Not but that there has been great dist-our- 1agonient: I remembet a series of dry years; I remember hall storms and frosts ', I remember people losing every- thing they had and were so hard up in some cases that thev could not get out of the country. Yet. it was a good, thing for them they could not for good _ years came and now all seem to be pros- i perous. Speaking to a certain erson l the other day about the 'rliG'dul"s"' of the recurring of dry seasons, she said. "dry seasons cant butt the people here again to any great extent. Then thev were only beginning. now all are on their feet and the worst thing a few dry seasons would do would be to compel the people to keep fewer cattle." I find, however. that people as a rule dont live alone to any greater extent, than they do in the East. When I set- i tied as ordained miasionary here 13 yrs. i ago. I found that most of the men were bachelors, living all "lone-ladies being tew and far between.

But now there is a different condition of things: The poor bachelor’s ranks have been sadly thinned out. There have been so many desenions that hardly any are left now. Even some who were unanimously supposed to be unimpressionahle to the strongest charms of the opposnte sex. have in due course of time yielded like their breth- ren in other places. Still we are not to regret this change, for today. what wu largely absent then, viz: home life with its elevating influences, is making its, own impression on the whole distrlct. i 'Rev.

Such extensive tracts of land. necessary fol ranching purposes, having been taken up by the settlers, you are not liable to be disturbed by many callers. You are lett largely to yourself. to do as you think fir and to think as you please. No hard and fast conditions of any kind are imposed; you almost imagine yourself as free as the birds that tti,f, round about you. Removed for a lilt e while from the scene of your. activities, and of your worries and of your cares. you can appreciate the sentiment of the poet tt I love not man the less. hut nature more," And then if you are really a lover of nature, the delights which she furnishes will compel the hours to pass by too speedily. Here you can enjoy her to your heart's content. for flu“ tind her in er primeval dgarb, so tri ingly affected I by the ban of man. The Rocky's coveted by the everlasting snows are seen 40 or GO miles away in their proud, majestic grandeur. The foot hills lying by their side present, especially at this season of the year, a most picturesque appearance. As far as the eye ctgttl reach and from certain points it reaches l 100 miles, something different is to be seen wherever you look. The prime also is interesting, notwithstanding the monotonous character that is usually] ascribed to it. Here it is not fiat as farther east, but somewhat hilly. They call it "rolling prairie." The hills are large and in sortie cases extend many miles yet the slope is so gentle that _ teams can be driven up and down in " most any place. Below are valleys large and small: In fact there is not much sameness about the prairie here, but rather does it, furnish a most lc- lightful scene, with its richness of verdure. its clumps of poplar and cotton wood, its ponds ind 1aketi--the sporting places of countless game. as well as with its bunches of cattle and horses, wild as the beads of the tllase--the raucher's treasures which are to be seen on all sides, and the Bow River. almost level with its banks and probably five times its ordinal y size. on account of the melting of snow on mountains, has an enjoyable interest to the onlooker: And the sunset.' what pen can desclibe it: surely not mine for here it is helpless t what painter can ei er faintly represent itl none.
