Fkiend Libk: Just to let you know we are all alive thought I would write a line or so. We arrived in the golden West in good condition (physically) and so far ahead of our expections. We had a yery pleasant trip, the por tiou from the Soo to Pt. Arthur boing across Lake Superior in steamer Mon arch was by far the best. People gen erally have the idea that this largest body of fresh water in the world is al ways rough but during our 26 hours on it there was not at any time enough swells to rock a canoe. Harvest is only commencing here and it promises to le a profitable one for the farmers. The general estimate is 25 bushel of wheat to the acre. It Is a common thing to see a farm house worth from 4 to 0 thousand dollars and land worth from 30 to 40 dollars an acre. This is something werth meu tlon when we know that 2o years ago it was a wilderness and the best of it was only worth two or three dollars an acre. The city of Winnipeg has over 100, 000 population and is increasing very fast. Heal estate is very high and ne wonder with oyer (500 real estate offices inacitv of this size. A Hat that, would rent in Chicago for 130 a month would rent for $60 or $70 here. Of course everything is accordingly high the common laborer oo the streets gets 25c an hour. The C. P. H. depot Is a place of at traction these days where 5000 farm laborers a day are coming in from the east and th-.r farmer who can't offer $'2.50 a day and board will have to do his own ork. In conclusion will eaywe are going to locate permanently at Brandon a lively town of 12000 just 135 miles west of Winnipeg on the main C. P. K. line and only time will tell what our suc cess will be. It is pleasant to think that should we fail in one undertaking the govcrment waits ready to give us each 160 acres of ttie best land in the world free of charge. We occasionally ee the old emblem, Stars and Stripes and it looks pretty much homelike yet. The only mean trick we have had played on us yet was by a customs officer who made us pay $1H.20 on our typewriter Hoping everyone in East Jordan is enjoying good health we are as ever Respectfully yours. Crescent A rt Co . Hrandon, Manitoba. P. S. Just, another very important item. Enclosed find $1.00 for one fttfl subscription to the Charlevoix County Herald. J. A - Caulder. "The Clay Baker" i Above play which appears at Love day Opera House next Friday evening is a powerful Character Drama. Its scenes are laid in Chambersburg and Mont Alto tin famous Pottery or Clay Baking fields of Southern Penn sylvania. The play deals with the ex periments of Peter Denig, an old in ventor who has striven to reproduce unbreakable pottery and who in his moment of despair, when his enemies have apparently triumphed over him after they seek to steal his invention and he has starved himself and fami lytakes hisold Army Musket and is about to commit suicide, when by ac cident, he discovers the Secret of Un breakable China. There is a love story or two; the machinations of designing men; some clean, clever Comedy fur uished by excellent types of the quaint country folks and mountaineers of Southern Pennsylvania. There are sidelights and shadows which make the Clay Maker one of the greatest of American plays. There is about it the atmosphere of Romance the nat ural and the beautiful. The sweet simplicity, the rugged honesty, the quaint comedy, the peaceful quietude with the two old folks at home, place The Clay Baker first In the rank of Plays depicting the lives of quaint aud honest rustic folk.

"Shooting the Chutes" over the biggest artificial cascades in tho world is the favorite pastimo of Chicago. Shouting and Inughing throngs descend the glistening cascades with the speed of the wind until their gay gondolas Splash in the lake and glide swiftly forward on foam-crested waves to a placid harbor.
