This Sale 82« INCHES to the yd. bhe boy.q‘ are large asgsortâ€" câ€"â€" Hx. ) show to buy em and The next drawback, and one which I imagine to be the greatest, is the absence of a railway, and a more direct way of communication with outside places. The roundâ€"about route to reach this fine farming country, and the exâ€" pense of shipping in supplies, or to settlers bringing in stock and furriturs cannot but be the chief drawback to the country. In the summer time from about the middle of May until the end of October or begining of November | &ccording to the weather, the only | means of communication and of ship-i ping out the surplus produce, or bringâ€" ing in necessary provisions is by the‘ Steamboats from Rat Portage, The, mail which is carmed on the "Edna Brydges" in the summer is received on l Thursday in each week, and letters for y Then their is a large fly know as the Bullâ€"dog fly, which is very tormenting to horses and cattle dum ing the daytime through June and a rart of July, but it is only occasionally that they bite human beings., _ For atbout six wecks,. they are so bai tLat Cattle and lorses are genorally kopt in the stable, or it e door is left open for them to go in and out, when it is dark. On bright days they are the worst, but on very dull days not many are to be seen, and all night the cattle and horses can feed out. Other cattle flies like these dovn East are also very tormentinz, much consequence. I am told that ’ Mosquitoes linger on till the snow flies. There are {two kindas of them here, one adarge an l the other a small kind, both of which are very numrous; and be tween these and other flles, during the first part of the summer, notâ€" muci peace and rest can be got, hardly at anytime or anywhere for them. In the evening and day time people make sinudges to keep them out of their houses, and they prefer the smoke to the intense and vicious sting of these little pests. At night one cannot sleep without a mosquito bar (1 kind of net) hung around and over the bed. In the bush there is no comfort to be had when they are bad, without applying mosquiteo oil to the hands and face, or wearing a net oyet the hat to cover the face, or else by working in the smoke from a sinudge, There is no doubt that in time as the country gets cleared up more, to allow the land to dry, and the water to get off, we will not be troubled any more with them, than they are in other places. I suppose that here, as well as in any other country, the presence of certain things may be classed as "drawâ€" backs" or an "advantage," and yet the absence of similar things may be termod in a similar manner. _ And s9 it is here, it is not exempt from drawbacks though comparatively they may be few, nor void of many advantages, which it has ozer less fayoredportions of the Domi: â€" ion or eyven our own province. The plague of Mosquitoes and flies is perhaps one of the greatest drawhacks the setâ€" tler has to contend with,. Mosquitoes, Black flies, Sand flies and a few other kinds, arso extremoly annoying from about the end oi May to about the midâ€" dle of July, after which they greatly decrease in number, and awre not of To the Editor _ > Grey Review, *Though much bas been already writâ€" ten about this district, I am conscious of the fact that many who are taking an interest in this country, will be anxâ€" iously awaiting further information after what has appeared in former letâ€" ters. I shall now endeayor as far as my experience goes to speak of its adyanâ€" tages and drawâ€"backs, the distance and fae and the best way to reach it. At the present time the most accessible point of entrance to this section of the country is to take a though ticket io Rat Portage and then take passage on one of the small steamers running across the Lake of the Woods and up Rainy River, to the desired destination. The fare for a boua fida settler from Toronto to Rat Portage (1,154 miles, all rail) is $19,70 including the journey to Toronto. Another route is to take the C. P. R. to Owen Sound. and get on board one of the Company‘s fine Steamâ€" ships to Ft. Wiiliim, then take the Canadian Pacific Railway again to Rat Portage, The fawe is (for bona fida settlers) $17, but meals are not included, During the season of navigation from about 19th of May to about the 15th of Noyember the Company‘s boats leave Owen Sound about 1.5 p. m. on Monday Thursday and Satuiday of each week. Any information in regard to sailing, &c, will be willingly furnished by any of the Company‘s agents. One hundred and fifty lbs of baggage are allowed. It is 65 cents per hundred lbs for less than car load of freight. The car"%load is $65, The fare by lake and railroad is $15, and $17 by the allâ€"rail route, The following fares by Steambo: t from Rat Por{age to the several points named in the river, are in addition to the points mentioned above, _Two lines of steamers make two regualar weekly trips ecach from the above named town to Fort Frances calling at all intermedâ€" iite points, The fare to Barwick is $4, Emo $4.25, Big Forks $4.50, Little Forks a d isherwood $4.75, Mosier‘s Mill and Fort Frances $5.00, the above fares inâ€" clude meals and berth on boat. Withâ€" out meals and accomodation the fatres are considerahly cheaper. RAINY RIVER DISTRICT. B ) her, the only | triet i and of shipâ€" i with luce, or bringâ€" / drav ons is by the,whic Portage. The | the _ In regard to "advantages" this dis trict is highly favored, in comparison with other places. There are not the drawbacks and bhardships here to endure which the older settlers experienced in the oider parts of Ontario. Compared with conditions of farmiag in the East at the present time, this as a farming country is far ahead of it, The soi ones. neglected very dong the land is soun overâ€"run with underbrush again. A little extra labor is only required to keep thein down, and soon they disapâ€" pear if the land is kept in cultivation. Other drawbacks there may be, but I think I have mentioned the principal The next drawback is the quick growth of suckers or shoots (poplar and Builin of Gilead) after the timber has been chopped down, and if they ae the outgoing mail are despatched on Friday. in the wintertime thiscoutry | is almo«t entirely shut in from the out»=; side world. only two mails arereceived each month which is carried on sle.ghs.
