New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1900-09-05

But aside from the novel experience
found in passing over the rapids. there
is enough to interest the tourist as the
shores and islands which are passed car
ry one into dreams of fairy lands. ~..,.
After a whole day of this we reached
Montreal in the evening. The scene had
shifted, up to this time we had been en-
tranced in the works and beauties of ma
ture; now we turned our attention to the
handiwork of man and most excellent
opportunity was afforded us in this me-
tropolis of Eastern Canada. The Great
Victoria Jubilee Bridge across the st.
Lawrence river was one of first things to
engage our time; we viewed the great
cathedrals aud churches of this city of
churches. Montreal is at the head of
navigation on the river and its inhabi-
tants look fondly forward to great fu-
ture for their city. Our next of interest
was Quebec, that quaint and curious as
we'll as historic French city by the Plains
of Abraham. One day was spent here
and in the early evening we bid the iov-
ial Frenchmen who had been our escorts
and entertainers dnring the day regret
full goodbye. Early the next day we
invaded the city of Ottowa, the Domini.
on Capitol. This is modern, enter
prising city and we profted much from
the few hours we spent there. This city
and its sister city, Hull, located across
the river, lately suffered disastrous fire
which destroyed its valuable lumber
mills. Ottowa is situated IN the midst
of very rich lumber region and has an
almost unlimited amount of water pow
er. have not taken space to say in
what manner and how we'll we were en-
tertained at all the places we visited, by
our Canadian Cousins. They seemed
much pleased to meet US and their ac-
ton, attention and pleasant courtesies
testified more than words could do to
the kind regard they have for us on this
line.
Although the loyalty of the Canadians
cannot be questioned, yet it was quite
apparent that they are in favor of an
early obl1teration from the map of the
line that now divides US. We saw an
abundance of at least fairly good land
which is as yet uncult1vated and we were
impressed with the fact that there is yet
on this continent vast stretches of tilla-
BILE soil yet untouched by the plow
There are great possibilities in various
lines within fhe great Dominion but it
will require many years of toll to bring
the eastern portion of it to the front as a
paying farming section. 1t tappeared to
US, however, that the farmers who had
settled there were doing we'll and were
prosperous. And if they prosper fnan-
cially there is certainly no reason why
they should not be contented, for
although they live under hereditary
monarchy yet the enjoy practically the
some constitutional rights and guaran-
tees that are vouchsafed to ourselves.
The benifcent wings OF the common law
spread over them and shield from in
justice, while home rule gives them a
voice in nearly everything affecting their
interests.
1t is probably unnecessary to chronicle
the fact, yet will say, for the purpose
of rounding out this short letter, that all
the members of the party returned in
eight days from the time of starting and
all were we'll and much pleased that
they were editors or had at some period
of their eventful careers been such.
