THE NORTHWEST:
NOTES THEREON—THfNG$ AS :SEEN FROM AN
UNPREJITDICED STANDPOINT—" JORDAN A
HARD ROAD .TO TRAVEL."
HY Tun RDITOf.
During ;the months of March and: April,,
when the sun becomes"of more power and the
daylight lengthens, the people, aro compelled
to,wear colored glass goggles, and the horses
green veils," as the glare of the sun on the
snow is so' strong that if this .was not done
blindness would be, the result. During -a-
-greater portion of the'time the sky is, cl'ond
less, much more so than- further south; So
'that 'there. 'is a, more continuous period • of
Strong light. Every; one going there to re-
side should provide a pair of goggles, or they
may find themselves in the position 'of many
• of the early arrivals at Brandon, where a per -
loon who had •been a' resident' of the ,country
for two or three years, .took•the opportunity,
• when the snow blockade commenced, ; to buy
• up all the goggles and overshoes and at once
•reated a corner and re -sold athis own price.
It ham repeatedlybeen.published that'cattle
and horses can do well all winter on the open
prairie, but this is far' from the truth. It is
Ipossiblei that stock could get (sufficient fodder
to exist,, but they could not get„ water to
drink, and it is quite certain that they' could
knot live long• withoirt, water,'' There are set-
tiers who are so lost to all sense of honor and
honesty, and so utterly oblivious' of" all feel-
ings of mercy for"their stock that they will
let them range over ilia prairies=for their liv-
ing,during winter. They are thus enabled to.
steal hay from their neighbors stacks of hay,.
which aro scattered "around, as they • have no
barns, and the hay isstackedwherever cut.
In . our rambles over, the prairie " we •came.
across one such character just .north of Por-'
tape •la -prairie. We learned that his horses
and cattle weredyingof
star tion
Y
a and"
therefore went to view the situation. On ar-
rival `we went into a small sod stable, alm_ost
buried in snow, and surrounded by seven. or
eight stacks of wheat and oats, in which there
was a dead horse, another nearly dead, a dead
yearling heifer and a couple.of sheep 'with'
lambs.. Roaming around there were about
,twenty head of cattle, wine]] - ivect by• depre-
dations upon neighbors hay stacks: The,
cause, of the death of his 'cattle was shear
neglect, as: they, could neither. get water nor
food sufficient. •
• The isolation .of. settlers, caused by, their
t
akin p such largee tracts land will': be of
very.serious: consequences -to the country and
rising generation, a9: the residences ' are thus
ao remote; from. each other that schools and
churches become very difficult of construction.
and Sustenance ;_ in- fact, schools during the
winter, will bo almost out ofthe question, as
this -number that can attend will be vary limit-
e;d,.aud smallones not at all. Churches will
also; necessarily,: be-, far apart; and: thus a
danger of the population growing up with
the .lack of .education and moral training...
This isolation has 'also :another very serious.
side it—people unaccustomed • to frequent'
social • intercourse are less hospitable ;and.
Communicative than those who are; of -which
we hada trying proof. While tramping south
of, Brandon our party got used up and wished
to, rest through the night, and,' accordingly,
at the first 'house they came to, requested to
be permitted'' to •remain daring the night,
•without putting them to the slightest trouble
or inconvenience, and although they had
plenty of room, and nothing to fear, as there
were: two: Men in the house, we' were. utterly
refused, and had to tramp two or three miles
further, when we, came toa small shanty,
owned, by the son of a late lumberer at Ottawa,
where rest was obtained for the night.
The settlers -of Manitoba,. in consequence of
being occupied,' have not yet.take❑ •
Much thought as to their political position or
assumed any definite idea as to what princi-
ples would -bo to their -''best •interest, • having,
in, a„great-'measure-,;-,-separated :themselves
from'their former associations; but in::copse-
quence of the disallowance of the charter "of
the South Eastern; Railway they : have been'
awakened from their`, lethargy and they are
now' opening.: their eyes to the fact that if;they
are 'to enjoy the rights and liberties df a free
people, and the ;proceeds of. their own labor,
they must protest "'against and prevent' the
carrying out of ,measures that would'.place
them for ever.' under t.he weight of a crushing
monopoly,. They have found out: by a'. costly
experience that it will not: do for them to .de-
pend upon one railway,_or that` that railway
shall have such vast and unfair vested rights,
rind as a proof'thatthey realise theme facts,
meetings have been held at Portage la prairie
to discuss the question, and at these meetin-s
all united in protesting against the monopoly.
_Some; say the Syndicate was not wise in their
opposition to the'South Eastern, for. if th'y
had permitted its construction they would
have .pacified _the people and staved off a too
close'inspeetion of their business ; besides it
would have been a feeder for their western
line and no detriment to their eastern traffic,'
as,
they will have mor 'than
theYcan eoinfor-
tably'do during certain portions of the year,
till a double track is laid through. Minnesota
•from St Paul. •I
Blit few persons wonlajmagine_that` such
immense drifts of snow. would •be heaped up
in�_different;places on What appears to be a
level prairie, as really was the case this year.
Om -the -route -between -Winnipeg -and -Brandon,
may'.bo seen banks of snow, dng from' theirail-
way, eight and ten feet deep, and occasionally.
evendeepei'. This snow blockade is. going to
be an immense difficulty in. railway traffic ;
during a'blizzard it will be Stopped altogether,
and. on the cessation of the wind it will 're
quire a 'small army to re•open the road. and
ever after during winter•the cut become. the
receptacle of the drifting snow A good deal
ofi;thoughtleee talk has been"'uttered, abont
the constructionof a railroad -to the north of
lake Superior, to connect with the, Pacific.
That idea'may be utterly abandoned, for even
RIR were .built it could not be run .during
winter, for wherever there were cuttings they
could not be kept :open, for it is notlikely
that that.section. will be settled for very many.:
years to come and it•would .he almost im-
ossible to import enough men and maintain
Wein there to, do it. Canadian people may

times again when the farmers get through
seeding.
During the last few months three of
the most prominent churches have been
undergoing repairs. The Methodist church
of Canada has been thoroughly renovated
from top to bottom, and now presents a
very pleasant and comfortable appearance.
The Rev. Joseph Philp, of 73elgrave,
preached in the C. M. church on Sabbath
evening he discoursed on tho sufferings;
of Christ and ,the glory ,that should follow.-
The sermon was highly appreciated•., by,.
the large audience to whom it iyhs 'de
livered, '
The quarterly of the C.M. church
met on Monday. The returns from each
{appointment show -that the circuit is in a
healthy financial condition, only one ap-
pointment outof six having any defi-
ciency. The board passed a resolution
expressing their regret that they were so
soon to lose their present pastor, the Rev.
Livingstone, and thanking him for the
able manner—in which he had conducted
the Business of this circuit for the last
three years. Rev. Jos. S. Cook, junior
pastor, was invited back for a second year,

Since the appointment -of air: Davis as
Chief Constable, evil doers have had no.
peace, and his clearing the street corners.
of Sunday loafers is an action very highly
commended.
At. the, official meeting of the C. M.
church on Monday, affairs in connection
with the church were found to be in a gen-
eral satisfactory state. It is the'umvtrsal.
wish of the church ':

who has labored so efficiently in the cir-
cuit for two years, should return again.

pupils of Benmiller School took place last
Friday. There was a ''large attendence of_
visitors. .: Miss Patton's, room was examined
in the forenoon.. At noon eatables were.
passed' round, and of snch a quality that
shows that the ladies of Benmiller:know how
to cook and prepare a good healthy dinner.
After supplying the wants of the inner man,;
work was resumed in ,the senior. division.
The pupils answered the many questions in
such a manner which shewed that Mr. Steep
has been doing his duty faithfully: He is a
No. 1 teacher, and:the people ' of ; Benmiller
may feel proud of having secured his efficient
services. ; At the close of the examination
Mr. Morrish was appointed Chairman. and;
