WHAT CANADA'S
NEW ROAD MEANS
CONTINUANCE OF PROSPERITY,
SAYS MIR. BOLE, M. P.
Assurance of Building Of Grand Trunk
Pacific from Coast to Coast Portends
Activity of Business and Opening OF
New Lands Esteemed in
the Dominion.

"The great victory won by the lib
eral party at the polls on Nov. 3 means
five more years Of prosperity for Can
ada in general and western Canada In
Particular says D. W. Bole, who, has
Just been elected to parliament from

oils. resting from the labors Of the
campaign.
"rhe liberal victory" continued Mr..
Bole, (which was about as sweeping
as President Roosevelt's triumph IN
the United States, means that within
the next seven or eight years new
transcontinental railway will be built
in Canada, from coast to coast, every
foot of it new. There will be 5000
miles of the main line of the Grand
Trunk Pacific and two or three thou
sand miles of branches. t~
sEThe building of such great rail-
way in so short a time requires great
activity and an immense expenditure
of money. The mere disbursing Of the
funds required to build the railway
maintaining prosperity at high pitch.
But as the railway will be the means
of opening up a vast area Of the finest
wheat land in the world, it will mean
a great influx of population and an eX-
tensive general development of the
west.
"Western Canada is now enjoying a
very high degree Of prosperity. After
all the alarm we had about rust, the
crops turned out very satisfactorily
tho the wheat yield was somewhat be-
low the average of twenty bushels to
the acre, which has been maintained
for so many years. five add to our pres
ent activity and prosperity that which
will inevitably result from the con
struction of the Grand Trunk Pacific
it seems certain that in the next few
years the great country Of which Win
nipeg is the center will be about the
best place in the world for money
making.
ssThe country is expanding so rapidly
that I am convinced that the Grant
Trunk will have all the business it car
handle as fast as it is built. Indeed
another outlet to the east is absolutely
necessary to keep up with the demands
made on the railways by our ever-in
creasing wheat crop, which has more
| than trebled in ten years and will prob
ably continue to grow quite as rapidly
in the future.
Regarding the American movement
into western Canada, Mr.. Bole said thai
it is keeping up amazingly well, anc
that there is no class of settlers pour
! ing into what is sometimes called "the
last west ~ who are more highly es
teemed by the Canadians.

The Coming Legislative Session.

Several gentlemen who have been
elected to the Minnesota house of rep
resentatives are engaged in contest for
the speakership, and the lOS republican
members elect will have to decide among
them in short time.
The selection of a speaker involves
"slate' covering the house patronage
and the best committee assignments.
The supporters Of the successful man
will get the plums, and will dominate
the important committees, which gen
orally shape legislation.
There are reports, as usual, charging
certain Of the candidates with friend
ship for the railway corporations. I'm
fortunately, these reports arc sometimes
true, and it has happened, not so very
long ago, that a speaker has been elect
ed who has organized the house in the
interest of these corporations
1t is devoutly to be hoped that the
next speaker will be man independent
of such influences, and fit by nature and
environment to use his important posi-
ton for the good Of the whole people.
House members who want to serve their
constituents faithfully should look care
fully to this. 1t is better to stand for
the right man, even if he loses, than to
vote for another in order to get chair
nanship or a job for friend.
There is much at stake in the organ
ization, but not everything. The expert
ence of two years ago shows that rep
resentatives who have been led into a
mistake may correct it afterward by
watchful attention to their business.
The rules of the Minnesota house do
not give committees such great power
as they have in congress. In 1903 the
house was organized and committees ap-
pointed to the entire satisfaction of
certain powerful interests. These COM
mittees handled legislation just as might
have been expected, but the house mem
bers as whole had been aroused to
watchfulness, and for time they over
turned the action of the committees
with regularity that was almost mo-
notonous. Before the session was end,
ed the house had record for good meas
ures passed and poor measures killed
which quite redeemed the early mistake
The senate was the graveyard for some
of the best legislation passed by the
house, and the senate was to blame fol
the failure to submit "wide OPEN
q tax amendment.
A glance over the list Of the new
house shows a membership of high
character and ability. It's composite
common sense should carry it thru the
session with an excellent record. It il
important to get a right start, but it i.
not always easy at first to pick out the
correct course, and the selection of {
speaker is a grand opening for the art
of the wirepuller. It is pure politics
and not business. The house may max,
e political error, but when it reache
the business Of the state, that is anothe
thing. The people Of the state hav,
learned by experience, and will no
despair of results, even tho the begin

In the opinion Of the court, written by
Justice Laughlin, most of the charges are
