Three years ago the writer read an
article about the Canadian Pacific rail
way with u smile of incredulity. 1t
sounded odd in his ears then, but in
view of the present facts, and Of tho
spectacle of cities springingup as il by
magic, where but yesterday "A wilder
ness was, he finds that it reads like
prophecy now. One sentence of that
article may pardonably he quoted
here TO point a moral and adorn this
tale. 1t is as follows: with Just pride
in her work, the greatest, perhaps,
that has eve been accomplished by
human hands, Canada presents this
property to the empire as her contribu-
ton to her power and unity-a new
highway to Britain's possessions in the
east, guarded throughout by loyal
hearts. But she will not rest with this.
Her new iron girdle has given a mag.
netic impulse to her fields, her mines
and her manufactures, and the mod.
est colony of yesterday is today an
energetic nation with great plans and
hopes and aspirations. - Walter Z.

cannot be obtained but IL is known that the
United States will not under any oircum-

citizens are prohibited from doing so. The
dispatch says foreign powers have never
been formally notified that the waters were
considered n closed sea and foreign fisheries
had nominal liberty 10 enter waters from
which they had not been formally prohibi-
ted. Our seizures therefore were illegal.
The conclusion is drawn that in the agree

To prohibit poaching hereafter. Therefore
the United Stntes will pay what damages
may be assessed 10y the board Of arbitration
and England guarantees there will be no
