A Proeperous Country, Estevan, Sask., September 5,1906. The harvest was well over int this district and threshing general by the firet of this month. The croos,as a general thing are good int thief dis- trict, wheat averaging from the thresher about 28 bushels to the, acre. Conditions in this 'part of the west are better than .._aet/any time since its first settlereerit in 1892. ' 1892- 8-4, the general -average was 'not much over J.0 bushels to the acre. Gradually the precipitatron increased and, as the district filled up, the creps became as certain as back in On- tario. Estevan is but ten miles from the boundary lizfe, and the crap yield is better than in the famous North Dakota district. All this treelon 20 years ago was known as the semi- arid district, and even the ranchero weetward as far as the beautiful Cypress hills looked upon the. Este - van section as to dry even for (ranch- ing. Dr. D. R. Davis,. the local weather observer, has a record that shows exactly 28.23 inches of rain, - fall here last year, and a slightly in- creased average for 'the same months of this year. The theory- that the turn- ing over of the virgin coil: increases the moisture is as well established by the experience of the Canadian Northwesthis -could be. Settled by America,ns. Thi pall of Saskatchewan waseset- tied by American farmers, broug4t in by one of the big syndicates. All 'a- long this Moose Jaw branch of the C. P. R. the syndicate operated. The lands were sold on long-time pay- ments at from six to nine dollars per acre. Mayor Yardley this spring sold a quarter section in the Este - van township for $20 cashpee. acre. This indicates the manner in which land values have increased through this » part of the :West. lt Athe or- iginal settlers, at least a great majOrity of them have gone further West, where lands are sheaper, halv- ing sold out here, as -they( did nrevi- ously, when tney left North Dakota. All over the West are to be found these peculiar pioneers—the repre- mentatives of a type' that get rich tak- ing up wild lands and cultivating them until the increased settlement makes the land ,valuable. Now, a yery considerable number of Ontario farmers and Scotch are to be found in ..these ' parts. It is a part of, the West aturally tributary to St. Paul and inneapolls, as the -freight le less hale - to Toronto by one hundred per ent., and less than even to= Winni- et, but little or no business -is done with the American cities. hBuy From Old Ontario. , This is the great highway to the Central States, and more homestead- ers and settlercome in via this aine to Moose Jaw than even through Win- nipeg. In heavy articles such' as stoves and hardware,tbe difference in freight rates between St.- Paul and Toronto will more than exeeed, the tariff on the articles admitted, here. The fact would appear to leave a condition 'naturally favorable to a large business with St. Paul andj this region, for time is the essence of business in this part of thet West. In spite of this there is little real (busi- ness between this section and St. Paul, and a Yankee travelling ina,n is -seldom seen here. Stoves made in Toronto, Fort William, and London) windmills made in Hamilton, and farming machinery turned, out in To- ronto and Hamilton are seen every- where, but very little manufactured in the States. The speed with which merchandise ordered from. St. Paul is conveyed here, as compared with that from Toronto ought to give,the Ameri- can metropolis a 'big lead, based. up- on the ordinary rules of business, but the patriotic instinct is stronger in the West than the country ite ordin- arily given credit for possessing, and this sentiment is a ,big), factor *When Nit comes down to real Huslness. , Plenq of „ Money, This is a very prosperous district, and supplies a huge market fort On- tario man.utactured articles.

West 50 miles is the dreary, freak= of aa- ture known as the Bad; 'Lands, an out cropping of the quaint breaks in the fertile soil seen in a' -more. exag- gerated form further south in South Dakota. :That region is most inhospi- table, and no farming can be done througn that strip, which is about fif- teen miles east and west, extending diagonally north and south. Yet right up into the shadow of this' range ef hills, west Goose Lake, Sam' Law this year had one field of wheat which averaged 28 bushels, threiiher measure and he had 100 acrea oft it. -Ile tame toe tele West from near Perth, Ont., fieurteen years ago, and got the: land on which he produced thie fine crop for a fee of ten dollars—homesteader's rate. -He has stuck theft an each yearraised a little better crop. • "I consider my land worth $la per acre," taald Mr. Law, "and," he add- ed, "I don't care to sell at that. Last year I marketed from 80 acres of wheat exactly 1,900 bushels, or 24 bushels to the acre. this year my threshing of my 100 -acre field is aver- aging, 28, and I believe next yea,r1 it will go 80 with equally favorable con- ditions.
