WESTERN RAILROAD

The first train to run west of Chi cago made its initial trip over the Galena & Chicago Union railway seventy years ago today, Nov. 20, 1S43. This infant railway was only ten miles long, and its western ter minus is now in a thicEx1y populated section. The train was drawn by a locomotive appropriately called the Pioneer, and this quaint and antdquat- ed engine is still to be seen in Chi cago museum. Chicago's history as al grain center may be said to have be- gun with the first trip of the Pioneer, for on the first eastward trip it brought to the city several bags of wheat, which had been un1oaded from a farm wagon into the crude car. Some days later Chicago re- cefved it's first rail shipment of live stock, a load of hogs drawn into the infant city, now the worlds greatest live stock market, by the Pioneer The Pioneer was but toy locomotive compared to the giant mechantsms that now haul long and heavily laden trains fin and out of the Windy City Many steel highways now stretch westward from Chicago across the continent, but the ten-ufIe Ga1ena 6g Chicago Union was the daddy of them all

SIR WHFRTD LAURIER
 IS SEVENTY-TWO TO-DAY

The Rt. Hon. Sir wiIfrid Laurier, the 'tsflver-tongued'' leader of Cana dian Lfberalists, will today pass the milestone. II was in the little village of St. Lin, near Montreal, that the future prime minister of a dominion yet unborn made his premiere on the stage of life seventy-two years ago today. His birth was almost coincfdent with the union of Upper and Lower Canada, the first step toward that confedera- ton of the Provinces in which Wilfrid Laurfer was destined for the role of political leader. When Sir WI1frtd was born Canada was just beginning the struggle for responsible govern ment. The era of railroad building had not yet set In. The West. now a rich granary supporting popuaous cities, was the habitatton of the In dian and the buffalo. considered worthless for any pa1eface purpose except hunting and trapping. The discovery Of gold in British Columbia, which sent the California Argonauts rushing northward. WAS still in the future. Canada slept. and scarcely dreamed of her glorious opportuni- ties.
 The future Premier and Liberal leader was educated at McGiu Uni- versfty and studied law with the late Hon. R. Laflamme, Q. O. Soon after he was called to the bar the Donain- lon of Canada was formed, and in 1871 he began his public career las a member of the Quebec Provincial As- sembly. Three years later the young French-Cznadian was elected to the Federal Assembly, where he soon be- Laur1er.'' He became a, truly nation al figure in 1877, when he was given the portfolio of Minister of Public Revenue in the Mackenzie govern ment- In the general elections of 1878, when the Mackenzie ministry fell and Sir John Macdonald was re- turned to power, Laurier was defeat ed, but was immediately afterwards elected from Quebec East. In 1891, on the retirement of MT. Blake, he as- stunned the Liberal leadership which he has ever since retained. In 1ss6 his party was successful at the polls, and Mir. Laurier became the first French-Canadian Prime Minister of Canada He was knighted the fol- lowing year, and continued as Pre- nier until his party was defeated, on the reciprocity issue, in 1911.
