. I have read of blizzards. but I know something more about them now than merely reading ofthcm. It [were asked what a blizzard was I should say that it was all the wind and stinging biting, freezing and Cold of, I don't know how many winters, all condensed into a few hours, with all the snow thrown in. As I sat and looked tin-ouch the windows I pitied anythinLr that was out in it. Well. I guess you will be as tired of this blizzard letter as I was oi the blizzard itself. Hoping that all are well with you, and thankful that we are till safe in the house. [shall say good- bye. Youraafi'ectim-atciy, ll. '1‘. Squms. I’.

The Royal Canadian offers the hilt wing advantages over the London Mutual : 1. It's building worth $1200 is insured for say $l000, the lloyul Canadian is oblig~ ed to pay stonn, ifa loss occurs. in >ttch a. case the London Mutual isobligcd to pay only two thirds of the cash value, or $8o0. ‘2. lfa horse worth $90 is killed in the fields by lightning, the Royal Canadian il obliged to pay $90. The London Mutual pays only" $60. 3. Fora cow worth $30 killed by light- ning the Royal Canadian pays Sit-t. The London Mutual pays only $130. For other animals the Royal Cttntttliau pays the full value. The London Mutual pays not moro than $5, no matter how valuable the nnimtl may be. 4. 1n the Royal Canadian animals an insured against lightning while : t pasture anywhere. in the London Mutual they an insured while posturing on the premises of the insured only. 5. When articles are insured specifically- such as musical instruments. the lloyal‘ Canadian is obliged to pay the full amount insured up to the cash value of the article. The London Mutual pays only two third of the cash value, no matter what the ll- surance may be. 6 . When “ordinary contents ” of out buildings are insured by the Royal Canadian am. implements are included. in the Lon» don Mutual only one reaper undone mower are included, no matter how good other: may be. 7. When the outbuildings are not joined to each other the Royal Canadian insures under one sum the "ordinary contents " oi ttll building not (at oil‘hyu distance grem- cr than it! it., the same as if the contents were all under one roof. The London Mn- tual rcquiresn Separate sum on the con- tents of cut-h building, if the distance in more than 12 ft. This is a very important difference in many cases. 8 In the Royal Canadian it is a part of the contract that standard STEAM TilliESliEHl may be used without a special permit and without any restriction as to the distance from stacks or buildings, caretakers, paill. of water, kind of fuel or dirt-Clint] of tbn~ wind. Many of the policy holders in th- London Mutual were obliged to run their own risk while threshing last season, bI- cause it was found to be impmsihlc to eon-~- ply with the conditions of their pet-mill! When a farmer pays for insurance he should secure a policy which will hold hint sun when it is most required. 9. The Royal Canadian is obliged to par its losses within sixty days and usuulfy takes much less. The London llintual need. not pay for ninety days, and since it how become so lutrd up as to be obliged to borâ€" row money lnrgely, it usually takes about the full time allowed. 10. The Royal Canadian policy is subject to the stututorv conditions only. It has none of the numerous variations against the policy-holder printed in red ink on the back of the London Mutual policy. ll. As to security, the. inspector of inst!» rance reports that the Royal (.hilllltlltill has $202,758, the amount he estimates to be necessary to enable the company to carry out all its engagements with its policy ltolders. Besides this he reports that it has to the good the $ititi,04:0 cnpitnl paid it: cash by the shareholders, and a net surplus $i l7,b’i"t' making in all a total L‘llrlt sut'plul of £5l7,6tt7 to protect its policy-linden against unexpected contingencies. In tid- diliott to these cash items it has n subscrib- etl capital of $Ioo,noo not called up Ite- garding the security of the London Mutual the inspector reports that the amount of unearned premium it should have t'll hand is $290,3I0. To make up this ntnnuntil cash a second call would have to be mud. on the pnminm notes for a large amount, lt-uving a sutplus of only $743218, own if there were no bad debts, and this surplus is made up wholly of the unpaid bnlnttoo of pr mittm notes already heavily lt~',~’t’i~‘Scd. The Company reports the losses adjusted but unpaid at. the close of the year at $76,- 387, bttt the Inspector of Insntnttt-e illldl that the littI-ilily for unpaid Ittsnt‘Sill th‘c end of the year was $2o,286. The cn.~h on hnntlto pay these losses only amounted to $13.91 1. in View of the foregoing fat-is funncu will have u') diilit'ully in deciding as to the company in which they should be insured.
