To 71110 EDITOR OP Tail] "ADVOCATE,"
SnR:—Since readinng,:the description
of your trip to the Sunny South, I
thought that a few lines from the Great
Lone Lands might be interesting' react -
tug to your many subscribers.
My observations differ from yours .in
as match as I have beery an actual resi-
dent, for: the last fifteen years, and
have experienced the advantages and
disaldvantages of this part of Canada,
the history of which is short and . still
unwritten, but whose future will be
the future of the Dominion.
Your description is of an old land
with a past but interesting history, and
was given after a hasty glance at the
most favored locallttfos.
North-Western Manitoba is included
in what is known as the Park Lands
of the great fertile belt of prairie in
Canada and may be fully deserlbed by
saying that "they stretch in airy 'un-
dulations far away, as if the ocean to
its gentlest swell stood still," and this
prairie is intersperse.' with c'umps of
timber. The soil is very fertile and
easily worked, the virgin lands yield-
ing luxuriant grasses, which serge as
pasturage ord hay. Abueclance of
good water is easily obtained
l'he lands which i Asa above the prair-
•
ie a few hundred feet are designated
mountains and are heavily timbered
with spruce, tamarae and poplar, from
which ear supply of lumber has been
obtained, During last winter two
million feet of lumber and seventy
thousand ties were taken out on the
Bird Tail limit in this vicinity.
These are some of the advantages
which 000)314 induce people to settle in
this part of Manitoba, where we also
enjoy free and equal institutions of
every kind. Our municipal and school

markets of the world. The rates at
present being very oppressive. For
IUstance if a farmer raises 100 acres
of wheat, the railroad coepauy gets
the prcceeds of 40 acres for carrying
the crop to the sea board.
And then the unjust tariff! But as
we differ in our political opinions re
spectiug it we will leave it to the re-
vising body at Ottawa and I think
they will in time see their folly of tax-
ing us so heavily for the benefit of a
few manufacturers and not in the in-
terest of the country, as they receive
no revenue from uta although we pay a
price and a half for most necessaries.
Our climate, you are doubtless aware
is magnificent. We experience more
sunshine here during the year than in
any other part of Canada. And al
though the thermometer may rise high
in summer the gentle breezes ever
blowing temper the heat. And the
winters are pleasant although cold. I
will not say that they are cold, but we
do not feel it as you Ontario people
treat that saying, as an old chestnut,
but I do say that although cold, the
dryness of the atmosphere prevent the
chilling effect of the cold. It is not un-
usual to have four months during win-
ter in which the thermometer never
gets above freezing point.
Nosy Mr. Editor these are some of the against 1t,
Cxreenwav, adyantages and disadvantages I' have Muchmore might be said but I will

The number of County wards now

per gaoler's report.
According to present appearance, and
judging from past years it will cost the
County and minor municipalities for
those only who would bo tit subjects
