THE KENTUCKIAN WAS PLEASED.

*• Secured a Good Half-Section la, / Central Canada. It is not only from Kentucky, but from thirty-five to forty different States that there conies the expression of satisfaction from those who have taken up lands in Central Canada as a free homestead or have purchased lands. «» Mr. E. K. Bell, of Frankfort, Kentucky, writes to a Canadian government official, and says: “I have just returned from Alberta, overjoyed with my trip. Your literature was very flattering, but not half what I found it. I bought a half section between Calgary and Edmonton, one mile from railroad, near a good town. This is the best country I ever saw or ever expect to see. I will go in the spring and get. to work on my place. I think it is the coming country of the world.” Some of the papers describe the settling of the Canadian West as “becoming a fever with a great many people. The lure of its golden promises is creeping into their hearts and many are they who are answering the call of that unsettled territory.” This paper editorially cautions its readers to exercise care and thought before ifioving to a distant country. This would be h wise precaution, and is exactly what the Canadian officials ask. The success of the settler who has made Canada his home for years is the best evidence that can be offered. And of the large number of Americans who have made their homes in Canada, very few have returned. All are satisfied.
