A. w. LEE AND FAMILY OF THIS
CITY HAVE ENJOYABLE VISIT
IN WINNIPEG, CANADA.
Rapid Growth of City During Past Few.
Years a Remarkable Thing in Mum
e'pal DeveIopment-city Twenty
five Years Ago.

During visit in Winnipeg, Canada
lew days ago. A. w. Lee Of this cit!
recalled an interesting romance that
occurred twenty-five years ago on the
occasion of his first visit to that city
when he became acquainted with the
young woman who afterwards became
his wife, During their recent visit,
Mr.. Lee and family were extended ev-
cry courtesy being met at the depot
by committee representing the press
and escorted to the principal points OF
interest in the city.
The Winnipeg Free Press published
the following interview with Mr.. Lee:
Mr. A. w. Lee a we'll known Iowa
newspaper publisher with his family
is at the Mariaggi, en- route to Banff
and the coast. Mr. Lee is president Of
the Lee Syndicate of Iowa evening
newspapers, comprising the Daven-
port Times. the Muscatine Journal and
the Ottumwa Courier, three of Iowa's
best and most widely circulated news
papers.
Winnipeg is a WONDER" said Mr..
Lee to Free Press representative.
Indeed its growth during the past
thing that I have ever seen in NUM-
cipal development. I visited Winni-
peg rs years ago in June and have
not been here since until my arrival
yesterday. l can scarcely realize that
it is the same place. Then there were
scarcely 5000 people here, the Canadi-
an Pacific road had not been com
pleted into Winnipeg, there were no
bridges across the river and the only
railroad station was at st. Boniface.At
that time however, was impressed
with the future possibilities of Winni-
peg and in letter which wrote for
publication in an Iowa newspaper, l
expressed the belief that large city
would some day be built here. did
not expect to see it in my life time,
however. but find that it is already
here after only Is years and I am
here to see it, and to note with deep
interest the still vaster, indeed 1t
seems to me almost unlimited posi-
bilities for the future. sincerely be-
lieve that Winnipeg will be the Chi
cago of Canada

Picture Books Fo. sore,gners,

Picture books for the benefit of rav.
elers are kept in the Paris police sta
lions. 1t frequently occurs that for
eigners lose things which they are un.
able to describe, because of unfamil-
iarity with the French language. The
picture books contain representations
of various articles, and the inquirer
has only to turn the leaves and point
out the illustration which most re-
sembles the property he has lost.
