July 1, 1905 John Innis and J.P. McConnell, two well-known journalists from Toronto, are in the West. Mr. Innis is an old Calgary man, and an artist of considerable merit as well as a clever writer. He has portrayed the life of the West in many paintings and drawings. Among his best known works are two scenes entitled "On the Edge of the Herd" and "Sweet Grass." He was correspondent for the Toronto "Mail and Empire" in South Africa during the war and made many drawings, but of late has been doing portrait work. Messrs. Innis and McConnell are now free lances. They will journey to Kamloops, where they will outfit a pack train and go south into the Similkameen country, where they will spend a few weeks and then proceed north into the Cariboo district. |
