time. or about that time, Donald A.
Smith. afterward known as Sir Donald
A. Smith-having been knighted on
account Of his services in Canada. and
still later known as Lord Strathcona
and Mount Royal-was seeking the
means by which a railroad from Otta-
wa or from Montreal and ultimately
from the Atlantic coast in Canada
could be constructed to the Pacific.
Sir Donald spent great deal Of
time in Winnipeg That was the most
westerly province of Canada that had
been brought under development at
that time. Sir Donald was anxious to
have the Canadian Pacific railroad
pass through or near Winnipeg, but
owing TO certain surveys that had
been made the government decided to
build road about 400 miles north
OF that point
Thereupon Sir Donald. who was
seeking railroad communication be-
tween Winnipeg and the east. looked
southerly toward the Minnesota
boundary, hoping that a railroad
might be built to connect at the
boundary with a road running north
from St. Paul.
One bitter. cold winter day. the
thermometer ranging more than
twenty degrees below zero. Sir Don
aid with a little company started
southerly from Winnipeg on business
connected with this contemplated
railroad He and his associates wers
pursuing their way when in the dis
tance and from toward the south an
other party was discovered which
was making its way northerly.
At last. the two parties met Sir
Donald observed that one member Of
the party from the south was fol-
lowing the main body with a dog sled
This man was heavily wrapped in
furs and he seemed unmindful of the
fact that the weather was like that
Of the Arctics.
The two men met. Sir Donald
stopped long enough to greet the tray
eler who was following the main
party with a dog sled. They exchanged
a few words and then parted. each
pursuing his contemplated trip. The
traveller who followed with the dog
Sled was James J. Hill. and this was
the first meeting between two men
who we're afterward to be associated
in one OF the worlds great transpo ia.
ton achievements. For il was Lord
Strathcona. in association with bis
cousin. Sir George Stephen. afterward
Lord Mount Stephen. and Mr. Kitchen
who with James J. Hill gained control
Of what was the parent railroad of
the Great Northern system.
The attention Of Mr.. Hill was called
to this anecdote. His intimation was
that it was not correct. and when he
was asked to point out wherein It was
incorrect he with grim humor called
attention to the fact that Lord
Strathcona should have been spoken
Of as the chief representative at that
time of the great fur company of Can
ada and British North America. So
that only in respect to the fact that
Lord StrathcOna was not properly
designated by his true relation to the
fur company was this romantic story
in error and it was in this humorous
way that Mr.. Hill admitted that the
anecdote was true.
