On all sides she was surrounded with

without quitting her own estate.

greatness, however. was then covered up by the rows of board shanties and shacks that did duty as business houses. with here and there pretentious look ing brick or stone structure. all of which l soon learned to distinguish as places where money was loaned. re- member . remark I then made to c friend to the effect that the town seemed to be made up of two classes, judging from its business buildings. one of whom had money to loan. and the other of whom 1t seemed to be in sad need of c chance to borrow.
 To-day the frame shacks have given place to substantial business blocks and towering once buildings. And Main street not being long enough to easily accommodate all the growing business interests it has spread around onto Portage avenue. Imagine . town in which four years ago the retail dry goods business. with the exception of one store-the Hudson Bay company vas done In one-story frame shacks. with counters and shelving down either side of a center aisle. now proftably supporting immense department estab- lishments covering square blocks of ter. ritory and running seven stories into the air. Such will give one an idea of the grosth of the retail business of this town in four years.
 As for the wholesale business. the growth has been even greater. Mere egures are too dry to quote. and besides they are not nearly % sfpressive as ars the massive brick and stone structures that have replaced the '1esn-to- sheds which housed the vholesaIs stoeks of nerchandise four years go.

The favorable decision of the su- preme court of New York on the law making ten hours day and sixty hours week the time limit of labor in the bakeries of that state was recently reversed by the supreme court of the United States and the law declared un- constitutional. Justice Peckham in his opinion says that "the freedom of mas ter and employe to contract with each other, in relation to their employment and in defining the same. cannot be prohibited or interfered with without violating. the federal constitution. . Justices Holmes, Harlan, White and Day dissented, and the first named two wrote dissenting opinions. As Justice Harlan has said, this is one of the most important decisions of the cen tury, but those who hope it will be a serious blow to labor are mistaken, says an exchange. The important de creases in the hours of labor have all been brought about by the efforts of organization. It has not required a
 law to reduce the hours of labor in the skilled trades to eight and in some cases seven day.

President Roosevelt discovered that the Panama canal commission was being robbed by combination of American trusts; that. as the democrats have always claimed, the tariff has created monopolies which were so bold as to try to rob the government which by it's favoritism has created them and as ungrateful as the viper which stung the bosom that cherished it. When rumors of this condition of affairs first reached the president he did not be- lieve them, but he began an investiga- ton. First he determined to get rid of Admiral Walker, chairman of the old commission. Congress, that is q few leaders in congress, killed the bill that gave the president authority to re- organize the Panama canal commis- sion. but the resourceful president found a way" when he had gotten rid of Walker and the old commission. then he placed men whom he knew in charge and told them to report the facts to him When they made their report he found that the rumors were true and he became angry and used strenuous, not strong. but strenuous, language. referred to the trusts as hogs who had put not alone their fore feet but all four feet into the trough. etc. and then he rendered his now famous decision that the commission should either compel the American trusts to grant their largest foreign discount or else buy the machinery and supplies for the canal abroad. The president is protectionist, but he does not be- lieve in the perpetuation of schedules which will allow of extortion and he is convinced that many of the DingIey schedules do that

Information comes from Washington that the mature timber on the national forest reserves is to be offered for sale. This announcement is In line with the declared purpose of the department of agriculture to develop the national for est reserves by use. The restriction formerly laid upon the export of tim Der from the states in which the forest reserves were located has been re moved, and the law now places no linn itation on the shipment of timber grown on any forest reserve except those in the state of Idaho and the Black Hills reserve in South Dakota. The effect of this change in the law, and the declared policy of the depart ment of agriculture, Is that the timber on the reserves may now be cut and disposed of to the highest bidder. 0n many of the reserves there are gredt quantities of mature timber. and on some of them the facilities for getting 1t out at a reasonable cost are excel lent. The forest service, which has charge of the administration of the re- serves, is anxious to begin the cutting of this mature timber as soon as pos sible, and it is prepared to consider offers from lumbermen who wish to undertake such operations.

people who arc staying, and more coming b-7s--
 This place will be the Chicago of Can- ada, in fact is the Chicago of Canada now" said a merchant friend. Just look at it's position. Everything going or coming to and from this broad vest ern country must pass through Winni- peg. The large lakes to the north pre- vent any transcontinental Canadian railroad from escaping us. We have practically two such lines to-day in the Canadian Pacific and the Canadian Northern, and the Grand Trunk is now beginning the construction of third. It is merely question of few years until we are second Chicago in point of railroad connections. as we'll as in location"
 The truth of the matter is that with its 100000 of population, and its two lines of railroad, Winnipeg has already distsnced Chicago in one important par ticuar. That is as wheat shipping poirt. Reliable figures that did not originate in Winnipeg show less than 40,f00,000 bushels of wheat inspected in Chicago annually, while Winnipeg has passed the 50,000.0 900 bushel point, ap amount greater by 10000, 900 bushels than is inspected each year in Duluth ard Superior together.
 Probably nothing better illustrative of the city's growing commercial im- pcrtance may be found than visit to the railroad yards. No single system of railroad on the American continent has SC large freight yard at any point as that of the Canadian Pacific at Winni- peg. It reaches the enormous total of 1s0 miles of sidings. And this 120 miles of sidings is moving panorama of freight cars bringing in the products of the western factories and taking out the products of the-broad reaches of the western fields. It is undisputable evi- tence of prosperity and push.

 The post ofice receipts are another fair criterion of . city's business, and those of Winnipeg for last year amount ed to $156,519, which represented the mailing of some 7,000. 900 letters, 3.000.. 900 packages, besides post cardA news papers, etc. :.
 To turn from the strictly commercial interests to the building of homes for the rapidly increasing population, let us glance at the building record. The num- Der of permits issued by the building in- spector last year for the erection of new buildings was 2.2ss, an average valua- ton of nearly 5000 for each building. The records % far this year are consid- ersbly in excess of those of last year.
 In the way of municipal improvements the city paid for labor on the streets alone last week the sum of S37 900. It now has more than 120 miles of paved streets; 54 miles of which are boule- yards.

The running time was just seven hours longer than is now consumed to cover the same number Of miles between the two cities. l rode in sleeper then, to be sure, but the sleeper was a stock car by comparison with those in service now.

There must be a reason for such train serv- Ice, argued with myself; and as ob- selyer the well-filled sleepers, the req son was apparent; the trains were run ming because the patronage not only warranted them, but demanded them. But why the reason for such an amount of travel to this north country?" l queried of myself. Again the answer was apparent by glance at the passen-
 tAv interests that were sending these pros- porous merchants backward and for- ward on business errands.

A THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK.

One of the members of local
firm that ran large advertisement
In THE BEE the last two issues
previous to Christmas, stated that
from the date of the first issue OF
his advertisement, trade fairly
swooped down upon him and there
was no let up until Christmas day.
Another merchant who had not con-
sidered IL necessary in the past to
put forth any extra holiday adver-
til ing used a little printers lux this
year, and was all smiles over the
result. He stated that his holiday
trade this year was larger than he
had ever known before. These sim
pie illustrations are but q few of
the many instances showing the
good results of advertising. Those
merchants who in the past have
failed to see the good of advertising
should pause and reflect, and turn
over a new Leaf for the new year.
