"A friend of the Independent
now in Winnipeg, Canada sends
as a pamphlet descriptive of the
great Canadian northwest. 1t con-
tains a great deal Of information and
is nicely Ill ustrated in colors. We
notice that the figures of John Bull
and Uncle Sam, side by side, occupy
prominent positions all through the
work. No doubt the Canadian north
west is a good locality and has made
a great development 10 the last few
years. We see no reason why its
soil should not be equal to that OF
the great northwest Of our own
country; also, we see no reason why
that section should not possess as
many drawbacks as this section,
| with the additional fact that it is
colder in winter and the season is
shorter in the summer. Providence
