WHAT WE HEAR FROM ASSINIBOIA, WESTERN CANADA.

“Don't Think of Coming, bnt Come." To the Editor—The above Is the emphatic manner In which a friend in Vorkiea write* to * fticad n car Ot. Paul, Minnesota, and It Is pretty nearly right, too, when the advantages that Western Canada offers to those seeking homes are considered. The Asslnlbola district is one of the best. The writer from whose letter we Quote goes on to say: “John, If you miss this chance you are foolish, for you can get out cheaper when there are so many coming, and I would not tell you to come if I thought yon could not do well, and if you don’t come In the spring you will have to go away back, lor you do not want to tbink that there Is no one living out here but us. I saw nicer buildings ont here than 1 ever 6aw before, and if the country was no good what would they want them for? John, if you sold everything yon have and came ont here you would be worth more than ever you were before, and if yon can bring your team, yon can get anything you want on tick and when they do that with strangers they are not afraid they can’t make enough to pay for it. I saw as nice wheat as I ever saw In my life, and if they could not grow grain what would the flour mill be for? And It cost $20,000." Now, this was what Mr. Thomas Fltspatrick of Yorkton, Asslnlbola, Western Canada, wrote to a friend. There will be opened up this summer new districts in Saskatchewan and Assinibola, at low prices, particulars of which can be bad of any agent of the Government of the Dominion of Canada, whose advertisement appears elsewhere in the columns of your paper. Yours truly,

AN OLD READER.
