EDITORIAL TOLK (Concluded from Page Two) lized that they had been waiting a long time. Alter leaving Winnipeg our first stop was Portage. Autos met the train, and drove us to the hotel where we were served a most unusual breakfast. Each lady received a corsage bouquet of sweet peas. At each place was a booklet and small sheaves of grain. Each person was served a tender, juicy porterhouse steak, that fairly melted in one’s mfiUth. It was amusing to hear the editorial comment. Une remarked, “That would cost $2.00 at home;” another one said, “On the train ’twould be $2.50;” a third said, “In Chicago it would cost $3.00.” Besides there were platters filled vjith bacon and sausages, so that we thought we must be in the heart of the cattle country, but during the long auto drive that followed, there was no sigif of anything save fields of golden grain. At Dauphin we had our supper and an auto ride. Saskatoon is a beautiful city on both banks of the basatcnewan river. We were driven ail around the city, and to the university of the province, where they have special departments to train returned wounded soldiers, in various ways of earning a livelihood, but especially in practical farming. Our party were the guests; of the cnamber of commerce at a luncheon served in the parish house ol St. Johns. I had the honor as well as the pleasure of playing the organ for the editorial party tu sing “My country, ’tis of and “God be with you, till we. meet again,” in the new and beautiful St. John’s Anglican church that is not quite completed. Saskatoon is called, the new city of the west, and has grown in fifteen years from a hamlei of one .hundred people to a city of 25,000 people. We arrived at Prince Albert 31*5:00 p. m. and were at once driven by auto to the country fair grounds, where supper was served in the main building. Having lived in Nebraska so many years and still claiming it as my legal residence, it is not surprising that I felt perfectly at home, for the fair was not so very unlike the Custer county fair, save in one particular; here there were so many Indians,— men, women and children, —and in Nebraska 1 never saw one outside the Indian school at Genoa. There was a ferris wheel, a merry go round, any number of side show attractions, among them a boxing tent. The boxer, in fancy costume, while talking to a crowd of men and women, was interrupted by two men, (no question but they belonged to the show) who finaljy got into a wrangle with the speaker, and the discussion ended in a twenty minute handy cap boxing bout being arranged, and the audience was called upon as witnesses to it. The men crowded into the tent, and no doubt were stung. Crack the whip proved the greatest attraction for the ed torial party and caused no end of merriment.

The breakfast scheduled to be served at North Brattleford was served on the train, though we had affine automobile ride. At Wainwright it was found impossible to handle so large a crowd, but this was known to the management in time to rearrange things. Here autos took the party through parts of Buffalo park, where they were all with but a few exceptions—Mr. Wilke and Mr. Hotaling, please take notice —fortunate in seeing so many of the elk.and buffalo. Our host was a banker, but with all a cowboy’s disregard for the fears of a tender foot. Every now and then he would suddenly leave the trail, cut across country, up and down the steepest grades, while we could only' scream and hold on. He laughed delightedly and said he had half a mind to give us, something to scream about. ’Twas a good advertisement for the Overland car. A few of our party really had a terrible experience. They were in a Ford, entered the park at six, got lost, and wandered around for hours and no cowboy I ever heard of performed more daring feats than their driver. Once he paused for a moment on the edge of a twenty foot embankment, while they all closed their eyes in utter horror; he dropped the car to the ground below in a desperate effort not to have to spend the night there, and to return his party to the station before the time for the departure of the editorial special at eleven p. m. He succeeded, but without a moment to lose. The lady who told me was on the verge, of nervous collapse. Buffalo park contains the largest herd of buffalo in the world. It covers 110,000 acres and has 72 miles of high wire fencing. It is owned by the government. Our next stop was Edmonton, where many people had engaged rooms for the day at the Macdonald hotel. Ours was a beautiful large room on the first floor, with bath. On our arrival and before our departure we made good use of it. Autos met the

train, took us all to the hotel and later for a spin around the city. We were guests of the board of trade at luncheon, served in the hotel. Afterward farmers,• just as. polite and cultured as city men, came in their cars to drive us any direction in the country we eared to visit. Mr. J. Bruce Walker, the Cana-1 dian government’s representa-; tive with the editorial peoplel and a man known from one end ' of the dominion to the other, j Mrs. Buckingham and myself ( were the guests of Mr. Barry,' who took us to Clover bar in a handsome Cadillac car. We were, all treated to ice cream by Mr. Walker, and Mr. Barry gave us a large box of finest milk chocolates, besides, a box of flowers, — carnations and roses—which we wore to the 7:00 o’clock dinner given in the hotel and also by the board of trade. There was a program of speeches and vocal and instrumental music. The people certainly did everything to make our visit enjoyable. The visit at Jasper park was a rare treat. Colonel Rodgers and Mrs. Rodgers met us at the station. The. editors were invited to walk two miles to the ' tented city and the ladies to ride horse back, pr in democrats, a three and four-seated spring wagon—or in farm wagons. j Many of the party preferred .to walk. It was very funny to view the novel procession, but then the day was full of novel experiences.
