W. R. KEEiEi,, Bator and Proprietor. TOWN OF EDMONTON. Edmonton is reached after a painfully slow trip. by train from Calgary from 8 a. m. to 7 p. m. At the time of my visit the leaves had just turned to autumn tints, the whole country presenting a most pleasing picture. There are two towns, the north and the south, and like the two parts of Macleod, are at oonstsnt rivalry. The north town ie very pioanr. esquely situated on the high bank of the Saskatchewan, from whence the view of the surrounding country is very fine. The railway terminus is at the south town, so to reach the north a drive of about two miles is necessary. This is, however, 110 draw.baok as one travels along a most beautifully winding road with trees on either side, up and down very steep bills amidst delightfally diver. sified scenery. A novel feature of the drive is creasing the Saskatchewan by the ferry. The evening of our arrival a bright moonlight enhanced the beauties of the place, lighting up the dark back, ground of bills, thrown out here and there in bold relief, oasting'long shadows from the trees across the trail, with occasional glimpses of the river through peeps in the thick foliage around us. When we reached' the river the "bus" drawn by four horses was driven on board the ferry boat worked by pulleys, and in a few mi❑utee we were lapded safely on the other side. To a stranger the crossing seems a great risk as there are no rail- ings on the boat, or anything to prevent an accident were the horses to become unruly. However the animals are either accustomed to orossing or prefer not wetting their feet as they stand very quietly the whole time. To show how large the boat is, on the return trip two "busses" and a man on horseback crossed at the same time. The north town is much larger, as it is older than the south. The principal buildings such as the Post. office, banks, etc., are substantially built, The Ohurob of England people are ereeb- ing a handsome building, which will be an ornament to the town, and will be son. seem -tea shortly. The R. 0. hospital, in course of erection, is to coat a large sum of money. There is a talk of an electric ear road between the two towns which will greatly promote the interests of the north town. The failure of the crops through heavy frosts (quite an unusual rt will bequite a pull- back in this a thing P P bark to new settlers There is no doubt that in the winter much suffering is ex- perienced amongst them, but this is greatly owing to mismanagement. When a settler lands in a new country with a large young family, without a dollar in bis pocket (as so many do here) it is no wonder if privation is his lot. It could not be otherwise as the best land needs to be prop+rly cultivated and no return expected, to speak of, inside of the third year. However, the people as a rule, appear oontented and prosperous, and notwithstanding the disappointments (whioh are common in all new countries) the future outlook for the Northwest is e, moat hopeful one. A ren of two hours from Edmonton returning and Wetaskl- win is reached, one of the thriving little towns on the route. It now boasts of about 400 of a population made np of all nationalities, French, German, Swedes, Russians, etc). The town is not older than two years, and already there are a number of stores, a neat tibiae postoffice, four ohurohee, (Church of England, R.O., Presbyterian and Methodist), substantial public school building, besides a very grand large hotel near the depot whioh will shortly be opened to the public. Al- together through the efforts of energetic citizens and the amount of traffic done on the road, there is no doubt that the little town is bound to go forward, and we pre- diot for it a great future. Getting help in the churches is an uphill work here, as in a new place the settlers find it bard to make ends meet in the family expen- see. The Church of England is slowly but steadily making way here under many disadvantages. The rector, Rev. 0. H. Andra., M. A., late Prof. Huron College, London, is a man with a large amount of energy and perseverance, and bas ,suoceeded doting a short time, in ereoting a neat church, with organ, eta., which was the other day dedicated by the Bishop of Oalgery, and whioh is built free of debt, The other towns along Sae line are Red Sea, Innisfail and Laoumbe. They are all holding their own, and every train brines an .increase to each population. Certainly a sight of the north country is a pleasant change atter the flat monotin. nus prairie about Macleod, and reminds one of Ontario, with its undulating land and pretty trees. There ie a quantityof game about there, 51101 as prairie chiok. an, duck, rabbits, bee -re, coyotes and foxes are frequently seen. The coyote or prair• ie wolf, is a -pretty creature almoet the size of a small dog, and howls and barks like a dog, making the nights lieeiy with its snook. Its fur makes a comfortable and pretty hearth rug. It is a timid an. final and will not attack a person, al- though when attacked by a dog it will fight desperately.

The "Sun" Under a Cloud, The following article, clipped from the Huron Signal, bears so strongly. 013 the East Riding of Huron that we give it in full : The nominal editor of The Canada Farmers'. Sun is George Wrigley, some years ago a school teacher iu North Dumfries, whore he became possessed of a history --but that is another story, and at present we will nob enter upon it, All that is necessary to state is that ho never was, and is not now, noted for his truth- fulness of statement or plumb demeanor. Since The Sun became the official organ of the Patrons in Ontario, Mr. 'Wrigley has developed into Is free lame, and from having been a toiling and moiling time- server in a London newspaper office, has taken on the air of a dictator to political parties, and assumed the functions of guide and philosopher to newspaper men in particular. If Mr. Wrigley merely in- dulged in these little exhibitions of big. headedness the politicians and newspaper men of this country could easily afford bo laugh at his monkey shines, but when he undertakes to bolster up his state- ments with falsehoods made out of whole cloth, and conceived only in the depths of an erratic and irresponsible mind, then it is time to cry a Balt. In his last issue he published the following : "And in reference to this, (the vacant registrarship fn East Enron), too, The Sum has a word to say. Because the editor of The Signal was named in these columns as an applicant for that position, The Sun is referred tows "aping the airs of an authority in West Huron politics." Very well : why should it not, since it was to the Sun that the editor came two months ago urging hie olaims as an in- dependent candidata to succeed Mr. Gib- son, M. P. P., if the plum should be giv en to him instead of to Mr. McGillicud- dy. The editor wanted the office, but if the member got the office he wanted to bacon member." Now, we tell the Sun to its teeth that the above statement is absolutely and de- liberately false, and the man who wrote it knows it to be false, and published it with the full knowledge of the facts. What ars lbs facts 7 On Wednesday of the second week of the Industrial Fair,. at Toronto, in September last, the editor of the Signal and a friend from Goderioli attended, and having occasion. to separ- ate, agreed to meet in front of the Patron's tent, as there were some 60,000 or 80,000 persons on the ground and some specific point where the crowd wasn't large would prove the best place of meet- ing. At the specified time, 2:80 p. m., the friend referred to and his wife met the editor of the Signal there, and The Sun, as Mr. Wrigley delights to call him self, was asked if the lady could be ac- commodated with a chair in the shade of the tent while the Goderich men went to attend to a matter of business. The Sun was pleased to be of service, and smiled upon all most benignly. He introduced the editor of the Signal to Messrs. Hay- cock, a - cock Mallory,and several other agricul- turists of eminence in the Patron der, but as the editor and his friend from Goderich were pressed for time, they out the interview short and went about their business. On their return The Sun. was still shining in front of the Patron tent, and intimated that he would be pleased to have a brief interview personally with the editor of the Signal, which was grant- ed. The following is the result of the interview : Mr. Wrigley, in the interest of the Patrons wanted to know, confidentially, if East Huron was likely to be opened. He had been told by County President Govenlock that very day that the riding would soon be vacant, as the member, Thos. Gibson, was desirous of taking the position of registrar. Mr. Govenloek had been to him (Wrigley) to pull wires for S9'uten'1 the nomination, but The Sun (Wrigley's l other name) told the editor of the Signal that the County President wasn't "knee high," although be had endeavored to tinkle Govenlock's vaulty by speaking highly of bis abilities before hie face, as he was a good enough fellow, after his fashion, and could be got to work well for the Patron candidate if he was Judi oiously handled on that line. Continu• ing, be stated that they wanted a candi- date andidate badly in Beet Huron as they were short of timber, and asked if the editor of the Signal could not bo induced to run as an independent Liberal, opposed to the present Government on enc plank only— the appointment of members to offices which became vacant while they still sat in the House. He said that there were thousands of the best Liberals in the country who opposed the preotioe of ap. pointing members to office, and that an East Huron, a popular man, who could take Ware of himself on the platform, run- ning as au independent Liberal and sup- porting the Government on every plank of their policy, except the one named, would sweep the riding, if booked by the Patron vote, whioh The Sun could secure to him, as, remarked that orb of light, "what We at this end say, goes, so far as the Patrons are concerned." In the event of being elected, the Government Could be given a strong support at the start and on every issue until the clues. tion of appointments carne up; and thea there was to be a cleavage. The Petrone would bring the matter up, as they were short of grievances against the Govern- ment, and as they would be supported by the Tories to a man, there would be a solid phalanx against the Administration, which could be stampeded if one of its acknowledged supporters bolted at a critical moment. Tho feet ie, said Mr. Wrigley, we aro short of men. Mr. Hay cook is a great man himself, but he has a lot of poor stuff behind him ; . there are one ortwo ordinarily fair men with him, but the remainder don't amount to chucks, and have not yet got over the surprise they experienced when they found them.

On being informed that the bemptiug offer could not be entertained under any consideration, The Sun, whioh is IbOr.

That is the whole story upon which" The Sun builds its little fiction about the editor of the Signal and the East Huron candidature. GEMS OF THOUGHT. Thebestway out of a disagreeable place is to do your duty. Advice is seldom weloome, those who need it most like it least. The greatest truths are the simplest, and so are the greatest men. We need not grieve too much over our mistakes if we are willing to learn from them. They are the weakest, however strong,' who have no faith in themselves or their powers. Every day brings to us some new les- son in life,' if the heart is willing to grasp it. The best way for a man to get out of a, lowly position is to be conspicuously offeo• tive'hs it. Itis not the -great things which we would do if we could that ivill count in the end, but the little things we could do 1f we would. Social life eau be sweetened and im•. proved by a smile and a hind word for. every one. This requires no great talent. It is the outflow of a generous, appre- ciative, responsive and kindly nature. Every pure thought and noble resolve, every act of duty and of love, every sa- crifice for principle, strengthens the pow- er of gooduees within us, and makes: it more certain that, when conflicts and emergencies arise, we shall not be over- whelmed.

Scott's Sarsaparilla the kind that cures. Indigestion or dyspepsia is the bane of thousands, and is one of the most de- pressing of afflictions. It arises from an impure or impoverished' condition of' the blood, which weakens the digestive and assimilative organs, rendering them in-` capable of performing their natural func- tions, andif neglected, the sufferer loses flesh, complains of exhaustion afterslight exertion and becomes rapidly debilitated. Mr. 1m. W. Thomason, a prominent resident of Zephyr, Ont., in a letter dated Aug lath, 1895, says: "It gives me great ppleasure to testify to the fact that Scott's Sarsaparilla has caused a most remark- able change in my condition. I was so much run down I had to give up work and felt as if life were not worth living.
