Remark:
A letter from Portage La Prairie says: "Our little town, which was dead a month ago, is alive again, and the railroad which was to pass eight miles west is now coming to the Portage. Sir Charles Tupper came like a Good Samaritan to this place when it was giving its last kick, and we gave him a grand banquet. Lots that were selling at $40 have gone up to $150. The round house is to be built here, and it is believed this place will go ahead of Winnipeg."
