shows that the wave a prbsperity
which has been steadily rising ior
drat years is still growmg higher, .
The reports some time since from Ote
taws, of the trade pgures for the year
ending Juhe• 30, showed thee during
that lieriod Canadiv bought in the for-
eign markets goods to the value of
nearly $$0,000,000 in excess of the pre-
vious year, while our sales abroad were
about 1/45,000,000 more than the previ-
ous e ear.
And the customs •returns • do not
show[all the business transactions of
our people, There is an huniense vol-
ume of domestic trade that cannot be
soleasily tabulated. But evidently' we
are just as busy buying and selling
among ourselves as we are in dealing
with the people of other eountriA, .
• A11 classes are prospering. That the
manufacturers are doing well is shown
by the difficulty they find, in filling or
• ders. .There seems tbe a greater de:
naerid for their goods than they ean
supply. Mechanics are doing well, for
there is work for all and good wages
• Laborers are cloing • well -the only
trouble being that there arenot enough
• to do tbe work that has to be done.
Farmers axe doingevell, itis estirnat-

More Joitings from the West,
DEA.u: MinT0e4, -After leaving Win-
nipeg I took.the train foriVIiimeclosa-a
side trip -where I spent a night with
old Hanover friends, I was driven out
6 nines to cell on Mr. P. Evans, vvhose
wife is ci, daughter of Mrs. Rudd, of
town: They are very comfortably sit-
uated ; good fawn, good building:4 and
splendid crops. This was my first
prairie drive,and it was very enjoyable.
Wide roads, in some instances pretty
winding, with flower:border beds (in
the natural wild state) on either hand
between as and the wonderful grain
fields ; end ever and anon smiling little
lakes to cheer us on our way.
Frons this I landed at Brandon on
Friday night in the Midst of it terrific
thunder dorm, and put upat the im-
perial hotel, kept by a, man who is re-
lated in sonie way to the 'Judie's of
Goderich township. I inacle a call at
the Experimental Farm, which is in
charge of Mr. N. 'Wolverton, whose
first wifeaVas my niece: Brandon is a
beautiful city, the moresa for•situetiote
and neatness 1 have yet seen, and ,the
surroundings are magnificent. The
farm le really a novel in the expierneen•••
tat line, and the 'soil first quality. They
have been tilling and cropping it for 17
years, without any manure, and even
now can hardly keep .it poor enough.
They haye raised, by applying the
best known scientific Methods, as high
as 135 bushels of oats to the acre.
Mynextstop was Iridian Head, where
I spent -a profitable Sanday, Here I
was entertained, at the parsonage:
which is occupied' by the Rev.F:Woot-
on, Whom I.married to a niece of mine
./7 years ago. On Monday we droVe
,out 13 miles to Katepwa Lake, which
is situated in the beautiful Qu'Appelle
valley, The high, banks on either side
of the lake, with tents •and dottages
dotted here end there along shore,
rendered the scene quite pietureeque.
.We lunched and rowed, and had a run
in a gasoline launch. But al ! me,
when sve evere out a long distance, and
had started home ward our eb gine balk-
ed, and we were compelled to row and
peddle our canoe beck, Leming a spade,
which the boat carried, Indian Head
is•acknowledged to be thettlecca of the
great west for wheat, and our road to
the lake lay through one of the veep
best belts. A lovely country and fields
of ripened grain as far AS the eye can
reach. Fields, die I say ? yee,. if you

are ten elevators itandlan'Head. We
left there this lamming at e o'clock
and are now some 300 rxiiles further
West. We are timed to reach Calgary
at 3.30 in the morning. There 1 stop
off and go north to Red Deer, se, good-,
•bye,
I am writing this on the way froto
Edmonton to Red Deer, August 25th.
After leaving IndianHead on Wednes-
day morning we passed through.. a
large section of unbroken land. How-
ever, we found thee it was said to be
one of the richest and greatest ranch-
ing countries in the ,worldwith Medi-
cine Rat as a centre. The town has a
population of 4000. It is :situated in
the beautiful valley of Saskatchewan,
with natural gas for fuel and. light pur-
poses, and is the largest shipper of
ranch products in Western Canada,
• At Calgary I turned aside mid took
train for Red Deer to visit one of my
boys-rtey. A. C. Farrell, who is the
minister in Charge and chairman of
the district. I found that his district
meeting wee on, and was askeclto give
some reminiscence concerning the con-
ditions of the work, when I started.
They were all youngish mei), and were
rather surprised when I said that the
