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.

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. Buron Notes. -Mr. II.
