MANS aro the indioatione of improving
times in titin Province, and the person wito
will not acknowledge this fact muat will•
ingly alone hie eyes to the real state of
affairs. Two or three instances will
illustrate this point. Meet, there heve
been many changes in farm lands, the
majority of sales being made ata muoh
higher valuation than for many years and
with larger oath payments then are often
made. Secondly, the farmers are pur-
chasing agricultural implements more
freely than usual end as a remelt the re-
oeipts by looal agents are oar -loads in•
stead of email lots. Thirdly, and per-
haps best of all, people have risen out of
the mists and clouds of doubt and half
despair and are hopefully looking into the
future with expectations more likely to
be realized than for years past. There
is no fairer bend than the Province of
Coterie and with a contented, indus-
trious, God fearing people the sunshine of
prosperity should rest on tea in a Targe
measure.
We have come to the conclusion that
the long jaw -winding bees held in the
House of Commons are a farce of the
most pronounced character, and why
these rbinooerous•hided politicians can-
not see that they are frittering away the
time of the House and wasting thousands
of good dollars wbile they air their self-
opinionected eloquence or parrotlike at-

Thousands of dollars would be saved
annually by shortening up parlianeubery
sessious and the "gas works" would have
to expend the surplus in their oonstitnen-
oy at their own expense instead of at that
of the Dominion. We don't think the
Conservatives are a bit more to blame is
this particular item than the Liberals
but both sides ars by far too long winded
and kill too moth valuable time talking

a trait of character monopolized by our
neighbors bat if our American cousins

we could mention they must be grand
masters at the business. If Pretnier
Laurier would present the members of
the House with a small card, with a
broad black bor der, bearing the four
sigoifioant words "I talk too much" it
might be money well invested.
Caxana holds she palm on the British
market for the best cheese that is offered
for sale and by careful management,
despite the tricksters in others nations
who hitherto have been foiled in their
attempt to imitate if not supplant, she
will continue to lead. Ontario takes first
place in the Dominion in dairy produce
and it would be well for those specially
interested in the manufacture to take
heed to the sound advice contained in
the following circular issued by the
Provincial Minister of Agrloalture, Hon.
John Dryden, as it bears directly on this
point:—In building up the dairy industry
of Ontario two things have been taught
and urged, namely, purity and high qual-
ity of prodnets and economy of produc-
tion. Wbatever set baoks this great in-
dustry may have met in the pest few
years can be traced to a neglect of one or
the other of these important pointe. The
cheese industry of Ontario is now fairly
well established, and the annual produo-
bion of a large amount of well made,
whole•milk cheese of uniform quality has
given Canada a controlling influeooe in
the British cheese market. Our cream-
ery industry is now rapidly developing,
and it is of vital importance that the
etriotest attention be paid to the turning
out in an economical manner of butter of
uniformly high quality, pure and un-
adulterated. This industry will, if prop-
erly oonduoted, assume very large propor-
tions, since the averege consumption of
butter is mtioh greater than tbat of
cheese, and the British imports of butter
greatly exceed those of theme. In the
British market our butter meets in com-
petition similar goods from Ireland Den-
mark, France, the United States, Ans.
trete and Argentina. Denmark has
attained a thief place by etndying the
requirements of the market, and now
produces nearly all of her creamery ex-
• port butter from pasteurized milk or
cream with the use of epeolal ferments.
In some of the countries exporting to
Great Britain -Australia in particular—
it beebeoome a praobioe to use some kind
of "preservative" in butter -making.
Sometimes this is added to butter as a
salt ; sometimes it is added to the milk.
These preservatives are Bold under var.

Tiny are nearly all mixtures o2 boraolo

servatives las alarmed the British con•.
sumer, end most radiosd measures are
now proposed to exolude all butter in
which traces of these preservatives are
found. The British pnbito has become

On The Way To The Klondike,
Notes taken from letters received by
Alex. Stewart, of the 10th con., Grey,
from his son, Alex. R. Stewart, on his
way to the Klondike.
February loth. --I suppose you will all
be getting anxious to hear from me as it
generally takes about six days to get to
British Columbia. Well, we were on the
road just 8 days. I arrived here safe,
From Brussels to Now Westminister I
had a very pleasant journey although we
lead a few adventures on the way out.
After leaving Brussels about 8 o'clock it
came up quite a snow storm and it delay-
ed us some time. I arrived in Chicago
next morning and we stayed there all
day. I saw quite a lot of the city and
there are some grand buildings. There is
lots of snow here. We started off again
in the evening and arrived in St. Paul's
about 0 o'clock in the morning and stay-
ed there all day so I did not see mucic of
the country ate we travelled mostly at
night. Through the bad lands of Dakota
it is a desolate looking country, not even
a living thing to be seen. Not even a tree
or a bush large enough to make n pen
handls, nothing but a desolate waste as
far as the eye eau see in some parts.
After you get through it then you are in
the foot bills of the Rookies, whore you
see thousands of horses and cattle grazing
on the hills but I do nob think they have
very good picking. It seems a very Moe
climate. We passed through some very
beautiful valleys but there is no timber
on the Rocky range of any account and
no snow save 0n some of the higher
peaks of the mountains. The train was
very heavy Jaden with man going to tiles
gold fields of Alaska. We gob stunk right
m the summit of the Rock es in the tun•
net, although there were two mountain
engines on. The tunnel is two miles
long, located at what is called the "Great
Divide." It was in the middle of the
night and the train men came and waked
everybody up and shut off all ventilation.
There was some snow and had there been
a little more we would all have been suffo-
cated as the cars were filled with smoke.
Some of the men and passengers were
getting badly choked up. I thought they
would have torn everything to pieces the
way they jerked the train with both
engines ; et last they pulled her out and
away we went down grade. They sleet
off steam and took off one engine. They
do this in all mountainous countries.
We had quito a serious and exciting time
for a while. The next uight the train
ahead of us, which was only two hours
ahead, bad broken through a bridge, kill.
ing quite a number of men and passen-
gers, so we were delayed titers some time,
bat we got started ouoe more and had
not gone far when we struck a land slide,
and had to back up and get into another
road called the Oregon Short Line and
that took us three hundred miles out of
our way and delayed es tea hours.
We rode on again to the Cascade moue.
tains, that's where the wild scenery is,
riding over mountain gorges, clinging
round sides of mountains all timbered
and ten feet of snow, it ie a grand and
beautiful scene to gaze upon. It is wild,
and makes man gaze on with wonder. I
saw one monntain, called Tacoma, 14,000
feet high. There is about 1 foot of meow
on the Cascade mountains and after get-
ting over them there is no snow. Grass
as green as in Summer time and frogs
reeking all night long. We got into
Seattle at tight and stayed there till 10
ext day. It is a busy and a noisy plane.
There are 100 men at the station now
utfitting for the gold mines ; such a
howling of dogs there are so many of
hem going with the men. We started
ram Seattle about 10 o'olock and got to
New Westminister about 5 o'olocic and
rayed there all night. Crossed the
reser river next forenoon in a ferry
oat and took the train for uncles',
Messrs. Brown, who were at the station
o meet me. The train runs within 40
ode of the house and they have a fine
lace, Uncle keeps the Post office, I

have had a very rough trip, the vessel was

and there were some very sink people an
it was very rongh going round Milbank.
Afterpassiug through Lake Stikine we
arrived at Wrangle, which is quite a
town. There are no regular streets but
they have sidewalks all over. A person
has to be very careful in walking as the
boards aro not nailed down and you
might fall into some queer boles 4 or 5
feet deep. We expeot to get on the ioe
to morrow. There is no frost bare al-
though we are 1,000 miles North of yon.
Some are turning back already as the
road is very rough and dangerous. We
are going to try our best although we
may fail. Ib is very uncertain when you
may hear from us again as it will be hard
to get letters posted.
Vauconver, March 24th,—Tho boys Dud
I arrived in Vancouver again safe and
well from our trip. We went up on the
Stikine river some miles and it is a
thing impossible to get through with
water on the ice as there has been no
frost and people cannot get through. The
farthest that any one has gone up is 20
miles and there are thousands who will
have to turn back as it takes a pile of
money unless you can get up on the ice,
5100 a ticket from Wrangle to Gleuore
and $30 a ton for freight and then you
have 150 miles to go after that on land
before you strike the ioe again at Tessin
Lake and then you are about half way or
so. Unless you can get np before the
snow goes it would cost a little fortune,
It is all a fraud tate route by Wrangle
and it never will be a right road unless it
goes from the coast of British Columbia.
McKenzie & Mann, the railroad contrac-
tors, are stook fast on the ioe about 15 or
20 miles and the steamboats never gob
off the island at the mouth of the river.
They tried to haul their sleighs but the
ice was not strong enough as there are
lots of holes in the ice and men and
horses might disappear through them for-
ever. About 20 miles from bare the
snow le from 10 to 12 feet deep on the
ice and very soft. There has not both a
party gene through here since last Fall
and still they try to go. There are lots
of men staying en Vancouver who will
not attempt to go further. Honorable
Edgar Dewduey is writing a piece for
the papers advising their party to give up
their trip. He Dame down on the memo
boat as we did with some of his men who
were sick. We lost considerable on our
outfits, and I have heard since returning
they are sold for 515 or 520 complete on
the ice by nen returning as they are glad
to get what they can for them. I have
seen any amount of men coming crying
down the ice saying they had spent all
the money they had for their outfits
thinking they had nothing to do but pull
up the river, and as they had no money
had to sell their outfits for what they
could get and turn beak. There were 98
stowaways on the boat we came back on
and there are 1000 men in Wrangle who
haven't got a Dent to bring them back to
'Vancouver. The town will be flooded
with men. It is impossible to describe
the hardships and suffering that man and
beads has to undergo. It is out thing to
read the paper about ib and another
tieing to withers it with your eyes. There
are young and strong men and old men
also trying but it is au impossibility to
go that route at present, There bat been
one vessel lost on her way to Alagka, the
"Alma." It was a terrible disaster. An
Alaska bound bark was found a wreck,
not a soul being lefb.to tell how the ves-
sel was wrecked. There was a crew of 13
and 27 passengers, forty iu all. She
sailed from Sao I'rauaisoo. Her cap-
tain's name was W. J. Hogan, and
auotber vessel and all has been lost since
then on her way to Alaska. You may
hear from me again.
