of gratitude for the ample measure OF
their present success, of pride in the rec.
ord of their past achievement, and of hope
for the outlook for still more prosperous
future.
Man Over Nature.
Il This transforms tion-one of the most
remarkable in an era Astounding in the
conquestS effected by man over nature
will be more fully realized by compare
son of the conditions prevailing thirty
years ago, with those of the present time.
The progress that in older countries takes
centuries to effect, is here secured in
years-often in weeks. quickness to
see opportunities, an ability to contrive
means to take advantage of them, and A
commercial courage and daring that is
combined with Judgment-these, with ag-
ricultural industry, thrift. endurance and
SKILL have made Manitoba what it is
to-day. History has been made quickly
here in consequence of these qualities.
In order to appreciate the changes that
have come to the west since it entered
confederation, it would be we'll to speak
of present achievements in terms of that
time. Take, for instance, one years crop
of wheat. Fifty million bushels of the
finest grain in the world was shipped to
feed the millions of older civilizations. To
mention this vast total is to give no con-
cepIlOu OIL It's amount. appreciate
properly stupendous amounts such as
these, it is necessary to speak of them
in terms with which people are familiar.
Thus, if this years crop in Manitoba
alone were put on standard cars, and the
cars coupled together, they would stretch
from Rat Portage to Broadview, a dis
lance of 397 miles. If dispatched from
Winnipeg in standard trains of twenty
cars, it would require $500 such trains
to haul the crop to seaboard. If these
trains left Winnipeg at fifteen minute in
and night, to get the wheat forwarded.
Lord SeIkirk's Prophecy.
The average wheat patch thirty years
ago did not exceed five acres. To-day in
stances of men having thousand acres
| of grain are abundant At the average,
! per acre, of last years crop, it would
require nearly half a million such farms
as were to be found thirty years ago
| to raise as much wheat as Manitoba grew
| in 1901. The population of the province
then was. as already stated, less than
Il, 900, and of these not more than 10 per
cent were whites. To-day Manitoba is
| the home of over quarter of a million
| contented, prosperous and enterprising
! people, and with the steady stream of
! immigration pouring in. the prophecy of
| Lord Selkirk hundred years ago. that
it was capable of sustaining, by agricul-
ture alone, a population Of 30.O0G.O00 of
souls, seems within measurable distance
| of fuIilment.

ACHIEVEMENTS SINCE 1870
Progress Of Manitoba Province an In.
dustriaI Marvel.

dustriaI Marvel.
The formal transfer of the territory to
the crown was made in 1870 and thus was
born the province of Manitoba. Adam
Archibald was appointed governor and at
once ordered a census to be- taken, on
which to base a system of government.
This census showed a population OF 1853.
The province was divided into twenty
four constituencies, and the first election
held on the last day of December 1870.
This was little more than thirty years
ago In that interval, how much has
happened to the Canadian Northwest. It's
growth has been one of the Industrial mir
acles of modern times. Its development
is a perpetual tribute, alike to the wealth
Of it's natural resources. and to the An
glo- Saxon genius for colonization that has
redeemed it to the service of civilization.
Thirty years ago it was rolling green
wilderness untrodden save by the foot
Of the Indian and the fur trader. Over
Its vast leagues strayed countless thous-
ands of bison; in it's streams the watch

Then and Now.
The more they are surveyed, the more
| amazing seems the contrast between the
conditions Of thirty years ago and those
of to-day.
On Nov s, 1878, the records of the legis-
latuie show that the act Incorporating the
city of WINNIPEG and defining its. bouiid-
aries was passed and 4assented to. Two
months after, on JAN 5, 1874 Frank Corn
isl was elected the first mayor defeating
w. F. LuNton after a very close and ex-
citing campaign. Apparently the new
council took hold of matters with a strong
| hand. for we find it recorded that they
spent $4,000 in improving the streets and
constructing sidewalks. There were at.
this time 40S buildings. II hotels, saloons,
90 boarding houses ~ manufactures and
| 421 miscellaneous buildings within the city
limits. BY rs the assessment had as
sumed quite respectable proportions. On
real property it amounted to $1,SGS,567,
and on personal to sS01, 900, while the pop
ula,tiora had climbed to 5000 In the first
census. in December, 1870. Winnipeg's
population was 213 souls
| Seven years later, on the 9th of Octo-
Der, there befeH another occurrence that
was to bear the closest relation to the flu
ture progress of the city of the west. On
| that day there came into the city its first
locomotive. Twelve months later the last
| spike was driven in the Penbina section
| of the Canadian Pacific railroad, and all
rail connection with the outside world was
| first established.
Reaction and Recovery
| Then, In 1882, came the bursting of the
boom, and for five years the city went
| through its period of stress. Values had
scared skywards like rockets and the city
| was perfect carnival of speculation. The
rockets burst and values came down like
sticks. Many were ruined and it took
years for Winnipeg real estate values to
recover their tone. But a policy of rigid
economy was inaugurated. Municipal af-7
/ fairs were wisely managed and in a few
| years the sun of prosperity 1shone again.
With the elasticity of youth, the city re-
covered from the reaction that followed
| the boom, and from then on its progress
sheen rapid and .solidly- based. Its BUSH
