CANADIAN PRODUCES.

The Arrival at ST. Paul Last Evening of
the Manitoba and Canadian Northwest
Exhibition Cara Rare Lot of Products.
Last evening the st. Paul and Manitoba
train, arriving at the Union depot at 500,
brought in handsome car belonging to
the Canadian Pacific road, No. 344. This
car, which was quite new and handsomely
painted, bore the following legends artis-
tically disposed over the entire surface,
Montana Products," Dominion Exhib-
it's" canadian Northwest Exhibits" 'St.
Johns, New Brunswick Exhibition" A
GLOBE reporter at the depot, ever watchful
for news and new arrivals, who was admir-
ing the handsome Car, Yves accosted by a
Vail, line iooA.ug, courteous gentleln4n,
who wished to be put into COM
munioation with the superintendent
This gentleman, the GLOBE representa-
tive ascertained to be W. Clark, ESQ, of
Winnipeg, who, with Mr.. Keith, of Winni
peg, and Prof. Panton, was in charge of
the car. He explained the before men
toned legends by stating that the car con-
tanned agricultural products of every kind
from northwest and southwest Manitoba,
the land lying along the Canadian Pacific,
south and west, and the Pembina and Sell
kirk branches. There was wheat, barley,
oats, rye both in the straw and threshed,
peas, beans, corn, grasses, roots, vegeta-
Dles and every variety of agricultural pro-
duce-a splendid showing for fertile
and well cultivated country, as the GLOBE
representative knows the districts indica-
ted to be. There is wheat from Portage
le Prairie and the Cepelle valley, which the
writer saw growing-as fine wheat as one
need to see.
The car contained, besides natural pro-
ducts, photographs of picturesque domin-
ion scenery and some very fine architec-
tural drawings of public and other build
lngs, such as schoolhouses, handsome
business blocks in Winnipeg and the
government buildings in the park. The
car also contained specimens from the COL
lection of the historical and scientific de-
partment at Winnipeg, in fact everything
that could be thought of to make a good
and complete exhibit of the resources and
progress of Manitoba. Mr.. Clark ex-
pressed in strong and unmeasured terms
his appreciation of the courtesies shown
him by all with whom he came in contact
on this side of the line. He said that be
was surprised at and his heartfelt graft
tude won by the way every
one did everything in their power
TO facilitate the transit of
his car, first beginning with Consul Tay-
lor, of Winnipeg, whom Mr.. Clark de-
scribes as most obliging and courteous
gentleman. And then at st. Vincent
Deputy Collector Pierce, Mr.. Clark said.
was extremely obliging. and did every thing
in his power to prevent delay by irksome
examinations. In this he was seconded by
the depot agent, G. J. Gooding. Mr.. CLARK
says that he did not expect so much cour-
teous and generous help. The officials in
fact took all trouble Off his hands, and at
| every point he found people ready to lend
| their aid to the strangers from over the
| border. In speaking of this our Cana
| dian neighbor remarked: "There is moth.
ing which goes SO far in bringing nations
| together and cementing friendships be-
tween them than such large-heartedness
for officials" Railroads, he said, are 6
powerful means of establishing friendly
! relations and enabling people to appreci
| ate each other, but when officials are i'm
| bued with the spirit actuating those with
| whom he came in contact the power il
wearing away prejudices and establishing
! friendships based on thorough respect i:
thousand fold greater. There was nc
need of the gentleman seeking the superin
rendent, for while heswas talking toI the
GLOBE representative a railroad oficia
stepped up to him and asked if he were
the gentleman in charge of the car, and
being answered in the affirmative he stated
that he had made every arrangement for
the car to be transferred to the Royal
Route line without delay so as to proceed
by the 7:20 train. From Chicago the Cal
will be taken on by the Chicago & Grand
Trunk, the Grand Trunk, and the Inter
colonial lines to st. Johns, New Bruins
wick.
