A Chatty Letter From
Saskatoon, N. W. T.
To the Lrdltor 01 Tan POST:
Dean Sea.—Ont on this beundlesp
stretch of prairie my thooghta oft revert
to the many friends I have left behind
and in order to give them & clearer idea
of this town in which 'have pitched my
tent I thought of sending a little article
to your most estimable paper.
Saskatoon, thin wonderful town of
mushroom growth, and second to neve in
the Want, stands on the left bank of the
Southern branch of tbe Saskatchewan
river, abont 90 miles South of Prince
Albert and 160 North of Regina. A few'
years ago the present site was marked
only by the waving prairie grana with
bare and there a straggling hoose under•
mined by the skillful badger or more
persistent gopher.
When two years ago men'e eyes were
at last turned to this as a vary suitab e
plane for n town, the population did not
exceed 150 souls, while naw itis estimated
at over 2,600. Indignant at the mere
thought of its inability to proceed
further Eastward on a0000ut of the
river, the town has turned end is stretch-
ing iteelf to the Weat where a rich
harvest of level, virgin soil beckons it.
Where in this vest isometry could a
better site be found than that occupied
by our progressive little town 7 With
the migbty Saskatchewan madly rutting
onward between towering bauke thiakly
wooded with white poplars that stand
out against the darker background like
sentinels not deigning to away either to
the right or left, but always maintaining
that ataielineee so characteristic of
their close.
Spanning this father of Western waters
is the railroad bridge 1000 feet In length
and bearing marks of a history which
old and young of the town may alike re-
late. Laet Spring, when the river wES
swollen to ite greatest height, large ebeete
of tae came tombiine down, caught the
middle pier with a death -like grip and
berried it and the three centre spans
down to a watery grave. Pedestrians,
who bad jnet stepped off the tottering
epan,tarued and looked down into the
yawning abyss and then amass tbat
apparently unsnrmountable chasm to
their friends on the only remaining span
on the opposite side. There being no
traffic bridge, for weeka and weeks people
nod goods oroaeed on the ferry wbloh
plied busily to and fro. Oarpentere,
however, soon repaired the damage and
now a temporary affair is in nee which
shortly will give place to an immense
steel structure, railway and traffic com-
bined.
Let anyone who two yearn ago poised
through here enter the town again today.
What does he see e A flourishing town
pith wide streets and up to -date side-
walks, tidy resldenaee and tastefully
decorated stores, Meeting a former
aogaaintanoe on the street he is taken in
hand and after enjoying an excellent
diener at one of oar modern hotels is
invited out "to sea the town." Houses
and etoree are apringing up everywhere,
each vietng with the other as to outward
appearanee and inner comfort. Cherishes
whose presence above the real progress of
a town, ere four in number, with a
prospect of a fifth. A fine fireball and
Commit Chamber combined ie m worse
of constraotion, the building like muny
others 10 town bring of Dement block,
whioh material in manufactured here.
The moat imposing building, however, is
the Public School, which stands at the
North and of the town. It is built of
red briok and has an attendance of over
200 pupils. There are five teaobers on
the etaff, four of them being from
Ontario, AS in the towns of the East
So it is here, all the work from the
Primary to the Junior Leaving being
taught.
The town being situated in the heart
of the great wheat growing distriot is
fast beooming the Obfoago of the West.
The grain, whiob in some parte of Mani-
toba and the West has bean thio year
blighted by rant, is in this vicinity a
splendid harvest. Home seekPS'S aro

60 to 160 miles away drive to in great
wagons to do their marketing. An these
journeys quite often take days or even
weeks, they provide themselves with
aovered•wagone in whinh to sleep, or else
tents which they pitch on the prairie
when night bag overtaken them, One ,
day recently a esttler and his daughter
drove into town with two large wagons.
They had driven 200 miles to boy their
Winter euppliee and expected the return -
trip to take them about two woelis.
