The Madison daily leader. [volume] (Madison, S.D.) 1890-current, 1895-11-25


over here on a vacation. He has just
finished trip to the Pacific and back
and is resting in New York among his
old friends.
He is proud Of being in parliament,
and especially Of having been elected in
q great London district, with only 10
days in which to make the canvass
among the voters II can't say it was as
hard piece Of work AZ I ever did, he |
says, "but it had its annoyances.
"In your journeys ON this side have
you been lecturing or pleasuring?'
II am resting" said Mr.. Stanley,
"and the two months and half that l
am enjoying away from my duties are
the first real rest have had since
reached manhood, the first period in
which ! have not had something to do
for somebody else. l have just made a
trip to Montreal, then west to Vancou
yer and Victoria, to Seattle. then down
to San Francisco and Los Angeles and
back by the way of the Santa Fe rail
way Ny parliamentary duties closed in
September, and as the season in Europe
had ended ran over here to see that
part of the British dominion which l
had not seen before-Canada.
"The first thousand miles westward
Il mean that vast tract of woods and
rocks and water that seems to feed the
great lakes-you found uninteresting?
I suppose it is Of little value. " Thus
spoke the interviewer.
"No, indeed" said Mr.. Stanley, who
seems to have been again discoverer
in that part of Canada. THAT rugged
woodland country north of the lakes
seemed to me to offer sites for millions
of homes The ideal of busy business
man would be to summer in place
more congenial than the near neighbor-
hood of the city, to live in a grove be-
side lake and to satiate his eyes with
beautiful prospect of water, wood and
rock. Consider what money has been
able to make of Monte Carlo. In its
neighborhood you may see any number
of places that show what it was. Yet it
has been made most complete place.
Up there in Canada a man may have a
lake of his own. Sir William Van
Horne says there are thousands Of them
not pools, but winding lakes Of crys-
tai water, swarming with fish, where
you may enjoy fishing and hunting amid
the most perfect settings of wood and
rock. The region is quite accessible to
your leading cities. From Ohio to New
York your people may reach there in
ten hours at the latest. Your tired bust
ness men, rowing and casting their eyes
about, could not find more delightful
region ON the globe
"What do you find to be our progress
in railroading?"
"There," said Mr.. Stanley, showing
, that had opened a fruitful topic. "Al
