When in the City of Ottawa a few Days ago i in company with my brother went to see the Hon. Or. Mills minister of the Interior. We had a Good talk with him about Manitoba generally and among other things railroads. The Hon. Gentleman told us that if in Tho opinion of the government Engineer or. M. Smith the Northern route for the . Was practicable the line As Laid Clown in our maps would be adhered to but if on the contrary the said Engineer deemed the route impracticable a new sur vey would to made for Tho . From Sel Kirk directly West close to the South of Lake Manitoba on through the Little Saskatchewan Valley. And further or. Mills told us i Hope i am not violating any Confidence in making this matter Public that in Case the . Kept the Northern route the government would to or car d to suggest ail support some scheme by which colonization roads May be built. Or. Mills map representing his ideas showed u line from Emer son North West in the direction of fort Polly hugging Tho Riding mountains close on the West and another line from Selkirk connect ing with the Emerson and Polly Road at some Point in the Little Saskatchewan Val Ley. Your readers will see from this that the minister of the Interior regards a Road colonization or Pacific South of Lake Mani Toba As a certainty. Or. Mills scheme once accomplished 1 May add that it needs no Prophet to predict that the people of Winni Peg would see it to the interest of their City to build two lines one North West to about Westbourne and another South West in the direction of the Boyne settlement. I am in sympathy with those in the West of your province who Are agitating the Railroad ques Tion and being in Possession of the above facts 1 they were too Good lobe kept secret.

The Council then adjourned to moot again on the first monday of february at two o clock p.m., in Tho school House Kil Quiny a Tver inc hopi rfcs ail prospects. From inc abort or Star. To those acquainted with Tho Good Raplis Cal situation of this Parton Keewatin a few words on that head May not be considered out of place. Alberton fort is situated on Rainy River about Midway be tween Prince Arthur s Landing and Winni Peg. Two Miles East we have Rainy Lake whence Rainy hover has its five Miles Westward to have the Lake of the which Rainy Ivor empties it self. 1 his River without exception is not surpassed in the Dominion of Canada for its Beautiful Clear water abounds with All kinds of fish its re Nair depth and Widilia. Its average Width nearly a Quarter of a and the almost straight Courso which it takes being navigable throughout. It is almost needless to say that this River is the dividing Lino Between Tho United mates and Tho Dominion of Canada the entire water stretch the land on each Sulo is of Tho finest Quality and Well adapted for agricultural purposes. I to Limber is also Good and of various kinds Birch Oak pint , Cedar soft Maple Black and White a Poplar and some and Bass Wood. The lots immediately Ming on the River arc ten chains in Width and have a depth of two Miles each settler is allowed to Homestead one of Weso lots and pre empt Tho adjoining one if vacant also. About fifty entries have been taken Here during Tho past Bummer and consider Able improvements and Tiro now being in ado on these lots some very Fine crops were harvested by those who took the Trou ble to sow and Plant in this Section Hist season samples of which be seen at land office Here. To Tho industrious Man be he Fanner Mechanic or labourer with a Binnell capital Rainy River presents an open ing second to no other District in the do minion of where in a few years such Man May become Independent. It is very probable that Tho Dawson route will be put in running order during the coming summer and it is also probable that we May get a Brunch railway connect ing with the c. P. 11., by Sturgeon Fallt. Fifty Miles eastward from fort then have easy communication with the outside world. Besides this in a couple of years we shall have the c. P. Railway completed to rat Portage which will connect us with die whole civilized world. Those who in Tho meantime have been Wise enough to secure a Homestead and Preemption right on Rainy River or neigh bar Hood will then reap advantage of their Good judgment. It will to easily seen Tomt we shall then be in As Good and in Many respects better position than in other portions of the Dominion of Canada for we have All the natural advantages of a Good country Good land Good Timber and Good water while in other parts although having railway and other communications they Are destitute of these Iraq Octant items. From fort Frances to rat Portage about i to Miles we have an excellent Titor route via Rainy River and the Lake of the wools. There arc upon Therie Waters now one Large Side wheel Steamer lady of Tho and two lugs with an addition probably of another Largo tug next season. " j Hoso ves Sels will pass Down Tho whole length of Rainy River on to licit Way out and must con sequently touch upon Avery asian s Home Stead on the River thus him to take his produce to any Markot he pleases. In the meantime he Insy obtain a Good Price for anything lie a Iblis to dispose of at fort Francos or rat Portage. At Imio lorry Fajr place there Aro now about sixty houses and necessary conveniences four stores Post office Blacksmith shop and Church mid these have All Arisen within three years. To have Uso or. Fowler s Large saw Mill where you May get your lumber Plain or dressed doors sashes laths shingles Etc. Or. Fowler is further making arrangements for the importation of a grist Mill to run in connection with his saw Mill on the open ing of navigation. From the foregoing it in obvious that the town of Alberton fort is destined Ere Long to become a place of no mean . We May also take into consideration the fact that Trio land on the opposite of the River is quite As Good us our own and that the american government will doubtless soon place it in Tho Market. Our canal will shortly be completed and through its Gates the Large lumbering Trade soon to created in the neighbouring Sti Ilc Minnesota must pass. This will add much to the Trudo and Commerce of Rainy River. In i Onalu Siou we would advise Iho and in priding settler to come arid sex amino for himself before locating Olsen hero.
