I. may say some oats are turn- ing a little, although very little. Hay! has been .cut, as it rains about ev- ery other day lately, if not every day, and it will likely be August lst before haying will be in full blast, owing to the wet weather. Farm lands are advancing in price lately. Mr. Hughey McPhee, formerly of Orillia, sold 5 quarters of land unâ€" broken or unimproved, 800 acres for forty thousand dollars, an average price of $50 per acre. It is located nine miles of the city limits, or 12 miles from the centre of the city of Edmonton. Land that was oflered at $50 per acre three years ago un- umprored, is today selling at $100 one that has matured properly. Still the frosted oats do not grow, and sometimes will sprout, and die down. In those cases quite a lot of was sown the second time. NEWS? LERTER FROM SUNNY ALBERTA RGBT.

The re- cent census shows a population of about fiity-two thousand, or a little over. I may also state the building permits taken out in June amount- ed to two million dollars and each year shows a large increase over the previous one. I may say there are at the present time a. large number of big buildings, some steel and some of brick and stone under con- struction, as well as large and small residences and other smaller stores being erected in all parts of the city. People who first come west can not understand why prices are adVancing so, and wonder what there is to keep it up. If they saw the produce of hay, grain, horses, cattle, hogs, sheep, and poultry, also the forest produce of coal, marl, sand stone, and other valuable products, and a very small amount still developed, they would then see the west is on- ly in its infancy. per acre.
