The nlower show held, In the1 town hall last week, under tile auspices of the Seaforth Horticultural So:- ciety, as an experiment for future efforts, was &sledded success. The sides and platform, of the hall were well decorated with large foliage and flowering plants and the centre tables were filled with cut flowers and plants entered for coMpetition. It was , a sonree of •pritie to hear florists present from outside ex- press their surprise at the number of fine exhiblIs and plants zollected from the neighborhood. The experia mental nature, of the show ancE the exceeding dry Weather had threaetened to injure the number, and excellence of cut flowers, but almost all varies tiete, excepting pefhaps, dahl,iae, were shown in good. number and in ex.del- lent quality. Among cut flowers, the gladioli, especially 'a collection' brought from Exeter by Mr. J. G. Stanbury, and . the asters, were of as good quality as are grown any- where. Interest In the latter is in- creasing as teas nvfilenced by the number of named varieties shown and the improvement in .quaint:y of the individual flower. Foliage plants and begonias were well represented and .were worthy of spedial emention. he gloxinias, a new 'venture tlees 'year by many growers, attracted. much at- tention and so well was this hot- house plant grown that many Stated their intentlion of 'getting bulbs next spring. ‘The thanks of the SoCiety. .are due to a number of ownees of plants of rare merit for their willing- ness to igen whatever would be of service. Among these are Mrs. T. P. Cole,masie Mrs. J. P. Brine, Mrs. Ru- dolph, Mrs. Mental., Mrs. Staples and Mrs. GeMmell. Another pleasing feat- ute wad a, musical programme ren- dered on .Saturday evening by MissesRathwell, -Wilson and Daly and by Geib, Rands, Foster and Peck. All who attended expreseed their de- light with the show and the Society are well- satisfied wath their effort. The eut ,flowers not claimed oie the closing evening were- destributed a- mong the churches for Sunday. The receipts just covered the expenses of the ehow, setich Was not intended to make money, but to prepare the way for widening interest in leorti- etfltural work The judges, Mrs. Rudolph, of Eg- mondville, and Mr. G.

They add I very much tb the beauty a Lake Clement'. I passed one week there ' and it surprised me to see so many automobiles from Brandon every day with pleasure seekers, which indicat- ed the properous condition of the owners. There are also a _number a excellent 'hotels in the city,-alI of which are taxed, to their utmost cap- acity. I met many from ,Ontario among them being Mrs. George Mars- den, formerly of Constance; also Miss Belle Leitch, who holds a re- aponsible position in the hospital at Brat:Ion. I also met Mr. and Mrs. Donated, formerly of Myth and many others. All are satisfied and appar- ently doing well. The Brandon fair then being held, was excellent, the weather being favorable. There were 40,000 people passed through the gates on the Thursday of fair week, that being the largest days' attend- ance. And yet there was no undue crowding, so spacious are the grounds There was a good exhibit of fruit from the experimental farm which adjoins, Brandon. There was also . an excellent exhibit of fruit from Chilliwach Talley, British Columbia. The fair was an immense success in every way, exhibits of all kindbe- Ing up to the standard.. I visited, . learkton, Saskatchewan, • going through Rapid City, where Mr. D. McNaught resides, also through Minnedosa passing through unlimited aeres of ,grain an every side. What a wilderness 1 What pessibilities for future prosperity. Coming to the town of Yorkton I found the Douk- hobors on parade looking for the Messiah. Fancy looking for the Mes- siah in YOrkton. However, those much talked, about Doukhobors are a great drawback to the town. There , is a settlement of theirs 40 milee out ' and the demented ones as they are called come into, Yorkton marching to Winnipeg, and it seems td be headeuarters for 'them. .They are . not at all aggreseive nor will they , under great prosocation retaliate. .They simply kre a misguiding lot and are no credit to arty town. On the other hand they are a source of great annoyance the citizens. But the proper authorities scam had them under restraint and sent back to their native town, much to, the satisfaction of the Yorktonites. The soil abont Yorkton is adapted to mixed, farming, principally oats being grown. John, A., and Roland Snell are located, here and have pros- pered imthensely. Going from Bran- don to Maosomin through Fleury, Al- exander, Virden, 'Elkhorn and on to Moosomin, one can scarcely believe It to be Manitoba so. much is it like Ontario. Fine b,arik barns in eel- dence, windmills, beautiful homes, prosperity indicated everywhere. Corn- ing to Moosomin one is exceedingly well pleased with the looks a the town. There are five elevators, grist- mills, shops, large stores, court -house, hospital lend good industries flourishing. Here Mr. John Scott is located. He is -a brother a George Scott, recently of Seaf&rth. He has retired from -active business Oil a cOineetency. Here also are the Spoon- er Brothers, formerly of Clinton. One keeps the best hotel in the town, cal- led the Queens, and the other is en- gaged in the blacksmithing businese, I might mention right here that; the blacksmiths in Moosomin, as in anY other western town„ receive $1 for settihg four shoes and $2 for four new shoes and everything else in the blacksmithing ,business accord- ingly. And to my mired, the Ontario blacksmiths are very much under paid for their services. But, of course, all can't go west. so( must be content here.„ There was a very bad hailstorm visited Moosomin district on the evening or the 24th of July, which completely destroyed acres of crop, cut and mo.wed it down as If the binder - had passed over it: A great many farmers -had an insur- ance on their crop, but many had 'not. The hall was as large as. eggs, and eame .down in torrents. sweepIng everything before it. It had spent it!! fury in about ten minutes. Many farmers lost their entire crop. After the storm the sun shon out most beautifully as if to mock the: misery of the unfortunates. But such Is life in the great Northweat. I might also mention one great drawback to the westerners, is The lack of fruit. But; as many remark- ed, we grow .the wheat, and that will purohese all kinds of fruit,and so they console themselves with that thought. Before closing I must men- tion that The Expositor come e as a welcome friend to the Westerner, and many say it is ad- good as a detter from home; and how they do ap- preciate the home paper. • .1 • A Lady's Opinion of the West and Westerners Dear Expositor, -:Having spent some\ three months recently in the west, I ,thought it might interest some of your many readers to speak about parts I passed thronuh- and visited. I skall ncit attempt to describe the JOurney from Toronto to ;Winnipeg, as I might not say anything but what most everyone is familiar with, suf- last ten years, was supposed to be many times that Sir John Macdonald did a great and grand work when he opened up a road through those rocks. What an u'nderteking it surely was. I might also Baty as we neared :Win- nipeg and cante net° sight oi the op- en prairie, what ne feast of beauty it did present. There were wild roses on every side blooming and flourishing. It was ---a beauty I had, never seen surpassed. I arrived in Brandon in due time. Brandon is situated in the midst of a charming country, in whiele there are spnendid opportunities -for dairying, poultry raising, and the soil is certainly adapted for wheat. Brandon is fittingly named when It Is known are the "Wheat City," all over the west' Brandon has the- reputation of be- ing most beautifillly situated. All her industries are flourishing:: The pub- lic schools are efficient. It also has many fine residences,, arnon.g them be- ing the residnece ,of Mr. Geo.

There is alsO a most beautiful sum- mer eesort for °health and pleasure, situated about 12 miles west of the city, *here many of the Brandonites spend their vacation. It is called Lake Clement'. There arel excellnt oppor4 tunities for boatieg, rowing, _canoe- ing, . sailing, fishing, tennis, golf, football and lacrosse, 'in fact there there is enjoyment offered for all.

He made a vigorous attack upon dis- honest methods in public life and devoted a good deal of atteetion to the prevalent practice of politicians to become rich at the expentin of the country which they are expected to serve. While the increase in the, an- nual expenditure of the province of Ontario, was referred to, stress was laid upon the fact that ire a few ehort years the annual expendiaire of the, Dominion had mounted from fifty millions. • to ninety millions. Many other matters of importance to the farmers were referred to by, the president, and they were all dealt with in 'resolutions afterwards pass- ed by the aesociation. -Patrons of the grand stand at the Exhibition, in Toronto, the Other day, had an exciting number, which Was' not on the regular programme.
