Medaryville Men Enjoyed Visit To Saskatchewan Wheat Country.

Theodore Phillips, who was trustee of Gillam township a few years ago and who resigned to move away on account of bis wife's poor health, was a Rensselaer visitor over night. He returned to Gillam township three years ago. Mr. Phillips recently went to the wheat raising Saskatchewan, Canada, country, in company with J. R, Guild, Charles Guild ahd John Bush, all of Medaryville. J. R. Guild has a pon-in-Jdw named William Warren who owns 480 acres of land near Herbert, Sask., and they went to his farm and made a general prospecting trip through the best wheat belt iu Canada. Mr. Warren paid $2,500 for a quarter section up there and before he left there with Mr. Phillips on the return trip he was offered $4,000 for it. Mr. Phillips was very much pleased and states that some of the cities in that part of Canada are the finest he has ever seen. He did not make an investment but may do so yet He is convinced that there is a great opportunity there for money making. Mr. Phillips is a son-in-law of J. R. Carr, the old gentleman who bought a small tract of land just north of Harvey Grant’s residence and built a small residence thereon. Mr. Carr has been visited for the past few weeks by his daughter, Mrs. O. K. Leigh, of Hutchinson, Kansas, who left for her home this morning.
