The Brussels Post, 1910-3-31, Page 4l RDA}', MARGII 9z, zero MnVt7Oft 1fd1Nf31PEty LETTSR. • The Wost to experieuoiug the earliest. Spring in a quarter ,of a century. No part ot. the Winter season /arts been strennottsly old, and pessimists' on r';eather subjects were tnotined to the apiuion that the Spring' would be delay- ed, E'oreeitsts at that sort have gone utterly astray and prenauncee Spring weather 3hartbeen the lot of the West tor 0 fortnight,I •t at least, A temperature of sixty above zerot au 1 0tt the day, has weaned ah' end earth so fast and so completely that the snow la melt- ed from elt-edfroln the prairie, the rivers are rising, note seeding bas begun in many parts of the ,weary. Geese and ducks have down North and everything points to settled weather. nfn RUSK INTO WEST, There is also an unprecedented rash of population into the West. Whatever the Springthee been, there would have been a big Nob this year, but the early arrival ot fine weather has undoubtedly helped to swell the rate of travel into the West and to bring many people here in March who otherwise would not have come until•Aprll or May. The rush is partioalarty great from the Old Country- and the United States, and the immigra- tion authorities look for more tban too taco farmer, front the States to enter Western Canada tbis year. Already there is very heavy traffic over all roads leading to tlhe points ot entry, and even comparatively small firsts who have been pushing their land sales in the States for the past year, are to bring in their clients by the trainload early in April. i ' Tete entovsaND D1EN NEEDED The West needs all who will come. So early as this, the cry for farmhelp bas been sounded and there is a derth of help to get the crop of (9lo seeded. If ten tboneaaci farm laborers were to come into the. West at once, alt would be em- ployed, ed h 9 andtere would t d be none foo manyoto meet tbe kis ceeds of the farmers in their, seeding operations. The high prices and Rood crops of the, past two years have promoted wheat growing to such au extent that every man with land at bis disposal will plant every acre that labor, and skill in farming work, can bring under crop. To this end plowing and seeding is being carried on in ills. tricts where Steam plows are used, through out the whole tweotyfour hours of the • day, shifts of men being supplied to keep the engines of a icul- ttit'e running day and nigh[. OTHER. LINES ARE ROSY, T00 The hall of the building trades and railroads for labors is scarcely less in- sistent, In every city of the Nest, there will be very great progress made in the erection of new buildings this year. With scarcely any pause in tbe work by reason of the Winter,, building operations have been taken up in this city with great vigor, and hundreds of new structures are well under way, al- ready. Building permits to the amount of :$z,000,000 have been issued, and fill- ing is going on rapidly. A unique feature of new construction work to be done here this Summer is the taking down of the building nowoccupied by the Canadian Bank of Commerce and its removal to Regina, where it will be re. erected ;, a splendid bonding is being up fur the bank's Winnipeg offices. It is a striking illustration of the re- markable growth which attendsi bank n g in the West that a building -which bas beenr e ected a few years since at a cost of $zso coo, so soon should be judged inadequate for the business of the bank and be replaced by an edifice which un- doubtedly will'cost at least four times as much as tbe former bank quarters in this city. WINNIPEG SO0ERLY PROSPEROUS So acute an observer as the Hon. Robert Porter, of tbe London Times, remarked at Winnipeg 'while be was here last week, tbat it is soberly pros- perous. Mr. Porter said :.— Winnipeg strikes me as a soberly prosperous city; there is leo air of ra hysterical profuseneseeabout it, Tee uses "ire excellently laid out and the day will come when the' ,citizens will have cause to be proud of their spacious sti eets and avenues. How different to Enenos Ayres, with its narrow thorough. fares, already so congested that it has become necessary to construct snbterran. can tubes and subways in order to take Elle suburban population to their railway stations."

Wall, we arrived here safe and sound on Thursday afternoon. The medioal health officers came out. and met us on board our ship. This was for the purpose of inspecting our health before being permitted to land. They examined each one of us, and found our pulses to be nice and. quiet, ,nisch °slmer, in Incl, Mine Were our tongues. However, we were found worthy enough to go ashore, which we soon proceeded to do. The Mayor and city Doane 1 mime on 'board, accompanied by a brass band and the Chief Magistrate delivered an ad. dress of welcome and presented each of us with a medal, also furntslted. ns with capable guides to. the olty. When we had all reached shore, our'party was divided and sent off to capture other cities. The section to which I belonged numbered 108, and we were tram. ported to Told*.Then another detachment 100 were dee atched yof p to se explore e the oity ot Nioke and stiff a third section or 120 was banished toai ecj at g The and too, of our party remained ateYokohamaelty.

After an hoar and a quarter's travel yve arrived at this city and were taken to the Imperial Hotel the finest in the whole My. Since the year 1850 Tokio has been the capital of the Japanese Empire. Previous to that year the cities of Osaka and Mote boast. ed of that honor, but this was at the time of the old dispensation of despotism le, Japan, when the Emperors of that time were never placed at the head of the Government, they being ander the. power of a military governor, plated however soon became ether accepted regime of the Empire. A new Emperor was selected and the capital !removed to Tokio. Since that time Japan has made wonderful atridee towards prosperity and. progress, and thetfor most nations of be considered worldas eli The Jape at resent have a domination over the Island of Korea, and also have 8101 to say about the affairs of the county where the last Russian war took place a few years ago. Even the great Chinese' Empire• with a population of over 400,000,000. ,oust have a care and listen to of the Jap dictation of little The most modern and np-t,-date principles, and is one of the best Lighting aggregations of the uni- verse. We saw several Japanese regiments in Tokio, end they were certainly a fine and powerful looking body of soldiers. Every male native. of the country on reaohing a eam age, must serve a specified period of military training and then when a _period breaks out, almost Lha entire male population oY the Island is ready and fit to take np arms in de- fence of their land. The Jap is ata° the possessor of a determined looking expression on h, face, ce any to without doubt a worth Yoemaa of a P n opposing army. Andth unsurpassedyy g y en their ro p al and devotion their creates in them a r he Bag protect and uphold the honoreofrthe land of their birth and their sovereign. Japanese navy is the equal 1n strength, zeal and efficien- cy of the artny, as was amply demonstrated in the late Russo•Jap war• when a part of the navy completely annihilated the Russian squadron, Japan has now large shipyards of her own, and can now build her own battle- ships, and construct her own munitions and implements of war. The Jap is a great in- ventor, and equally as good a workman, and supplies almost the whole Western world with Panay goods which include numerous silken artioles•and embroideries. Many millions of dollars' worth of raw Bilk, ten,. rice and other commodities are exported annually from here, Unlike Canada, Japan owns and operates her railways, the former country building the railwaya and then giving them away, The ilway foreshore are much cheaper, too. For he sum. of $160 one can travel 200 miles in. part. For the same distance in Canada, will a ou p y$rsp 'sed in the United Stats. $8,00, The tele rnph syetemiselsb owned aad Deer• ted by the Government of Japan. Another feature of the country is its postal service. This is a splendidly equipped department; and. he postal rate for letters is one and a half entsin English money.

The latter add ooden soles to their sandals, with two pright pieces of wood placed tinder the td soles to elevate them a little more om the cold ground. Two straps are en fastened to the bottom to keep ens on the foot, one strap passing oiled the big toe and the other about e ankle. The roads during our stay Tokio were very muddy tied snowy, t nevertheless the poor rickshaw man it rue ten miles each day over them bis thin stockings or thin sandal sole;, e often felt sorry for the poor fellows, r they have to work almost as hard as orae in all kinds of weather, .
