Speaking of the` climatic conditions . iof the West as being adversely des- cribed in the reports sent to the` east and to England, Dr. McDougall` said that they were greatly exagger-` ated. I was," he said, in Winni- . peg when the `great storm of the autumn struck the `country. .Since _ then I have traveled in Manitoba and the Territories, in what might be called` the aftermath, and I found --that the inuence of the storm. was very small upon the crops generally. I was emphatically endorsed in my.` previous opinion that there is no country so capable as Canada's great Northwett of recovering with small loss from even so serious ,a setback as an autumnal storm in harvest time. . Such is the climate, and, such are the conditions of that country that it can stand even some` 01` Na-__ - ture's heaviest blows and still re- main strong." a _ Mr. Mcnougall loves and under- Itands every one of his red charges, . from war chief to papoose. He said: While passing through Winnipeg I again came` into touch with current * events, and I note that Sir Edward A Carson, in pleading before the Alas- kan Tribunal, spoke disparagingly oi the Siwash Indians of the Pacic coast, saying `that the allegiance of- any one of them could be bought for a bottle of whiskey and a blanket. ' This maygbe true of the Indians in_ ` American territory. I have traveled and lived rnoreior less among the In- dians of Canada for 60 years, and with all "my soul I maintain that among our Indians are to be found as noble and as loyal and true men , and women as can be found under. like conditions anywhere in the world." - :'i"ores.t.wuuLakw' em:`ndu1:ra?:i:.""
