 ing for solution in both East and West 

 will be carefully considered. Assur- 

 ances have been received from the 

 Dominion and nearly all the Pro- 

 vinces that they will be officially re- 

 presented, and a number of the men 

 in the United States best qualified to 

 give assistance in regard to our con- 

 ditions have already signified their 

 attention of coming to Winnipeg. 



"While the exact details of the pro- 

 gram cannot be outlined for some 

 little time it is expected that the pro- 

 ceedings will be opened by His Honor 

 the Lieutenant Governor on Monday 

 evening, July 7, at an official recep-

 welcomed by the representatives of 

 the Government of Manitoba, City of
