Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - September 10, 1878, Winnipeg, Manitoba Septem Berlo. Amt com about the Northern limit of the growt of and in a few sentences or ceding this statement i am satisfied that car North near the Bocky Mour gains wheat and other grains can b and asks if both statement Are Correct How can he reconcile them of he cannot show that either is True of what purpose did he speak Captain French it seems spoke of that of which he evidently knows extremely Little. He labors to show tha the Swan River District is too far North and its Altitude too great to product wheat. But what Are the facts when is successfully cultivated at Cumber Lanc House in the Longitude of Swan River and two degrees farther North. Bishop Mclean who is now in England would be Able to say that there is no place in the North Avest equal to Prince Albert on the Saskatchewan for wheat growing and yet it is so Miles North of Swan River. The Kev. We. Mcdougall a opinion that Edmonton was the Gar Den of the West and yet it is 120 mile North of Swan River and at least 50y feet higher in Altitude. Protessor Macoun says he seen the wheat Fields ready for the sickle at Edmonton Anc knows that excellent wheat is raised along the Saskatchewan. At the Forks of the Clearwater and Athabasca Rivers Over Miles North of Swan River the Hudson s Bay company have a farm Anc purpose raising sufficient wheat at that Point to Supply the whole North Ontario nil Quebec life expected to in Besom a Winnipeg 7th september 187s. The above is a Sample of the political i despatches which the Hon. Alex. Morris promised to supporters. Like most other samples it was distributed Gratis and to publish it verbatim Al literati Lor just what is Worth. . To extra charge to our to Are at a i Oss to know How or. Morris friends will derive any Comfort from this manifesto a Liili actually records Victory for party before the it the nominations took place to Day Only. The facts conveyed in this exhilarating despatch arc we should think not Alto Gether encouraging. Sir John it says i a 1 in Groat Good adding so is which is a Little rough on that apostle of Temperance. But what is this Lilley is new Bruns ids sible he would never surely stir up in the province Over which lie lately presided As lieutenant governor. House j of 10 and 1 every thurs still 150 Miles farther North on the West of Lake Athabasca he had obtained wheat and Barley which took the Bronze medal at the Centennial exhibition at Philadelphia of the peace River he forbears to speak except to say that from Hudson s Hope where the River leaves the mountains to Lake Atha Basca a distance by River of too Miles the soil is astonishingly Fertile and the climate during summer Well suited to the growth of cereals. The wheat brought Home by him was gathered on August 20, the seed having been sown on May 8 preceding. On the peace River alone there Are More wheat lands than Are to be found in the whole of the United kingdom. We have not seen that any re ply by Captain French appeared to the above overwhelming facts and arguments and we take it that pro Fessor Macoun by Earnest and prac tical letter driven the Gallant officer from the Field. The lion of society i Victoria Australia at the present time is a midship Man in the mercantile Marine named. J Homas Pearce who is the hero of a romantic its attendant consequences is rarely met with outside he pages of a novel. This Gallant youth Laving escaped from the wreck of he Loch arc at the risk of own life swam out to sea again to save a miss Carmichael whom he brought safely to land. At a meeting of the victorian humane society at Melbourne it been decided to pre sent him with the first Gold medal awarded by that association then a shilling subscription been set on foot for him the proceeds of which it is proposed to expend in building a ship to be called the Eva Carmichael inboard which he May serve the remainder of afterwards on attaining certificate be commander and owner. Next. Or. Chief Secretary Burke intends offering him a position in the victorian Navy. The health of miss Carmichael improves daily but her nervous system received such a Shock from the danger she encountered that she appears scarcely Able yet to realize her desolate position i due time we May Hope that the epic May be completed by the addition of the last link appropriate to so romantic a Chain of circumstances. When or. Morris next presents him self at a Public meeting of the electors he should be pointedly asked to define the National policy to which party is absolutely committed and requested exactly How the proposed in crease of taxation is calculated to Benefit Manitoba. Two or three questions carefully prepared beforehand and respectfully presented to the opposition candidate would doubtless elicit views on the subject. As a matter of Courtesy it would be As Well if such questions simple and to the Point were forwarded to or. Morris a Day or two previous in order that he might b taken at no disadvantage but be Abl to expound in Plain terms a Subjec which immense interest for. Manito bans. The subject of a protective policy which inevitably involves an increase o taxation on Many of the necessaries o the necessaries of believe there is no intention to raise the Thrift As re Gards More important than even the railway question. All we ask of or. Morris is a Plain answer to a Plain question whenever this matter come up. Corner opposite Post office Loneer livery.
