Opening up a mission station in Morden was no very easy task for there was no place to meet together. Mr. Borthwick, the pioneer in this regi2n, had indeed conducted services in homes and school houses through- out the district, but the railway stac tion was a new thing, and some way there was a feeling that before long when the grain elevator raised its head there would be peOple. ‘It need- ed no large room, however, to hold all that could be gathered together, even though all denominations unit- ed to swell the gathering. Two stores have been opened, farm imple- ments were arranged along the prairie. the primeval storehouse of the \Vest. :Ain enterprising family had started a boarding house and ihere and there were a few scatter- ied buildings testifying to the desire of some to seek a home at the place where pr-Cphets fondly declared would yet stand the city of the West. Under these circumstances we were {fortunate in securing the use of an unused implement shed belonging to Mr. Cruickshank, where for the sum-‘ mer Presbyterian services were held at one hour, Methodist at another and later in the season, Baptist at another.

Instead of , the prairie, with strips of timber along the chan- nel of Dead Horse Creek, and, patches of shrubs here and there in- terspersed, there are orderly arrang-L ed streets with rows of trees that have grown so luxuriantly that it might well be named “ The Forest Town of the West.” Nowhere in Ontario do I know a town that seems more overgrown with trees right up D the sides of the dwed- iugs than in this VVestHn t:wn. l i I l I r I g I l l'h-fi'country roads showed changes’ no less startling. In former days the! primitive trails tcok the nearest route to the desired destination. Nothing barred (their course. Not only prairie, but wheat fields were tracked and (with a lordly air the track was made over the choicest lands. Now the advent of fire Jenc-‘ ing has hemmed the traveller up in the public ways. Roads are graded and water channels are being made. Gravel is put on after the manner of the East, and the days of the cool soft track with the occtisional slough through which the horses had to plunge are about en'led. Nothing presents a more emphatic contrast to the old days than the Itace of the land. In olden times the 'wheat fields were l.ke big patches in the great stretch of the unbro- ken veldt. Now the arable land is the rule, the original sod the excep- t ion . With the passing years, however, has come some disadvantages. Cn every side there is the evidence of the spread of weeds. The well known mustard greets the eye in many places. I hear also complaints of the Spread of the sow thistle, but the Manitoba pest seems to he the French weed. There are whole fields entire- ly given up to its growth, and wheat is seen struggling tor an existence side by side with the shameless in- truder. Summer {allowing checks it to some extent, but does not kill it. A favorite device is to let the weeds grow till the month of Jun", then The present seascn promise-s to he Specially fruitful.

Farquharson. The district around Arden is mark- cd out by a peculiar gravel ridge. varying from a hundred yards to a mile in wiith, and having a mean height of about ten feet. This for- mation stretches in a north wester- ly and south easterly direction over a distance of fifty miles or more, and has from time immemorial been used as a highway for traffic. The im- press of the vehicles made by the Hudson Bay traders is still visible, and though it does not coincide with the.road allowance in the modern isurvey, the track was bought Up by the government and preserved as a valuable natural highway. The rail- way company have in it pits from which they draw great loads of the finest gravel. At the north end of the town there is a place where the sand and gravel is used for making cement building blacks, tiles and bricks. On inquiring where the ce- ment is procured I was told that it came from Durham, and that the ce- ment of that land was good. With the best cement and the finest graâ€" ;vel. it is not to be wondered at that wfie'wme assured of the excellence of the quality of blocks and tile that tOI'Y- , , i A. S.
