Mr. John Montgoihery, who is visiting
friends in this vicinity while working in
the interests of the Pickford and
Rudyard farming lands, gives _the
. zEaTE the following for publication
We, the undersigned, Canadians who
have settled in Chippewa and Mackinac
counties, in the Northern Peninsula of
Michigan, wishing to assist those of our
old neighbors who are seeking for new
homes, place the following statement of
facts regarding the section of country
which we live, before them for their
thoughtful consideration :
The Pickford and Rudyard farming
district is located in the valleys of the
Munoscong and Pine rivers partly in
Chippewa and partly in Mackinac
counties, and is well adapted to grain
and stock raising.
The land lies much the sane as the
east side of Hallett, McKillop, Tucker -
smith, Osborne and part of Stanley.
The only difference is that the streams
have higher banks. The land lies just
sloping enough for good drainage, al-
most to the edge of the streams, then
there is a steep bank down to the
water's edge from 30 to 75 feet. There
is eo such thing as boggy land. We
find plenty of water by digging 20 to 50
fent. At 50 to 90 feet we frequently get
flowing wells. Most cf the Band is a
clay learn, very rich with lime, no alkali
and no alkali water. There are
thousands of acres within five or six
miles of Rudyard that can be cleared,
ready for the plow, for $3 to $6 per
acre, there being on it a heavy crop of
grass that grows about 5 feet high, and
little scattering black alder and other
brush. When clearedethe. first crop is
- usually peas, after that any crop of
grain, hay or roots. Binders and
mowers can be run over the land the
first year better than in Huron County
after it is cleared fifteen years, as there
are no stumps to hinder and the surface
is smoother. Where there is less grass
there is a growth of small brush to be
,dubbed, and then it is as clear as the
grass land,
We speak to you.as farmers wh
know what good Land is, and tell yo
that this is an excellent soil, as good a
any in Huron County. It is good fo
fall or spring wheat, barley, oats, pea
and all kinds of roots. til- ince
wheat never heaves out. We have a
good markets ae any on the lakes. W
have the mines west of us and lulnbe
woods west and southwest, where the
use a large amount of hay, oats, flour
potatoes, butter, and other produce
All of thus products of the peninsula ar
consumed there, and more shipped i
from the cities. Therefore our price
are the best on the lakes. They hav
run for this season as follows : Wheat
75 cents; oats, 40 cents; peas, 60 cents
hay $10 per ton; eggs, 25 cents; butter
80 cents; beef, 6; cents; pork, 9 to 10
cents. Timothy and clover grow very
fine and keep thrifty and strong fo
many years.
Pickford village, on the Munoscong
is the centre of a thriving settlement o
sixteen years growth. It has a goo
flouring mill, three general stores, on
shoe store, two hotels, two blacksmit
shops, three :churches, telephone t M
Sanit Ste. arie, and other points,
good school, etc. The majority of farm
around this place are well cleared
fenced, and otherwise improved.
Rudyard is sixteeen miles northwes
of Pickford, on the Minn., St. P. & S. S.
M. Ry., twenty-three miles from Sault
Ste: Marie, and is the shipping point
for this part of the county. The
settlement. in this neighborhood is more
recent than at Pickford, but within. the
past year has grown rapidly. It has a
good water power on Pine River. The
river is narrow and the banks about
oixty feet high, and very steep, so that
the water can be raised to any desired
height without danger of overflow. We
find the climate much the same as- in
Huron County, Ontario, our former
ome—no colder.

Lakelet,
Mr. Robt. Ferguson shipped_ another
road of cattle from Clifford on Mon-
day. The wading through the snow
made those which passed here have an
exhausted appearance.
The logs aro streaming into the saw-
mill yard, which is getting pretty well
fillede Steam was up -for a few days
last week, taking advantage of the sun-
ny weather, but they can- do nothing
this week more than to keep the boiler
warm and their blood in circulation.
Mr. Haskett, was laid up for a consid-
erable time with a scare hand, is getting
well and going his daily rounds.
A little disagreeable difference be-
tween
etween two parties in the immediate vi-
cinity of Lakelet required aconsultation
with Mr. Burnett,,, J. P., to settle it.
Trial was held on Saturday evening but
being absent we are not in possession of
the particulars. -
Mr. John Cook while feeding a cow
turnips one day last week, had the.mis-
'. ortune to have his eye come in contact
with her horn. An ugly, painful wound
is the result.;
Rev. E. R. Mahood occupied the pul-
pit here for the past twc Sundays, Rev.
Mr. Potter being away holidaying.
Mr. John Hamilton went to St. Marys
011 Friday to see a brother who is dan-
gerously ill.
While on his way from Clifford last
Monday Mr. Gowdy's horse overreached
and cut its foot badly. A yeteeinary
surgeon had to be called and the animal
is recovering. - -

A charity social will , be given , on
Thursday evening, March 23rd, by the
relief committee of St. Paul's Church
Y. P. S. C. E, proceeds to go to the poor
of the parish. The social is to be held
in the temperance hall.
The Congregational Church bad a
narrow escapa.from being burned down
early on Sunday morning. In order to
have the elrarch well warmed for ser-
vices on Sunday the caretaker filled the
furnace with coal the night before, and
the high wind gave the fire a good
draught, making such a heat as to burn
the sheet iron off the furnace and set
fire to the basement of the church. Mr.
A. W. Webber noticed the fire and gave
the alarm when the Department turned
out and quickly subdued the flames be-
fore much damage was done.
Mr. Dean's Presentation Party , are
holding the boards at the Opera House
the last three nights of this week.
The storm here on Sunday last was
one of the worst blizzards experienced
by many of our citizens—so they say.

E. W: Hughes exchanged pulpits on
