H. McINDOO'S. WESTWARD HO 1 (CONTINUED.) ) Moose Jaw to the mountains we only find the pioneer fanners in small groups here and there at intervals of two or three hour's ride. An English Agricultural Company established several farm stations along this plain, but with doubtful success, as the farms are neglected and most of the houses vacant. The want of moisture iso the great cause of failure. The country, while retaining the chief characteris- tics of the prairie, becomes, as we pass along, more broken and rolling, with numerous ponds and lakes in the ciepressions. We saw 110 trees during a ride of one hundred and twenty miles, not even a bush large enough to shield. one from the roast- ing sun and scorching wind that prevailed the clay we , crossed this weary and desolate plain. Lakes become more frequent, some of which are salt ; some are'alkaline, but most of them are clear and fresh. Wild geese, cranes and tetany varieties of duck, as well as many other water fowls, find their home in this district. The prairies are reti- culated with buffalo trails, where the noble animals were wont to follow each other to the watering rendevouz, and many buffalo wallows are seen around the watering points. here and there are seen bleached skulls or other bones of the late "King of the prairies," but now these animals must be looked for in the far north, where they are called the "Wood Buffalo." Hour after hour we roll along with very little change in the solitariness of the scene. We have gorges we catch glimpses of glaciers,. serrated peaks and vast. pyramids of euriously contorted and broken strata, We see here and there a 'mountain stream, clear and cold, leaping and roaring down the gorges and dashed into spray upon the rocks beneath. At 7 o'cloek on the morning of the 21st August we ar- rive at. Banff, • where we intend to stay over, :And from. this place we will be heard from again. MAC P. DOf1'stLD.. (TO nB^CONTINU1;1n.)
