which is spreading all over that por.

SO far as this part Of the state is con-

a committee of citizens appointed to
secure tract of land near the city,

PLANS FOR EXTENSION
OF. CANADIAN PACIFIC

WINNIPEG, March 2O.-In order
to keep pace with the abnormal devel-
opment Of the Canadian west, the Ca
naad' an Pacific railway will probably
spend $50, 100000 on an entirely new
line Of railway the location Of which
will not be announced until plans are
completed. At any rate, 1t will be
an entirely new outlet for grain and
products of western Canada. t..
The announcement came from Geo.
J. Bury, vice president of the Cana
dian Pacific railway, and was made
in reply to delegation from north
ern Manitoba headed by Premier r.
P. Robin. Mr.. Bury told the delega-
ton candidly that the Canadian Pa
cific railway could not possibly consid-
er and more construction projects this
year, as 1t could not hope to accom-
plish any more work than already ON
the program for 1912. It was not a
case OF money. the vice president
said, for be could have all money nee
essary to build lines and make Inn
provements in the west, but It was a
case Of material and labor.
Mr.. Bury tlso pointed out to the
delegation that 1t was not . case Of
shortage Of cars or engines that kept
the crops from being moved. The real
reason was that the company did not
have enough ines on which to move
it's trains. It had all the cars re
quired, but they were no good when
they could not be moved. Last year.
he said, the company had to ship 1000
empty cars to Emerson in order to
get them out Of the road to make
room for the freight that was already
SOaded in cars and on the line.

cles have been discovered in western
America and other parts of the world.
ihe lguanodcn gets its name from
me resemblance Of its teeth to those of
a lizard called the iguaua. which is
found living in South America, but the
lguana is g small creature. which would
Irlghten nobody, while its predecessors
OF some millions Of years ago were so
terrlble on account Of their size alone
mat the sight Of one OF them might
nave put herd Of elephants TO flight,
II there had been any elephants ten.
This leads to the conclusion that
some Of the animals OF the earth.
which are now of no great size had
representatives Of monstrOus proDor-
tions in primeval times Apparently
some Of these creatures became too
large and too awkward to survive. But.
on the other hand, many creatures have
increased in size with the progress Of
time Among these are the horse
which, in its earliest shape. was q lit
tie animal. not larger than a fox.
However none Of the animals which
have increased in size have attained
dimensions comparable with those Of
the monsters that we have been talking
OF. The elephant is now the largest
land animal but he is not as large as
his predecessors, the mammoth and the
