(Number 5) After tw, very enjoyable days spent in Winnipeg we continued our journey westward on the C. N. R.1 "Confederation" train bound for.Ed monton. Our joily party was con-l siderably augniented by other editors and their wives who had left Toronto Saturday night and were going right' through to the Edmonton Convention without stopovers. They included Mr. and Mrs. Alex. McLaren and son, Barrie, (Alex. is editor of The Baýrrie Examiner, a past President of Can-1 adian Weekiy Newspapers Associa- tion, and as a lad attended Bowinan- ville High School for several years when bis father Rev. Alex. McLaren, was Presbyteran minister at Ennis- kilien), Mr. and Mrs. Perey Lan- caster, Havelock, L. J. Jackson., Nw market, George Mitchell, Hanvr Mr. and Mrs. A. D. McKittri ck, Or- angevîlle, H. ýB. Ansiow, Campbel1- ton, N. B., this year's president of C.W.N.A. and others. We were also honored by having on this train W.1I C. Riddell, Toronto, District Passeng- er Agent C. N. R. and Mrs. Riddell, and Mr. W. S. Thompson, Montreal, Director of Publicity C. N. R., both officiais looking weli after our coin- forts.1 As one speeds along mile after1 mile on these transcontinental trainsi you cannot help but be impressed with the almost unsurmountable task the engineers faced in surveying and con- structing these railway lines in th'e pioneer days when it wvas mostly done by hand labor and teaming-no sem shovels, motor trucks or other modemn labor saving machinery and equip-, nment. Think of the constant upkeep1 of the road bcd which runs into1 millions of dollars annually. It is no' wonder the companies showed annuai deficits whieh finaliy brought aboutý amalgamiations of saime of the linesl until wc now have the two great across-the-continent railway systenis which Canada may justly be proud of. There's another angle to thîs rai1way business whidh you don't consider in a casuai observation. When you speak of the "Confederation" train you naturally think of one train, but an officiai informed us that it takes eleven complete trains or units of about 13 cars each to keep up the daily service between Toronto and Vancouver, which is known as the "'Confederation" trains. Our first stop was at Brandon. The fair wvas in progress and the gaily de- corated grounds, buildings and.tenta could be seen from the train, but we didn't stop to sec the sights. At Brandon we branched off the main line going in a south westerly direc-1 ton to Regina and then connectng, up with the main Une again at Saska- toon. We were disappointei at not being able to spend a day In Regina, the capital of Saskatchewan ,as we were informed it is the log-ical location for, industries locating in the west beingý centrally situated for distribution1 purposes as well as other natural ad- vantages. Regina is experiencing a heaithy growth .and a building boom at present due to a great extent to General Motors erecting a million dollar plant there which will bc in operation by December lst aext. In passing through this part of the prairie provinces we were surprised to see sa many trees and ',rush with the land here and there a bit roiling. It was not the prairie as we had pict- ured it, yet we got more than an eye fuil of this brand of scenery before night overtook us and we were well on our way te Saskatoon. Crops looked good as far as we could see fromn the car window. How- ever, I should imagine *we were about a moath too eariy to get a real kick from viewing the golden grain at its best. The observing eyes of thie edi- tors were somewh at surprsed to see mustard seed flourishing as weil as other weeds which are becoming a bane to the westerners who have here- tofore prided themseives in harvesting such dlean grain. We don't wish to appear too critical, eitber, in our comn- ments, but we couldn't understand, why farm.ers left so many farm im- plements and machinery exposed toi tho> weather from one season to thei next. No doubt some of our western subscribers wili answer this question by inviting mceout to heip them work their baîf section for a year and Fget somne real first band experience and information on farniing condi- tions in the west. Early next morning found us in the Wainwright district which has been noted for years for the big governmcnt reserve witlî its herd of butl'alo running into the hundreds. Wainwrigbt section is aisa showing caýsiderable activity in its develop- nienit of ail welis which are producing high grade ou ilfor coimmeial uses.

Upon this were placed a mattregs and a blankot, no sheets. The upper bertbs were con- structed with iron rods from the floor Vo the roof suspended by ropes and Eulleys; no headboards separated the The sleeping car which was used on the Grand Trunk railway la 1870, was not quite as primitive as that described; for instance, it had cur- tains added and there wvas some de- grec c privacy; but it was lighted 1y coalo lamps and heated by' stoves at each end ,and the perîl of fire was ever present. The wash room facilities werc most meagre and there werc none of the inducements which make that section of a sîceper the most popuar in early morning. It took a very long time before ladies could be induccd to vcntui'c in- to these travelling public bedrooms. 1She who first essayed a night journey alone in a Pullman was pioncer in- deed! But time worc off the dread and the novelty, and as the sicepers grcw in comfort se also grew the public appreciation. Chair cars are, of course, compara-I tiveiy modern when compared with the sleeper ,and s0 are diners. The first ushers of sleeping cars were giad cnough Vo be able te rush out and snatcb a hasty meal at the rail- way lunchroom, where was born the railway sandwich (and with it the ever popular joke that the bread and ham had been put together a year before, or cIsc carved eut of granite). Not even the most imaginative dream- ed of the days when a passenger would be able to step into a diîîing car and eat an attractively servcd meal in luxurlus surrounding.s. As a matter of f act, the colonist sîceper of to-day is a palace on whcels conipared with the original sîceper cf 5:3 years ago. There is a marked distinction bc- tween the sîcepers and diners on our two railways. The Grand Trunk la I early days entered into contract with the Pullman people and bas everl since used Pullman cars (siecpers,1 diners and chair cars) ; but when the Canadan Pacific was startcd in 1881, Mr. Van Hern, with that prescience which nmade hlm the most rrmarkable railway manager in America, decided that the C.P.R. would own its own equipmcnt in every description and not~ pay toll te any one. As a e- sult the C.P.R. bas ever since rua and managcd its own sicepers, diners, etc., and evemy dollar of profit gees in- to the ailway's treasury, instead of te the Pullman company of Chicago, a poiicy whcb has net oniy retained control of equiîpment but has aise contributed no amaîl sum to zhe an- nual balance sheet. What would the gbos: of a man Iwho used the fimst sîcoper in Can- ada la 1870 say if it wcre ablc te sec the present day cars wt4h their ln- dividual bedroomas and more than the ccmnforts of home? Some time beforo I finish the story of my trip I'm going te give you a "ýclose-up" of how a dining car 15 cequippcd and operated.
