WITH THE WORLDS WRITERS The old Romans need to say that Caal was divided Into three parts; so u the Canadian North West Gauls divisions were political; those of ths 'Western Canada prairies are created the representation! The First Division. Chiefly because of the elevation of the country, the absence of large Jakes and rivers, and the operations of the Chinook" or Pacific ocean winds, which readily cross the Rocky Alberta in Southern mountains through gaps and passes, the south western portion of the Canadian provinces is regarded ss somewhat arid, and less fertile than other portions of the country.
