lhe city vi SASKATOON - Sibudbeu
upon both banks of the South Sss-
katchewan river as we quickly learn
as our auto glides quickly over the
business portion of the city in which
we landed from the depot and then
takes us over into the main resi-
dental part of the city across the
river. There are five bridges over
this river and they plan to build
more. The greatest of these is the
one near the University and is called
the University and costs 5000, QUO.
When we first go over 1t its slick
from the recent rain and our driver
tells us to watch in an hour or so
later how quick it dries out as he
sees the clouds are lifting and it
was even so, "a thing which charac
terizes all this Western Canada coun.
try. In one place we got our shoes
freshlyshned wet ia watering place
bnt remembering the quick drying
atmosphere. merely let the water
drops alone for a few minutes, when
they were dry enough and we brush
ed off the dust and still had our
shine on the leather.
The river is pretty deep down in the
high bluff banks. The University
bridge is high one from bluff to
bluff and has four out of ten arches
having spans of $50 feet One of the
bridges is rather low on the residsn-
tial side of the city and calls for
steep climb up a graded hill or else
a swerve round by the side of the
river along the lower levels where
some beautiful residences stretch
out, one of which is pointed out as
the home of the former mayor Who
had this addition developed. Its
free of street car lines. the ow0ers
being all automobiles swels. + Is
mayor lost his only son in the r
and of course his life is s.lddet,"
thereby.
A delightful luncheon was givCr
us at the noon hour in an episcol !
liam old church house which Is sli +,
retained on the grounds near tie
modern edifice which their congre.
cation has builded. Here we were
also given some fine speeches both by
Canadian welcomers and our respon-
ding orators. A visit through their
great University grounds was rev,
citation to many of US who had not
even heard of Saskatoon before the
trip was started. Even our presi
dent confessed in his wrteup OF the
trip to that. This University is
young in years but has a great de
velopment And best of all the,
have a great reserve of land. plan.
for which are already laid for cree
ion number of different feeder
colleges.
AS we drove from the Bridge Il
he University grounds our car hos
pointed out lone dog cabin son til,
0ne-room square shape order which
be stated was the place where tn,
famous half breed rebel who led tn,
last Indian Instruction years befor,
was captured, after he had skulket
back and forth over the river for
number Of days being hid out b,
friendly ones, until the troops final,
located and surrounded him here
lie was afterwards hung for treason
AT the University, or Agriculture
College part of it, we saw in thei
bara OF choice stock about one of tn
biggest bulls ever grown on thi
continent. He was black and short
horned and made a peculiar below
like an enraged lion and tried t
hook some of the party over hi
stall wall; he was so tall, and long
he reminded me somewhat OF an elt
plant instead of a COW beast. Thi
