 The eve, of the western world are upon thi. historic city. The celebra. ton of the tcrccntenary of Cnamplain s founding of Quebec is altogether adnir. able both in the comprchcnsivcness ot its conception and in the excellence of ifs execution, and is an event when awakcns interest not only in the Do' minion of Canada but in the united states also. From this point as base intrepid explorers blazed the pathway of civilization through trackless forests and explored lakes and rivers and ter ritorv which is now within the juris' diction of the United States. Names associated with the early history Of Quebec are land marks in our gcogra- phy and are indclibly impressed upon our civilization.
 Three hundred years is but brief period in the history of England or France but it is all the history of Que bee and all of Anglo Saxon America Here has been written an interesting story. Here have been witnessed the victories and defeats of war and the blessed triumpns of peace. Tho battle .S ions rast der upon the bosom of the St. Law renee. The representatives of those powers assembled here are recalling past differences but only to emphasize the present prevalence of a spirit of genuine friendship between them.
 It is with unusual pleasure I bring
 you greetings from the President anC the people of the United States, who re
 ioice with you in the progress you hav'
 made in the manifold ways which mak'
 for the strength and honor of great people. We are not indifferent to youi
 welfare nor are you to ours. The blood
 of common ancestry is in our veins
 We have much in common. We glor,
 in the same traditions and we have th,
 same jurisprudence. Our standing O
 civilization are alike. Here, side h,
 side, owing allegiance to different SOY
 ereignties, we are, in God Providence
 to work out our destiny. We wish yo
 that contentment which comes from th
 cultivation of the arts of peaceful in
 dustry under those political institution
 which are the guaranty of justice an
 liberty among men.
 The United States and Canada hay
 but fairly entered upon their career, Each has vast areas either sparsely SC, tied or unoccupied where many wi make their homes in the future. Man millions will be added to our populatio and to yours. We have each mad , much advance in the scale of civiliZi | ton and are gratified with the progrc. - we have made. Back of us lies a bric but honorable history and before ], . stretch illimitablc opportunities. W confidently believe that we are eac | destined to play a large and worth | part m the progress of the human m, c upon the western continent. We ha, n no rivalries except in the ways Il peace. We neither eovet the other '' territory. We covet only each other $ neighborly esteem. We rest upon II common frontier more than five thou n and miles in length. It is crossed ar q recrossed by instrumentalities If COT
 mercc which tend to strengthen ol
 ncighborly ties. There are no forti
 cations upon our frontier and no bait E ships upon the waters which divide
 and we believe and fervently hope tn 2 there will never be need of any defe if sive preparation between us.
