A Hur Lady on a Foot Hills
Reneh.---A Lady in Seaforth recently
-received a very interesting 'letter
from a lady friend of hers, a fer-
nier Huroante, who is now located,
on 0. cattle ranch in the foot hills
of Alberta, in which she relates
501210 of her experiences, and she has
permitted NIS to make a few extracts
from the letter •for the inteseet of
our readers. The letter is dated_
"The Foot Hills, 'September 2nd,
1.904," and reads in part in follows e
"This lovely September morning you
have been in my thoughts so touch,
50 what could. be rnore to the poiut
than just to let you know about it?
My one wish is that you were here
in th.e very heart of the hills with
us, just for a couple of months and
you would retere to Seaforth quite,
Young again. Now, shall I tell you
of our travels, or rather of our pil-
grimage here. Recently my husband
secured 0,200 acres of grazing land
here in the foot hills. So early in
Augu.st it was necessary to come here
to put up hay, about four hundred
tons, to feed the stock in case of
!storms lin winter. It is 25 miles west
of our home location, a good road
almost half way, until we enter the
hills, then no road, just go as you
please, humpity-bumb, etc. Well, we
packed. up .one Saturday .raorning,
three big loads of machinery, fol.
lowed by three mowers and a rake
and a cow and a dog and three ead-
die horses with eight men in charge.
We /made our start atetwelve o'clock.
My husband, my assistant, my little
daughter and myself in a democrat
loaded with household supplies. You

lied it. So we pitched our tent,
t down the stove, and soon had a
t eupper ready, camping by a
,untain spring. After supper We
itained the tent off ihto three
artmente, and we were soon com-
tably domiciled for the night, ray
st night in a tent. But I forgot
teld you that our party consisted
thTee Canadian men, one Irishman,
,o Englishmen, two Swedes and a
nehmen. These, of course, were

little daughter, aid a lady help.

thought, as there was no shelter
