We also .saw numerous samples of timothy hay, which could not bfi beaten for quality. Mr. Maloney left Manitoba in the year 1880, and, after being on several locations, finally settled here nine years agoâprincipally on account of the facilities offered for the education of his rising family. Land of similar quality to Mr. Maloney's can be i)ought in the district for from S4 to S5 per acre. On leaving here we went to St. Albert for lunch, and afterwards proceeded to Edmonton by a circuitous route, going down the Sturgeon Eiver for a few miles, and cutting across country. The land on the south side of the Sturgeon Kiver below St. Albert is principally occupied by half-breeds, and some of it is the finest I have seen in Canada. We passed through parts of the original prairie, where pea-vine and wild vetch formed a pasture as thick as clover in ryegrass at liome. I should imagine that stock would fatten on this in a very few weeks. Land for homesteading round Edmonton cannot be got nearer than 10 miles, and in some directions further away. A great number of settlers are arriving every train day, and the country is settling up faster than any part we have yet visited. All the people I have met are happy and prosperous, and are looking forward to a bright future. I am of opinion that a person with moderate capital would do better by purchasing land here partly improved, than going far from town to locate* on a homestead. ,. CllOlTtKH rilKESHINa.
