The following is an extract from a
private letter from Mrt John Breeken-
ridge, jr., who is now plying hie trade of
plasterer along the route of the Canada
Pacific Railway :
" I was working in Winnipeg up to
the 1st of Aug. at 13.50 per day, and
board was $+i a week. It is, without ex-
ception, the dirtiest place 1 ever saw.
I got a job on the Canada Pacific Rail-
way, lathing and plastering station -
houses at 35c per hour, and we make
$1.20 a day. We have a canvass tent
and keep "'etch," and I think we will
board for about $3 a week. I amt at
present working at Gopher Creek, about
185 miles west of Winnipeg, and we will
be moving backward and forward all
over the line. F. Hick, with a partner,
is keeping a jewelry store in Winnipeg.
He pays $61 a month rent for a shop 20
feet long and 61 wide. Bob Rutleige is
partner in a grocery business, paying
$200 month rent. They appear to be
doing a g *al paving business. Eggs aro
454.1 a dozen, butter 35c • Ib. In the
part of the country where I am at pre
sant there are what are called "Spanish
needles," that kill sheep. (The writer
encloses some specimens, which can be
seen at Tug SI•+NAL office. They are
short pieces: of a variety of broom,
twisted and wiry, with pointed heads )
When they enter the sheep's mouth,
they will wore their way right through
the roof of their mouths, and the ani-
mals die slowly, in great agony. Jona-
than and Mows McBrien are working
in Winnipeg Robt. McBrine is in part-
nership with two other men, and they
are doing considerable work. Plaster-
er's are many in Winnipeg. I am feel-
ing well, living in our little tent on the
prairie. "
