What They Think of Western Canada.

A party OF editors from number Of
cities and towns Of Minnesota recently
made a tour of Western Canada, and
having returned to their homes they
are now telling in their respective
newspapers OF what they saw on 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

fields. Towns have sprung up as If
by the wand Of a magician, and their
development is now in fun progress.

1886 to 1867 between the colonies Of
Maryland and Virginia on the one
side, and that of Pennsylvania on the

Jeremiah Dixon. who were two Eng.
