Show A FLYING TRIP TO CANADA AND NOTES BY ahe WAY last night we left our readers at great falls montana and after a short sta stay y there our train rolled on and by daylight we had crossed the line between the unite states and an canada ada a tact fact that was made known to us by it A visit from a canadian revenue officer at first we thought he was a holdup as he ordered every passenger to unstrap and open up their hand grips and trunks we had two grips one held our selected assortment of paper colors made in germany al aud our favorite favo rate brandhof brand of irish linen neckties in the other grip wad waa the last remains of a custard pie which had turned upside down a number of times until no body couldwell could tell what it re hd been the officer pushed ms ins hand band through agh our wardrobe grip but when when he drew out his empty land hand we asked him what he had left there he smiled a very wide smile at this question but when we asked him to let us keep the remains of the pie as ii K was all we had to live upon while we remained in canada his whole face began to quiver with emotion and he turned it aside from our view as he seemed to be tears at our conditions coni I 1 dit ions but ive we noticed the other passengers sin jeri were rather in a merry mood over some motion he had bad made to them when ain his back wis turned to us we had now left the united states b behind us and was on foreign sod and bithe agthe rays of the rooming morning sun began to spread wider and farther we began to geth get a better view of the country we were passing through but after a few hours ride we found out the fact which many travelers had found out before us that they had gone far from home but had ad discovered no finer scenes than they can behold from their own door steps every hour of the day but there is nothing like traveling t ta polish over the rough settled ideas that a person will stick to as long as they will stay at home the thing that struck our attention most in passing through this part of the country were the graat grain elevators that were erected at every railroad station great iron buildings all built after the same fashion that held thousands of bushels of grain these elevators are the grain markets of the country here the farmers take the grain they wish to market and sells it to the elevator company receiving the cath cash when the grain is delivered A very continent con vinent way of disposing ol of that product of the farm early in the morning our train rolled into stirling a junction station on the great northern canadian line but here another misunderstanding jor as blunder held head us up at this station fox for fourteen hours although we were only six miles from raymond the proposed end of our journey by train here seventy five passengers men women and children were dumped down at the stirling station without one drop of water to wet their parched tongues during that windy august day one of the most unmerciful and cruel acts that any railroad company could be guilty of and in talking about the matter to one of the railroad hands or officials he had the to tell the writer that canada had no use for americans anyhow an expression 1 1 that hat almost prompted us to return on the ahe first train leaving for the united states without accomplishing the object which had brought us so fax far from utah to visit some dear sons and daughters and t heir families who had made their the homes ho mes in in canada for many years and where many grand children were now living that the writer had never seen tit but on second thought we concluded fy f y il to stay say t i in the country until we had visited vY sited ai all our oui canadian Citi adian reli relatives tives nd and in our next letter we will ti tell all you of the hearty welcome the writer rec received elved from fiora all of our 0 U r relatives there t he cereas reas as well as from many many other people we met while in this country of great tural p |
