 work in it for which thi workmen had to be 
 brought fram acroea the Atlantic, not being 
 prooorabl* in America. The atruotiire seemi 
 to have been bnllt regardleae of what It wonld 
 coet. There are two traasooutinental poiaen- 
 ger trains In each direction per day, Iwth being 
 vestibuled. The passenger tralBo is enoi'mous, 
 as evldsoced by seeing one of those long, dark 
 trains of generally 10 to U coaches pul ing into 
 the Union station at 8t, Pau<. a train which 
 has come all the way from the Paciflc coast. 
 There era foor passenger trains per Amy as far 
 wcHtasFargo.aiid three as far as Jamestown. 
 The celebrated Yellowstone National Park is 
 more oonTenlantlr reached by this line than 
 uuj other, and thousands of American toorttta 
 annually visit It. The Pullman cars on trana- 
 oontlncnta) trtlna are marvels of comfort, 
 lielng amot.g tlis ilneit ever turned out by the 
 Pullman Compuiy. One feature of thia rood 
 which la very rare ii that when a dining oar is 
 placeiUn a train at Chicago It is never taken 
 out until the train reachea Portland, Oregon, ao 
 that la eaie any delay occurred thera would

 year, but when the railagot as tar as hcoding-

 which resulted In a long and aerioua wrangle 
 with the Dominion Gorernment. The oraaatng 
 was finally grnntad, but It delayed ths oomple-

 Grand Trunk railway running eastward (Tom

 with all connecting linee. In summer time 
 thay have as goad connections at Duluth as 
 other routes. They ara la the fleld (or baaine e 
 of all kinds to and from the markets of the 
 Rest, and ara piuhlng a most active opposition 
 to their great Canadian rival. The building of 
 tlie Morris-Brandon branch and the Portage la 
 Prairie branch gave the residents of those 
 places a shorter route to all southern points, as 
 well as an opportunity of reaohlng them In 2i 
 hou s lees time, tht company has spent many 
 hundred tUouaaod dallara In Winnipeg since Its 
 entrance, having spent extensive roond houses, 
 npalrali>ps,etx, together with a magnlflcont 
 sevon-story hotel, olHoe and depot bulldlng,and 
 the only oevered train shed In Conuda west of 
 Toronto, They have spared nothing to make 
 their (aollltiee all that could be desired, and 
 tbey certainly deeorve the liberal pttroaage of 
 the people of Manitoba. 
 
 Ths company Is to be oongratulate<l In secur- 
 ing such an excellent terminal In Wlntlpeg, 
 being in the very centra of tlie city, and con- 
 venient to all the hotels, bmlne h houses, etc. 
 While the focilitlee at other points sra not so 
 eUborate as at Wionlpig, all other points In

 Ooe of her greatest advaatagei I* the 
 
 [ magniBcant water power at her command 
 
 [ TbU ha* yet to be developed and loon will 
 
 I be, itepa having already been taken In that 
 
 [ direction by tbe oity counell. The city en- 
 
 I ginetr t* beet able to outline the wator 
 
 L power tcheme. He eay s In a recent report : 
 
 [ It le now very generally knoan that the 
 
 [olty of Winnipeg poueist* in th* Atilnl- 
 
 I boine river a eoorce of power whlob inr- 
 
 pan** most of the great water powere in 
 
 uie on tbi* continent. 1'ae river alone 
 
 if raioa an area of 60,000 i quare milei. Ite 
 
 flrad diecharge I* eetimated at 40,000 onblo 
 
 leet per lecnnd, and tbe loweet known die- 
 
 charge at 700 cubic feet per second, tha 
 
 average low watt r discbarge being about 
 
 doable the last mentioned amount. Per- 
 
 hsps one of the f^reatest pointa oi intereet, 
 
 and certainly ene of the greatest 
 
 advanlagee of th* Assiniboln* rlv*r 
 
 ss a water power etream, i*, 
 
 that Its ospaoity can be Increased to 10 OCO 
 
 horie power at lowest water by oonvectlog 
 
 it with Like Manitoba and the 8a»katcha- 
 
 wan river, thus Inrreaalog the drainage area 
 
 tributary to Winnipeg to 250 000 iquare 
 
 miles, a territory double tbe size of Ureat 
 
 Britain and Ireland. 
 
 The oost of tbe proposed waterpower 
 woi ks at Winnipeg woald be for the Asslni- 
 bnlne power alone, including looks, t^OO, 
 OUO, and with tbe connection* butween the 
 rtver and Lake Manitoba about $1,200,000. 
 The amount of power made available at 
 Wionlprg would be, lor the completed 
 scheme, 10 000 horse power at low water, 
 tbe net revenue from which at S20 per horse 
 power per annum would Im |200,000. In- 
 toiaat Md fMbtaaaaoa would not aioead 8 
 
 per osnt or $90,000 wbita tha oost ot th* 
 same amount of pow> r by ataam on tha meat 
 fevorabia basia would b* $30 per hon* 
 power, or $700,000. A* it p«ya to grind 
 whaat at $00 per yaar tor power, tha adop- 
 tion of water power at ooa-sizth tb* ocst 
 would ravolntionii t th* trad* of tb* ooun- 
 try, and instead o* baing, as lar a' tb* grain 
 trad* of tb* country I* otnoerned, • meie 
 wty station, Winnipeg would become a ool- 
 leoting and dUtilbutlng point of importance. 
 An idea ot tha vast importanoa ot tha mill- 
 ing and trans shipping buslnea* may be ob- 
 Ulned from tbe tact, that if 5.0C0 horse 
 power was used for milling, the number of 
 railway oat* r qvlrad per day to bring in 
 wheat aod take out the prodncti would be 
 1,000, or 60 traina rf 20 oara aaob." 
 
 In addition to flour milling, many other 
 iodaslrles would spring up immediately 
 that cheap power wa* to b* bad. Among 
 othar* may b* m*ntlon*d building papar, 
 wood pulo manufaciara*, leather, woollen 
 fabric*, agricultural and milling maohinary. 
 
 la shut, thare I* no western oity with 
 graatar msanfaoturiog possiblHtloa . than 
 Wlnalpeg. She contain* everything that la 
 necessary to make her a great bee hive of 
 industry. 
 
 Col. Fanning, of Minneapolis, a well- 
 known engineer, declared that tha develop- 
 ment of WInnlpeg'a water power oonid not 
 fail to make it a great manufaotarlng oen- 
 tre. 
 
 Among the snooessfol manutaotnrbg an- 
 dertaklnia hereto-day are aoap factories, 
 cigar faotorlea, oatmeal mills, woollen mills, 
 br*w*rlee, furniture faotorle*, t«nt and 
 awning fautorlee, loda watar woikv, brick 
 and tile maonfsotoriee, boiler and maohina

 ADVANTAOrs WlNNIPEd OFFIB.x. 
 
 'I' or arguments prsscntsd elsewhere which 
 go to prove tbe certainty of Winnipeg'* 
 futai* development and Importance, are 
 sulBdient to coDviuoe the msDafaoturer that 
 tMf Is a most favorable site for tiie location 
 of any industry, the product of which is to 
 seek isle emoi^, and patronage from, the 
 people of Munitoba aod the country west 
 and northwest to the Pasifli coast. Tho 
 mtoufaolnrer who looates In Winnipeg 
 should bear in mind that ha is not depen- 
 dant upon present trade conditions, favor- 
 able ae they are, but is merely startleg a 
 plant that oannot bat expand year by year 
 ae the country tributary grow* in wealth, 
 population and necessities. 
 
 Winnipeg Is now safe In the power of Its 
 industrial population, and a oity rnlad by 
 this class oannot but oBer sate and profit- 
 able Inveatment for the funds of capitalists. 
 Among the openlDgs here may be mentioned 
 the following : Winnipeg is in a locality 
 particularly favorable to the growth ot 
 eweet corn, tomatoes, ato., and an industry 
 for the manufaoture of canned goods would 
 oertalnly be sucoessful. A starch factory 
 conld scarcely fail to be a profitable under- 
 taking, as Manitoba Is noted for the excel- 
 lence of its potatoes, and the farmers 
 fr qaently do not know what to do 
 witA their prodigious crops, picklns 
 out the larger onee for market and 
 for winter supply and letting the others rot. 
 8ugar Is another Industry which will be 
 etarlad here and will pay. Oae beet sugar 
 manufactory ha* already been aatabli*b*d 
 In tha waat. Th* loU h*r* la partioatarly 
 
 adapted for baet raising, aa tha rooto hay* 
 tha beet nonriahmant that ean bs tonad any- 
 whara tram this rioh aoli, yielding ovar 300 
 baahala to tba aor*. Ainady flue-growing 
 baa received oonsidarabia attention ban, tba 
 aoli and olimata being partloalarly fayorabl* 
 ta Ita growth and harvast. Heretofara thi* 
 product baa been need only In tha mannfao- 
 tura ot Unseed oil, meal and oil oakea. In 
 tha manufao'nre ot binding twin* alona 
 there should be a iplaadid fleld for inveat- 
 ment and for tbe further ntlllxing ot flu. 
 Manitoba la now tha chief souroo wbano* 
 oomea the demand for Undlag twina in 
 Canada, and tba demand la oonatantly 
 growing with *v*ry additional aor* of land 
 brought under oultlvatlon. 
 
 It would require but small capital to start 
 a matoh manufactory bare, and it wonld 
 have tbe unoooupied field of Manitoba and 
 tbe Northweit. In a word there ia room in 
 Winnipeg for almoet every kind ot mann* 
 faoturlng Industry. 
 
 PBODCOE BDSnilSS, 
 
 While on tha anbjeot of WInnlpeg'a 
 trade, the rapid growth of tbe pro- 
 duce and commmlon buainaea must 
 be mentioned. A few yeara ago 
 tbi* class of eommoditlaa waa baadlad 
 principally by wbolaeala grocera. Tboaa 
 were tha daya when batter, oheaaa, ato., 
 bad to be largely Imported to supply tba 
 local demand. Now tbeea product* are 
 greatly in cxoeia of local requiramenta, and 
 there Is qaita a large surplus for export. 
 Tois surplus will oontinn* to increase nntU 
 a great wholesale produce oentre baa been 
 boilt up here. The far trade la another im- 
 portant item In the trade of tha city. In 
 thla line Whinlpeg b conceded to ba tba

 Another branch ot trade which is aasum- 
 Ing great Importatos Is that of pork- 
 paoklng. Seversl houses are engaged in 
 this business and the iiidustry I* rapidly 
 growing. The advantage! are many. Th* 
 supply of meata for packing pnrpoaea ia be- 
 coming large. Manitoba last fall exported 
 trainload after tralnload of cattle eaetward, 
 and many tralnloada passed through her* 
 from the Northwest. Winnipeg, so far aa 
 location Is concerned, occupies the eama po- 
 sition with reference to the Alberta oattl* 
 trade that Kansas City does to the exporta- 
 tion ol Texaa beeves, and St. Paul to tha 
 shipmsnt of Montana cattle. The vaat 
 ranges of Alberta and Montana are rapidly

 FIGUR£S AND FACTS ! 
 
 POINT OUT THE PROORESS OK THE 
 
 PEERLESS PRINCESS OF THE 
 
 PRAIRIES. 
 
 Winnipeg's ever-increasing popu- 
 lation DEMONSTRATES HER 
 MATERIAL PROSPERITY. 
 
 PROPERTY ASSESSMENT, VALUES OK 
 REALTY AND OTHER CONVINC- 
 ING STA'IISTICS. 
 
 The hiilory of Winnipeg is told with ad- 
 mirable diroctneu and clearness by the 
 array of facts in this number. Proud of her 
 matchless record, and conscious of her grsat- 
 nesa and still greater future, Winnipeg de- 
 sires that the truth only shall be told of 
 her. Figures collected with scrupulous care 
 and presented conscientiously speak with 
 irrefutable logic and convincing eloquence. 
 
 The material progress of the city is per- 
 haps best demoustrated by its ever increas- 
 ing population. lu 1870 the population, 
 exclusive of the military was only 215. In 
 1871, 500 ware added and 700 more in the 
 following year. In 1874 it was estimated 
 at about 2,000. In 1875 it had increased to 
 5,000 (.3,ail being the number ansesaed) 
 and tliere being an estimated floating popu- 
 lation of 2,000. In 1876 the figures showed 
 the population to be 5,522 ; in 1877, to over 
 B,(K)0 ; from '78 to '80 there wan a steady 
 influx of |)eople nod in '8l-'82, the years of 
 Winnipeg's "big boom," her actual popula- 
 tion doubled, but lier Hosting population 
 was enormous, The following table shows 
 the increase since 1886 : —

 The city's populalion is cosmopolitan, and 
 includes nearly every nationality under the 
 sun, from the Highest type of European and 
 
 American oivilicition to the Pagiko lodhui 
 and heathen Chinese. The citizens of Win- 
 nipeg are people of determination, of perse- 
 veraoce, of iuteI!igonce and of public iipirit.

 Those who make Winniiieg their hoiin

 forego any of the comforts or luxuries to 
 which they have been accustomed in tin

 • Take aa an illuatration of their power* of 
 fertility the aimple fact that on the Kil- 
 donan farm, near Winnipeg, on which land 
 I *aw their 50th crop of wheat growing — 
 crope which had followed each other year 
 after year, and had maintained their full 
 
 Jdeld from firet to latt, without tne *cil 
 oeing any of it* productive power. Year 
 by year had the winter froat* renovated 
 that aoil with freah atoiei of fertility from 
 it* rich preserve*, and thu* the laud be- 
 came better prepared than ever for it* 
 work." 
 
 Thi* den<on*trate* that Manitoba is the 
 garden of America and a country with the 
 Northweat Terntoric* added, capable of 
 maintaining a popuUtion of million*. Ten 
 yeai* ago Mani'.oba had practically no 
 grain atoiage capacity. The etoraje capa- 
 city of the country i* now placed at equal 
 to 8,000,000 bufhel*. Thi* shows tlio won- 
 derful progress our province has niade. lu 
 the matter of wheat great progress can be 
 shown. Ten years ago our export* of 
 whest were lees than 200,000 bushels. 
 Shipment* from the crop this year will 
 amount to lOU or 150 time* a* much as waa 
 shipped out of the province in 1880. Be- 
 cause the surplus wheat crop of Manitoba 
 was very small ten ye\rs ago, the enorm- 
 ous rate of increase is not so apparent. The 
 enormity of the increase can l>est be shown 
 by stalling what the wlie%t surplus would 
 be if the same rate of iocieaae were kept 
 up for the next ten year*. At the end of 
 the preaent decadr, aliould the wheat crop 
 Hhow a* great an increaae as it doe* now, 
 compared with ten year* ago, ManitolM 
 would have the enormoui eurplu* of one 
 billion to one and a quarter billion buihel*. 
 This would lie three times greater than the 
 total wheat crop of the United Stat3s for 
 181)0, nr e(|ual to one half the entire wheat 
 crop of the worhl for last year. Of course 
 these flgnres arc only given to show the 
 astonishing increase of our crop during the 
 Isst ten yeai-a. But say, we make one- 
 tenth of tni> percentage nf increase in the 
 next ten yeara, that we have in the past 
 decaile, tnen the Kgures will still be enorm- 
 ous. At the latter rate of incrcaae we 
 would have 100.000,000 to 140,000,000 
 bushels surplus In the year lltOO or well up 
 to the total spriug wheat crop of the Unit- 
 ed Htatea 
 
 There are certainly great pniapects ahead 
 for this prairie country asa wheat exporting 
 rexioi even at a moderate increase in the 
 crop as compared wi'h the past, Manitol<a 
 will become in a few ycnm the principal 
 wheat region of the continent. And this i i 
 noi tukinii into account the quality of the 
 wheat. Miu'iusota and Dakota wlirat ia 
 atreaily deteriorstliig in (|Uality mid the 
 supply of hard wheat will »oon have to be 
 sought north of llie forty ninth parallui.

 The lands iminedlateiy miiMiumliug 
 Winnipeg aic of the very beat quality. 
 liii|iiirios made by a committee of the 
 WinnlpeK Hoard of Trade Kml a cotiitiiiltri' 
 of the city council recently lirouglit out the 
 fact, that within '.*• miles of th« city nearly 
 1,1X10,000 aires nf the niiiiit fertile land *n 
 the world .an lie had by naltlrrs at nn 
 
 precedently low figures. At least a quarter 
 of million of acre* of the low-lying and 
 moist portion of these lands ran be bought 
 for $3 an acre or less. Auother quartet of 
 a million of better quality, oo.nprieing

 bought for $7 au acre and another quarter 
 of a million of the very best hinds, where 
 settlers can commence breaking tod at once

 There ate now opportunities of securinK 
 valuable farm land* around Winnipeg luch 
 a* will never occur again in the history of 
 the Province. 
 
 The acreage throughout the province this

 acreage it ehowu to be l,.1a0,'201 acrea.being 
 an increase of 267,407 over that of 1890. Of 
 thi* increased area 170,707 acres are devoted

 Manltolia ha* the finest climate in the 
 world for the building up of a race of sturdy 
 men and women. In warm climate* people 
 purinh from indolence, but here wu have the 
 cliiiistc fur enirgy. Manitoba's enemies 
 liavc never ceased to pui)lish the gro«te*t 
 misstatements regarding our climate. Tiiay 
 have invented, with .narvellou* ingenuity 
 exaggerated pictures of bliz/.ards, snow and 
 ice, coni|iareil with which the records of 81- 
 lierian or Arctic evplorations appear almost 
 in the light of tropical adventu'-e. Some 
 time ago the guveruinent asked for the teeti- 
 .nouy of settlers in all parts of thi country 
 leganliug thu severity of the climate and 
 and Bsked them to atute if they sulTored auy 
 loKn ill winter from cold weather. In every 
 instance tliu answer was "climate healthy" 
 or "very healthy" and no loss or hardship. 
 Thu climate of this uouutry only requires 
 that the truth slmnld Im told about it. I'm 
 fuiaor Kreain, ol KnjjIand, ia speaking on 
 this suliject iiuid : "The I'roat whic' incks 
 up the lu.id for several months in m i;ter is 
 really a setviceahle friend to the Manitoba 
 fanner. The moisture which permeates the 
 aoil expands in the act of freesing, and this 
 causes a iniuut* separatiou ut disiuptlua

 among the particles of ploughed earth, no 
 th»t when the thaw comes they fall apart in 
 a desirable state of tilth which it is well 
 niRh impo«sible to hring about by the work 
 of any agricultural implement. Frost is r. 
 good thing to the farmer ami one tliiit works 
 without pay. At home in Kngland, winter 
 without frost is regarded by farmers of 
 arable land as a ndsfortunp." 
 
 The chief merit of Manitola'a atmosphere 
 is its dryness, which precludes the pesti- 
 lential "muggy" heat of more soutlmn lati- 
 tudes, or the chilling r'jld of the lake or 
 ocean "-egions. This t.iodom from moisture 
 does not come from rarity of the atmos- 
 phere, so fatal to persoi.s who have a tcad- 
 oncy to hoart disease, but is ilue to the pro- 
 vailing winds, which coming from the west, 
 do not have opportunity to j^atherclu.upncs 
 from j-Kissage over a large boily of water. 
 The ri'SuU ;s that the actual mercurial tem- 
 perature of cither summet or winter does 
 not convey to the eastern or southern resi 
 dent anything like o correct idea of tlie 
 effect of that temperature u,)on humanity, 
 animal or even vegetable life, i'or instance 
 a temperature of !IS in midsummer is 
 not so oppressive i'l Winiiiiicg as !tl) 
 In ^fcw York as a point on tlic A'lantic. 
 Onthe other hand a temperaturi' of '10 de- 
 grees below zero in \Viuni|)eg, in winter 
 would not inconvenience a person so much 
 as zero would in the Kiistcrn provinces . 
 that is, if it were possible to snbjeil a per 
 son to a temperature of zern in Quebec, for 
 iastAUCC, and iit the next moment subject 
 him to a test of '20 below zero in Winnipeg, 
 the individual so testeil, would uniloi:lit< 
 ediy say that he felt lesH discomforture 
 in the Winnipeg temperature. Cold 
 weather we have, it is true, Iml it do< s 
 not count against pleasuiable existence, 
 in fact favors it »s compan-d with the 
 changeable temperature ard degrees of

 Stobart, Bona St Oo. 
 
 Thia house does the largest wholesale dry 
 gooda bualness in the Northwest. It was found 
 od by Mr. T. KKew al >ut 1866 as a commia ion 
 house, with branches all over the Northwest. 
 In IHTl the Arm became known as Kew. Stobart 
 ft Co., and in 1877 Mr. Kewretlred.and the Arm 
 name changed to Stob J't, Eden ft Co. In l»s) 
 the name was again -hanged to ^Stobart, Sons 
 ft Cu , the business being since then under the 
 management of Mr. Fred W. Btobart. For 
 merly the Arm carried on a retail bnaineaa in 
 addition to the wbnleaale trade, but a number 
 of yean ago they disposed of that branch of the 
 business. In l8Mi, in order to aooommodate 
 their business, which had grown to large pro- 
 portions, the firm erected the magnlAcent brick 
 and stone building which they now occupy. 
 The block Is I'JOxlOOfeot In dimonsion.witb four 
 Aats and a large basement, forming one of the 
 meet extensive liusinets blocks in the city. 
 They carry at all limes a mos extensive and 
 cooiplete stock of dry goods, in fact the largest 
 of any Arm in the Northwest. A large force of 
 men is employed in their warehonse and tra- 
 vellers are kept e .istanily on the road 
 letween I'ort Arthur and British Columbia. In 
 addition to the business hero the Arm has 
 branches St Prince Albert and other points and 
 fur trailing ports throughout the nortbrin 
 country. The mr iiibersof the tlrm aro Mr.Wni 
 Btobart, who tciides in Kngland. and Mr. Fred 
 \Y. Stobart, who resides in Winnipeg, and por- 
 Buaally superintends til -> large business. He is 
 ini'Very sense a public-spirited ritlicen and 
 and takes a deep interest in the city's perman

 Thi< bualness was ostabllahed in Hamilton 
 Ontario, 211 years ago. by W. K. Hanford. now 
 Senaor Sanford. anil Mr. Alexander Mclnnis. 
 The complexion of the Arm has, during tho 
 period that has elapsed since its foundatlOD, 
 changed considerably, but Senator Sanford has 
 alwiiya been the leading spirit of the businoM. 
 and lo him is due Ihe credit Of bnlldingop one 
 of the most succeasful manufacturing concerns 
 In tho Dominion, thereby providing work for h 
 very Urge number of hands and sniassinga 
 Urge fori une for hiiiiat'lf. 
 
 The Winnipeg business is onl> a branrli 
 house, but from an engraving of the building, 
 which we furnish on another page, it will he 
 seen that it assumes large proportions, the en 
 t ire trade of tho house from Port Arthur aiihc 
 head of Lake Superior, to Donald, in the ll»ok.\ 
 Muuniaina, being directed from here. This 
 buililing waa erected just a year ago. and cun 
 lalns nothing bui the products of the oompany s

 rca'ly made clolhing, such as overcoats, suii-.

 city in thia line whore tho entire stock is the 
 prciiuct of one factory.

 'I'hls Arm was established at London, Ontario, 
 in 187.'). Inl87S they were oontraotors for the 
 waterworks for the city of London, Out, and 
 have built several systems of waterworks since 
 that time. They are now more particularly en- 
 gaged in the manufacture of waterworks, con- 
 tractors' supplies, portabloand traction engines, 
 threshing niachinory, as well as stationary en- 
 gines and boilem, engineers' and plumbers' 
 brass goods, steumHiters' supplies, hay presses, 
 saw mill muchlnery, etc. In fact the flrin la 
 one of the largest, and its factory one of the 
 most complete in Canada. They possess every 
 fttoility for the successful oparation of their 
 biisinoKS, and many in this province who have 
 iited their goods attest their durability and 
 comiilutvncssof tlnisb. 
 
 They established a warehouse la Winnipeg in 
 1S$> and supplied tho trade of anitoba with 
 thrashing engines and separatois a year of two 
 previous to that time tlirough Messrs. Wes- 
 brook ft Fairehild. Since the date of the es-

 continued to supply customers in the province 
 with such goods as thoy manufacture and ro-

 This Arm was established in Winnipeg in the 
 year 1882 for the manufacture and sale of all 
 kinds of mineral and (orated waters, fruit 
 syrups, etc., Iiaving been previously inbnsiness 
 In Montreal. The partners are Mr. Wm.Blaok- 
 woou, who superintends the working of the 
 dStabllshment in Wiknlpeg, and Mr. A. T. B. 
 Blackwood, who travels for the company and 
 attends to the business outside the city. They 
 have agencies ottablished at various points in 
 the Northwest Territories and British Colum- 
 bia, and do a very oxtenHjvc business in their 
 various thirst quenching munufaotures in 
 these parts as woU as in Manitoba. They em- 
 ploy on un average same forty hands and the 
 capacity of their soda water machinery is over 
 IJOO doxen bottles per working day of ten 
 hours,whiln during the summer months the 
 factory has frequently to ran day and night 
 Their main building, which we illustrate, is 
 solidly constructed of brick, and the Aooring, 
 including cellars and bottle sheds, extends to 
 nearly ll),Ui)0 square feet, exclusive of their ex- 
 tensive stabling barns and cooperage. There 
 Is in actual tisi' In the buslaesa something over 
 (30.0011) thirty thousand donsn bottles of all sorts, 
 and with lUI these, the demand for their pro- 
 ductions is so great that their resouives are 
 frequently taxed to tho uttermost to make the 
 suppi.v keep pace witli it. 
 
 Messrs. Blackwood wore awarded medals 
 for their manufactures at the Cen(«nnlal Exhi- 
 bition in I'hilsdelphia In IH76, and at Paris In 
 1878; and also have received diplo- 
 mas at ths provincial exhiblllon'k In 
 Quebec in 1877, and Manitoba in 
 1886. Their machinery is all of the latest im- 
 proved lattem and from the best makers, and 
 all their goods they guarantee to be piue, 
 wholeaoine, free from motallie or other contam- 
 ination and of the very best quality. They are 
 fortunate In possessing a well which furnishes 
 a copious supply of water of a mo t superior

 self with Mr. W. J, Hacaulay in the lumber 
 buslnois. Previous to his arrival In the North- 
 west he wai connected with the Qeorgian Bay 
 Lumber Co. at Orillia and Waubashene. In 
 1812 he eat >b1ished his preeent lumber business, 
 and it has since steadily grown to Its now large 
 proportions. The saw and plai ing mills con-

 preparation for the market. In fact the mills 
 posses i every facility for the suocetsf id opera- 
 tion of the business, the plant altogether being

 In all Ceparlments. The mill lias one olroular

 COMI'ARISON OK VALUES — PROPERTY 
 CHEAPER IN WINNIPEG 
 
 THAN IN ANY OTHER CITY IN THE 
 COUNTRY. 
 
 This short article to designed to ihow that 
 Winnipeg property to the cheapest in. 
 America. It haa been clearly ahown that 
 Winnipeg is soon to become a great manu- 
 facturing centre, owing to the great water 
 power available, the cheap fuel obtainable 
 and the vast market possible. A glance at 
 any map shows it to be the centre of the 
 continent, while already it is a phenominal 
 railway centre. It to the distributing point 
 and the head centre in every important 
 sense of nearly two thousand million acre* 
 of rich territory. Tbe opinion* of promin- 
 ent, capable and disinterested outsiders are 
 ({uoted by the score in which Winnipeg's 
 position, advantage* and prospect* are ex- 
 tolled. Its youth, vigor and past substan- 
 tial and symmetrical growth have classed it 
 among the wonden of the wert and are the 
 beat guarantee for it* future. 
 
 On carefully examining into present real 
 estate values in this city we find that in 
 comparison with smaller oitiea, they are 
 from 50 to 80% less. For instance we may 
 name a few citiea about the same size a* 
 Winnipeg and compare value*. Take Dal- 
 uth, Butte, (lalveston, Spokane Kalto, Vic- 
 toria, Dallas and such places that are nearly 
 all conciderably smaller than Winnipeg, 
 and all with much inferior bao'ting in these, 
 yet we And liest retail business property sel- 
 ling as high as $1,500.00 per foot while in 
 in Winnipeg it can he bought at lass than 
 half that price. Take best wholesale busi- 
 ness property. In the other cities named 
 it selb freely at from 9000.00 to $800,00 per 
 foot, in Winnipeg, which is a much greater 
 eentre and dtotributiog point than any of 
 them, and the same property is purchase- 
 able at from 970.00 to 9125.00 per foot, or 
 nearly 90 less. The sain' tremendous dif- 
 ference exists in chciue reaidence property. 
 In other cities named it '..ells at from 9I<'>0.00 
 to 9200.00 per foot., iu Winnipeg at frxn 
 $i0.m to f'JO.OO pre foot. 
 
 Cheap and oidiuary residence property in 
 other similar citiea ;*ells at prices ranging 
 all the way from 926,00 to 912.'i.00 per foot,

 in Winnipeg the same rroperty is now ob 
 tainable at about one tenth tlioae figiirea or 
 aay from $8.00 to flO.OO per foot. Now 
 take adjoining acre property. In th'j other 
 .lamed oitiet the prices are from $:)00.00 to 
 to «.),000.00 per acre. In Winnipeg, $30.00 
 to (300.00 per acre. 
 
 Finally let us nainu a few ridua that liave 
 a population of from four to twelve thousand 
 people — all less than lialf the siite of Winni- 
 peg; such as Kairhaven, (ireat Falls, Helena, 
 Vancouver, West Superior and such places, 
 lu the.se we find the prices are invariably, 
 and in all classes of property from three to 
 six times as high as in Winnipeg. 
 
 Need anything more l>e said ? Let the 
 facts speak. This showing will surprise 
 the thousands of readers of this article and 
 all will agree that truly iu Winnipeg is the 
 cheapest property in America.

 aiiccets in handling property for clients has es- 
 tablished them In an enviab'o position amongst 
 Winnipeg's most subatantlal and progrecsive 
 citizens. 
 
 Mr. C. M, Qordon, before openiDK a business 
 In WinnlpeK, conducted a mot successful real 
 estate business in Toronto ' a number of 
 yosrs. After, however, having carefully and 
 personally examined into the advantages, re- 
 sources and prospect) of most of the rising 
 cities in the west and on the Pacific coast, he 
 decided to malce Winnipeg his future heme. 
 Not the least attraction for him was Manitoba's 
 delightful and unciinalled climate. This, and 
 the fact thatwliile WlnnipcK has the largest 
 and best barking of all the olties on the con- 
 tinent, its really is the i' ..pest. Induced him 
 not only l o Invest largely in prnperty.but also to 
 bring liiH family to the "Heart city of America."

 business with one of Toronto's leading whole- 
 sale hardware lioiises, where he apnnt eixht 
 years. While still engaged in commercial pur- 
 suits inveatments in Toronto property made 
 uinney for him rapidly, and evrntnally the 
 charms of real estate won biiii from mercantile 
 life, and now his whole attention is given to 
 real estate, on which he Is an authority, 
 
 Mr. Waller Suckling, the other member of 
 Ih s firni, has been for eight yea s engaged ia 
 and thoroughly familiar with llie real estate 
 basinesH of tlio city, having given special 
 attention to the management of estates. He 
 was born in Ilirmingham, Kngland, and while 
 yet a ililld his parents removed to Slie lircoke, 
 Quebec, and thenee with thorn he came to this 
 city in the early days.

 ment in TiiK WiNMi'Eti Tribi;nk. 
 It reaches tlie homes of the great 
 masses of the well-to-do people, Cocsider-

 circulation and the prices charged, 
 TiiK Tkibunk gives the liCBt value 
 that advertisers can obtain in the

 HUNK has the largest bona fide ad- 
 vertibiog patronage of any news- 
 paper in Manitoba and almost 
 twice na many home advertise- 
 ments as any rival. It makes a 
 i>|>ecialty of designing and writing 
 udvertisenients for any of its ad- 
 vertisera who desire it. It is one 
 thing to have an advertisement in 
 a paper ; it is another thing tn 
 have it well written, tastefully 
 deiiigned and attractively display- 
 ed. All shrewd adveitisrrs have 
 already noted the lact that TliK

 up and displayed to the bent advantage,
