Mr. Ross began his lecture by stating that the Province oi Manitoba is 120 miles at its base. with 100 depth, containing about ten million acres. The Northwest, including Manitoba, is 1,800 miles at its base. with an average depth of 460 miles as its wheat- produolng region. Beyond there is a vast territory, extending to the north, adapted to the raising oi barley, oats, etc. He then gave a lull and interesting description of the lakes. Lake Winnipeg. the largest. is 260- miles long by an average breadth 0! 60 miles. This large lake will necessarily, not only trom its size, but lrom its position, iorm an important factor in the iuture commerce of the country. It is in the centre of the Domi- nion, receiving the waters of six large rivers, averaging 2,504 navigable miles and draining an immense prairie region. having its outlet by the Nelson River to the Hudson Bay. a distance 0! about 400 miles. Lake Manitoba. and Lake Winnipegosis having a natural connection are together about 260 miles long, with an average of irom thirty to twenty miles wide, can easily be connected with the waters of the Asainniboine and Saskatchewan by two small canals, one seven miles long and the other twomiles, thus giving a con- tinuous water communication between Win- nipeg and Edmonton at the Rockyuountains, 900 miles as the crow flies. But the most remarkable water connection is tound in the fact that by a canal 0! one mile between two lakes, viz., Big Stone Lake and Lake Traverse. Min. the Mississ- ippi would be joined to the Red River, there- by connecting New Orleans and the Gull of Mexico with Edmonton at the Rocky Mountains, a distance of over 5,000 miles. The lecturer then proceeded to define the Saskatchewan River, which takes its rise in the Rocky Mountains between par. 49 and 63, 350 miles in its branches and uniting from two large stream, at the base at the Rocky Mountains, called North and South Saskatch- ewan, draining an area of 88,000,000 acres of fertile soilâ€"a territory eight times the size of Nova Scotia and about a third larger than Ontario. Mr. Ross then gave a lull description of the lertile belt extending trom the boundary line up to the Peace River, including. according to ' Col. Dennis’ survey, 176,000,000 acres oi land : of extraordinary fertility. Peace River, Mo- ’ Kenzie River and the vast territory drained by them, with its millions ol fertile acres, ‘ inexhaustible coal beds. oil springs and open ' streams for eight months in the year, were passed over with- the prophetic remarkthat it would be the home of millions.

In speaking of the proba- ble lutnre greatness. wealth and population of the country. he stated what appeared to many 0! the audience a remarkable fact. that the route from England by the Hudson Bay to Lake Winnipeg, the centre of the Dominion of Canada, is eighty miles shorter than [rem England to New York. The rsv. gentleman then spoke oi the Northwest as a field (or missionary enterprise, and of the special work to which he was called by his own Church. He concludedlan ercellent lecture by an earnest and eloquent appeal to the audience in lavor of sustaining missionary work in the great Northwest by their prayers. sympathies and material aid. The lecture ‘ was illustrated by means of two large maps. The fifth annual demonstration of the Ancient Order oi Foresters will be held in Brentiord on the 24th of May. Invitations have been eent to and accepted by thirteen lodges. The day will be taken up with game: of various kinds. In the aiternoon a lacrosse match will be played between the Brants. oi Breniiord, and the Guelph L:- orosee Club. in the evening a grand torch- light prooeeeion will leave the Foreatere' Hall at eight p. m.. and march through the prin- cipal etreets oi the city to the Fair Grounds, where a grand display oi fireworks will be given. A large turnout is expected, and ex- tensive preparations are being made. The Ieilou in the Lake Michigan ports are running great risk by their atrikee to: 12 a day.
