THE BUILDING
OF A COUNTRY
The Natural Pride of Those Who
Take Part in 1t.

To those who have built railroads
through and across the prairies OF
Western Canada, connecting that great
empire of grain and cattle, horse and
sheep with the worlds markets in the
east. must be awarded the privilege
Of looking upon their work. and its
results with pardonable pride II they

and the privations, why shouldn't

the buffalo roamed and fed, are now
alive with cities, towns and villages.
Farms-large and small-on which
machinery has chased the bugaboo Of
laborious work OF the farm, and max
ing farm life one Of the most pleasant
and prosperous Of occupations-are
being cultivated by men of the highest
stamp OF manhood. Many Of these
have inherited from their forebears
the physical strength and the high
type Of manliness that was theirs In
the days when they hewed their homes
out Of the virgin forest, and made
them what may be seen today, beau
tiful farms in the east On the whole
the western prairies breed a high type
Of manhood, wrest from him faults
and diseases which would be his were
it not for the upbuilding influence and
character Of prairie life.
When the builder Of the western Ca
madam prairie looks upon the result Of
his work, why shouldn't his chest ex-
pand? It was probably some Of this
feeling OF pride that took possession
of Sir Donald Mann, vice president Of
the Canadian Northern Railway the
other day in Winnipeg, when he said:
II am not in the habit of giving ad-
vice, but have no hesitation of advis-
ing the young men of Canada, every
young man, to get out and get piece

can be had for the asking and be their
own masters"

are nearly 10000 miles of railway in
actual operation and the population is
over two and quarter million, won

riod you will agree, when you have
contemplated it a moment"
AT that time all the -four meat and
many other supplies for our contracts
were brought from the States. Now
consider what the west is doing to-
day. You have a grain production ex-
ceeding billion bushels and yet only
comparatively small area of the till
able land of the country is occupied.
Five years hence you will be more

U. S. MAY DISARM LINERS
Washington Asks Powers to Agree on
Set Of Rules for Submarine
Warfare.

Washington, Jan. 31.-A suggestion
that all the belligerent countries sub

governing attacks on merchant ves-

such vessels has been made by the
United States in an effort to estab.
lish in international law a general
policy disposing Of many Of the vexa-
tious problems arising from the de-
velopment of submarine warfare.
Identical notes have gone forward
asking the various countries at war
to say specifically whether they are
willing to join in such an agreement.
The declaration of principles would
provide:
That noncombatants may expect
protection under the rules of in
ternational law and the principles of
humanity when travelling on merchant
ships.
That warning must be given before
a merchantmen is attacked.
That belligerent-owned merchant
ships must obey warnings to stop.
That merchantmen shall not be
fired ON except in case of resistance
or flight.
That no merchantmen shall be
sunk except where it is impossible
to supply prize crew, or until pas
sengers and crew are placed in safety.
The note voices warning that this
government is considering adoption of
a policy under which all armed mer-
chantmen that enter ports of the
United States in future shall be con-
sidered war vessels, subject to the
established regulations governing in

AMERICAN MAIL.
NOTE SENT TO LONDON
Message From State Department De.
eIares That America Will Not Ad-
NIT Right to Search Of Neutral Mall
on the High Seas.

Washington. Jan. 29.-The text Of
the American protest to Great Britain
against interference with neutral
mails, made public on Thursday, re-
veals that diplomatic and consular
pouches have been treated in q man
ner the United States considers "Vexa-
tiously inquisitorial" The note de-
scribes the practices of British Off
cials as "unwarranted interferences,"
and urgently requesting a prompt re-
ply, points out that "a strong feeling
is being aroused" in this country by
the loss Of valuable letters, while for
eign banks are refusing to cash Amer
ican drafts because they have no as
surances that drafts are secure in the
mails.
The United States declares that par
eel post articles are entitled to the
exemptions Of neutral trade, and de-
MES the right of Great Britain to take
neutral mail ships into British juris-
! diction for purposes of search and
then submit them to local censorship
regulations. It also denies that the
British government has any authority
over neutral sealed mails on ships
which merely touch at British ports.
With the text Of the American note
was made public Great Britain's ad
interim reply, saying that questions Of
principle raised by the United States
have made it necessary for Great
Britain to consult her allies before an
swering finally, and indicating that
there will be no unnecessary delay in
the negotiations
