Here is part of a typical letter, written from Saskatoon: The helplessness of some of these colonists would, if it were not so pitiable, be ridiculous. To-day in the tent of Mr. C. W.

It may not bei known ~ that the cylinder of one of | those engines comprises air to 85! pounds pressure to the squareIinch, and that at the last moment the gasoline is exploded in it. The re- sult in a 6 h. p. engine is 285 pounds pressure to the square inch. The engines are made from 1} to: 16 horse power. All the parts of’ thses engines are made in the facto- ry and are of the finest material and '1 workmanship. It is safe to say that they are the best gasoline enâ€"é gines in the world to-day.

The whole experience savored of the romantic tq her. Here she was a brave pioneer’s wife. She would cook and sew and work in this far Canadian valley, and fight shoulder to shoulder with her husband to the goal of fortune. She would be a. heroine in the eyes of her English friends. She could hear her friends saying to each other: “There goes the pluckiest little we: man in town.

Talking over the condition of the trail westward, the muskegs, and sloughs, and mud-holes, one English- man remarked to me : "'Whoi ta was There are strange things to be seen and heard in the city of pilgrims. a. tellin’ I that there be fewer nut. megs between here and the fust stop.”- A critical chap in leggings and rid- ing trousers gazed over into the cor- ral of John Barr, the western bro- ther of the camp leader.
