Editor Expositor,—Dear Sir,—As some of your readers who are think- ing of corning wet on the Harvest Excursion, may Wish to Snow how crop conditions are and others who may be looking towards thia part of Canada with the expectations of mak- ing 'it their future home, I will at- tempt to give them some idea of things in general. .As tar as the crop ie conceened the prospects are there never was a better one. We have had beautiful warm weather all spring and summer With just- enough rdin to keep everything grden and growing. The wheat and ate are all well. headed out and we 'have been eating new potatoes for the past two weeks. There is going to he very great difficulty to get the. crop -properly harvested. on account of the scarcity of hep; the enormous a- mount of railway construction taking men away' from the farms aS the railroads Pay better wages and give shorter houra. The C. P. R. are run- ning excursions direct from tile old pountry in an attempt to relieve the farmers. There has been a large a- mOunt of emigration from the British Isles and the States this year, but stilh there is room for millions mote. A considerable number of <roung girls have come out from England ahrd have reheived a great welcome as, they are very free, frank and friendly and will gladden the home and heat of many a lonely homesteader. An '1m- l-tie/Ise amount of railway construc- tion is going on throughout the west at present'. What *ith the Canadian Northern R.ailWay and the Grand Trunk Pacific, the former rnaltIng extensive improvements on'their lines especially around Brandon and the, latter are 'rushing things to a finish and expect to have their line from Portage la ,Prairie to Edmonton in opefation in a very short time, they having some steel laid at Portage al- ready, Ana now coines -J. J. Hill, the ,noted railroad Magnate, acroes the lines with' his Great Northern Railway and Yankee eriterprise- and intends in the course of a couple of yeara to cover the west ,with his road and to have his, locomotives whistle on the shores of Hudson's Bay, the natural. outlet for the produce of the west. - It is surprising how fast land is taken up wherever anew line is 8111- veyed. Take the G. T, 'P. all along its line, there isn't a homestead to be .got -within- ten miles on either side. People just walk over one weather in their endeavors to get lend. I myself was fortunate enough to get a farm within a mile of the survey. At present I am on the bridge -building department of the C. P. R. and have a splendid oppor- tunity' on accouat of travelling so Mach, to notice the growth ert the country which is destined to be a nation among nations. Now. In con- clusion, I would advise all those down east who are without home 'and without price to come -west and get a stake in the country and join in the general prosperity as the Yankees are ewarming across the border in thousands and as they are a level headed, energetic race, they will be sure to get the best of the land. A better clasp of Englishmen are com- ing. out now, mostly tradesmen, who will throw in their mite for the rip - building of ,the west.
