RAILROADS AS CIVILIZERS.

The report that Canada is to have
another transcontinental railway line
is evidence sufficient to convince the
most pessimistic gentleman that the
kings dominion is settling up rapidly
with people; also there is an increase
in business. Railroads build in Sec
tions where there is an opportunity to
secure business; they also create bust
ness. They are great developers of
country and transform wilderness in
to land of prosperous people. They
are, too, q great civilizer. Did you ever
stop to think when you boarded a
train, how many representatives from
the sisterhood of states there are in
the coachP 1t is on train that we
meet men from everywhere. Our
new found friend may be represent
alive from the rock bound coast OF
Maine or he may reside in the sun
kissed commonwealth of California.
Another chance acquaintance may
have his habitat in the sweet sunny
south or perhaps in the north,
across the line, where winters chill.
