through thie country at present, is
eseily convinced of the necessity of more
railway a000mmodation. Atter losing
two nighte' sleep by the way we arrived
in Winnipeg noon.' hours late and have
been staying there with my good friend
P. D. McKinnon until Wednesday, when
we mune up here arriving at 2 p. 01.
To anyone who knew thie country well
