We have been hearing all along of the
indications pointing to an open winter.
Here is something OH the other side
from the Winnipeg Times: A number
of letters have been received from the
otter trappers of Hudson Bay. All write
that TIE fur on the seals and other
animals that have been trapped is long
er and thicker than it has been for many
years. This, the trappers say, is q sure
indication of a cold winter, for nature
provides the animals in the fall will,
coatings suitable for their protection in
the following winter.
OuR esteemed friend, Mr.. Tweedl;e,
was conspicuous by his absence this
week, while the can.assing board was in
session. But was it anybody's business
that he chose to remain away from town
at this juncture, even though nearly all
the other candidates were interested
spectators? No, but the misfortune rs
that his political associates, who worked
like slaves for him, now almost to Il man
denounce him as u traitor. Certain it il
that in some places where he got a heavy
support in the recent election he is now
AZ fr.endless as the man that plays All
acco, deon. Such is life to the man that

"ONTARIo" writes from Kingston to the
Emerson international as follows in re-

In considering the lnisfortunes of En,er-

in Ontario, it is evident that the city is
like ship which a strong tide has car

East aud West, st. Vincent and Peinbina
will grow into one large and prosperous
city. The ordinary course of things
would effect this, but there are extraor-
binary factors in the problem, chief IT
which is the monopoly clause. Railways
can come to the Boundary but cannot for

are they likely to come? To Emerson.
Two or three railways will come up the
vest bank of the Red river, through,
Dakota, to Pembina and Emerson. This
will give competitive rates and draw trade
to the city. AS soon as the monopoly
clause has expired or is abrogated there
