Earl Bruner Returns From Fort Reeve, Sask, Canada.

Earl Bruner returned several days ago from Port Reeve, Sask., Canada, whera/ne had been for about a year and a half. He stopped for about a month at Hamilton, N. Dak., On his way home. He was buying grain in Oanada for the Central Elevator Co., but there was a poor crop in Saskatchewan the past/y®» r and conditions generally were bad. The gar situation is also affecting business adversely in that- country. The reservists had all been called and two contingents of volunteers, about 21,000 in all, had gone to fight with the allies. Earl understood that most of them were still in training and had not reached the front. At Hamilton, N. Dak., where several Jasper county people went a few years ago, there are no Jasperites left. The country there did not prove very good to any ol them. Tom Brusnahan, who went there, has been living for some time at Backoo, but is soon to move to Hampden, wjjere his son, Harry, has been running a store and Tom will now take the store and his son Ed, will run it. Earl expects to remain here for the remainder of the winter, at least. . * u>— - - ■ -
