To the Editor of Tan Pos0: Demi 8m,—As the holiday season is again over for another year, and to occupy my spare momenta, I desire to write you this letter pertaining to this city and Western 0oontry. This afternoon I had Occasion to visit Calgary's latest big industry, the 0010 abattoir and cold storage established by P. Burge ds co. The commencement of operations a few awoke ago at the abattoir means the passing of yet another milestone on the road to Cal- gary's the successfuleindustriesof rl01 which yt%y e are city can beset, there is none whioh seems more adapted to the surrounding d101110t or more at home in Alberta, so to speak, than the enterprise which Messrs. Burns ,k Co, have recently added to their already enor- mous business. The slaughtering of tattle, sheep and hogs before shipment has been found ranch more 0000000100i.00312011011 more 00080n10nt than shipping in crowded care for long distances with its unfavorable expense and ;noon-. veniece and 1,71.1 in the future be generally adopted. The establishment of an abattoir in Cal- gary was found by Mr. Burns to bo nee00eary for the success of hie business, with the re- sult that there exists in thio city today an abattoir of which any city might well be proud. Some time this Sommer the firm-purchas- edthe buildings and ten aures owned by the Canadian Land and Ranoh Co, sada once sat towork to 0onstruct and equip a large cold store, capable of holding no less than 4,000 meioses of dreeeed beef. To the original buildings, which were 80 x 50 feet, have been added a new building 800x 00 feet and a power house GO x 60 feet, large pig pens, capable of acoomodating 0,000 hogs, have also been constructed, as well as commodious sheep pens, stables and other out offices, the whole 0oyerin30 an area of ten acres. The walla of the building, whloh is put np under the Molloy Cold Wave eystom, are two feet in thickness and the whole strac- ture is metal covered. Inside there aro overhead tr0ak0 on which to run the esr- 000000. It is interesting to know that these tracks if laid in a straight line weal exoeed nearly two miles in length. In the .abattoir itself every arrangement is as near per- ' feation asposoible and the eight wasone whioh, though somewhat gory at times, could not but make one feel that Alberta had at last secured an industry of praotially illimitable scope. Ina corral, adjoining the abattoir, were. %bunch of G60 prime Mears which stood around plinking lazily and alto- getheruneo0siona of the fact that 1n a few short hours they would forma half 000tion in an array of dressed beef. At an appointed algae five of the beasts above mentioned were driven from the corral through a chute until each one found himself 48olated In a pen just large enough to contain him and high enough to prevent his getting out, A single blow from a heavy hammer right in the centre 01 the head causes the animal to fall in moat oases dead; the swing doors at the side of the pan are unbolted and the body falls through In- to the large room where the but0bere are ready to receive it, Should fife not be ex tinct the ant stop is to make it so, after which the knife of the butcher is brought into execution and almost before one can realize it the body is skinned, the head , feet and innards removed and the 0010600 is hoisted en the blook where the process of skinning is completed, To every one of the many men emloy0d is assigned hie owe 401110ular ea ty. In the groat warehouse there is no confusion, yet every step le taken so rapidly that one can- not help but feel surprised. As. soon as the dressing is completed the floor is cleaned again, and Avo others are brought du and 'so continued hunt 119 bead Of either oattle, sheep or liege are slaughter- ed dimly the year round.

Following is the ath0Oda000 at eobool for the month of January : MeeEue2oa,—In order to fulfil my promise to you ere leaving Bruasels, I now tate the liberty to furnieh you with a few items as regards the eou0try I am 830.0 eoj008010g iu. By the address you will noti00 that I am still in the Hoosier State and am very glad to say that I am regaining very rapidly my former good health. My intentions are to leave bore sometime next month for a post graduate oourse. Mishawaka is a city of some six thousand inhabitants and ie a great manufacturing centre. It would be; a boon to Brueaele were we able to trans. plant only one of her loanstris e to your 10riving village. Two of the larger mann• factories here pay out in wages, per week, over twelve thousand dollars. The poo• plc are very enterprising and work in these factories is afforded to any one who wishes to work. Wages are about the same as in Canada, being about 12,} to 15 o00ta per hour to an ordinary laboring man. The observance of Sunday is not strictly adhered to and you will agree with me when I relate to you some things I have seen and notified while here. Iu a buoy time some of the faotoriee ran in fall blast on Sundays ; in foot they work whenever there is work to do. Last Sun- day while oat taking a "constitutional" walk, I happened to pass by a new school building and heard the oarpeoteredriving nails to beat six of a kind, Passing a Wolter shop o0 my return, I heard the 0a0sage machines going at a terrific rate, the botcher telling me the next day that he had made several hundred pounds of 000eeme on that occasion. To see people moving on Sunday is a common oo0ue. ramie, some go out hooting, fishing and others indulge in other sports. However, I must admit that some people go to church bat I fear this 01008 of people is in the minority. A few weeks ago I saw an addition to a house put up, a keg of lager -bear being supplied to quench the thirst of the williug lands 9.11C1to 'Aima late the oos'cienae (9) of the Sabbath breakers. The law here is as etriot as in Canada, but is not eoforo.d so well ae in our Proviuoe. Apparently any one wish- ing to work on the Sabbath day oan do s0, as anti OS he does eat Cause t,10 mach noise or disturbance, at any rate no 000 seems to butts 40 about it or 0ae inter• feren08. It ie fru•, that soma people here reepeot Suod2y 00d appear as much de- voted a, people in our Canadian oitiee, but nevertheless a "Caouok" capitol, help to bo somewhat ahooked to obaerve such matters as 1 have jest re,0ted. When you. remonstrate with eome of these people, their on y reply is that this is a swift and buoy oountry and that the work must be completed whenever called for. They say you Caaadiauo are too elow and too pious. The other day a "Yank" hod the braes to tell me that the Canadines ace as slow as the seven year year old Stole ; and that the Englishmen are still Blower, so Blow in foot that they oemnot overcome those ehort•legged Dotohmeo i0 South Africa. I did not have a olab with m8, but felt very much like administering a "solar plexus de Fitzimmoas." Well, dear Editor, not wishing to take 0p toe numb of your vaineble space and for fear my epistle will be too lengthy, I will now draw to a 0000lasion. Do not forget to forward TEE Pose regularly, as we are always looking for it. In my next letter I will endeavor to give you a description of South Bend, a very important city three miles from here. I 0m a frequent visitor to this city, having two well equipped hospitals there. Yours truly, Da. F. H. KansemiI0Cn. Mishawaka, Iod., Jan. 29th, 1900. 110021 NO.
