suggests the necessity of giv ing a few statements about this west ern land the witness states that minneapolis and st paul were under snow on nov 28th and inti mated the uselessuesa ef making excursions westward under such con ditions when in canada the smile was often provoked by american blunders re garding canada now the smile is on the other cheek thefact is there has not fallen sufficient snow this season if all thatlias come had remained to afford a sleigh ride we have had a ifewfalls of snow ranging from the thinnest coat of while to three inches but the temperature moderated with the falling of the snow so that in a few hours nought was left but patches ofdirty show in ditches under fences and on the old shady side of the foot hills or bluffs from august 25th

have fallen in love at surht withnh boundless billowy prair ies sucli outlook such outreach of earth and sky no wonder the people of theplains are aggressive and libciil a man must be peculiarly
