Jaw we were the guests of our 'friend, Mr,
Hugh Gilmour, whose land is situated in a
fertile tract of rolling prairie, about twelve
miles north of the town, where it is expeeted
• a post offiee will be established &nil* the.
summer, We also met here Capt, &tipper&
who continues to grow in weight and propor-
tions, and expresses himself as well pleased
with his location here. The other Huron
friends that we oame across were Ur. Hugh
Thompson and Mr. John Beesley, both in
good health, and apparently contented with
their lot. We may say in passing that in the
western part of the north-west the weather is
very dry; and from what we could learn there
appears to bb a danger of Shattering a serious •
drawback.; during lastseason there was a
great deal of dry wettiler, and this season
wad of the sante nature, up to the time of
our leaving, in those districts to the west of
Red River valley and the lakes at itsminitb, •
and beyond the valleys of the large rivers •
throughout the country, but it is hoped that
as the land is brought under cultivation, and
municipalities, When organized, see to the
plantation bf trees, this threatened danger
will, to a great extent, be averted:
QU'APPLE pnivitior. •
We spent three busy days in this well-
known district, in the pleasant employment
of visiting friends from Huron,. and seeing
the points of interest ; through the kindneee
of Mr. Gorrell we were enabled to go over
quite an extent of territory, which has been
added mtheipally by persons from the neigh-
borhood of Clinton, !which they seek to honor
in giving that name to their township. The
farmers had nearly all completed their seed-
ing, the season being much earlier apparently
than it is in many parts of Ontario at that
late, `,"th of May. On the Meq�s. Gorrell's
places, the grain on some pi es of seeded
land was nicely above the gro rid. • The land
is very much of the samdap aranee and na•
tare as that at Moose -Jaw, there being, _bow:
ever, along the line of the railway iat „Qu'-
Applle a good deal of land patched with bluffs
of thuber, which renders it somewhat more
• difficult to bring under cultivation, but after
rzettig five or six miles furthernorth from the
• railway we get again to the open prairie,
Which extends north of the same name,
nearly to the valley of the River Qu' Appel's,
about 18 or 20 miles north of the railway.
There is a Jorge tract of laud in this district
which is not being settled, being owned by
the Ontario and Qu'Appelle Land Company,
who aro holding the most of the seotioni in
the neighborhood of Clinton township at $8
per acre. It is to be regretted Snit the set.
