Some homesteads or quarter: sections have from 5 to 40 acres of .land _ which . cannot _ be brought under immediate cultivation. As stated, it‘s hindrances are the slews, or ponds, and alkali in a few places. Now, I would like to ask the Waterloo county farmer if he works all of his land on a 160 acre farm.

My Dear Friends,â€"By the kindness of the editor of the Telegraph, +1 would like to give some informaiion regarding this district, lying almosi in the centre of the great Northwes. Our colony, comprising the Bichu‘s, Cressmans, Bowmans Devitts, Rosen bergers, â€" Rudys, Moyers, Hallmans, Steiner, Shuh, Kolb, Weber, Shaitz, arrived safely "through danzecs seon and unseen.‘" The â€"experiences _ en route were many. A horse and a cow died, but the rest of the cleven toa‘â€" ed og overloaded cars arrived in good shajte. Owing to having no buildings on ‘"Whe land which we took in posâ€" sessioft it made it very inconvenâ€" ient for our party to â€"begin |!i-,m-r-rJ life. Humbolt, our station on wie Canadian Northern Ry., lies about 3‘ miles north from our settlement. The ‘ women, children and most of our parâ€" | ty stayed at Humbolt over a woek, | in <the ~station, freight cars, tents, j any: place for.shelter, while a few ul' the settlers located their Immos'.-ul:sl and sought out a building site for their future homes. The most of thc' colony is scattered around a nice disâ€" trict â€" bordering between two townâ€" ships, where we are now engaged in laying the foundation for this future settlement. l Interesting Information Regard ing the New Settlement Founded by Wellknownâ€" Waterloo Countyites 0 later ‘han Haturday noon ‘The copy tor Poavaes [anus" mot belatinie chan Tpadet #:-‘d"mv- sements aoce P LETTER FROM THE MENNONITE RESERVE $1.00 per annum in advance a so A e rates reasonable and will be _Pikiee 2L mepemmnet be _ Chronicle â€" Telegraph mnw published every Thursda David Bean Proprietor ADVERTISERS.

Besides, it was my constant deâ€" sire to give this information to my nnmerous friends and readers of _ the _ Chronicle or _ Telegraph in genetal. May the hand that moves the world and 1ts accomâ€" panving â€" planetsmove us to every good work and deed. e Yours very truly, E. 8. HALLMAN, Humbolt, Sask., N. W T. is so flattering that 1 do not care to give it fo the public, as it is always bestâ€" to "wait and see." Our neighâ€" bors tell us that this.vicinity has a few wild ~bronchos, â€"deer, antelopes, and onee_ in a while we_see a prajrie woll.. The large lakes have good fish. 1 have a slew, or large pond, on my homestcad containing over twenty acres. _ Thereâ€" are. constantiy about two dozen wild ducks on its waters. Prairie chickens are also seen at plaâ€" Here, as well as in almost all the great Northwest, you will find the ! misquito pest, even the fleas ard grey back lice are no strangers ~to some. The mosquito season has not started yet. We may not have so many ‘this year owing to the prairie fires, which.swept over this country last fall and this spring. Indeed, takâ€" ing all things into consideration, the moving into any part of the Northâ€" western prairie means something, and if you are not brave to withstand the contrary tide, you will soon be disâ€" couraged and may make it unpleasant in the family circle and community here. But if you desite in a few years to be the owner of 160 acres of good farm ‘land, and enjoy the beauâ€" tiful summer days and cool nights, the . healthful climate, cte., you will not be overeome by some inconvenâ€" iences and pests, but please do "count the cost." ‘This countrd' is not ‘ for. all. _ Should you get fhe Northwest (soâ€"called) fever, then weigh all the ubstacles and hindrances carefully. remember to ‘‘count the cost," and above all. seek divine .guidance, and | think not that the aim of our life is lands and weaith, but to "have our affections . set on things . above," where ‘"rust doth not corrupt, nor thieves break through nor stcal." The Outlook. Within a limited time a few railâ€" roadsâ€"willâ€"be built across the reserve. The good land seems favorable for wheat farming, etc., the poot land does not. If conditions are the same here as north, south, cast and west of us, we need not hesitate to believe that by God‘s blessing we are in a favored spot in the Northwest. A few settlers have spent a year within five miles from us, and are well satisfied. They are well pleased with this counâ€" try and one scettler‘s recommendation for spring sowing and getting shelter for their families, stock and effects.. Even when they or we go to locate homesteads and lands, we mustâ€" call in a locater to drive us around _ the country.â€"John Jansen,â€" in going out to select lands, also calls a locater to his assistance, but he does very little sclecting, being too busy, the generalâ€"oversichtâ€"of â€"theâ€"reserveâ€"keen= ing him busy a good farm is selected, it is worth the expenses many times over. Those who intend locating here and have not notified â€"anyone to select their land, should comeat once with the first excursion, or before that. Our friends living on the reserve cannot give theirâ€"time for the preâ€" sent to locate homesteads and lands. They are busy getting their goods from the station, which lie exposed to the town people along the railroad siding, besides breaking some land The Saskatchewan Valley and Manâ€" itoba Land Co., who control all the lands on the reserve, besides hundâ€" reds of townships around us, have for sale a great amount of land all arâ€" ound us. In a few townships it is nearly al sold, but there is a large area of good land, from 6 to 30 miles from here, for sale. 1 understand Mr. John Jansen, general representative of the reserve, to say that lands which have been sold on or before April ist, will be held in reserve to purchasers only, and no land is being sold to any one outside the Mennonâ€" ite societies, or those under their special contract, until June 15th. It takes a great deal of time and exâ€" pense to locate these lands. Expenses. {‘ ) In locating a homestead or lands bought by friends, it often runs up a bill of from $10 to $30, occasionally more. When a homeâ€"seeker arrives at Mumbeltâ€"heâ€"wittâ€"haveâ€"to hite a 40â€" cater‘" (who knows the country, its location of section stakes, etc.), who charges from $4 to $6 a day for + | ’wam and from $3 to $5° a day _ for _ a, locater. OIt â€" takes reserve and return, and from 3 t» i days to drive around the country in selecting lands, care being taken â€"to procure good lands, as there is good and poor land, the same as holds good in most countries, so one round trip costs from say $10 to $66. This expense can be brought down if â€" a party of two or four go with a loâ€" cater. But $10, $25, or even $100 exâ€" penses should not be the main considâ€" eration in selecting a farm here. When stead is filed by telegram, with notâ€" ice that the return message is preâ€" paid. _ There are many homesteads open, but it takes time and expense to locate then:, and 1 hope our inâ€" tending settlers will have patience if they do not bear from us inside of a few weeks.
