the Reflector every week.'as itsseems
like a letter from home, thought
some of our Kansas friends would
like to hear of our long trip north.
We we're delayed in starting TIL April
16. We left Canton. Kansas. at
o'clock Tuesday evening, arrived In
Kansas City, Mo, at 1880 Wednes-
ay morning, and for one thing we
are sorry, we had to travel across
&, native state during the nignt.
On arriving in Kansas City we en-
tered the union depot, where we be-
ing strangers in the city, thought It
hest TO remain until morning About
o'clock we took the elevated car
to the emigration bureau to obtain
our emigration certificate and rail-
way tickets. After doing a little
shopping we returned to the union
depot again to take our train Which
left at l O'Clock. Leaving Kansas
City we Travelled in an eastwardly
direction along the Missouri River
to Moberly, Mo. On one side was
the Missouri river, on the other the
high, rocky and thickly wooded
bluffs. The soil through the Mis-
souri, valley though seemingly to be
very fertile was Of swampy nature
as the fields were drained by bitches.
The Missouri river was very high at
this time. You remember why II
was called Missouri, It surely re-
called 1t to mind on seeing IT then
as our Irl said 1t looks thick enough
to cut" We saw numerous steam
boats alongside its banks, and quite
n number of coal miners also along
its banks. When we reached De-
witt it was showing, and continued
.till some time during the night. AT
Brunswick, Mo-, we passed tile
kiln. Il stood as high as the ordinary
flag pole.
We had travelled nearly two hours
through Missouri before seeing the
proverbial Missouri mule. After that
we saw them in large numbers In
pastures, grazing as the grass seemed
quite good. We changed cars at
Moberly, Mo. We waited an hour
there, leaving at $40. We crossed
the state Of Iowa during Wednes-
day night. Thursday morning found
us in Minnesota and crossing level
stretch OF country which was made
more attractive by many shade trees.
We noticed small school house
set among a grove of trees and not
a house or building in sight. An
other school house which we saw
where the upper and lower panel OF
the door were broken out, also
part of the jamb. Now 1t appeared as
IL either the stove or teacher was
elected, a circumstance which never
occurs in Kansas. Through Missouri
we saw numerous springs, beautiful
lakes and wooded hills. In central
Minnesota the hills were covered
with cedars, tall, straight and beauti-
full, around the springs were stones,
blue, red grey and yellow. over which
the clear water dubbed and trick
led. The country from Moberly, Mo-,
to the western part of Minnesota
was covered with blue grass which

In another TO magnify IL The rest
OF our journey was completed FRI
day night so did not see any Of the
province OF Alberta.
We arrived in Calgary early Sat-
urday morning. My brother met US
at the depot and took US in his car
TO his fine home on American hill
from where you can see over the
entire city. Calgary is now q city
OF $4,000 population. From here
can be seen dozen schools, public
schools and colleges, and there are
more which cannot be seen from
here, and six more public schools to
be built this summer. There are
number OF manufacturing establish
ments such as the Case Threshing
Machine Co. Massa-Harris Plow Co.,
Deere Pillow Co., several factories
and many fine churches. There are
many other places of interest and
Importance such as the Canadian
Pacific railway shops, etc. The city
has many additions or suburbs which
we can see from brothers. home on
American hill, looking across to the
city to the north to Pleasant heights
and to the east over the business
section of the city. The Hudson
Bay trading post which was estab-
lished in 1870 is still doing business
in this city and are now remodeling
their store which on completion Will
have forty departments. And that is.
only one of the many large depart
ment stores. Calgary is q city Of
which each citizen should be proud.
Looking to the west we can see Park
dale where we are now building
home. The street car passes our
door to the business section which
is about three and half miles. AL
though we have been here but
short time we like it and think 1t
will be a nice place for our Kansas
friends to come to.
The city is built in a large fertile
valley on the sides of which are high
bluffs. on which the most beautiful
resident portions are. Bow. river
runs through the city from east to
west, beautiful stream of clear
water with gravel bottom. The banks
have cedars and Balm-of-Gilead trees
with here and there a gooseberry
bush and wild strawberries quite
plentiful. One familiar plant we
have seen quite frequently is the
dandelion which grows quite large.
From American hill we can see the
snow covered mountains in the dis
lance, which to a Kansas is quite an
interesting sight. AS I think this
is sufficient to convince you this is
fine place. and hoping some OF
the many Dickinson county friends
may visit our city and us.
