Quick, July 7

Dent Sawle:—Hrving returned from @
short trip after thirty years, to the
country where I was born I have much
food for reflection, 1 found a very
sreut difference in the two countries,
porticularly on the retnrn trip. From
n cursory ohservation one’s impression
ix that one has.stepped back into con-
ditions of 75 years ago, aS Scon as Qne
ctosses the line.coming back into Can-
nada. Of course it is a relief to slow
up after the strenuous trip ner oss the
line. Que does get so; slowed up that
they cannot stand. the strain of pro-
vress, out where things, move. This
ix the best next-year-country that 1
have seen for o long time. Even the
peairies have a smi amount of ani
ietion left. Imt west of Red Pass, ane
wonders. Simil wonder! A country
that will le down and zo tu sleep, jn-
stead of going to war, after Yancou-
vor stole its.vailway, and ninurkets,
should be embalmed anyhow.

just. one good thing I can say for this
straek of rust. On the tr ip out I rode

coaches that must have been discarded
down in Quebec (so they gént them up
here for we poor heathen)- however,
it was’ the smoothest part of the ride.
The engineer did not gnap your head
off in starting and stopping.

While it seems a very foolish waste

I must say that across the line 1
found the dust ond dirt unbearable, |.
except for the trip on the Zephyr from
Chicago to Minneapolis. I suppose

that while these onts were not a heavy
