NEWS FROM THE WEST,
To t e Editor of Tun Yon, :
Dmilt Sta.--Well we struck rather hard
look this trip as there is nothing doing
here juin uow and not much sip of
Spriog. Weather is cold, we had 01 520
below zero since we mew and a shower
of -now every few days. Snow is very
deep in the country and is about 8 feet
deep on the roads yet. Hard frosts every
night freeze ice strong enough to carry a
home, Every place le full of teeter
when the sun ie out a while, and there ie
lots of sketiug in the mornings. Our
horses came through pretty good as
they were 11 days and 12 nights o0 the
road. We cannot get out to see the lane
where we intended going for about two
mouths as the water will be so high When
the snow is gone, that is if it goes this
eummer, and the grass was all burned
last Fall so that there is no feed for
horses. The trip is too long to carry
hay enough so we will have to leave it off
till the grass grows. I have been ad-
vised by Commissioner McKellar to wait
till the first of June as there is plenty of
good land there yet to be surveyed and
cumin be all surveyed this season.
There are 17 in our warm from Brus-els
and surroundings. A very large amonin
of building Is to be done here this Sum-
mer, the largest in the history of Moose
Jaw is the repo t but all is very
quiet just now. We are all well at pres-
ent. Wiehiog you the same.
