Western Canada and its Great Resources
The Testimony of Settlers, farmer Delegates and high Authorities

AND ITS GREAT RESOURCES. 23 NEBRASKANS PLEASED. [Winnipeg Free Press, Oct. 2nd, 1892.] An Address from the Delegates to Agent IL II. Smith. H. H. Smith, agent for the Dominion immigration matters in Nebraska, for some time past, was presented yesterday with the following address by the visiting Nebraska delegates before their departure for the south :— H. H. Smith, Esq., • Immigration Agent for Nebraska. Dear Sir,—We, the undersigned delegates from Nebraska, having come up under your charge, desire to say a few words, now that we are returning, in. regard to our trip to Edmonton. By close examination, we find that it is all that a farmer could wish for. Plenty of wood, coal, first-class land and plenty of good water. As for a stock country it can’t be beat. In. fact, for a mixed farming country Northern Alberta has no equal. The specimens of wheat, barley and oats and all kinds of cereals we have seen are beyond our expectations. To persons living so far south as we do, it is hard to believe that the chief nourishments of life seem to grow to perfection so far north as we have been. We desire to express our thanks to the Government of Canada for the kind treatment we have received through its officials, especially from yourself, who by your untiring exertions, both by night and day, and your tact and zeal have, and are inducing by your thorough knowledge of Western Canada, so many old Canadians and others to come back to Canada. As a delegation, we did not all expect to take land this trip, but we are all so well satisfied with the country that we intend to sell out as soon, as possible in Nebraska and make Canada our future home. Although Mr. John Samis and C. McLauglen, being on our delegation, are not here to sign their names, the fact of them having taken up land speaks for itself. Geo. H. Hanks, Creighton, Nebraska.

What New England men say about it. On the next day we started out in company with Mr. R. H. Mair, the Govern- ment agent at Prince Albert, to inspect the Carrot River and Stoney Creek districts, and we honestly believe that we are not exaggerating when we say that this is without doubt one of the finest, if net the finest country on the continent of America, as all the
