E. Cohen, for the past twelve years a resident of Johannesburg, Transvall, 
S.A., who reached Edmonton with his wife and son about six weeks age 
and promptly took up land in the Peavine prairie, and who has been in the 
city a few days this week purchasing a home keeping outfit and also cattle, 
leaves again for his new home today. 

During his stay in the city he has done some good settlement work for the 
section in which he has located, as there go back with him Mr. and Mrs. 
Knight and young son, who arrived at the immigration hall from Kansas 
last week. Mr. Knight is an agriculturist of some means and is taking along 
a span of horses and some implements.

Mr. Cohen's bright picture of prospects in the Peavine section has also 
induced Carl Loanhardt, Henry Schneider, Yoric Jacob Venner, Geo. 
Vennner, Jacob Venner, Christ Schneider, Henry Schneider and H.K. 
Loanhardt, a contingent of eight ex-residents of Scaratov. Russia, who 
arrived in the city on August 13th to take up land in that neighborhood, 
and they are leaving the city for the northwest tomorrow. The eight are 
Germans by birth, but moved to Russia some years ago. For the last twelve 
months they have been working in Chicago, where the wives and families 
of the three first named are at present stopping, but who will come on to 
Alberta as soon as their husbands locate. Henry Schneider states that 
they have come to this country to examine its agricultural possibilities and 
if they find it desirable place to settle there are close to a hundred families 
at Saratov that will emigrate to Alberta next year.
