Wednesday night, at 12 o'clock, we
once more drew into Winnipeg and
stopped for a half hour to replenish
oureupplies and change•engines after
which we struck out for our last stop
in the itinery viz Fort William and
Port Arthur where we arrived shortly
afternoon. A delightful motor trip
was commenced from the former city
ending up by our alighting at the fine
0. N. R hotel, Prince Arthur, where
we were very glad to be guests of 0.
K, Howard, the affable representative
of the Government road, who had
treated us so royally on the outgoing
journey, Our 9 or 10 hours in the
Twin cities was a genuine, treat and
we were more than surprised at the
gtowth and extent of the Northern
gateways that are destined to Ell so
large a place in the Doming years.
Fine streets and buildings, elegant
residences, beautiful drives, &c. born
evidence of wealth, civic expenditure
natural beauty. In the evening an
elaborate spread was made at the 0.
N. R.Hotel, with a dinner dance on
the program. Between each course
theorchestea played and many so die-
posed, tripped the light fantastic in
the spacious dining room. It was
somewhat of a novelty and a few of
the party excused themselves and
hied to a restaurant where the terp-
sichorean pastime was not staged.
At Fott William' we were very
happy to greet Mrs. N. B. and Mrs.
Bert Gerry, Mies Gertrude Ross,
Mise (Nurse) Thursa Gerry, and
Dr. Vernon Ross, all of Brussels at
one time also Herb. Wightman, form-
erly of Wingham, who was an active
member of the entertainment com-
mittee. The Gerry men were err:;. ea..,,;.-,,
the city while we were there.
Our train, that had followed us to
Port Arthur, tooted farewell at 10 p.
m. with Toronto as the magnetic
poiut in view, We cannot refrain
from calling attention to the elevator's
and grain trade of this Liverpool of the
North before we conclude this letter.
The Twin cities are equipped with
the greatest grain elevator system in
the world. There are 30 immense
elevators fronting on the shore of
Lake Superior and the Kaministiquht
river, built largely of steel and con-
crete and with a capacity of holding
56,000,000 bushels of grain. We can
hardly grasp these figures but to bet -
tet illustrate the great quantity,

up in train loads of 50 oars each would

elevators, Grain is weighed, and
cleaned. If a steamship is to be load-
ed a valve p
is opened at bottom
of con-
taining bin and grain poured through
spouts to the hold. Some of these
great boats will carry million bush-
els. 12,000 tons of grain has been
loaded in 10 hours. The elevator
system of Fort William and Port
Arthur is possibly the greatest in the
world and with the great prairies of
the West seeking them for an outlet
it looks twit large increases will have
to be made to the already .immense
and np•to-date facilities. It is a great
feature of the twin cities and full of
interest.
Incredulous folk would be inclined
to doubt what is said to be a fact viz
that tare storage capacity of collecting
elevators West of the Great Lakes,
numbering 3,728 is 125,105,970 bushels.

Following a fine run of 400 miles
