The great drawback here is the want
of proper railway facilities. It requires
a residence in the Northwest to
-
realize the immense power the C. R.
has acquired in our'. country. That
monop-oly and the Massey -Harris are
the bug -bears of the Western farmer.

but deep, how - he has to pay 32 cents
on evei7 bushel of wheat going east -
and how his notes at 12 per cent for
binders- and seed -drills are crushing
the life out of him. -
Another crying. evil with us is themuItip1c of -.
bachelors -yes, they •
are crying."Give Us'wives, or give us

w o may wish to know- what
prospects the Territories offer the
teachers. These prospects are favor-
able ones. Schools have an attendance
ranging from 6 to 17, and as the
Government pays the greater part of
the expense,otections can afford to be
liberal in their salaries. -Examinations
