A foretaste of the severe cold recently recorded in Canada was experienced iby an Australian 'visiting Winnipeg. Writing to . a Sydney friend, under date November 16, he says :—The temperature here to-day is 14 below zero, and it does go as low as 48 below zero, in the winter proper. Fancy Australians living here! Yet, notwithstanding all these weather conditions, people from the Old Country flow in here by the thousands. So much for the Canadian Pacific Railway Company and the Canadian Government advertising. Australia should wake up and endeavour to get part of this human stream to flow there. Of course, the labouring class are leaving here now by the thousands, going to warmer _ parts cast, I believe, .and it is estimated that there is 27 per cent, of the wheat crop not harvested yet, on account of so much rain and the early winter. Last Sunday, when.l was in Chicago, about 900 miles from here, there was a blizzard, which caused several deaths, and two people were frozen to death in the streets by falling down and being unable to get up. If you were to see the fni - coats which are used here you would ask yourself what wild animal they came off. All the hotels T have been in arc steam-heated, the same with trams and train. It is cpiite a picture to look at the trains as they come into a station after passing through hundreds of miles of snow.
