The genesis of the northwest Is to be
| found in the history OF the great company,
which, till it surrendered its rights to the
1 crown, thirty years ago, was the control
| ing and governing force over territory
| as large as Europe. The company ex-
tended its posts south and west from the
shores of the bay-south to the Missis-

| time they established a post on the Red
river, and this eventually, became the
nucleus of that mighty Anglo-SaXon
movement that has peopled the fertile
prairies of the Canadian west with a con
tented and prosperous population.
