These machines, loaded on Oat ears, or standing like batteries of guns wait- ing to be shipped,' reminded me of the South African war pictures of shipping guns and ammunition to the front. There is just as much hustle here. At the sta.. Lien, all along the line, are more ma- chines waiting to be unloaded, and empty box cars are being collected on the std• lugs to maim the crop out. Everybody says that it is to be a bumper' crop this year, and bigger than ever before. What. you can see from the train ,certainly looks good. They have got cutting well under way now, It's funny the roar the towns out west advertise. You frequently Came to towns where sign hoards have been erected at the stations telling of the advantages the towns have to offer settlers, Back at Port Arthur they had an attractive little one-story brick building, what is called a kiosk, tvhioh is a bureau of in. formation. At Port William there was a big sign: "Part William the Pulse of the Dominion"•, the bulk of East and West traffic passes through this town." Thera is another big sign there, but there is so much crowded on it, and the print was so small that I could not reed it from the train. Indian Bead is another place that advertises in this way. On one side of the track Is the sign: "In. dian Bead, Saskatchewan's Beauty Snot. Good land. $20 to $60 pei• sere," Across the track on the, other aide is a sign which rends. "Dominion Government forest nursery, 480 acres, one mils from: town: Distributed annually, 3,000,000 trees free to settlers. Visitors can inspect at any time." ton would "think that If these towns wanted to advertise they would do it in Ontario papers. 05 course, thousands of people read the signs by the railroad track, but by the time they see them they have tickets to their dee• tination and are not likely to stop off. Out from Winnipeg the country is as flat as .t table, and the horizon is as straight as the edge of a ruler. It sur- prised me to find out that between Wintil- peg and Portage La Prairie, which is Oftyslx miles west, there is a rise et 105 feet. Portage has a population of 7,000, and 1s quite a town, .and one of Manitoba's pi•incipaI grain maaketa.
