R. Limerick, Sask., July 1 To the Editor of The Advance Dear Sir receive the Advance every week axed must say that Wing. ham news is very welcome, though it is usually a week and a hail old when. I receive it. I thoughtperhaps some of your readers might like to hear something about this part of the country, as it it one of the newest parts of Saskatche- wan and not visited by those who conte 'West for pleasure. I arrived in Moose Jaw on the 25th of May, and left that afternoon on an eighty toile drive southward, to take charge of Limerick school. Moose Jaw is the commercial centre and market of all this vast country as far south as the boundary, and is a very busy spot, Its growth has been most rapid and it is now a city of about twenty thousand population. Every day numbers of settlers leave it trekking southwards to find homes in this new country. The "prairie- schooners" are still to be seen, those large tent -covered wagons drawn by oxen, which I thought bad disappears ed with the roving tribes of savage Indians and the buffalo. In these, the settler carries wife `and children and all his earthly possesions, and this must be their home during the long journey over rough. trails and until he can construct a small sod shack. Many teams are also seen• on the roads carting out supplies and lumber for new dwellings, The second day on the trail we were caught in a heavy snow -storm and forced to remain several days at a ranch house, There are very few ranches around here except in the Dirt Hills, about thirty miles south of Moose Jaw. The farmers are steadily encroaching upon the old ranching country and pushing the ranchers back to the hilly parts. Limerick is nothing but a post office in the house, of John'Knox, who is a cousin of Mr, John McLean of Wing- ham and wlso was a resident of Morris, about twenty-five years ago. Most of the people around here are Canadians, many from Ontario and few have been here more than three or four years. My school was just completed 'and opened on June 5th. I have eighteen pupils, all English-speaking. The westerners believe in having things right and the school is a splendid build- ing and well equipped, much ahead of most Ontario schools. This, I think is a credit to the people of this dis- trict, considering that everything had to be carted from Moose Jaw. Many of the shacks around here are built of soil and are a novel sight to one brought up in Ontario, Acme of them are not more,. than six'feet high outside, and have wall's about two feet thick at the bottom. The in- terior is dug down a foot or two, lined with tar paper and makes a com- fortable, though not,comrnodious nor beautiful dwelling. In some places nature has tried to remedy the latter defect and tall weeds and grass grow from the sod, looking like a hanging garden. We have had a fair share of rain this summer and crops look very promising. It is to be hoped this Will continue, for last year they were almost a total failure •Owing to the drought. There is more flax grown here than any other grain. The home- steader believes in taking things easy and an Ontario farmer would never expect anything to grow on land as poorly cultivated as it is here. They plant potatoes in the "breaking," that is thin slices of potatoes are put under. the newly ploughed sod and somehow they manage to make their way up, some through the cracks between the 0 furrows, and some right through the heavy sod, and yield a good, crop. I have seen crops put in on last year's stubble without even harrowing. Cultivation pays though, for crops on well -tilled ground are mach ahead of the others The greatest drawback to this country is the. lack of water and fuel. Many people have to drink water from the sleughs. It is strong- ly alkaline and besides being very distasteful is apt to cause disease. Even the water in the wells has a strong alkali taste. There are no trees or Shrubs around here,and the settler has to go to the wood mountain, about twenty-five miles south and about twenty from Montana, to get .poplar poles. They also mine coal there, but it is just lignite and does not burn very well. Every chip is precious in this Country. Oa the 12th of duly we drove down to Wood Mountain where there; was to be a picnic at the station of the Mounted Police. A little south of Twelve 111iie Lake begin the mountains whichettend t down o in o t lkl ntan a, This is still a great ranching country. We drove through one ranch, which is seventeen miles long and I don't know ho wwIn wide,one pasture there were six hundred horses running. It is Said that the owner sold $85,000 worth of horses this spring. In this part most of the houses are made of mud. A light frame -work of poles is plastered with mud and this is white- washed with with alkali clay, Some have thatched roofs, but solve are of boards painted red, They look mail better than Pod shacks, and ata dia- tante would page for cement. The scenery is very beautiful, Some of the hills are very rugged and coveted with groves of poplar and willow.. Emerging from one of these we came suddenly upon the pionle grout&, It wadi 6t very gags eoene. There were about a hundred. tents pitehed among the bushes, the Indian °atop by ttealf aszd beyond it the race -brook marked sat with ase and pentroits. Beyond a MU* Wawa, W$ OW fold bad,,* page of the Mounted Polios, floating the Union Jack, It seemed like the meeting of all .nations. Many Indians were seated in front of their tents, ohl xnen with their hair in two long braids, .the chief with a feather in his hat, squaws with gay dresses of bine, red or pink with red shawls over their heads. Roumanians in holiday attire with brilliant silk scarfs on their hair, Scandinavians, Germans, half-breeds, French half-breeds and whites from Montana and many others' mingled together in a motley throng, An additional touch of color was added by the red coats of the "Mounties" and the bright fur caps of the cow -boys, We were just too late far the "bronco busting." They said one bucked beautifully, roared like a steer, jump- ed straight up in the air and landed stiff on all fours, There were some fine horses there, and a number of races, one a ladies' race, which was won by a girl from Montana. The Indians and half-breeds learn to ride about as soon as they learn to walk, We Ieft the grounds early and driv- ing on a few rniles pitched our tent by a little grove and passed the night there, sleeping too soundly to be dis- turbed by the howling of the coyotes in the distance. The next day we had a lovely drive among the mountains, visited a coal' mine and examined some peculiar rocks. We saw one steep cliff over which the Indians used. to drive the buffalo for the fun of seeing them break their necks. It seems strange that those mighty herds have vanished from the earth. Their tracks are still to be seen in deeply worn paths where they went to the lakes to water. Wherever there is a large. stone, it is polished smooth by the horns of the buffalo and the earth tramped away several feet deep. We saw several buffalo skulls bleached by the sun. • A great change bas taken place in this country uring the last few years and there are greater things to come. The Weyburn -Lethbridge line of the C. P. R, will pass quite close to Limeriek and with a market and base of supplies hear at hand the country will progress rapidly. Th e C.N.R. is supposed to reach Johnston Lake, forty miles from here this fall, And settlers are already pouring in. One could enlarge at great length upon the possibilities of this country when it is ,properly opened up, but I must not occupy any more of your space. Yours very truly, Irene Davis.
