TRi Winnipeg Free Press urges
that a commission be appointed to
get at all the facts hi connection -with
the Manitoba school case. It says it
believes "that if a competent and
impartial commission were to say
that a, grievance existed and ought
to be removed, the sense of
right which is strong in the people of
Manitoba, would insure in the end
that justice is done."

A Past one,
The following in reference to a rase won
by Messrs. Beattie Bros'. trotter, " Wancht,',
we take from the Cleveland Leader of
October 4th: "The result of the first heat
of the 2.23 class trotting, purse 0600, the
last race of tho day, was a surprise to the
spectators around the pool bozos. Fannie
S. sold favorite at even money with a field
of trine against her, and the entire field
finished before she jogged under the wire.
The heat had another sensation in it. A
14 to 1 shot, Wanda, a bay mare, owned by
Beattie Bros., had tenth place at the start,
and after the, pole had been Iost by 3. G.
Newcomb, 'Wands. walked to the front rui
the back streteh as though the other
speeders were at a standstill, and landed
the heat in 2.101, with Minuetta, a Cleve-
land horse, second. The only contest of
interest in the second heat was between
Wanda, the pole, and Minuetta, who
finished second, in the first heat. The two
horses trotted side by side around this
entire stretch, and the only time when
there was any danger that another trotter
would. be a factor in the beat was when
Fannie S. came up at the quarter, but she
souldn't ataxia the speed and broke.
Wanda won, with Mintietta second, Ring
Buzz third, and Tannic S., the favorite at
the beginning of the race, passed under
the wire fourth. The result of the heat

accepted as an indication that it was

we see well tilled farms, with cone
fortable houses peeping out from
among the trees, which give them
shelter from the storms of winter
and the beat of seamier. Upon the
north of the river the country is fiat
and is only adapted for hay. As we
proceed westward, we perceptibly
reach a higher altitude and the
country becomes checkered with
farm houses and luxurious fields of
ripening grain. Fifty-six miles west
of Winnipeg we reach the thriving
town of Portage La Prairie. This
town has a population of over 4000
inhabitante. Its great elevators,
big mills, comfortable and beautiful
residences, busy streets, substantial
business blocks tell the story of thrift
and progress, and also indicate the
agricultural capabilities of the
country of which it is the commer-
cial centre. The " Portage Plains "
have a reputation for fertile soil and
comparative freedom from frost, and
therefore the land is held at a good
price. We spent a few days in this
neighborhood and was highly pleased
with what we saw and learned of the

The erops in every part of Mani-

The average yield of wheat on the
"Portage Plains ". will be in the
neighborhood of 36 bushels to the
acre. This faet, I learn since my
return, from farmers in that section.
The estimated yield from the province
is 30,000,000 bushels of wheat and
30,000,000 bushels of coarse grains.
Three million bushels will feed. the
people and twenty-seven millions
will be sold for export.. This Will
realize at least $13,000,000,, which
will he an average to each of the
25,000 Sarniers in the province of
$1300. Besides this return from
wheat, they have their oats, peas,
barley, flax, rye, butter, cheese anct
cattle in addition. From these
sources large sums will bo realized.
The profits of this year will indeed
be a bonanza to the farmers of Mani-
toba and will stimulate every avenue
of trade, as well as relieve the
province of much of its private debts.
The above is a good showing and
testifies to the great • agricutural
