NOTES

es a Trip to the North-West and | British ¢olumbia.

As one whe had the privilege of accoim- panying the Prime Minister on his tour from Ottawa to the Pacitic coast during the summer of 1886, it has seemed to not out of place that I should endeavor briefly to record my personal impressions of what which was practically the inauguration of the Canadian Pacific Railway, and as such pos-

nme

I saw and heard on that occasion,

sessing an historic interest. We left Ottawa at 11.45 p. m., on Satur- day, the 10th July, by the regular train, to

which was attached Sir John Maedonaid’s

private car, *‘Jamaica.”

At breakfast time,next morning,we were at North Bay (364 miles from Montreal) which is the point where the Government link, connecting the C. P. R. with the On- tario system of railways runnivg north from Toronto, joins the main _ line. Through some deiay, this connection had not been made, and a traveller from Toronto bound for Winnipeg was in conse- quence obliged to come all the way round by way of Ottawa, This has since been remedied.

‘The scenery along this part of the road is. commonplace, the country through which we passed being to all appearances of comiparatively little value from an agri- cultura] point of view, and lacking that boldness which is seen further on. Rocks and large areas of scanty vegetation abound with tiresome monotony. Nevertheless the country did not strike me as being so bad as I had imagined it to be. I observed, from time to time, large patches of, not exactly fertile land, but land out of which something could be maie. Then again the timber, though as a rule small and scrabby, was in some places of fair size.

This region, at all events near the rail-

wood is all of second ygrewth, and what struck me as being remarkable is that where the forest primeval had been of pine or other soft wood, the second growth 1s of birch principally—all hard wood. .

1 noticed a great number of smal) lakes. | We passed them at every mile or oftener.

At Sunbury. (443 miles from Montreal, ) which is the place of junction with the Al- goma branch, there is-situated the immense copper mine of which much has been said anu written of late. L see by the papers that an American expert, who has been there prospecting, reports the existence of one hundred million tons of copperoreat that point. This discovery had not been made when we passed through, though it was known that large quantities of copper ex- isted in that locality, and I recollect one of our party pointing out that the road_ bed over which we were passing had been hewn through copper.

Very little life was observed along the road. Here and there a rough cabin ; now and then the remains of some construction camp,—these and the apparent apparition of section men, were all we saw.

Early on Monday morning we came in: sight ef the waters of Lake Superior. The

is deeply indented,and rocky and bold. At places we run very close to the Lake, along’ the edge of high rocks. I can scarcely say we look down into precipices —such language must beg reserved for British Columbia ; nevertheless, the scenery is distinctly bold in its character. The engfneering difficult- ses along this part of the road must have been enormous. We _ pass through great cuttings, round the very edge of steep hills and oyer immense trestles which are generally built on curves. I notice—why, lam not able to say—the road is full of what an eminent statesman, speaking of a smaller road in the Lower Provinces, once called ‘‘ sinuosities.” At one piace we double to such an extent that after going six miles we see the road over which we have come, across a bay only a few hundred yards wide. | first thought it was a parallel track and was quite surprised to find that it was the line over which we had been, travel- ling. Jackfish Bay (845 miles from Mon- treal,) is a point of view specially worth seeing, It is said that the obstacles here were so stupendous that even the C. P. R. people, with all their energy and pluck, al- most despaired of surmounting them. But they have done so,

/ Towards 4 p. m., we reach Port Arthur, 995 miles from Montreal. Lying off the town, helping to form the harbor of Thunder Bay, is Thunder Cape, a remark- able promontory in which one can trace some resemblauce to «a man lying at full length on his back. The Indian tradition is that it is the great Maniton at rest.

We stayed here but a few minutes, just long enough to be boarded by the Mayor and local magnates, who arranged that the formal welcome to the Premier should take place on his return.

Seven miles from Port Arthur, up the Kaministiquia River, is Fort William. Near here is the once famous Neebing Hotel. It has been added to and somewhat changed from what it was in earlier days. The Kaministiquia is quite a river, in which ships can enter and navigate a con- siderable distance. It is much deeper than one would imagine from its size. At or near Fort William I saw « large schooner close to the bank. At a littie way off it looked as though it were in a field, for the water is not visible at a distance,—the country

way track, has been swept by fire, for the’

scenery here begins to grow fine. The coast |

e wed a terrific thuaderstorm, accompan'cd by a perfect deluge of rain.

Speaking of meals reminds me to say a word about the C. P. R. Dining Cars. They are all that could be desired. The cars themselves are well fitted up, the cooking is goud, and the attendance—well, not so good. The whole forms a vast improve- ment upon the old ‘15 minutes for refresh- ments” system.

I must not forget to say that after leav- ing Port Arthur, and for a good while after, we saw the old Dawson Road, form- erly the only means of communication between the east and the far west. it is now, since the opening of the Railway, wholly unused, and is overgrown with grass. Soon, its very traces will be oblit- erated. Over it the forces under General Wolseley passed in the Red River expedi- tion of 1870. I am glad I saw it, for it is historic.

We passed Rat Portage, that famous battle ground between the Provinces of Ontario and Manitoba, in the night; I therefore missed seeing the blood-stained field, and also certain high trestles near here, though a peculiar creaking noise, about 2a. n., assured me that the latter were still there, and that we were at that moment suspended over the chasm they bridged.

We arrived at Winnipeg on Tuesday morning, the 13th—three nights and two days from Montreal, from which place it is distant 1,425 miles. Shortly before we drew up at.the station we crossed the Red River—a dirty looking stream with low muddy banks.

There was a large number of people at the station to meet the Premier. Let me say here that | am not engaged in chronie- ling any party triumph. In any reference lmay make to receptions which met the Premier during this trip, 1 do not mean to couvey the ideathat he received them as the Conservative chieftain. The honors were, in all but a few special instances, paid to him in his official capacity as Prime Minister of Canada—the first Prime Minis- ter who had visited the West, and they were rendered by Liberals and Conserva- tives alike. This is made clear by the fol- lowing extract which | take from the edi- turial coluunns of the Winnipeg Free Press, the leading Reform paper of the Province, published the day of our arrival in Win- nipeg:—

‘*THE PREMIER'S VISIT.

‘** To-day will mark apn epoch in the history of Manitoba and the Canadian North-west, in that it will be the date of the first Canadian Premier's visit. This morning's train will in- clude in its passenger list Sir John A. Mac- donald, the tirst Premier of Canada, who, dur- ing his term ot office, has honored us with a visit. How widely we diverge from the Right Hon. gentleman in his administration of the affairs of the Dominion, especially those of this part of it, ig not a matter here to pro- perly «liscuss, or for that matter admit; that comes in better time and place. To-day we welcome Sir John Macdonald as we would welcome ho man occupying a less commanding position in Canada. The trip which the Pre- mier is now making from the Capital to the Pacitic should not, and we believe is not, in- tended to be construed a ‘ political progress ’ in any sense of the term, but simply a tour of recreation and hoped for recuperation of health; and we are sure that we but voice the sentiments of the people of the North-west in

‘saying that we trust that all he or his dearest

friends could wish to contribute to this end will be fully realized. This being so, we con- fidently expect from the people all ‘along the line,’ a reception so gracious that it cannot be misunderstood. Welcome, thrice welcome, the Premier of Canada to the Canadian North-

| west.”

The first thing that struck me on looking out of the car window atthe Winnipeg station was the number of faces I knew. It seemed to me that fully a quarter of the more prominent people were old friends— from all parts of Canada—Charlottetowa, Halifax, Quebec, Montreal, Ottawa aud Toronto. i had never been within a thou- sand miles of Winripeg, and yet I doubt whether I could goto three cities in all Canada and meet with so many friends at once.

1 was quite unprepared for the growth of Winnipeg. In 1871 there was scarcely one single house outside the walls of the Fort, which are still standing. Now it is a flour- ishmg city of from 20,000 te 25,000 people, Main Street would do credit to any city in the world. It is very long, some two miles or more, and of exceptional width, 138 feet, excellently paved with wooden blocks from end to end. The city is well laid out, is perfectly level—that goes without saying —is lighted by electricity, has three capital daily papers, and, in fact, is posseesed of all the appliances of modern civilization. There are many fine buildings, notably the Cauchon Block —a monument of one man’s folly. Trinity Church (Anglican) is an attractive looking building of white brick, which is extensively used here.

Government House, where I stayed most of the time I was in Winnipeg, is situated about a mile from the centre of the town. First one comes to the Court House, a spacious building of white brick, surround- ed by a neat picket fence, then the Provin- cial Building, and then Government House —all three similar in appearance, at least in so far as they are all somewhat of a size, all of white brick, all solid and substantial, and all surrounded by grounds newly brought under cultivation.

Government House is nicely furnished and well arranged. I had the pleasure of knowing the Licutenant-Governor and Mrs. Aikins and most of their family in Ottawa, so we did net meet as strangers.

I spoke of the Red River as being a small, muddy stream, but how shall I describe the Assinabvine, which falis into the Red River at this place? 1 crossed it on the evening of my arrival to see some friends of mine who live on its other bank, in that part of Winnipeg which is called Fort Rouge. The extreme drought which

being so flat, and the river according to the eastern idea of rivers, very small, though of very respectable size when compared with streams I saw further west dignified | by that appellation. :

While at our evening meal we experi-

prevailed throughout the Northwest had doubtless much to answer for, but the fact is: the Assinaboine River looked to me more like an open sewer than anything vise,
