NV DEAREST MOTHER:
Here we are safe on the shores of
he Pacific once more, ready to set
sail for our distant field early Monday
morning. We were more than glad
TO reach here this afternoon about
four, as we had had very dirty ride
across from Winnepeg. We were very
much disappointed in the appoint,
ments OF our train; the sleepers not
being as fine nor nearly as clean as or.
linary Pullmans, while the dining car
service though not bad, was not so
nice as one would expect from th.
elaborate advertisements OF the superb
equipment of the Canadian Pacific.
In short so far as service is concerned
one can be quite as well suited in
America mean in the United
States, on any one of several transcon-
tinental roads and especially on
the Northern Pacific they say, as on
the much pufed Canadian Pacific.

said to be the finest vessel on the
Pacific. So far as I have met them the
officers seem pleasant, and the Chinese
boys who wait on the table and attend
to the state rooms are smiling as usual,
so if sea sickness does not lay US low,
l think We shall enjoy the trip, We

everybody is in good humor and hap
py to be off. We shall make stop
