A Trip to the West, To the Bditor of TEE Poem Dean Sm, -As some readers of Tam Pon expressed a wieb to hear from me, I now give them the desired opportunity. We left Toronto on Aug. lath, 0 trains leaving that day for the Northwest where the golden harvest awaited the reaper's Mottle. Our train of 20 oars was compos- ed of second class oars, with four or five first olase ones, and my wife and I were so fortunate as to get Beate in one of the latter, as the 2nd class ones had just the bare wooden backs. From Toronto to North Bay is 227 miles and there we ex. pentad to change oars and get on the 0. 1'. R., but we did not have to do so for the reason that the latter had not one enough and had to borrow from the Grand Trunk. We were pleased for fear of having to fare worse. In our on were people from different parts of , Ontario and all strangers to ns, and as every person is supposed to carry a bottle of whiskey to kill the "mulligrubs" and all snob vermin, quite a number took advantage of the praotioe and carried two bottles, most likely to make an even balance, and I can tell you, Mr. Editor, that our oar was a jolly, lively one that afternoon and mobil 12 o'clock that night when they quieted down like a lot of babies who had cried themselves to sleep. At first the medicine was taken on the sly, next it was taken 6e Cod Liver oil and when the sup. ply they took with them was exhausted, at the next village they got a fresh con- signment and filled the rack with bottles. We had two violins in our end of the car and five who could play on them. Now in justice, I must say they were a jolly and good natured lot of young fellows. Sometimes the water tanks would get empty, then there would be a great de- mand for water. After being without this commodity all night when the train stopped the next morning a few individu- ate went to look for some water which they could not find, then one of the crowd more determined than the rest -undertook to go around the nearest house, find water or rouse the inmates from their beds. He could not find the aqua pure but tramped all round the house until he Dame to the front door which he found about shin/thee open and a shot gun presented at him. He didn't wait even to say water. At the next station some hundreds got out to have a run and look for something to drink, some of them did not seem partic- ular so long as it was web They could not find water but some of them found a cow on the track, where the train was standing then, a contingent ran and held the cow by the tail, i there held her by the head while two with bottles, one ab each side, milked bossy until they got their two bottles filled. The crowd was making considerable noise at the time, and rho owners of the oow, a man and woman, had their heads out of the hall open door apparently afraid to come any nearer. They appeared to think the COW as well as the milk would be taken. The train ahead of us contained excursionists from Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, and amongst them were some pretty rough ohareoters, Oe they looted a store and hotel, taking possession of both ; they took what dry goods and bottles of liquor they wanted without paying for them. Shortly after their train was wreaked and -two of them killed. This took the "loot" out of them pretty well and when they arrived at Winnipeg the leaders were ar- rested. At Dryden we beard of the wreck that was ahead of us, and when we 06000 to the plane we found a gruesome sight. Five oars were thrown down a steep em- bankment, one of them going to the bob.' tom and was smashed into kindling wood. Two men were killed and several wounded How any camped out of that oar is a Bur• prise to all. One of the party was four days in the same house with me and I asked him bow he escaped from the broken oar bat it was done so,quiokly he couldn't tell, Yours truly, AMU Bona, .

A very unique) feature in oonneotion with these blooke is the fact that in the mould. ing each is given its proper shape, wholly ready for the masons to put in plane without trimming or fitting. It is evi.. dent that two men can lay es muoh wall per day ea els men can lay of brink, In an interview with Mr. Layton we have learned that peninsular cement and the sand prooured here makes finer blocks than any plane yet tried.
