IMPRESSIONS OF WEST
BY A. DECKER

Following the Assinaboine river for
$50 miles west from Winnipeg, we
stopped at Brandon, one of the best
little cities to be found anywhere. 1t
is model in many respects and is
rightly called The Wheat City. 1t is
inclined toward municipal ownership.
The wheat crop in this whole neigh.
borhood looks fine and is about II
inches high. Barley and oats will!
hardly average 2 inches high, but the
dark green indicates good soil and a
bumper crop.
The people are all strictly English
in all the business places, and to an
outsider it seems as though they
might secure some good pointers
from the southern people or the
people on the Pacific coast in regard
to sociable hospitality. A few blanket
Indians may still be seen around the
Hudson Bay Fur Company's trading
posts [ met three Souix Indians last
evening here in Brandon that claim to
have taken part in Clusters last battle;
they wore the feather bonnet and re-
minded one of thirty-fiye years ago.
There seems to be good hunting and
fishing all through this country,
prairie chickens can be found in
abundance and the rabbits are some
thing of a pest in places, while the
wolf and coyote are still an annoyance
to the stock men.
The weather is fine as far as bright
sunshine is concerned, but the air is
decidedly cool requiring an overcoat
morning and evening. The twilight
seems much longer here than in Wis
consin. Last evening the sun disap-
peared at eleven minutes to nine by
Grand Rapids time, found no trouble
in reading without lamp-light up to
nine-thirty,
For many years before the coming
of the railroad the Assinaboine river
was navigated by steamers up to this
point, but the Red river cart was
here long before the steamer; their
old worn trail passes close to Brandon
and an occasional mound is still
visible occupied by these early traders.
The view out from this city is one
of the finest that ever saw in any
prairie country. To the north lies
the limitless prairie with it's fringe of
timber in the remote distance, while
low in the valley creeps the winding,
muddy Assinaboine. Here and there
at scattered intervals are seen the
snowy tent and sod shack of the
squatter, from all the world over they
come. every nationality, and here
they are making homes with the sat-
isfaction that what little they may
have is their own, The business men
are very loyal to their city and en-
thusiastic over its future. One can
not help but to be favorably impressed
with the whole northwest, it certainly
has wonderful future. l go from
here to Vancouver this afternoon.

lions. The first impression .one gets
OF Winnipeg is that it is strictly an
English city: the second impression is
that it is prosperous and surrounded
by rich, progressive country. The
people one meets on the streets are
largely foreigners from every nation
under heaven, and not the better
class of foreigners if enc is to Judge
from appearances. Labor is not in
demand, the streets of Winnepeg are
thronged with idle men. Living ex-
penses are not overly high, excepting
rent. The Royal Alexandra hotel is
one OF the largest In the north and
one OF the best to be found anywhere.
A dinner that would cost 81 in Chi
cago costs about 6Oc here.
The weather here is decidedly cool
and if anything, too much rain for a
fat, level country.
This part of Canada has every pro-
spect of the best crop in their history.
