Take a look over the city It stretches
out on, all sides for miles.. The new
shingle roofs shine brightly under the
winter sun, and we ca.ri almost feel the
paint of the suburban additions. Win-
nipeg is a grower. Even now, in the
wintert the seu,nd of the hammer i$
heard all du long, and buildings are still
going up by the hundreds. The town
prides itself oe its newness, and'indeed
much of it is set built. Over there at
the north, are ...iles of new houses. At
the south buildings aregoing up on the
e plains, and right beim us, in the heart
of the city, the business blocks have
risen from the ground since last sum-
mer. Winnipeg erected $11,000,000 worth
of buildings last year. , It built about
$9,000,000 worth. •the year before, and
$5,000,000 worth in 1901 All through the
past hve years it has been jumping, and
it is now leaping'abead like an Austral -
len kangercro., In 1900 the new buildings
numbered ett8, and in 1904 there were
'erected more than 2,000, '

roof, cuts it o.lmost, at right angles. .t
is. also part of an old Indian trail, which
extended from here a thousand miles
westward to Edmonton, a town now
reached by _three great railroad systenis.
REAL ES1,'ATE GOES UP.,
Main street has many old "buildings.
It was the first business part of Wirmi.
peg, being a King's highway, and, it
stilt contains the best business proper -
tie. Real estate along it has gone •up
tlike a ehot within the past five ,years,
and it is said now to be fully, as high as
in Minneapolis or Toronto. Storerooms
rent for from. $1,500 to $2.500• a year,
and you can bay a business front. for
less money in MontrearthArright here.
Notice the banks! Winnipeg is one ot
the linanciel centres of Canada. It has
thirteen bank , buildings, the Most of
them branches of the great batiks of
...Canada. They do a big business, and
they will compare in their appointments'
withablest any banks of our country.
The clearings last week were about
$10,000,000. This is just double what
they were in the ,same week One year
ego and three times .as much as they
were three years before. '
But we fly .ialorigup the street In our

on both sides of the stream in ,such a.
way that every -residence has a. back
