In such regions the process of alternate prairie and forest making may be constaDtly observed, tire being the great factor on one hand, and natural tendency on the other.

Every tenth year, it has been said, lops off an American wheat export- ing state; and it is easy to forecast the value which must in a few years attach to our own areas of unused land in a climate which, with all its drawbacks of a rigorous vvinter and occasional drought?, produces wheat in the highest perfection. Indeed, the growth of hard wheat may be said to be almost confined to our Northweiit, a fact whose economic value it is difficult to over-esMmate. It is only within recent years that the facts with regard to our wheat producing area have become patent. Joying away from the grej^t paths of trade and population, and jealously secluded from settlement, the wheat belt for a long time was looked upon by the outside world solely as a fur-bearing region. As a matter of fact, it is but a few years since wheat was first grown to any extent on the Saskatchewan, and the whole history of the cultivation of the plant, even in Red River Settlement, lies within the compass of a lifetime. Nevertheless, the early discoverers and explorers were not without a knowledge of the wheat growing resources of the Northwest; and it will perhaps surprise many a reader to learn that wheat was grown by French farmers upon the Sashatchewan long before the Conquest. Had that overturn, indeed, not taken place, there can be no doubt that Scignones would have been established throughout the Northwest in the last century, and that a line of French Canadian Censitains would have extended long ago' along the bank«; of its principal rivers. 6 F.

Numerous old Indian graves attest that the Prince Albert flat must in early days have bean a meeting place of the Indians, owing no doaht to ils easy landings and to its large area of c.:.niping -ground; but more pjrliaps to its central situation, for the Indians had a keen eye to convenience, and tneir uncienr rallying points are invariably the sites of the white men's cities of to-day. These features, no doubt, commended the spot to the subsequent founder of the Mission of Prince Albert in i865, the iate Mr. Nisbett, around whose farm has e>i.».etided v.ithin recent ye?.rs what is now the well known capital of Saskatchewan, Milling facilities, the primary requisites of every new settlement, were added iii 1874, and other mills followed, with so speedy an increase of population and ind>istries that had any outlet been furnished for sur- plus productions, a lai^ ;e export trade would have been developed, put railways being withheld, production naturally languished, and wa? confinecj to the su^jph 0 .■* local qemand.

But the railway scheme fell through, and witi: it the farmei's hapes. His surplus proved to be a burden rather than a blessing, and lack of storage and a market led to the waste of much valuable grain. Since then production has done little more than keep pace with local demand. Farmers have turned their attention more to stock-raising than to wheat, 'and not a bushel of Saskatchewan grain has ever found an eastern market. Yet even the local trade, engendered by :i large settlement, has been the means ot wonderful progress The settlers of Prince Albert are perhaps better h-jused than any others in the Territories; schools are established in all directions, and the town has grown to large proportions. Many plac.s dej'end npon railways either for their orii^in or advancement.

The advent of the railway now under construction, and of which it is the terminus, is certain to build it into a city, and, with the completion of railway connection with Hudson^s Bay, it will, by virtue of its situation, undoubtedly become a place of com- rnanding importance. It may be described as occupying at once the middle distance of the Fertile Belt, and of a great continental river — the Saskaichewan-^cutrivalling, as regards the extent and value of the country it drains, the St. Lawrence itself.

Prince Albert will be the point of departure from the great wheat belt for tide water; for, though five hundred miles*northwest of Winnipeg, it is yet nearer Churchill than that city, and Churchill is the true harbor of Hudson's Bay.

The predatory grasshopper ha» never done any injury throughout the immense area inclosed by these two belts of evergreen timber and the two rivers; though smce the cut* ture ot cereals began in the settlement, six crops have at various times been partially or totally destroyed in Minnesota, and in tne old Red River Settlement in Manitoba. This is a very important fact in the history of Prince Albert in the opinion of men who have witnessed with their own eyes, the frequent ravages of the insect elsewhere, and their deplorable consequences. As the locusts have devastated almost at stated intervals, both our own and the American Northwest, so will they visit and destroy again; and the fact is worth consideration that in the very centre of the Fertile Belt there exists a vast area of fer- tile land, which for unknown reasons enjoys special immunity from attack, Many here are of opinion that the two belts of timber referred to should be reserved by Government and preserved as a permanent barrier against the worst, and indeed almost the only enemy of the farmer in the North- west. The boundaries of Prince Albert settlement, as thus defined, enclose something like a million acres of exceedingly fertile land The soil is mainly argillaceous, with superficial deposits of vegetable mould varying in depth from twelve inches to four feet. The clay is whitish when dry and is made into excellent bricks at Prince Albert. The vegetable deposit is more or less mixed with sand, and is very porous, clean and easily worked. The glairy and almost impassable mud of Manitoba is unknown here, and excepting the sloughs which traverse the highways, one can travel dry-shod immediately after the sncw has melted )•<••• •< •■J I 14 BAKER ESTATE IN THE BUSINESS CENTRE — OF THE Town of Prince Albert I Choice Building Lots!

The country, too, is hilly and therefore picturesque, though the hills are all cultivable, and not a stone is to be seen any- where away from the banks of the river, where the boulders arc found from which the lime burners draw their supply. Out crops of limestone are spoken (»f, however, which may yet supply the district with building materials of the best quality. The prairie has an added charm in the beiutiful groves of aspen, wnich extend here and there through the valleys and over the hills, and in the abundance of small but refreshing ponds or lakelets, one of which is almost certain to be found in every ' settler's "park." But the great features of Prince Albert settlement are its two noble rivers, the North and South Saskatchewan, here only eighteen miles apart. These magnificent streams, which rise in the Rocky Mountains and are fed by melting snows and glaciers in that great range, after a career of 500 miles unite about thirty-five miles below Prince Albert, between precipitous and almost mountainous banks. Thence the river carries its intermingled floods 500 miles further, widen- ing ill Us lower ' reaches into vast wildernesses of almost unexplored lakes — a sea rather than a river — and after a terrible riot over Grand Rapids drops smoothly into the great Lake Winnipeg, as long though not as wide as Lake Superior, and connected by NeUon River with Hudson's Bay. In winter the water of both branches of the Saskatche wan is as clear as crystal, but as soon as spring opens it becomes highly colored with alluvium washed from its banks. Both rivers rise with the increasing heat of summer, there being three marked freshets-^in spring, in Juue and in August. This is owing, of course, to their gourceg' lyinjji in the multitudinous snows and glaciers of the mounrainsi I '1 < m i'Wpifl t ■■-^^ 1« IMPORTANT To the Travelling Public and intending Settlers. ^»- J.

The Saskatchewan differs in other respects from what may be called local and inland streams. It is "continental " in its mighty resources and natural importance. There are but four rivers in North America east of the Rocky Mountains, which may justly bs called continental, and the Saskatchewan is one of the four. It is important therefore that such a river should receive attention at the hands of Parliament. Mil- lions of money have been spent on the improvement of the St. Lawrence, and millions more are required to make it what it may yet be and ought to be — a highway for ocean-going vessels to the head of Lake Superior, for the St. Lawrence flows in the right direction for trade. But so does the Saskatchewan. It also flows eastward, and its natural resources and productions, coal and cereals, which cannot endure a costly transport, may yet be carried cheaply by its current, as on the Danube, in flat boats, which any farmer can build, while the manufactures of the east, wnich can stand heavier charges must be carried against it. But though millions have been and still are required for the improvement of the St. Lawrence, millions are not required for the Saskatchewan. Twenty thousand pounds properly expended upon the river would greatly facili^ tate transport and get rid of the worst obstructions to navigation. An expenditure of thrice this sum would probably make a river 1,500 miles long, navigable from its discharge almost to its fountains. Reference has already been made to the wheat of Prince Albert, which, it is need- less to say is of the best quality. Oats and barley are the other grains cultivated and yield largely. Barley, in fact, is a "weed" in the North west. It }itlds "volunlter crops" as they are called, and is almost as J8 : li IM[ ■J !:: 1 1 I I I •'i REAL ESTATE. $15 0,0 O O Worth of the most desirable Real Estate in the North West Territories is now being offered at Prices tiiat will enable all to become Part Proprietors o| ttio GHIOAGQ OF CANADA, BVUDING LOTS AND OHOIOE VILLA LOTS.

This diffi- culty is not discreditable to the soil, of course, and is due altogether to slovenly cultivation and the irrepressible energies of the " king o' grain/' Roots and vegetables mature perfectly and excellent tomatoes have been grown and ripened, but demand more care than in the east. Mandan corn — the parent or aboriginal corn — ripens, but the tender and im- proved eastern varieties do not. The wild plum and grape are not found on the Siskatchewan, though doubtless both v/ould thrive if trans/ planted; but all other wild fruits usually found in the eastern province* grow abundantly, and are s'lperior to their congenors in the east. The low-bush cranberry certainly is, as it is full to bursting of a mild sub-acid juice which is often made into a very palatable beer in the settlement. The winter climate is certainly much more agreeable than that of Mani- toba. It is not windy in winter, and there is an entire absence of ♦'blizzirds." The snow is seldom deep, and the falls are not frequent, the winter weather being generally brilliantly clear and exhilirating. The summer climate Is simply delightful. Being in a higher latitude than Manitoba the daylight is longer and one can easily read small type by natural light at ten o'clock at night in the end of June, This lengthy ened sunshine also contributes to the ripening of grain, the quality of wheat varies inversely as to the distance from the northern limit of its ' growth Frost sometimes attacks it, as in that province, in seasons when the spring has been late and seeding protracted. But frost need not deter the immigrant from coming here. This is indisputably a wheat growing country, and an occasional frost is what has visited every new settlement in every Province of the Dominion, The June frosts, for example, which do so much damage in Ontario, are unknown at Pnnce 20 Live Stock Dealer, PRIIS^CE ALBERT, - • SASK.

This is a very important fact and should be borne in mind when frosts in this country are spoken of. They occur in the latter pajt of August when a *'break" more or less decided generally takes place in the weather. There is a marked and sudden decline in the temperature. The nights become chilly and repressive, and frost is **feared,' at this time though it does not generally come. Early sowing therefore is im- portant and an early variety of wheat which, it seems likely, will be de- veloped in the country itself But though an eaily variety of *heat is important, diligence on the part of the loimer is more important still. When a frost does occur is is our best farmers who suffer least, and sometimes not at all. Of the extensive region lying between the two rivers, and which has been briefly described, a considerable portion has been taken up. But the immigrants with means who wish to purchase improved farms can do so at very low figures almost in any part of the peninsula adja* cent to Prince Albert. Many of the pioneer settlers are willing to sell their claims at the upset price and bare value of improvements in order to acquire a second homestead, and, with the capital obtained by the sale of the first, stock and cultivate the second to better advantage. Nor need the intending immigrant confine his destinies to Prince Albert settlement alone. There are adjacent districts quite as worthy of his notice so far as land is concerned. The Pay wanan and Fort a la Come country is of a fine character. Particularly so is the Stony Creek and Carrrt River region where many families are already comfortably settled upon lands cf a rich character. This is also a great hay region, 21 BBfiWSTBB & McRAt, Advocates, Notaries Public, Etc PRINCE ALBERT, SASK. SIEPHEN BBEWSTER, I JAMES liieKAT. and promises tp be a very fine and flourishing district when developed. But of ail the localities tributary to Prince Albert perhaps the most in- viting is that known as the Shell River country, which lies north-west of the Saskatchewan, a region which is to be surveyed and opened up for settlement this summer, and which is within easy reach of the town by a good trail. It is drained by a beautiful gravelly stream of clear water bordered by the most luxuriant hay meadows in the country. The whole region is interspersed with clomps of spruce of good growth, furnishing an abundant supply of building timber of the best quality. Clear lakes, generally abounding in fish are numerous; game is abundant, and the quality of the soil itself all that could be desired. Indeed it would be difficult to exaggerate the interesting features of this beautiful region which is of great extent, and is entirely unoccupied as yet by settlers, and untouched by the speculator, or the landed corporation. The reserves of the Hudson's Bay Company end with the North Branch of the Saskatchewan; colonization compauies have no footing here; no railway leserves have been established, and therefore the immigrant will find in this region a fair field with no interested speculator to stand be- twixt him and his patent. North and east of this region lie the great lakes of the Saskatchewan, to which reference has been made, some of which are of immense size and all of which abound with trout, pike and whitefish which will be a (.ermanent supply for home and fcr export if properly preserved. Thtre are other resources known to exist in the Fertile BeU which, 22 f^p :. I ?

Coal abounds on the North Saskatchewan, and a valuable measure exists within four miles of the town of Prince Albert. Judging by the Exposure of the bed and by borings made back from the river bank, this IS evidently a very extensive seam, and will soon be a valuable and con* venient source of supply to the capital of the District. Evidences towards Sturgeon Lake, some twenty miles to the north, indicate the neighborhood of Prince Albert as a great coal-bearing region; gold is found in the river and there are probably other mineral deposits in the north which will doubtless yet prove to be of economic value. But the future of Prince Albert and the Fertile Belt does not depend upon minerals .even if tney exist in any quantity, which is doubtful, since it is not a moun- tainous but a farming country. The two conditions do not generally consist. British Columbia^ for instance, is a country of mountains and minerals, but it is justly discredited as a farmer's province. If a man could live on scenery alone all would be weli with him there, but men must eat in order to live; and British Columbia is a region not for the poor man but for the rich syndicate and the capitalist. On the other hand the poorest man can come to Prince Albert and if he have enert^y and perseverance can speedily build up a comtortable home for himself and family; lor, as was fittingly remarked by one of the speakers at the ban- quet given to Lieut-Governor Royal by the citizens of Prince Albert last summer, "here seem to be brought together by, the hand of nature the three greu, desiderata of the farmer, land, wood and water; land upon whose bosom has withered the enriching and procreant vegetation of centuries; land which drops fatness as if in the fulfilment of prophecy, at once generous and abundant, and more durable than its tiller."

The compilers do not here include the educational and religious institutions now established. These are of such an extent as to demand & separate article, which will, perhaps, be an agk'eeable surprise to the reader who thinks of making this country his home. There are two large fiour mills, one a roller mill, in full working order, and the other in process of construction. There are three saw mills one of which can work off 50,000 feet per diem and the other two probably as much more. In connection with these there are sash and door factories, so that all requirements for the present are easily met. Three doctors and five lawyers represent the legal and medical profession.

Prince Albert is incorporated and tajiation is low. Building lots have, so far, been sold at very reasonable rates, prices varying from $25 to $400 each according to situation. Real estate is very largely divided up, and almost every citizen owns more or less of it, most of the residents being occupants of their own property. Telegr?.phic communication was established here some years ago by the Dominion Government, and the telephone is in use in all the principal offices.

The country tri'.)utary to the North Saskatchewan has long been considered as unsurpassed in general ex- cellence by any other portion of the West. Travellers through that dis- tant region have invariatjly returned with the must enthusiastic reports about the country, and some declare that there is no part of the great West to compare with it. It is generally described as a "jv-autiful coun. try to look upon, and has the advantages of abundance ot wood and water. The fact that im|)ortant 3etllenunt8 have existed for years at eeveral points on the North Saskatchewan, w»)uld alone indicate that the country must have great natural advantages. It would require mord than the ordinary advantages to draw settlers to tho«e distant regions^ long in advance of railway conirnunicalion. -^Winnipeg Commercial, A c;rand vai,lev, tmk Saskatchewan — anotiikr valuable opinion Through there was laid down the original line of the C.P.R., and the pioneers who went tliere expecting that line, wnich was afterwards diverted, have never regretted their choice. Now that two or more lines are making through that rich section, before long we may expect a tide of immigration settling in there. It is a rolling country well dotted with clumps of wood, some of large ex- tent, and fully supplied with good water. It is both a grain and a cattle country and is not liable to severe storms and change of climate. The conntry is beautiful in its general appearance and well adapted to occu- pation by people of varitd tastes. Besides the general settlement of the country, there are several towns already in it with all the attributes of active business centres and only needing close and rapid connection with the outside world to become very important. — Colonist^ Prince Albert will have this connection during the present season. Practical men should see the advantages of making their locatiorjs or in» vestments at once. The sportsman and the tourist will find wi^^in our borders all tho keenest could desire. Game of all kind in abundance, and scenery which has already excited the admiration of the English and Canadian explorer, 28 STATEMENTS From a Ppactical' jp^A R,M E R. The following remarks have special reference to that portion of the Saskatchewan valley extending say fifty miles east and a like distance west of Prince Albert and from twenty miles north to fifty miles south cf that town. This area comprises 7,000 square miles, of which a part is under wood and water, but much the greater portion is land well suited for agriculture and stock raising and consists largely of still unoccupied virgin soil. Through the heart of this fine region flow two large navi- gable rivers, between which the Qu'Appelle, Long Lake and Saskatche- wan railway is now being built right into the town of Prince Albert. The prospective advantages of this almost unique combination of rail and river accommodation give an exceptionally favorable character to this arela, which embraces within its bounds large tracts well fitted for agriculture and other tracts equally suitable for stock raumg, while the bulk of the land is specially adapted for mixed farming, in which branch the great majority of the present settlers are engaged— experience having proved it to be safe, profitable and advantageous. Speaking generally, the actual farmers are in comfortable circum- stances and if every individual settler has not been equally successful, this will not surprise those who know how every new country attracts to itself all kinds, conditions and characters of men. Hitherto there have been great impediments to the progress of the settlement, arising from ' the state ff isolation and consequent litnitation to a small local market '• to which the absence nf laliway connection has condemned the producing "• '■'class, thus retarding development and checking expansion. But not- withstanding every disadvantage, it must be allowed that for those farmers who to the necessary skill have added steady industry, the result 29 J. O. DAVIS, IDJElir O-OODS; G-T^OOEORIES, R.

AGENT FOR CREELMAN'S STAR KNITTER has been in a high degree satisfactory and many have attained prosperity and independence from extremely slender beginnings. That such a result has been achieved in the face of ail the disadvantages accruing from long continued isolation very clearly shows the value of the natural resources of the district and fully justifies that faith in the future which is held by the settlers, as well as the most certain assurance that as soon as the advent of railway connection has removed its greatest disabilities, this settlement will advance BY LEAPS AND BOUNDS. It is between twenty and thirty years since the first settlers look up land near what is now the town ot Prince Albert and most of the present settlers have been resident from six to sixteen years and upwards, a length of tmie which has amply sufficed to prove that both agriculture and stock-raising are successful and profitable occupations here. With regard to agriculture, it may be said the methods of cultivation and machinery in use are the same as in other parts of the country. There is no system of rotation in general use, and summer fallowing is increasingly practiced with good results. Spring wheat is grown, winter varieties not suiting the climate.

All these varieties have done well, of course varying in yield with varying seasons. It is considered desirable to refrain from making a statement in figures as to the average yield per acre. This, at the best, would be but an approximation, there being no provision for collecting crop statistics throughout the district. Aj has beisn said, seasons vary, and besides this so much that is unreliable is published about averages year after year that practical men are not to be blamed for looking askance at figures which sometim^^s represent so much and mean so little. Judging, however, from personal experience in wheat growing over a number of years and observations made on such secticjns of the district as it has been possible to examine carefully, and comparing all this with the most reliable data obtainable from other quarters, a general conclusion has been reached that on an average <)( years the wheat raised in this district will favorably compare both as to quantity and quality with that grown in any other locality in the North West Territories. Of course the success or failure of agricultural opera- tions is largely dependent on weather conditions everywhere and no 32 1^ Prince Albert, the Ml of Sastatclieflan. 0. C.

I*^ this part of the Northwest which is entirely removed from the region of cyclones ^nd lornadoes, the weather conditions which chiefly concern the agricultiurist are the rainfall and early frosts.

Even now this is not so much of a bugbear as it once was. The frost, from which crops in Uter seasons occasionally suffer, recurs with considerable regularity and but little variation in date, and will be, in the long run, more tffictually provided against than if its occurrence were more erratic. With regard to the cultivation of oats and barley, it has only to be said that these grains are raised here just as easily and with as good re- sults as anywhere else, as practical men will easily understand from what has been said on wheat growing. Hitherto six-rowed or four-rowed has been grown, but the attention which in other parts of the Dominion is being directed towards the future production of two-rowed barley for export has not been unnoted here. Samples have already been grown with good results and were the Hudson's Bay outlet an accomplished fact, as much fine barley could be grown in the Saskatchewan Valley alone as would supply the whole requirements of Britain.

It is not claimed for this district that it i% safe or economical to winter out cattle or better class horses in ordinary seasons, although native ponies do wonderfully well pawing for tht > living.

Timothy has beert* grown here and there, but other grasses can scarcely be said to have been tried.

Shropshires also succeed here, as do those of mixtd breed originally brought out from Red River. There is no longer any room to doubt that sheep will succeed admirably here. , Y Pigs are reared by almost everybody, but not in such numbers as they might be. Pork is consumed chiefly in the fresh state during the winter, and large quantities of bacon are imported, there being as yet no attempt at curing or packing except for private use. This, however, will no doubt be one of the great industries of the future. The native race of pigs, which a few years ago was to be seen everywhere, has now been, 'in a great measure, supplanted by Berkshire and other improved breed?.

There is no line, either of pro- duction or speculation, that ensures a satisfactory return equal to mixed farming when undertaken by practical men, and no country tjnder the sun offers greater natural advantages, for this independent urcupationi than the district of Prince Albert. r : 4ft OUR POSITION. The Town of Prince Albert is very near the centre of the Provisional District of Saslcatchewan. This district takes its name from the two great r'vers which, descending from the elevated snows of the Rocky Mountains, wander with strangely varymg course till they find their out- let in Lake Winnipeg. The rich rolling prairie lands of the Saskatche- wan Valley, west of the forks, dotted throughout its whole extent by innumerable lakes and ponds, was formed by the rolling tide of rushing waters coming down from the lofty mountains from the west; gradually the higher lands became bare by the sinking of the water; lakes were formed and water courses worn away by the strength of the currents. On the banks of one of ih'jse great rivers the Town of Prince Albert finds itself occupying one of the most important positions within the Northwest Territories. It was established in 1866 by the late Rev. Jas. NiFbet, as a mission for Indians, and the church and schools carried on by that devoted missionary, and his successors have, in a great measure, assisted in the wonderful development which has here taken place. Enjoying all the conveniences of modern times; surrounded by th« richest of agricultural and timber lands; already possessing a large and Energetic population our future is assured and we can confidently recom mend our district as a most desirable locality for those seeking new homes. The great pioneers of civilization have long since been repre- sented here, and to-day no settlement can be found with'^ut its place of worship. Within the incorporated area of the Town, the Presbyterian, English, Methodist and Roman Catholic Churches, representing the four largest Christian bodies within the Dominion, have established them- selves and each own commodious places of worship where services are held weekly in each. 40 li ,. fir k^ if •■i 'M f 1 V ■ "J [1 4 .

This particular sect has done much towards the development of the district. The English church, established here in 1876 by the late Lord Bishop McLean, has been a prominent factor in our advancement. St. Mary's and St. Alban's churches are both commodious and substantial buildings have been erected and its missionary work is ably attended to by the Ven. Archdeacon J. A. Mackay, rector of St. Mary's and warden of Emmanuel College. Methodism, though not so long established as either the Anglican or Presbyterian denominations, has also become largely identified with our town. Substantial chur'^hes have been built and missions establish- ed throughout the country. The Roman Catholic Church, although coming in more recent time?, have demonstrated their importance by erecting churches and establishing convents in our midst. 48 rii, Ik- )I WM. Y.

Under the generous policy of the Territorial Government an efficient public school system has been inau- gurated. The two school houses of Prince Albert, the Centre and East End respectively, arc a credit to the town, and the teaching conducted in each of them is of the highest order. Both schools are full to over- flowing, and soon additional accommodation will require to be providec*. These two schools, built of brick, were erected at a cost, in the aggregate, of $10,000. A ward scoool has already been found u necessity, and during the present season another brick building will be erected for the accommodation of the children of the West End of the town. Educational work of a higher class has not !«een i«cglected. In 1879 the late Lord Bishop of Saskatchewan founded Emmanuel College for the education of missionaries and teachers for the missionary work of his diocese. It has been carried on by an efificient staff of professors since ihat time and has done a v;onderful work among the Indian and half-breed populations. It is, no doubt, the nucleus of an important institution in connection with the future university of Saskatchewan. 4ft H^Uh the e.rrenthn% of the HadHoa'H Itnn iJo., //<« Lnn/VHl Owner of Heal Estate iu rt'iiue Alhvtt, offtn'tf Businessand Eesidentiallots On Heunmunhfe lermnuf Painnent undot Luw FiiveM, West End Vi f ILLA kJlTEsI V ?

PHYSICAL FEATURES OF OUR COUNTRY. "Skirting along the valley of the North Saskatchewan from its source in the mountains throughout ahnust its entire length the lumber- man's eyes are gladdened by the apparent endlessness of the forests of pine and spruce; underlying which are coal fields far exceeding m area those in the east, and destined to keep the inhabitants uf the treeless prairies in fuel for generations yet to come. The agriculturalist has far to seek ere he finds richer or more productive soil than abounds here^ nutritious grass of the most luxurious growth will aff >rd sustenance for the myriad herds of the stock-raiser; iron mines await devel«)pmenf; the beds of all our streams abound in gold, while indisputable evidt-nct- iti forthcoming of the existence, in paying quantities, of silver, tin and lead; salt springs innumerable produce a finer quality of this valuable minora! than any of the now well known centres; gypsum beds, tar and petrole- um springs, and quarries of useful stone aie scattered over the country; while in the far north, as yet unpenetrated by civilizition, the fur trade is still prosperous. These are things which are known to exist, and when it is considered how long they remained undiscovered, it is l>ut fair to assume that a few years more will reveal other treasures, equally valuable, still hidden from the knowledge of men."— Win.

While our district ofTers inducements to industrious emigrants of all nationalities, the class most certain to succeed at this stage of our development are men of some means and practical farmers. To these our district offers inducementc which few other countries possess. Our laws are good; life and property as safe as any other part of the world; educational advantages unexcelled; bright skies; healthy climate; thous- ands of acres of virgin soil awaiting the settler; with ready markets for everything it can produce; a land promising wealth and comfort to the industrious, and while capital will here find a secure and profitable field for investment, the industrious workingman has a ready market for his labor, with a certainty of finding himself, within a short time, at the head of a clioice farm of his own.

You are asked to examine its resources, sroHT ly oun district. In addition to the many advantages already referred to, our district offers unexcelled advantages to the lover of the gun, and no portion of the North- West is more entitled to that much abused term "Sportsman's Paradise." Those who consider that the ideal of human happiness is attained with the rifli or the shotgun will here find use for both to their hearts content. Of game, large and small, there is a variety. Within the district are found, and in a!«undance, the bear, the lynx, the moose, and the deer, partridgc,prairie chicken, wild turkey, goose and duck. Taken all in all, with its great variety of game and beautiful scenery, there are few such grounds now open to sportsmen as are awaiting all comers in this picturesque district. tlQ i t I -W.STOBART&GO Indian Traders JlND General Merchants PRINCE ALBERT WM.

The actual settlers of Prince Albert District hope that the preceding pages of this little pamphlet have proved of interest to all who have perused them, particularly those farmers and workingmen of the over- crowded settlements of Eistern Canada who may desire to belter their condition by taking advantage of the larger fields of operation presented by the Vast Prairies of our Western Country, as well as all others who delight in learning of the Remarkarle Agrictltural, Mineral Timber and Fisheries Wealth of our Glorious Dominion. While we are satisfied that the Territories generally offer valuable openings for Capital and Labor, Our District possesses many great natural advan- tages entirely unknown in many of the most favored parts of the Dominion. It has thousands of acres of the richest Agricultural and Poorest Lands, Coal in abundance, an unlinjited supply of Pure Water, and all the advantages of Mills and Markets offered in the old established settlements of the east. Truly has it been said of Sas- katchewan, that while its richness has tempted hundreds oi practical nien to seek homes for themselves and their families, and while much has been said and written of its merits, comparatively little is as yet known of its Vast Resources. Thousands of acres of Virgin Soil still await development from the hand of the practical farmer, treasures in Lumber, Coal and Petroleum lay untouched awaiting the energy of the capitalist, and its rivers and great lakes are teeming with Salmon, Pike and Whitefish.
