Western Canada as Seen
by a Noted Writer

Emerson Hough, the celebrated now
elist, who made a somewhat extended
trip through Western Canada, during
the past summer, grows enthusiastic
in his description of 1.-THE Last Best
West" which comprises the Provinces
of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and AL:
berta, as all other writer's who have
ever visited that great country. To
extract from what he has said we find
the following: -"
THAT black strip across the land
scape-it was not the shadow Of a
passing: cloud. but the record of a
plough! These yellow gray bands
we're the fields of stubble already reap
ed. These other bands of green. of
pale yellow, of deep bright yellow
they were the fields of wheat, among
which the binders were yet to do their
work! The centuries-old soil was
finding it's first upturned exposure to
the sun. Surely the plough had come!
There is no more thrilling experience
than this, of seeing the ancient will
derness just passing into the first loose
fingers of civilized mans occupation.
Here was the wheat, crowding up
to the trail, high as the wagon seat as
we drove through. At the edge of a
grumbling cow mans uaowned but
long occupied range, we reached down
and plucked off ripe wheat in hands
full, crumpling out into the palm the
full ears of triple-rowed kernels, mag.
nificent grain, the food which the
world must have-that grain upon
which the whole civilization of the
earth seems so strangely to depend;
for, when the wheat has come, civil.
ization has taken hold of the land
never again to loose it's grasp. One
who loves the open air and the wild
world cannot suppress a sigh of regret
at first thought Of the passing plains
at the thought of the dead romance
of the rancher; but, none the less

THE NEZPERCE SPIRIT.

The announcement from Nezperce
relative to the building Of the cleo
trio line to connect Nezperce to the
Northern Pacific near Vollmer is In
keeping with the developments an
ticipated by those who have kept in
touch with the situation and knew
OF the determined attitude Of the
people of that section of the prairie
ir the matter OF getting an outlet
for their products.
There is a spirit in this that may
well be termed the NeZperce spirit
1t has been manifest on many occa-
sions, notably in the line of securing
something for Nezperce. 1t was
shown in the support given to the
Lewiston and Southeastern electric
line, in the maintenance Of dis

public Importance. The peop'e gel
