What They Think of Western Canada.

A party of editors from number OF
cities and towns of Minnesota recently
made tour of Western Canada, and
having returned to their homes they
are now telling in their respective
newspapers Of what they saw OH their
Canadian trip. The West st. Paul
Times recalls the excursion of the
Minnesota editors from Winnipeg to
the Pacific Coast ten years ago. Re-
ferring to what has happened in the
interval the writer says: > Thousands
of miles of new railway lines have
been built, and the development of
the country has made marvellous
| strides. Millions of acres, then lying
i'll their wild and untouched state,
have since been transferred into grain
fields. Towns have sprung up as if
( by the wand of a magician, and their
development is now in full progress.
