During the week had opportunity TO see the vigorous
growth OF the young city OF Buffalo In the war OF 1913
IL was little village which the Canadians burned. and
its rival was York. Toronto was ia n called. Now
Toronto is said to have hundred thousand people,
while Buffalo has than two hundred thousand The
