LIFE IN THE WEST. :

Another Interesting Letter From Dr. Jenkins.

The average temperature in winter in Seuthern Alberta is considerably higher than in Eastern Cavads, an in summer not ee high, There is at all seasons a great deal of sunshine. Winte™ weather iv, for the most part, enjoyabie though oecasionally there are stormy time, Out-door esmusements are shooting 41 vb ing and buating. Dueks, geese and war. areabuadant. Prairie chicken and gr 161 of several yarieties are plentiful. Th re are fish in the rivers, but not se very un- merous at the present time. A good fish erman can get a dish of cheice trout and grylings without difficulty ; but a duffer will snot do so well. I am, myself,-ia the latter class, In the mountain lakes, are found trout of immense size, fifty to sixty pounds weight, and whitefish. These are for the most pert taken im nets. The large trout are not eo good as the white fish, which are very good eating.

There are three varities of the genus lupus: the larg? praire wolf, the smal! prairie wolf, andthe timber wolf,—the latter found only in the foethills and moustains and, somewhat rare. The large wolf is more frequent but shy. The emailer, called eoyote, abounde, This isthe fellow we most frequently hunt; and itis sot uncommon to haye four or five rune of oa afterneon and near- ly as many kills, He seldom eacapes, as the hounds are fleeter of foot, unlese he strike a eoulie down which he doubles and as the hounds hunt enly by sight they miss him.

All wolves are cowardly but the large wolf, a powerful brute, makes a desperate fight whea brought to bay,and the hounds get badly cut up and sometimes are killed in the encounter.

At one time, deer used te frequent the prairies but the advent of man has driven them toseek the solitude of the moun- ains, where, also, are to be found mountain sheep—valuable for the horns, wkich are are of great size—goats and beara. To hunt these successfully spertsmén usually camp in the mountains for a month or six weeks in the autumn. A friend of mine got four bears ashort time before I left. The Stewies are the the only tribe of indians who do avy hunting, and they are making big game scarce by reckless destruction at all seasons. This must be puta stop to by the local government, or big game, as the buffalo will soon te a thiag of the past.

Speaking of Indians, I was, on my re- turu to the west, struck with the great advanee in civilization made by the Bioeds and Piegans. Iuetead of the old travois, which consisted of two long poles crossed in froatof the saddle and trailing on the ground behind the cayuse, they have good farm waggons and covered bug- gies, and they are adopting the white man’s costume. They are also far more industrieus, putting up large quantities of hay for the ranchers and mounted police, and they are beginning to breed cattle as well as ponies,

Wolf hunting is capital sport, the gallop at racing pace over rongh ground, with the danger of your horse going into a badger hole aed giving you a pasty fall, lends the necessary excitement, stira the blood and exhilirates the spirit as nething elae, not even fox-hunting can do. Theugh I will not say that the sport all round is quite eqnal to fox-huntimg, the pace is so great thatthe fun is soon over, though the fight at the fiaish mrde by the wolf is more even against a few deer-hounds tham poor little reynard against his fifty- two enemies,

The life on a horse ranch, though rery enjoyable, ia not “all beerand skittles.” To ride all day from meruleg til! night and fail to spot the bunch of horses you are afte’, is auything butexbilirating. Again, if you find your bunch, and after five or six desperate attempts to get away, which they usually make, get them headed for home you meeta sudden storm, they wi!) turn tail toit and nothing you cana do will induce them to face it: you may just leave them till another day, and find your way home if you cam, often ao difficult task. Still you may say tke life ie one quarter work and three quarters «port to a man whe is by nature a horseman.

Cattle ranching, on the o-ber Laxd, is not atall to my taste. The beasts are slow to drive and coatrary. They require riding after in stormy weather, and need so much feed that you have to work bard in haywaking and harvest to previde for thera. But tbey have this adgantage, beef is always in demand and they are sure money.

Agriculture in Southern Alberts, eo far, has not} amounted to much. A grazing country is not, as a rule, adapted to farm- ing. But there are spots of wenderfu: fertility. I know « young EBagliehman who, after working about for ranehers for ® year or two, toek up a quarter rection and last year broke 9 acres with one pleughs ing. This spring he ceeded it with oats and in the fall threshed 1000 bushels of measored grain. Last year another mau grew the same quantity on ten acres with ene ploughing. But I must admit that is the last two seasons the rainfall has been unusually favorable to growth and there was nefrost. Winter wheat hae been

I found many IsJanders there, and was

glad to see that all were doing well and taking prominent positions. From them a'l ireeeived the utmost kindness and at- tention. I arrived in the city shortly after the local elections; and the great vietory of the Hon. Hugh John McDonald, leader of the Conservative parly, was being celebrated in the most enthusiastic manner. Ido not know if their throats were dry from «beeriog, but [ can vouch for the fact that veir efforts to moisten them were inde-« tigable.

Bui the present is nota ca o. thiskind. The record of each day’s events bas proven, beyond the shadow o a aoubt, that the Boere have been for years collecting war material and preparing to make a gigans tic effort to,as they themeelves put it, “drive the British into the sea,” take

forcible possession of the territory belonging to Great Britain, and form of South Afriea a great

Dutch republic. This, from the Boer point of view, may be a praiseworthy ambition, But no trae hearted Briton can sympathize with euch an object, and when he considers that his fellow subjects in the Transvaal have been not only robbed to enrich the enemies of England, but have been actually spat upon by low, ignorant clowns, his blood must boil and his fugers itch to wreak vengearwee on such hounds. Lam unwilling to believe that this loyal eolony contains even one pro Boer. But<if such aone does exist 1 would lend a willing hand to give him a coat of tar and feathers and ride himon a raileut of the couatry.

The issue of the war in which we are se deeply interested cannot be in deubt. The ultimate triumph of the British arms is eertain ; for an explanation of the re- verses we have sufféred we must look to headquarters. The sending of an untried mas, suchas Buller, to take command of our army, leaving behind Roberts and Kitchener, men proved to be well versed in the art of war, aad both successful generale, shows either a want of ability or worse, an unworthy jealoney on the part of the commander-in-chief. Lord Woiseley has always been an over-rated man. Asa leader ef armies he hss done absolutely nothing to entitle him to the im- portant positien im which he has been plaeed.

It isclear that in Buller we haves a general ia whom unfiinehing courage is unfortunately combined with an srrogant selfeuffiiciency which takea the place of resourceful intelligence and a knowledge of wilitary tactics. Now that the magnificent eourage of our men will be directed by generals cf prov- ed capacity we may hope there will be an end to useless slaughter ef our brave sol« diers and a speedy termination te a war that hae already cost so much in blood and treasure.

The Boers, I think, must be comming to the end of their reseurces, and starvatien, ifweean step their supplies will compel submission,
