I met yesterday Mr. Taylor, the American
consul at Winnepeg He has been there since
1870. When he arrived in Winnepeg the popu-
lation was three hundred; now it is twenty
five thousand. The Canada Pacific Railroad IS
running SIX hundred miles west of the place
Engish'and Scotch capital Is abundant for the
development of the new Canadian Northwest.
Speculation is rampant, but it has the solid
basis OF Il fertile country reaching clear to the
Rocky Mountains. Like orr Dakota and Mon
tana country, this vast region is all good for
something. The land which viii not grow
wheat will pasture cattle. Mr.. Taylor says he
has seen fine samples of wheat, oats and barely
grown on the Peace river, 1000 miles north
west of Winucpeg and 1900 miles from Chi
cago lie thinks that the Saskatchewan coun-
try viii prove better than our Yellowstone
country, because Of more rainfall in summer;
but believe this advantage, if it really exists,
viii be more than cOuRtcTbalauCed by the
colder winters, which viii cause heavy loss of
stock or heavy expense for housing and feeding
the cattle, which must he the chief resource OF
the region. However, it is evident that there
is going to be a large population in Manitoba
and the newer territories beyond just being
organized by the Canadian Parliament. Ehey
viii be separated from the United States only
by an imaginary line running across the plains.
These new communities belong to US by their
geographical position. They are separated from
Canada by five hundred miles of rock, forest,
and morass Their natural road TO the sea IS
by the great lakes and the Erie Canal. Their
natural trading points are st. Paul and Chicago.
The mouth of the Red River of the North
should be in the United States as well as the
mouth Of the Mississippi. Let Mr.. Blaine go
up to Dakota next summer and ride across the
international boundary line half dozen times
without knowing where it is, and he viii be
convinced that the direction OF his patriotic
and wise American policy should be towards
the great fertile Northwest, and not towards
South America and the lies of the sea.

was speaking about this little incident when
One eyed Zeke gave utterance to the words
which open this letter. He glanced toward
the subject Of his remarks with an express
sion very much akin to loving devotion in
his single eye, and then began to tell US the
history Of Cougars long and eyentful life.
Although what is known as an "Ameri-
can horse" Cougar was born wild and on the
plains. One day about twenty five years
ago One eyed Zeke was following an Indian
trail along the Neuecus river. He made
dinner camp on the bank Of the river in
grove of cottonwood trees. a herd of wild
ponies were feeding near by, and among
them was Young American mare with her
fca. The colt was gamboling about its
dam. and Zeke, noting his splendid form
and beautiful color, determined to capture
him. He knew that if he should kill the
mother he could soon run the colt down,
and raising his rifle, he took careful aim
and fred The mare dropped dead, and the
suddenly orphaned colt, with shrill neigh
Of alarm, began galloping around the body
of his dead parent. The rest of the herd
stampeded The colt started to follow, but
seemed 10th to leave the mare, and before
he really made up his mind what to do the
moose of Zeke's lasso frightened around his
neck and he tumbed over on the plain.
"He war ther most furious leetle devil
ever seed," said Zeke, "an' fought me like
er Young grizzly. Hit war two solid hours
work to break him, but l finally tuck some
ov ther cussedness out'n him, an drug him
back ter camp with me. wuz sorter took
en- with the leetle devil jest on account ov
his meanness, an for erbout three Vars put

Cougar would make fortune for show

that Zeke says to him and can perform more
diverting tricks usually taught educated
horses" than any animal ever saw, such as
walking on his hind legs and suddenly re-
versing tine position without losing his bal
