BUT THEY DIDN’T GO.

Although Tuesday was the date for the Alberta, Canada, land investors’ to start on their Pullman car trip to view the wonderous country that U. B. Kellogg et al had orally described to them, none of the Rensselaer investors made any start nor was there any fine Pullman car set off here for their use. The report that “Strick” started on the trip Monday was a mistake. He merely went to Chicago to investigate a saloon proposition in the Windy City, that is a tangible reality and promised better returns than does now the Canadian land scheme.
