Text description beneath the picture (subject to any spelling errors due to the OCR program used)

HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA; AND WINNIPEG.
Kipling's lines well describe Halifax the unconquered fortress keeping open the way of the Empire for the ships which arrive through the Newfoundland fogs.
Into the mist my guardian prows put forth,
Behind the mist my virgin ramparts lie.
The Warden of the Honour of the North,
Sleepless and veiled am I!"
Main Street, Winnipeg, is the principal avenue in the busy and rapidly growing capital of the Province of Manitoba. The centre of a great corn and lumber country, and an important station on the Canadian Pacific Railway, Winnipeg has increased with a rapidity rivalling that of some of the western cities of the United States.
