The Dauphin settlement is about 70 Milesi Distant from tie Manitoba and North we Terii railway there arc two or i might say three trails leading into one from Neepawa leading into the town in the immediate Vicinity of the Lake a on etch of the other trails the government spent Isab Emmer and i believe with Benefi cml results hut it will require the expenditure of it much larger sum Belore either of them can be considered Good. The Gilbert Plains have a wide reputation and Are generally spoken of As the Garden of though of co Rae there Are poor on Well a Good lands in the Lake Dauphin country the general opinion of both Tho new Comers and the old settlers As expressed by Thum solves is that they Are extremely fortunate in locating in a country to natural As does the Lake Dauphin Dia Tripoti and this a not to be wondered at if their statement is True that they Ore free from Frost one month longer a the year than any other portion of the pro Vince.

I think a great Deal of credit is Cine to or. La touche Tupper for having brought the natural resources of this most Fertile portion of the province 119 prominently before the Public through his letters published in the free press.

Small game such As Prairie chickens partridges wild ducks and it exec Ore abundant and in the kid aug and Duck mountains Largo game such As Moose Elk Block and cinnamon bears Are very plentiful. The Timber Mijong Tho streams excels any thing in the province and their Are already three Parmilla in operation. There a also a Good a rib Mill which supplies the settlers with flour. There Ore three churches nil it the protestant denomination Breu schools and Thren general stores also two Black Smith shops and two offices. And now n word to intending settlers. In the place prepare yourself for a rough and arduous journey going into tie Settle meet. Leave your store Clothee at Home especially your Patent leather Walters. Make up a party of four or five if Pps Dible and go prepared to Camp wherever night overtakes going alone go on foot on horseback or take a Good Strong buckboard and a native Pony As he will ick up living on the a settler should take a Good land before making an entry. Were this More done there would be fewer entries abandoned Aud no matter How much you can depend in Friend s judgment and advice own judg ment will always prove More satisfactory. Settlers in n new country Are always anxious to get neighbors and Are always willing to those looking for land and especially to give advice Tho latter through anxiety to get a neighbor is not at All times to be relied on and again i say examine the land carefully before making a a Eutry for it. It is preferable Eor a Man with a family to make a selection of land in the fall obtain Hia entry nud nut up build Cha suitable for his family and Giroffi Lieut shelter for bin Ilock and if Para ibo do some breaking and move his family in Early in Soring before the Frost is out of the ground. Oxen will be found preferable to Hora a for the first year or two. Where several Persona go together it will be found a Good plan to take along the necessary implements and having made a selection of land leave two or three of the party to erect Houssa Noblea etc., and Ruil.
