Dean Sue -Wyatt' you allow mo space
in your paper to give your readers a little
information of my travels, end of the
valley where I am staying. The distance
from Listowel to Smith's Valley is about
000 miles, I left Listowel on the 7th
of January, and arrived in Chicago on
the 8th. T spent 3 days there tatting in
soma of the many sights of that great
city. I visited some of the principal
butldings-the Masonic Temple and the
Chamber of Commerce The Masonic
Temple ie the highest building in the
world, 22 sto oyn hit'h, and there '-e
many other tine buildaugs. The World's
Fair buildings are very fine ; don't mise
the Fair for you may never see the line
again. The stook yards are very lino ;
they cover 1,000 sores of land. A person
cannot imagine what they are like until
they see them. We left Chicago on the
llth of January, at 12;15 a. m., and ar-
rived at Omaha et 0 p m. Omaha is a
doe city, being cue of the most progres-
sive cities in the West, and has doubted
its population during the met five years.
On leaving Omaha we take the Union
Pawtli° railroad for Ogden, we efmOS the
Rooky Mountains at the high et point
that hoe ever been reached by railroad, it
i,. 8,800 feet above the level of the sea.
We travel for two days and two nights
and eau see nothing but rooks and sago
brush, we reached Careen City an the
15th of Jannury. We then take the stage
from Carson Uity to Smith's Valley, a
distance of 57 miles, and roach Smith's
Valley at 10 o'olook at night. The roads,
which go in all directions in thiscountry,
were very bad tbrough the valleys. I
will now give you some little information
about the valley I am living in. It is 25
miles long and 10 miles wide ; there are
only about 6,000 scree under onlbivation,
the rest being covered with sage brush
and grass. The sage brush grows about
three feet high in bandies and no beast
will eat it. They have to irrigate the
land here. They can only get water in
some parts of the valley. The land is
very productive, they grow fine crops of
bay ; they sow a kind of grass called the
Alfalfa, and otbn out three crops of this
bay in a year ; they grow 5 tons per
sere. It is vary fine feed for horses and
cattle. ft is fed to pigs and fowl of all
kinds, and they feed nothing else to their
ho ens, which are kept fat and work all
the time. No grain is fed, Cattle fee,
ten faster on this hay than they do in
Canada on chop, turnips, and hay.
Some ranches fatten as many as 100
head in the Winter. The stock is not
kept in stables, but is allowed to run in
the kraal all Winter. There is no snow
in the valley, it is like Spring, bat you
eau see snow on the mountains all Sum-
mer. This oo entry is beat adapted for
dairying and stook raining. There is a
creamery in the valley, where they make
butter and skimmed milk cheese. Ole
margin is put in the Omen instead of
butter fat. It is nothing like the cheese
made in Ontario. Cheese is sold for too,
per pound and butter for Sdo. Some
mallet keep as many as 100 cows, and
milk their ocws from 10 to 11 mouths in
the your. This is a fine climate for
making cheese, cool at nights and no
snow, butter and cheese bein.c; made a'1
Winter. Servant girls get 520 per month
and have no milking to do, as the men do
all the milking and the Mabalies do the
washing. Sebool teachers get $75 poi
month. There are some fine springs
hers ; I visited the sulphur and hot water
springs. The water is 180 degrees hot
where it comes out of the mountain.
The stream is used for rnnuing a water
wheel for crushing rook. There is a
silver mine near the springs but mining
ie not carried on very extensively just
now. About 25 families live in the vel•
ley and they are a very sociable lot of
people, more so than they are in Canada.
Almost every nationality is represented.
I will draw to a close my few remarks
for this time. Thanking you for your
space in your paper, I remain,
Yours trnly,

One of the most cold blooded and de-
liberate murder's ever committed in the
County of Elein was enacted in the gniet
little village of Lawrence Station, on the
Ab' Line dhisiou of the G. T. R., about
twelve.eniles north-west of Sb. Thomas,
about three o'slook Wednesday afternoon.
The particular+ of the crime are ;-Ser•
era' men were employed that afternoon
at Widdifield's Pond cutting and storing
ins, when a dog, the property of Fred.
Glover, started chasing a turkey, the
property of George Young, A diepnte
arose over this trivial affair, when Young
drew a revolver and deliberately shot at
Glover four times, one bullet taking ef.
feat under the left arm a little above the
heart, He lingered for about fifteen
minutes and expired. The =udder was
promptly arrested and lodged safely be-
hind the bars in St. 'Phomas. The resi-
dents of tee village were thrown into a
great state of excitement when the fact
became known, and only for the prompt
arrival of Detective Robb. Stiller, of that
place, the murderer would undoubtedly
have been lynched. As it was he had a
close call for bis life, George E. Young,
the murderer, is a young man of nether
uncouth appearance, with sandy mous.
Mahe and wuiskers, and is aged about 25
years, His father, .lames Young, is also
a resident of Lawrence. The victim,
Fred. Glover, is a young man 21 years of

Warren RATS. The Wingham Advance
says ;-Sear'y a couple of a'eelte ag•' two
boys went to the back of J. T. Cook's
residence and knocked at the door. Mn.s
Cook answered the knock, and one of the
boys a -ked for Mr. Cools, who tv at in-
formed that he was not at home, being in
Toronto• the boy, in answer to enquiry,
said tvlr. Cook was wanted by a genie -
man down town. Mrs. Cook cloyed the
door and expected the boys hal left, but
instead of doing so immediately they
went into a back apartment and took
with them a large cage containing a num-
ber of white rats, One boy afterwards
informed add Bullard that the other
heel threatened to "kick" him if he did
not help carry the mage. The youths
proceeded to the rear of D. Sutherland's
residence, where they deposited the cage
and put the rats into their pockets. Mrs.
Cook, as soon 55 si,e found ant her los,
informed the Chief of the theft and of
the strange milt of the boys, and he
started to work on the case. The rat-
steaters had been to J. MaKelvie's in
attach of a box to put their booty in, and
through othere being in the restaurant ab
the time the fact of them having these
strange little pats in theirposseseion soon
leaked out, and through this the Chid
found ont wbo the boys were. PIs then
proceeded to the school and oalled one of
the boys out, who at first wan quits
ignorant of the affair, but the evidence
was too much for him and he bold all
about it. The rats and cage w, re re-
covered and restored to their owner.
Mr. Uook being from home, no action
was taken in the matter. This petty
thieving is too oomrnon an oa0urrenoe,
and if the elder of these two boys is
naught again in such work he may look
for three years at Penebangnisbene.
