Hoping it may be interesting to your

many readers I shall give you a short ac- count of our trip en route to Regina, the headquarters of the North West Mounted Police

Leaving home, Bloomfield, Prince Ed-

ward Island, April 10th we arrived in Charlottetown the same day. The trains on the previous day were de- layed by heavy snow storms. We left Charlottetown next day at7 o’clock on the Minto for Picton. We encountered great fields of ice,but the steamer did not seem to mind it in anyway, cutting her way through, with every ease, proving in every way how the Minto “cutsl ice.”

We arrived at Pictou about 10.30 a. zu., thus making the trip in about three hours and one half. We took the train from Picton to Truro where we met Col. Morris who has charge of those recruiting for the Police. The accomodations on trains from Picton to Truro are V very poorly furnished. On the line between Qhese places my brother and I passed the medical examination and on the following day were sworn in.

We left Truro forty _.one in number on

Friday 13th, in a tourist car byfthel. C. Railway.The accommodation was verygoed but we had no porter from there to Mon- treal. The boyswhojoinad the force in Truro, were all first~class young men; smart, active and intelligent.-boys who I had left good positions behind them, such as druggists. clerks, teachers, students, etc. We had no scrapping or qiiarreling aboard; everything welt on without any friction. When night came on each one turned in and slept till it was clear enough toshow him the country ,over which he was travelling. Passing through Nova

[Scotia it was somewhat pleasant, but 1~_when`1we reached the nort§e'rp part of ,New Brunswick and up: the ‘I eastern part of Quebec, y* gotthe cold chilling winds of the Gnlfof St. Lawrence, _which made you think _of D’Arcy McGee’s Cartier’s voyage to America, “Where the wind from Thule 'freezes the word upon the lip." We skirted the St. Lawrence for many miles, and looking at the rough- est country I have ever seen. _ We arrived at Montreal about five o‘clock in the evening, passing over the great Victoria Bridge at Montreal, the longest tubular bridge in the world.

Montreal is a large city, ‘con-

We stopped in Winnipeg about six

hours when we boarded the train going still further west, over- immense tracts of prairie, the former hunting ground of the Indian and half breed. Wild geese, wild ducks prairie chickens and all sorts of wild game, are here in abundance and are easily got by any one who is able to handle ariile. ' _

We reached Regina about 7 o’c-lock in the morning and walked about two miles, to the place where are situated the Policefheadquarters.
