BEAUTIES OF THE sKAsIr.
II have been making q short cruise about
A. sound and am delighted with what |

THE SOUND AHEAD OF MANITOBA.
Altogether Puget sound is superior to
the Manitoba country. Here you not only
have the advantage of a close market by
rail. but you have facilities By water. In
Manitoba the people are hampsred in get

there raises everything be needs-eattle.

wants, he wants TO get a little money and

ts must ship. and here is where the disad-
vantage lies. You are nearer civilization
here.
TWO NATIONS As ONE
From the impression. of bis tour OF the
koand Lord Brassey driftsd of TO political
ssss;ions and said:
Il am much interested in bringing about
feeling OF fellow ship between Englsnd

such pleasing condition of affairs should
rot exist. do not see why England and
America. the United States. should not

These two counties could WELD q powerful
fsFce, q force that no opposition could

not desirous Of annsxing any more coun-

He was reminded that he had the reputa-
