take the liberty of giving you a little
talk about the country where 1 am

of that wonderful little growing town
of Outlook, situated on the South
Saskatchewan river, about. 150 miles
North West of Regina, the capital of
the Province. We bave good laud of
the first quality, slightly rolling. The
season this year has been of the best,
lots of sunshine and rain, and crops
are all headed out and looking fine
To the North of us we haee Reel Deer
Lake with its ever flowing fresh water
springs. There, thereare berries of
every kind, viz, gooseberries, rasp-
berries, currants and lots of Saska-
toons. The latter are:something like
red currants but have aanuch more
delicate flavor. Up till now there has
been plenty of wood (poplar and Man-
itoba maple) but itis pretty web gone
now. We have a floe school here, and
church services are held there as fol-
lows :-Church of England every Sun-
day and Presbyterian every alternate
Sunday. There is every prospect of a
railway going through this vicinity in
the near future. Well, lir. Editor, I
most not take up any more of your
valuable space, so will now close.
Yours, very truly,
