" There are many rumora about the In- diana, and in aome caaea the time ia actually fixed for the riaing, I think thia ia abaurd. I do not believe there ia any plan among the Indiana for a riaing, but I think th«t a riaing amongat the red men might take plaoe at any moment. You can never depend on the Indiana' temper." "^f a riaing amongat them did take place, would you oonaidar it aerioua " ' Meat decider ly ao, nnleaa it waa oruah- ed out promptly.^ Any playing with the trouble or red tapeiam would be dangeroua. If a riaing amongat the Indiana took plaoe, and waa allowed to run for any oenaiderable period unchecked, then the trouble would be far more aerioua then ever before." " Have the Hndaon Bay company aettled ap with the Government yet " " The company'a bill for transport aer- vioea haa been paid. We engaged tranaport for the Gkv8mmant, but received nothing further than a oommi^ion for our trouble What we got from theGkyenimen* we paid, to the people we employed. We got no- thios but a commiaaion on the aervioe." "You have aome claima against the Government for loa?ea in the rebellion " " Yea, thaae olaima have been duly pre- aented, and will doubtleea be aettled aatla- factorlly." Mr. Wrigley ia ohIy'« abort time a real- dent of Ownada, and haa already wen hia way into the confidence and esteem of the Hndaon B«y company c^ffiplala, who apeak of him in the highest poaaible wav. â-  mtim m A Bodi Soldier. The death is announced ef S'r George Udny Yule. He waa only an able Bengal civilian ef the older smd mere active type but he once did a wokderfnl thing. In 1858 he waa a cemmiaaioii^r in Bengal proper, when three regiment^ ef Sepeya, breaUng late into mutiny, marahed aorosa hia diattiot to join the inanrgent army in Oade. Mr. Yule had no troops, no mlUtory authority, and no reapenaibility in the matter but the impudence of the afEalr waa too much fer him. He ^aa a hunting man, turned out hia hunting equipage, borrewed more ole- phantabom native friends, collected righW European plantera and plerka, and a amiJl force of native 'guarda," and determined to Hndsoa's Bay Bailway Oonttraotioa.- There ia a atrong probability that the oenatmotien of the railway from Manitoba to the Hadaon'a Bay will be commenced during tbe coming spring and that the work will be praaeouted with vigor, and without let up until completed, unleaa when aeverity of weather will compel a ceaaation of work. It ia a matter decided that the work of ooastruotion will commence from the head of Lake Winnipesf and be pnahel onward in a northerly deotfoi until tide- water navigation on the Nelaon river ia reached. The-e may ba thoae who will objsot to this point of commercing oonstruotian, and who think tliat it ahonld commenoe from the terminua in thia province and mi^ve by atagea northward. That aelaahneaa might •ugge^t auoh a oonrae thtfe ia no doubt, and the people of Winnipeg '^more than theae of any other place can prqdacj selfish ar^- ment in ite favor. Batafterallwe believe the projectors of tbe^^^doul are adopting the wise and aenaible oooiwe, and even thoae who aee Immediate g^ in anoUier will eventually be moat benefited by that about to be pnraued. The commenoement of conatmction at the head of Lake Winnip^ ia a wi«e move, beoanae by the construction of leas than half ef the whole road a anmmrr outlet can be aecured, whioh will fnndah aaooroe ef earn- ing te the company in a very abort time, and co«menoe the pi^aotioal teat of the value of the outlet; fer commercial pur- poses. Then the oenraeiafn^iae one becauae it will compel the ntUiatog ot our North-west- em waterways, which hu scarcely been at tempted aa yet, and which will we believe prove them to have a valup, far beyond any calculatieaa hitherto made upon them, and ere the conatmction of the whole road ia completed ahow what a vain -ble auxil- iary they really are to raUway faoili- tiee Then the conrae ia a wiae one becauae it wiU hurry the opening of an outlet whioh if only available in aammer time will be of val- ue te the whole prorinoe irhereas atarting conatmction from Winn peg or aty other point in the province a road would be in pro- gress for several yeara. which ended at no- where, opened up no produotive country of any oenaeqnenoe, and wonld be ef ne mater- ial value to anyone until completed unlesa for the drouladen of money whioh ite oen- atraction created. Thua looking at the pro- gramme of oenstmotion we ^nat aay that from every view point it givea evidence oi wisdom, caution and economy on the part ef Aose who arranged it. But aa we look at the arrangementa fer Dtillzing Lake Winnipeg in cenneotlon with thia Hadaon'a Bay outlet, we naturally in- cline to aak Bat what about the Bed River aa a feeder to thia northern gateway I In almost every oaloulation made ef the value of the Hndaen'a Bay rente the grain carry- ing from Dakoto and Minaeeeta has been ooonted open, and indeed the rente would leeee much of ite commercial valoe if it did not attraot a g«od ahare of that trade. Bat than navigation ef any praokioal value for each a traffic reaohea no further up the Red River than St. Andrew'a Rapida, and from I there north to the international boundary as freight from all aoatli of fiftaoB mHea thb ride of the iBtoniatioBal boaadaty^oia oonoarped, wo would BOt ander the praaent atato of aff*in be allowed to baild a oom- Detlsg line of rail.
