From Saskatchewan, Western Canada.

In a letter written from Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, one of the districts of Western Canada, by Henry Lnughlin to Dr. 0. T. Field, of Chase, Michigan, and which appeared in the Reed City (Michigan) Clarion, appeared tn& following: “If any one should ask you how I like It up here, tell them I am perfectly well satisfied, for me It Is Just the place. I fcave as good a piece of land as ever laid out doors. Wouldn’t exchange it for the whole of Lake County, or at least the township of Chase. .“Of course I have not been here very long, but as much of the country as I have seen, It cannot be beat anywhere. We l»Hd as good crops here last fall as I ever saw, and everything gets ripe in good shape. We had as good ripe potatoes as I ever ate in my life. There is no better place for stock on the continent than here. Horses and cattle will do as good running out all winter here as they do where they are fed all winter there. bnjlt me a residence and now all I want Is a wife lo keep house for me. I have some breaking already done on my place, bnt next summer I Intend to have more done, and then I will be ready for business. “We have had a very fine winter so far. It has not been much below zero, If any, excepting about a week In the middle of November. It has been quite cold the post day or two. We are in log shanties, and they are Just muddied up on the outside, and nothing has frozen on the Inside yet. There Is no wind or rain, juat nice steady weather all the time.’* Apply to any agent of th* Canadian Government. The trouble with many experts Is that they are too expert at lying.
