Charlie and Frank stayed with the trailer, and while Don and I were away they wandered llnt.o a lumber camp to get a meal of | immense proportions. Don and 1 | took a carload of children with us | tor the tire, _ who were perfectly thrilled by the ride, although _ we | couldn‘t satisfy the demands of one ;youngster to go 80 miles _ an hour. The people were Finnish and Ukranâ€" jan with a few Italians thrown in. We were invited to stay that evenâ€" ing for a party. It was a huge sucâ€" cess from our standpoint, for it gave us an insight into the life of these new Canadians. The village is on the main line of the C.P.R. and when ever a train would pass through the party would be practically broken up, as they must all go to watch the‘ trains come into the station. Into the Westland Manitoba is not unlike Ontario or New Brunswick. It hasn‘t the hills of Ontario, but on the other hand, there are many trees; Manitoba has bigger farms and fields but it has a big market and dairy deveopment with a preponderance of mixed farmâ€" ing. It was surprising to us coming The last jetter was written from a rocky crag on the stormy shores of Lake Superior; we now are on the | plains, though they are by no means treeless in this section,. We motored into the twin Lakehead cities, Fort William and Port Arthur. Besides the historic spot where furâ€"traders of Ithe Northwest Company once . built their post, Mount McKay rears itself 1,800 feet above the water. Perched on a cliff beneath the shadow of _ a huge cross erected to the memory of Indian braves fallen in the _ Great ‘War, we gazed out over the twinkâ€" ling lights of the great inland ports and the shadowy outline of Thunder Bay. Countless elevators, symbolic of the part wheat has played in _ the building of these and all _ Canadian \cities, line the waters edge. Pool 7, the largest elevator in the world, can alone hold seven million of the ‘total ninety five million capacity of these two ports. _ Shoving on by the , Transâ€"Canada highway we resumed our journey westward on Canadian soil. After a couple of hours‘ run we had the misfortune to get a nail in the tire of the trailer. The tube | was ruined, and we had to drive 60 miles for a new one, so great are the ;dlsuncel between villages in _ this ‘new land. The station attendant said he knew almost every family on this Vagabond Farmer in Prairie Province Last night we were speeding to ward the West on No. 2 Highway, Manitoba. It was getting late and we were hungry. _ We spotted a fine house with a wide lawn and trees and shrubs planted about it. Just the place to camp we said. _ The man and his wife, who happened to be be graduates of the University . of Manitoba, were glad to let us camp »n the lawn although they had nevâ€" er seen any of us before. This type of hospitality would surprise travellers with a city background. We cooked our supper, then went into the house for games and a singâ€"song. _ With Charlie‘s mouth organ, Frank‘s guitar and the hired man‘s violin, we had a dandy orchestra. Not only did we have a splendid evening, but our new friends were able to tell us _ about the wheat pool, stock breeding ,and various other subjects of interest to farmers.
