way land East of Gleichan. They
have also given an order for a $6,000
steam breaking outfit, and will have
at least 1,500 aeras ready for fall
wheat this year. The men are all
pprosperous and wealthy farmers from
?Duron eounty and are prepared to
engage in wheat raising on a large
scale. They are highly delighted with
what they have: sen of the West and
are especially surprised to see the
crops so fax' advanced. The appear-
ance of the prairie convinced them
that a. country which can produce
such luxuriant wild natural grass
must be all right for agricultural pur-
poses. They also stated that the crops
M Ontario looked splendid, and when
they left gave promise of an early and
abundant harvest. Mr. Smith ex-
Oects another party of shout twenty
ntario farmers to arrive about June
28 to look over the land around Glei-
chen, with a view to purchasing and
