Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - June 4, 1877, Winnipeg, Manitoba A i in she monday Jun i 4, 1877. The Wall. Our telegraphic intelligence to Day is i usually meagre the Only news Funy inter est being the announce nil it of a Nolor Small Success for Tho turks and circassian insurgents in the caucasus. The report Oil recapture of Arda Huu seems to have been just 0110 of those rumours of which the wish is father to the wit i the Tail ing of the Danube the attempt to Cross May shortly to made with less risk. From our exchanges we gather a few additional items of interest. The Bellicose fooling in Servia is growing in strength and Prince Milan May shortly loud himself obliged to yield to the popular clamor for a renewal of hostilities in spite of the remonstrances of the re. Of the i Orcis. On the other hand a restraining influence May to exercised by the circumstance that All the conservative opposition candidates belong. Ing to the peace party have been elected m Tho supplementary to the supt Tho meeting of the our with Tho emperor of Austria at which is Sittu Ito in Transylvania just across the Carpathian mountains May result in Tomo common understanding with reference to the treatment of the Bonier principalities. It is stated that Tho precise route of the Czar s journey thither has not been publicly announced us it leaved some cons piracy might be Thoi by Acton foot for i de slur lion. The unprovided condition of the turkish army in respect of its medical her vice mentioned in oar is sad to contemplate Apt. La Irzaby on Hisie turn from recent to Armenia in die Entrance to vers which can to removed the most Seri Ous Ono of which is at Irand Hap ids. Hav ing great Confidence in Tho ultimate working out of this important Enterprise we find Jar. Moberly has entered into an arrange ment with the Hudson s 5ay company to construct a Tramway through Tho company s land at Orund rapids and to leaves almost immediately to carry out Chat work. To understand no Assisi Tanco has been Given by Tho Dominion Iov ornament to accomplish this important undertaking and injustice to Tho Iov ornament must state that it was not but it is entirely a private Enterprise of the Hudson s Bay com Pany and As appearances indicate of or. Moberly each no doubt having their Dif Ferent objects to attain which Ibron Natly in this Case will to conducive to Tho interests of the whole country. As to before mentioned other obstructions to navigation have to to overcome on both the Saskatchewan and Rod and we Trust that now Tho principal Ono has been undertaken by private Enterprise All our Public men will not be found wanting in using every exertion to obtain adequate moans from i to Dominion government to have those obstructions and in Are in truth our Magnifico it water of on Tho Banks of the Ciohon in Norway not Lar Distant irom Yang the Eity of Star Hammer formerly stood. It is said to Havo Boon More than seven Dougli i Miles in circumference and to have contained besides a Palaco and Cathedral Many he Frehes monasteries., and other Public Edilito. It brought word that the turkish troops serv ing there were inadequately equipped with medical comforts Ami appliances Ami that owing to the surgical be ing Brunt and of inferior Quality tote wounded were exposed to much Santl Ewing that might otherwise have been prevented. In response to his Appeal to the Public u Large meeting was held in London at which a considerable sum was for the Purchase of surgical instruments and medi Cal comforts for the turkish army in which is exposed to Peculiar hardships ing to the cold climate of the elevated Pla teau upon which it a operating. It is re ported that turkish is about to Start against the to Wuol Anapa on the Cau Casian coast opposite the i Crimea provided with diver. To eau h for and remove the numerous torpedoes which Ilkiv been placed by the i the sea of Vji-1 a Mikva of the mean.-, of com Munmum thou with the North West and the development of the great natural resources of immense territory must a 1 tend most materially to the Prosperity of Winnipeg and of the i Lovince of Manitoba Gem rally and cannot fail to be looked upon by the inhabitants of this province As do serving of every encouragement. It is Well known that during Tho past few years the Hudson s May company found it advantageous to put steamers on Lake Winnipeg Ami the Saskatchewan Alul Kod i vers Lor their own Trade Ami expended very Laigo amounts on that sen ice. They had to contend with Many obstructions in Navi gating Tho a Rivers Tho Long stretch of water Conui Mcavon be soon Winnipeg and fort cd Montosi the most serious of which is i Rand rapids near the Mouth of Tho Saskatchewan River and we learn the Hudson s company have found it not undesirable to improve in j of trans porting their freight for the Interior across the Portage that has to be made Obure. Looking Forward to Tho development of Tho North we St this obstruction will always be found by others As we d As the Hudson s Bav to Pauy a most serious did culty to contend with either in transporting heavy cargoes to or from the North West. One of Tho most needed Romiti Remous of this Prairie country is Coal As the Wood now for fuel is scarce and not of the Best Quality for that purpose and is each sue. Ceding year Tho demand for it is increasing the Supply will and is Rapi Fly decreasing an i consequently the Price is getting higher. The different explorations of the country extending Easterly fro the Easterly base of the Rocky mountains Tor some 201 or ,5uu Miles and northerly say from the Juth parallel of North latitude for several Hundred Miles made tit Dili Ercyl times by Otic cars of is now four Hundred years Suec its silo has been pointed out except by tradition. No vestige of the City at present ionic is. Tho tradition of ruined cities is common to All countries. In Cornwall it is believed that Tho land formerly extended Many Miles fur ther than it does at present and that some of the neighbouring islands i m mod part of Tho continent. On Tho coast of Liri Tauy there is a tradition of i City now destroyed by the sea once exceeding in magnificence the present capita of France. Tho same Story is related in Corn Wall and Somerset. N the coast of North Wales the present inhabitants say that by an irruption of the Sou about the year u Groat num Ber of cities mid the whole of a tract called the Lowland Hundred u Ere Des roved and part of the May of car now form a Jimut Digan.
