The Editors Vacation

With this installment, these ran
dom observations by the editor on
his trip will be brought to a close.
che articles were written mostly on
trains or steamers, while the writer
was talking to a chance acquaint-
ance with one hand and looking at
the scenery with the other; hence
they are naturally crude and dis
jointed. They were not intended to be
regarded as finished productions,
but were merely jottings for the en-
tertainment of such of the readers of
the Telegram as might care to Pc
ruse them.
Winnipeg is the metropolis of
Western Canada, having a popula-
ton estimated at about 100000.
Somewhat to my surprise, it lacks
the hustle and hustle of towns of
similar size in the United States,
nor will its buildings or business
houses compare favorably with those

much business conducted, but ap-
parently in a staid way. I reached

lures. beautiful parks. ETC.. and |
