The Prairie Metropolis.
Mr, Robt. Haxby, a former well
known e.nd highly respected reeid-
eat of Seeforth, but who has resided
in Winnipeg. Manitoba, for some
years; in vritIng to The Expositor,
gives the following interesting par-
timilare regarding the growth and
progreea of that city. He says:
Ree lots of old Seaforth friends
here and they all See= to be doing
well. 1 ofteo think I would like to
pay a visit to my old home. and
‘hrope anon to do so, but it will be in
simmer time when I can seat the
country in all its spl•sndor, and not,
when t he most of people from here
go, in the Winter time, for your
winters of late seem to be a great
deal worse than ours here, Winni-
peg is getting to be „a 'great oity.
The buildinge and imprevements that
are going on no one would bailey°
•unless they were here to see. It is
marvelous and the building goes on
all winter. Just think of it, the .ther-
mometor Away down below zero,and
men up on 4,5, and 6 story buildings
laying brick • and stogie, and workbag
east as though it were summer. My
business keeps me outside, all the
time and I am all ever the .eity,
therefore, 1 -can see beater than some
what le goleig on. There are some im-
mense exelevations • being dug and
foundations'\ being made and jots of
them just started. • If some of our
Seaforth frieeds could see the im-
mense building that the T. Eaton
Co., of Toronto, is 'putting up on
Porte,ed a:venue' here, they would
think athe people were crazy-, but
these kind of people generally know
what they are doing. Then again the
new hotel and station the C.P.R. peo-
ple are 'Putting up is something to
make anyone wonder. I can't be,gm
to tell you a hundredthpart of
what I would like to about hew
this city is growing by leaps and
bounds, and it is no wild boom took
plasse here some Years • ago, for it
has got the oountry to back it up,
which it had not at that time, or
rather I should say the people in
the country. Young men should come
out to this eountry if they oanpot
Iget along' at home. Any young man
(With any get in hi,rn at all cen do
well in this great eountry. It is won-
derful how people doet along here.
I was sorry to see the,aocount of the
death of James McIntyre at Virden.
I was well acquainted' with him and
all his people when' living at Varna
25 or 30 years ago. Also the death
M
of John C. orrioon, • who will be
greatly missed in and •aroupd Sea -
,forth, and there are lots of others,
good Men arid true, whe have passed
away within the last few years, of
all we would have knewn nothing if
we had not received your paper regu-
larly. I look for it every Monday,
and peruse its columns more eager-
ly now than I did when I WaS in
the dime old town where it is sub-
limated. I would like to be remem-
bered to all my old triende of the
Royal .1bnaplars of Temperance, A. 0.
U. W. and the Seaforth Fire Brig-
ade boys, of all of which organiza-
tions I still consider rayedf a mem-
ber ; allo to hosts of my old friends
outside of these' sooieties. Ana now,
in 'conclusion, I would say, if there
are. any young or middle aged Men
in or .a.rouod Seaforth who are not
&tine as well as they would like, to
strike oul West, for there are one
hundred ehences here when there is
only one where they , are, and any
man with a little pluck and vim can
get along 'here. With .kindest re -
Tear& to -all .my ma friends, and not
f.orgetting yourself, I -am,

South Huron's -"Old Bo"
The epeeial Ottawa norrespendelit
of 'the Toronto News in painting pen
portraits of several of the tteW mem-
bers in the Dominion Parliament
draws the /allowing very accurate,
picture at one• of Huron's "Old
Boys." He says: Perhaps- the most
striking, figure brought into the
Liberal :side of the House of Com-
mons by the eleation of 1904 is that
of Hon; Themes Greenway, lately
Premier of Manitoba. Mr. Green-
way is not a strmiger to the Green
Chamber, forr he sat through sever-
al sessions between 1875 and 1879, as
• Independent, though classified
by the 'compilers of Parliamentary
Companions of those days as an In-
dependent Conservative. He and
Hon. N. A. Belcou.rt, the ex -Speak-
er, occtuoy the desk vacated by Mr.
John Charlton, and Hon. Wm. Ross
of Victoria, N. S. Whihe Mr.Green-
way, Iso far as prominenee 41 Cana-
dian affairs is coneer,ned, is one of
the first men in the House, it is un-
likely that he will rush into the
thick of the general political battle
this first session. Nobody has a
better conception of the eternal
fitness of things than "Silent Tom"
the man who while apparently notic-
ing nothing sees everything; and it
can be taken as assured that he will
never address the House on any sub-
ject where he does not feel his foot-
ing absolutely secure. Born in
Cornwall, England, and living in
Canada since be was tour years old,
his childhood end youth spent ha
the backwoods of Durham and Huron
counties, Mr. Greenway is a typical
Anglo-Saxon. He uses Anglo-Saxon
words, and likes short, straight ter -
ward sentences. He ears nothine
for the rapier thrust an. play of
debate, but, like the breo.dswordsman
hews his •way straight through to
hio objective. His king residence vn
Manitoba has made him thoroughly
Swestern, and if he .is heard this ses-
sion, it will be upon wheat stand-
ards, Westeru transportation and
the lumber question. This latter,
in opposition to British Columbians,
who would put a. duty on %hie prime
nece,ssity of the Manitoba fareaer.
