Speaking about the level prairie, 1 may put down this joke agaiast myself. Sitting out one evening after dinner on a low bench, enjoying a cigar, | noticed afar off, very low down on the horizon, what seemed to me a short, bright line of fire. It arrested my attention, and as I looked it grew brighter and larger. I jumped to the

conclusion that it must be one of those prairie fires | had heard and read so much about. Mayne Reid’s stories came before my mind ina moment, and larger and brighter grew my fire, drawing nearer it seemed with great rapidity, until suddenly I saw to my great disgust that it was only—the

'

moon rising! Possibly I should not have

said that I had dined. However, I will let it stand and trust to my general character.

On Tuesday, the 20th July, we left Regina for our next stopping place—Glei- chen. The through travelled is much less promising than any I h.d yet seen west of the Red River.. The whole is flat, unbroken prairie, extremely dry and everywhere rent by large fissures Alkali abounds,

The prairie was on fire in many places— no illusion this time—sometimes on both sides of our track at once, and as we passed we could see the flames rolling along like waves of the sea, leaving a black desolate waste behind. In other places, the prairie presented a mottled appearance —patches having escaped the fire, these being in about equal ratio to the burnt portion. Fortunately there was not much to burn, as the grass was very short and spare, and there was not a vestige of a tree to be seen.

At sbort intervals I observed narrow,

though well defined, pathways cross- ing the track generally at right angles. These are trails, made by

the now departed buffalo on their way to water, on which occasion they always travelled in single fyle. These pathways resembledan old furrow mark, and are quite distinct. They are frequently met with, and together with the buffalo bones that lie bleaching on the prairie, are the only signs left to us of the animals which, but four short years ago, blackened the prairie for miles. Their sudden disappearance has always been somewhat of a mystery to me. A young half-breed at Regina told me that he well remembered seeing the spot on which that town stands covered with buf-

side. The youth was not more, | should judge, than 16 years of age, and had refer- ence to a period not further back than six or seven years. Now there is not a singie buffalo in the whole North-west. It is, in- deed, reported that some three or four were recently killed far up in the Peace River country, but this is not authenticated, and if it were would but serve to corroborate my statement. They have simply been slaugh- tered wholesale. I recollect hearing some two years ago, as an illustration of the rap- idity of their extinction, that in 1882 there were 150,000 butfalo robes brought into St. Paul, and in 1883 but 4!

We passed through Moose Jaw (which is situated 398 miles west of Winnipeg) at an early hour, and I did not see it. The country beyond is described by the fore. going with the exception of the surround- ings of Maple Creek, which were fresh and creen. After this the country becomes more broken. Medicine Hat (660 miles from Winnipeg) where we cross the South Saskatchewan, is in a valley surroundec. by a circular range of hills, which are a great relief to the eye after so much prairie. ‘{t is a rather picturesque place, though blaz- ing hot. We were received here by a large

‘crowd, and a piper clad in orthodox gar-

ments, who discoursed sweet music during our few minutes stay.

We crossed the Saskatchewan over a fine new bridge, and then there was more dry prairie and tires ‘without number, which ex- tended nearly to Gleichen, at which place we halted for the night, it being deter- inined that we should travel only by day in order the better to enable us to view the country through which we were passing. Gleichen is the railway station nearest to the Blackfoot Crossing, and it is here we had arranged to meet ‘‘ Crowfoot,” the chief of the Blackfeet Nation, and his braves. The train, however, was some hours late, and the Indians, not understanding the reason of our non-appearance at the ap- pointed time, had gone away in a huff.

The white people, headed by General Strange, whose ranche is in the neighbor- hood, presented the Prime Minister with an address of welcome, to which the latter made an appropriate reply. The General, who was attired in the dress of a cow boy, thereupon proposed three cheers for ‘* The Grand Old Man”; “not,” added he, ‘thank God like the G. O. M. onr friends on the other side of the water are cursed with,” from which I inferred the General is not a Home Ruler.

pounds—at a single meal, and then lie torpid for acouple of days! Our drive home was in the dark. We fell in with a company of cow boys herding a large drove \of cattle—their French, I regret to say, was very bad.

When we arose inthe morning we ex- pected to find the Indians ready to proceed to business, but learned that few of them had arrived. It seems that, as the Premier had kept them waiting yesterday, they were of opinion that he should await their copvenience to-day, and accordingly it was not until nine o’clock that Crowfoot and his staff errived on the ground and the pow wow began.

It wasa memorable scene, and some of us much wished for a photographer, that it might be preserved. At one end of the platform, where there was a large clear _— three wooden benches were placed thus :—

Indians.

On the cross bench were seated Crowfoot and three of his principal chiefs—‘* Old Sun,” ‘* Three Bulls,” and ‘‘ Eagle Tail.” Behind Crowfoot, at his shoulder, stood the interpreter, whose name, by the way, was Billy Gladstone, and round the corner at his right hand was Larue, the Police inter- preter.

The Lieutenant Governor, who accom- panied us from Regina thus far on our way, and the Prime Minister, in his quality of Superintendent-General of Indian Affairs, occupied chairs at right angles to the cross bench, and squeezed behind their chairs and the wall of the station house were the humbler members of our party, including myself. Onevery side a motley crowd pressed on us. To lend eclat to the scene, a fyle of police in their bright scarlet uni- forms were drawn up in the back ground, Every available point was occupied by Indians, men, women and children in various stages of hideousness. Many of the Indians were in full war paint, their faces being bedaubed with red and yellow ochre. Some such as ‘Old Sun,” who sported an old police tunic, and a tall beaver hat— mounted before and behind with flaming red plumes, were gorgeous to behold.

Crowfoot himself was in undress, which consisted of little more than a dirty blanket, the reason being that he was in | mourning for Poundmaker,who had recent- ly died.

In strange contrast to this wild scene was our engine, which stood at a little dis- ‘tance blowing off its steam, the private car |which we had brought from Ottawa, and 'the ceaseless tick of the telegraph that came through the open window, reminding us, not ungratefully, of more civilized parts.

The proceedings began by the Lieutenant Governor, who was received with marked deference, saying that the Premier was a greet chief, next to the Governor General, the greatest chief of all, and that he had come from far to see his red children and to listen to theircomplaints. This Billy Gladstone translated in sonorous tones— the Indians expressing their satisfaction by grunts.

Crowfoot at this point, raising his rather skinny hand, called out in a loud. voice to the Indians, telling them to listen atten- tively to what was about to be said,in order that when they went home, they would not be going from camp to camp, asking ‘‘what did the great chief say.” This admonition he repeated several times during the con- ference. This done, he suddenly threw away the cigar he had been smoking and began his speech. He alluded first to the burning of the prairie by the C. P. R. engines, and protested strongly against such a state of things being allowed to con- tinue. He said that if he Indians burnt the white man’s property they would have to make reparation, and they thought it very hard that the white man’s railway should burn their pasturage without their receiving any compensation therefor.

Old Sun and the other two head chiefs were all this time smoking one pipe between them, each one taking a whiff or two in his turn, and then passing the pipe to his neighbor, the whole with admirable stoicisin.

Crowfoot here paused for a reply to what he had said. The Premier answered him that he thought his complaint against the railway a reasonable one and promised to do what he could to remove the gzound of it.

Crowfoot then began again, going into the great question of grub. He wanted an assurance that none of his people should ever want food. The Premier cautiously replied that the Government would always endeavor to see that nobody, willing to work,should be allowed to die of starvation, but, he added, the Uanadian people expect the Indians some day to work for their liv- ing as they themselves had to work. On hearing this ‘*Old Sun,”a lazy looking old fellow, asked the interpreter to say it over again, which being done, he looked very

rave.
