THE BUILDING
Of A COUNTRY
The Natural Pride OF Those Who
Take Part in II.

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 it's
results with pardonable pride II they

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 hewe6 their homes
out of the virgin forest, and made
them what may be seen today. beau

the western prairies breed high type
Of manhood, wrest from him faults
and diseases which would be his were

character Of prairie life.
When the builder of the western Ca.

his work, why shouldn't his chest ex-

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:
Il 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
of western Canada's land that now
can be had for the asking and be their
own masters"
1T was Sc years ago when i first
came to Winnipeg" he said. AT that
time there were less than 10000
people west of Lake Huron in Canada.

"At that time all the -four, meat and
many other supplies for our contracts
were brought from the States. Now
