For Halo at Tho i Uisch Lorlee. Sent to any address on receipt of Price. Saturday junk 9, 1877. The changes in the Dominion government reported by our Ottawa devoid of All political significance and Sim ply of an internal character Call Lor no extended comment. The opposition press has been circulating rumours of All sorts with respect to Cabinet disagreements for some past Anil foretelling that a split must result from disagreements which they have alleged rend and tear Tho ministry. Tho outcome of All these prophesies is such As to altogether Stu Latify Tho oracles for we find when Cabinet changes really do occur nothing sensational than a Transfer of portfolios. It is Well known that or. Blake s health has been anything but satisfactory for fully twelve months past. To suiters from violent headaches and his physicians advise change of air and scene and abstinence from mental exertion. Tho Exchange of offices will afford or. Blake As president of the Council an Opportunity for rest and recreation which would not have been pos sible to him while holding the portfolio of minister of Justice at Tho same per forming Tho functions of attorney general. Or. Lala june who vacates the department of Inland Ixo Vouno to succeed or. Blake sits in parliament for Tho constituency of Jacques Cartier. For which lie was first re turned at the general election in 1s72, being re elected by acclamation at Tho last Gener Al election lie was appointed a Merlier of Tho Cabinet last november and re elected after a contest on Tho 2sth of that month. His scat is contested and Tho trial has yet to come Oft. Or. Cauchon Whoso energies have found no held for their exercise while enjoying the easy chair belonging to him As president of the i Ivy Council will now find occupation in Tho Inland Revenue department. Let tis Hope that he will to so charmed with the task of overlooking the rangers and with raking in the spool unix that his gaze May to diverted from contemplation of the throne soon to to Bova cant upon which he is said to have set his heart. To feel quite sure that Manitoban would prefer that to devoted himself to Tho general service of the Dominion rather than to the service of this province in particular. In hitch Case with exuberant patriotism we might exclaim Happy Manitoba Happy Canada to Lek Kau Milt the latest advices from the fur marts of the world indicate that Tho Trade in that is exceptionally Dull. The new York Flat scr Clothier and furrier an accepted authority upon the fur its last Issue says that in some places in the More actually being paid for raw skins than they will fetch in the Eastern markets and it adds the prevailing opinion that skins of All kinds must come Down still More Titis state of All airs must have a marked Chi act upon business in Winnipeg and other Points at which so much is generally done in collecting furs from Tho Hunters themselves and the Plain traders. A few Days ago we stated that the few traders who had arrived from the Plains intimated that Tho season s take had been Small and the Ordinary number of traders would not to in this sea son. Benton Montana is perhaps the strongest competitor Winnipeg has for Tho fur Trade and a paper published there prophecies that unless there is an Early improvement in the Market the shipment of furs and Robes from that Point will be extremely Light As in addition to Tho take being Small All who can will hold Over till next Spring.

As there is every indication of an Exten emigration from this and other sections of Ontario to Manitoba during Tho present and following seasons it May not come amiss for the a Craid to make a few remarks concerning Tho merits of Tho Prairie province As a place for settlement. One of Tho most common errors into which people of this province Are liable to fall in connection with the North West consists in the ready credence Given to statements of friends who have spent a few possibly a few weeks or months in Manitoba and Whoso evidence is about As valuable an if they had never seen Tho place. To form any just estimate of what Manitoba really is a residence of some years in Tho province is necessary and Tho Universal verdict of those who have thus resided is that it is indeed Tho agricultural Paradise of Tho continent. The wonderful Richness of Tho soil Tho ease with which it is made ready to pro Duce extraordinary crops Tho Sal Brity of Tho climate in summer and Tho uniformly dry bracing air of Tho Winter make it a most desirable place for residence. It has its drawbacks to to sure. The principal among these is the Lack of communication with Tho outside world. The consequent Groat expenditure incurred in getting there in the first Jelaco and Tho exorbitant freights charged on goods entering Anil leaving the province constitute an Ovil which nothing Short of Tho completion of Tho Canadian a Acilie railway can remedy and one which induces very Many Young agriculturists of Ontario to Migrate to Tho Western states and Texas localities which Are not to be compared with Manitoba in Point of natural resources but which Aro amply provided with railway communication. The govern ment would do Well to Ponder upon this state of a lairs and Endeavor to Complete in some reasonable Tho Oft promised railway to Manitoba. Another drawback to Tho Progress of Manitoba has been the Grasshopper which during several years since the province has been open to immigration has devastated portions of its cultivated area coming in upon it from its Birthplace in the arid Plains of Kansas and Nebraska. Up to Manitoba enjoyed Twenty years total immunity from this pest last year there was not a Grasshopper in the land there is Nono this year and those in Locust lore Are sanguine that another lengthened period of immunity has Sot in. This being the ease and taken in connection wit i the fact that at Tho present rate of increase of population in a very few years Tho province will to All under cultivation no fear of Grasshoppers need to entertained. Cultivated Fields do not Breed the and with very Little joint exertion on Tho part of settlers when there Aro no Large uncultivated tracts in the neigh boyhood for the ova of Tho to Hatch Short work can to made of a of hop pers. It must be remembered that while thus showing Tho advantages of Manitoba As an agricultural province Tho does not advise any body who is doing Well or even passably Well Here sell and com Mence anew in the a proceeding would be eminently foolish in the majority of cases. But there Are always Young sons of Farmers growing up and who being desirous of doing for themselves find there not being us Fliciani acreage in the old Homestead to each a share according to his desires naturally look toward the newer countries. A Large portion of these havoc made Homes for themselves in the Western states and who had Tho matter been pro Perly represented to have gone to Manitoba which gives much greater natural advantages and Tho additional one of being under Tho Flag As the province of their birth. Very Many canadians who years ago went to Iowa Minnesota and other Western states have seen their mis take and Are Hocking to Manitoba in hundreds.
