A pair of Gold Spex make nice present for your mother. a The Popular Store at Blake Letter From The West. Edmonton Jan, 4tU, 1908, ,EDITOR ZURICH HERALD As your many readers may be somewhat in terosted in the condition of aff airs existing in this part of the west, I will try and give you as near as I can what I have experienced. The fall and winter weather so far has been grand, An average of about 10 degrees of frost up to the pre- sent date, we have five inches of snow which makes good sleighing in this country, but the best of it is the weather is steady and the snow stays just where it falls, no such a thing as blizzards in north- ern Alberta, and is a fair sample of the five winters that has gone be- fore which I have spent' in this country. Prices of grain arrange such, for wheat, $1,00, oats, 60 cts, barley, 75 cts per bushel, timothy hay, $18.00, straw $4.00 per ton, for poultry, turkeys 25 cts, geese 18 cts, ducks and chickens, 15 cts per pound, hogs dressed 8 cts nounc and beef 6 cts per pound, by the caroass. Butter is selling 25 cts per pound, and eggs 60 cts per doz, potatoes and all kinds of vegetab- les are high in prices, so you see farmers in this part have a ready market for everything they grow. Next year will bring its own in- rush of people, greater it is antici- pated than ever before and its de- mand for new buildings of every class, from the less pretentious cot tage to the Palatial home, but in addition to the actual woe k going on in the city, operations will be continned on the G. T. P. bridge at Clover Bar, on the million dollar high level bridge for the C. P. R. entrance to Edmonton, and on the million dollar packing plant being constructed at the junction of the C. N. R. and G. T. P. roads. A packing firm with a world-wide re- putation is behind the men, who are building it and lin addition to the main plant, there will be a manufactory for soap and other by-products. 3,000,000 bricks will be used in building it, 100 car loads of lumber and gravel and sand proportionately. This is the largest industrial plant yet planned in Edmonton, but its coming the re- sult of keen financiers reading of Edmonton's future. It is only the forerunner of many" more huge concerns which will in due time be established here at the gateway of the north the portal of the Yellow Head pass and the natural centre of an Agricultural Empire.

"Rod and Gun and Motor Sports in Canada," published by W. J. Taylor, at Woodstock, Ont., makes a splendid beginning for the New Year. It is crowded with stories of interest to sportsmen, including notes on the -last season's sport in several Provinces, which must cause hunters to go over their own experiences once more and see if they agree with those given. The most important subject of the In- ternational Control of the Great Lakes Fisheries is dealt with in an address given by Mr. A. Kelly Evans at a conference of the Ameri- can Fisheries Society. Stories of deer hunting in Quebec and Onta- rio, duck hunting in Manitoba and Saskatchewan, exploring trips in the northern country, with fisher- men's yarns and mountain climb- ing reminiscences are but samples of the budget of good things await- ing the readers of this excellent magazine. Every lover of outdoor life must find something to 'Ippeal to his particular and favorite re- creation, and to the whole of them must come home the spirit of the well written and effective story "Nature's Elixir—and it is not work 1" This is the spirit pervad- ing the whole—the spirit of free- dom and strenuous exertion which brings with it health and happiness though in the conventions of mod- ern civilization it is not classed as "work." Ofted indeed, as every sportsman knows, it is work of the hardest possible character, but when it is a change from ordinary occupations, let the labor be what it may, so long as it is performed in the open air and without re- straint, it is not, in the ordinary acceptance of the word, "work." With such a promising beginning the New Year holds the strongest possibilities for the further success of this favorite Canadian magazine whose special work it has been to make the advantages of the Domin- ion in the region of sport known to our people and through them to the whole world. Weak Manors, surely point to weak kidney *iories.
