Ottawa to North Bay

In a0. P, R, Colonist Car.

| WHAT WAS SEEN THERE

Successful Islanders.

‘Some

The C. P. R. train, going west, leaves Ottawa shortly after midnight. The train Tam travelling on is composed ot three Colonist cars, crowded with passengers, a first-class car not so full, and a *‘ sleeper.” Allthe C. P. R. cars I have seen so far seem, at first sight, to be quite new—so that the first impression they convey is a favorabie one. It is only after you sit | down, and begin to look around, that you \observe the worn upholstery and other |marks of usage, and mentally conclude that the new and fresh appearance must be maintained by the frequent application of paint, oil, varnish, and elbow grease.

The motion of the cars is very easy. While they are dashing along at the rate of thirty-five or forty miles zn hour, [ am ex- tending my notes; and so smoothly do they move that, I flatter myself, the com-

,;positors and proof-readers will find the ;manuscript as plain and legible as mine usually is.

To me the Colonist cars and their occu- | pants are most interesting. These cars are | cane-colored—bright-looking and _ clean. |The backs and bottoms of the seats are hinged together, and by asimple contriv- ance supports are furnished upon which the

backs and bottoms of two seats can be drawn. Thus two seats can be changed into one first-class bedstead. For these

improved bedsteads the railway furnishes at terminal stations cheap mattrasses, rugs, etc., at first cost, orthe passengers may bring their bedding with them and rest and sleep quite comfortably while journeying across the continent.

Shelves about four feet wide, each six or

eight feet long, are attached to the roof of ‘all the Colonist cars. These may be drawn ,down or thrown back at pleasure, and are used to stuw the luggage and provisions ‘immediately required by the colonist as he jtravels along. Inthe case of families, the youngsters sleep in them by night, while ithe old folks rest onthe improvised bed i below ; or when the cars are overcrowded (as they are at present) the young men and boys sit orlie onthem, while the older | persons and the girls remain below.

Each car is provided with a lavatory, or washing place, and if the passenger is pro- vided with a piece of soap and a towel, he ‘(or she) may keep clean as well as com- | fortable.

This latter provision is, however, thrown jaway upon a portion of the immigrants now | going West—Russians or Icelanders, | am told. Filthy and foul smelling, the car in which they are is an abomination, and will need a vigorous scrubbing after they are , out of it.

. Very different is that which a party of | British Colonists has made its quarters. |The odor which greets the nostril is not offensive, the sight which greets the eye is must pleasing. There is an aspect of clean- liness and health about the British party. Good people these for the new country !

A number of young men are just out from London. They were quite disposed to exercise an Englishman’s privilege wher they entered the train at one of the junc- tions and found them already crowded; but they quickly subsided when initiated into the mysteries and uses of the shelves which the train officials drew down from the roof of one of the Colonist sleeper cars.

I passed through these cars while their inmates were for the most part under the benign influence of tired nature’s sweet re- storer. Husband and wife, brother and sister, young men seeking their fortunes, girls seeking places—or husbands, elderly men and their wives to whom fortune had proved unkind in the East, here a young mother with three little children at her side,and in the next bed an old mother and her grown up daughter,—all locked in the arms of Morpheous, passing peacefully but rapidly to the Western land of promise. | went through the train again in the early morning, and found most of them at break- fast--drawing their supplies from well- filled hampers. A family of four had a small kerosene oil stove, and were, by its weans, enabled to have their ‘* coffee hot” as cheaply and pleasantly as when at home. Surely this is immigration made easy !

On thestrength of my observations I| would strongly advise those Islanders who may intend to go out West by the C. P. R. and who are not able to afford the luxuries of the sleeping and dining cars to provide themselves for the journey with a good hamper or valise full of provisions. To this add a towel.or twoand a piece of soap ; and if they should take the second class cars, a small mattrass and a few rugs. The latter can be obtained at the station in Quebec for a dollar or two.

Before morning dawned we had passed Arnprior (where there is a marble quary,) Carleton Junction (population 3,600,) Ren- frew, (population 2000,) Pembroke, (popu- lation 4000,) and several other villages and stations. 1 was informed that the railway for some distance past Carleton Junction, lies through a fine farming country ; but I could not, of course, see it in the darkneas. We had reached Chalk River before it was possible for one to note the features of the country. By the way, the station master at Chalk River-—as | afterwards discovered ~~is an Islander, Mr. Hayden, of Charlotte- town.

The countr Mattawa is hi

flats at intervals, and there a spot of earth cul- tivated or capable of being cultivated : though one wonders how farmers could be fond to settle down in such places while an abundance of good land can be had, east and west for the asking. To my mind, the country here resembles Nova Scotia very strongly indeed ; and it is,like Nova Scotia, rich in minerals. Mr. James Hughes, of Charlottetown, is now in this vicinity as- sisting ia the development of mines of gold and crystallized phosphates.

As far west as Mattawa the railway fol-

lows pretty closely the course of the Ottawa River. The site of Mattawa is for all the world like that of Windsor Junction, near Halifax. But west of Mattawa the railway leaves the Ottawa, striking westward to- wards Lake Nipissing, and we soon enter a better section. A tine growth of wood begins to appear; rocks are not so often seen. As we approach North Bay the Islander might almost fancy himself home again. The lay of the land, the character of the forest, the tall birches, the fir, spruce, juniper, hemlock and cedar are the same; the raspberry bushes and thick underwood on either hand are the same; the stumped fields, partially ready for the plough, passed from time to time, are the same. But the gray rock, cropping through the soil here and there, and the yellowish gray sandy soil, which appear on the edges of the road-bed, dispel the illu- sion, if it has been entertained. The last man with whom [ shook hands at Ottawa was Mr. John Wellington Hughes, lately of County Line—now a transient, or, it may be, a permanent resi- dent of Ottawa. By a curious coincidence, the first man by whom I was greeted on my arrival at North Bay, was his son, Mr. Mortimer Hughes, who is a clerk—and a highly respected and rising clerk—in the Station House, at this place. Mr. W. E. Bagnall is also here—chief of the staff of train dispatchers stationed at this import- ant terminal point. 1 was not long in find- ing him out; and at his kind invitation “stopped over” for a day and a night.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

Those Passes.

Sir,—The public was informed, through the newspapers, that passes would be issued on the P. E. Island Railway to Exhibition Commissioners attending the Prince and the King’s County Exhibitions, Acting on this information, several Commissioners applied to the Secretary of the Provincial Exhibition, Mr. A. McNeill, for the passes aforesaid. What was the result? It turned out that these passes were only intended for Queen’s County Commissioners—and for Prince and King’s County Commission. ers, tov, providing the latter saw fit to go to Charlottetown and leave and return by special train at 90o’clock a. m., for their respective County Exhibitions! “Tis ever thus. Everything isdone to accomodate Queen’s County, while Prince and King’s are compelled to play secund fiddle. We don't begrudge the Lieut. Governor a special car, but thereis no necessity of giving in connection with it a special train for the accommodation of Queen’s County Com- missioners and « few of their friends,

Such av arrangement amounts to*this : Charlottetown Exhibition Commissioners, &c., can travel free to Prince and King’s County Exhibitions, while the Commission- ers residing in those two Counties cannot attend their own County Exhibition with- out having to pay, if they go by train, the full fare exacted on such occasions. Why not treat all Exhibition sioners alike? A special train costs about sixty dollars aday. In the way of dollars and cents then the special from Charlotte- town is no saving to the Government; and besides if that amount were expended in providing passes for bona fide Commission- ers on the regular trains, it would be much more like fair play to those who happen to reside outside of Charlottetown. The fact is, there is no need train to Summerside and Georgetown on the day of the Exhibition. Give the Lieu- tent Governor a special coach by all means. He is worthy of it. He would not, how- ever, object to travel by the regular train. In any case, free passes should be made available to all Commissioners, city and

Commis-

of a special

country alike. Either this, or do away with the passes altogether. Yours, a AJP.

Crop Prospects and Other News. Sirn,—As | see by ,the Summerside Journal and other western papers that par- ties are giving accounts of this years crops it might not be out of place to hear from the south end of Queen’s County. Thehay crop, to begin with,

much better than last year, as some that only had a box cart load then have housed lifteen tons this season. The wheat has been fair, the Messrs Sqnarebrigs having thrashed two hundred bushels. The oats have turned out more bushels than stooks. There are some complaints about the potato crop, as we had prospects of an abundant crop, but in digging find a shortage to the acre. Tho turmp crop is somewhat light, as the majority of the peo- ple had to seed the second time owing to drouth.

The Dominion pier, which is now almost completed and ready for shipping upon, has undergone a thorough repair under the supervision of Hector D. Morrison,

The shipping of produce has commenced, and would no doubt be largely carried on here had wethe pleasure of having the steam dredge tu improve our harbor, which Belfast had the promise of if William Welsh got a seat in the House of Commons. The seat has been well warmed, but the sand has not been removed.
