that it shall berAblenil.ed "with

the provinces cannot be secured
to an amendment of the Act in

CYPRESS RIVER, MAN , Apr. 6, '91
Me EDITOR—DEAR Sln,—I have
been in this country one week now,
and I suppose your numerous readers
and my many friends are expecting
to hear from me by this time, Well
sir, I must say I like the appearance
of things here so far, although there
is rather more living out of doors
than I was used to in Holmesville.
The house is small, made of logs,
hewed and plastered outside and in.
Barns—there are none—the stables
and granary are built of poplar poles,
and covered with hay or sods, which
serve the purpose well, but loot so
strange to one from Ontario. The
farm we are working this summer is
three and a half miles south-east of
Cypress, and one and a half :rem the
railroad track, so we can plainly see
he trains passing twice a week. The
ise, or hill, on which the house is
built, in the centre of the section, is
s high as Holmes' hill, at Hulmes-
ville, but not so steep a raise, hence
we can see about ten miles away on
he east, north and west, but on the
Doth are the Tiger Hilly, four or five
miles away, which obstruct the view
n that side. The Tiger Hills are
overed with small brush and poles,
hose are all the trees we can see, ex-
ept away to the north, on the banks
f the Assiniboine river, and how far
do not know. The soil is a black
cam, looking very rich and fit to
row anything, as far as I can judge.
saw some fine samples of wheat,
ars and potatoes. I think I told you
efore there was no snow here when
e came, there was lots of water and
ud, because the frost was in the
round, and woud not let the water
way, but” when the frost lett the
ground. the water was soon gone.
There is considerable more fencing
done here than I had any idea of.
Many farme & ave an -outside fence
around their laity, whether it be a
quarter section or a whole section
they own. There are small stakes
'driven in the ground, about 15 or 20
feet apart, and a wire, or two, as the
case may be, tacked on to them. I
have only one wire, other places I
wires on the fence, but this is only
saw,two, and at one place I saw three
on an outside fence. The farm is in
one field, generally speaking. Then
the roads are five rods wide, instead
of four, as in Ontario, which looks
queer, and puts me in mind of the
narrow farms in Quebec Province,
when I was there some years ago, ,1,
changing the gauge of the G. T. R. t
The hill we live on has a good many gi
stones on it, almost covered. too much re
to plow among, I presume, hence it is
not broken; but the land generally
has no stones, eticks nor thistles, so
it is good to work, and easy on a
team. The weather has been delight-
ful ever since we came here, the sun
has shone every day but one, when it
snowed a little. with sharp winds
from the north. The air is fresh and
bracing, and our appetites are good.
1 told you something about our trip
out here, so will now just say a little
about a few of the places along the
line: North Bay we could not see
much of, but Sudbury is a pleasant
little place in a hollow in the bush.
The country is very rough all the
way from Allenville to Lake Superior,
and there are no inhabitants except
the railway people at the stations.
The land is roiling, and covered with
evergreens and dry poles. The first
part of the run alongside of Lake Su-
perior was rough; going near the wa-
ter, through several tunnels, and over
high bridges, but from Port Arthur
to Winnlpeg, a distance of 427 miles,
what I saw was nice and level, from
Winnipeg to Cypress River, 95 miles,
is also a good road and fine, level
country. R. Doei<ran.
