En Route Home, Friday March 18 A bright sunny morning, but cold. My world is a plain all erred duffy with snow of last weeks storm, beacon in Saskatchewan and at morning in Manitoba where there is no snow. Manitoba is Canada's great wheat field. The Country is full of "glays" that is one mile sink. holes, a Karsted country, farm houses and villages are now more common and larger. Also appearing are sand dunes and affording prominence. The C.P.R. came through this world for the first time in 1887 = 40 years ago (band comm 1) [illegible] spoke from here to the Rev. Norway of Methodist Church who started as a missionary in this country just as the C.P.R. own building. And he is friend again of the church for driving to Dan- crown. All day I see clutters of little hard wood trees up to 15' tall. Very rare or I am a low conifer & trees. Of and on there are snow flurries of exceedingly small flakes, due show that trail out.
