OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
IN THE DAYS NEWS

Charles A. Dunning, the new
Minister of Railways and Canals
in the Dominion Government, be-
gan hisscaTeer as q foundry APP
prentice in the English city OF
Leicester. Obliged TO leave his
native land for a dryer climate,
he decided to emigrate to the
Canadian West and landed in
Saskatchewan with ten dollars IN
his pocket. For some time there
after he was employed as a farm
hand. The long winter evenings
on the prairie gave him oppor-
tunity for study. Later he iden-
titled himself with the Saskatche-
wan Grain Growers Association
and IN time he became the head
of the worlds largest elevator
company. His rise in politics was
equally rapid. In less than 90
years after his arrival in Sas-
katchewan he had become premier
of the Province. Mr.. Bunning's
career is one Of the outstanding
romances of emigration. Inter-
woven with it is another romance.
His marriage few years ago
eliminated a courtship begun
when husband and wife were boy
and girl. It was broken when the
young emigrant left home, and
later renewed.

THE OVERSEE HIGHWAY

The county commissioners took a
walk,
They only walked q little way;
AS they walked a.ong they talked
OF, the Over Sea Highway.
Now one says we can put it
through,
Another says we will try it, too;
So they call an election day
Fer the Over Sea Highway.
Now the project is doing fine,
It is on the way to old Big Pine;
And it will soon reach No Name
Key,
Over the land and over the sea.
They started the read from Key
West,
And each and every one is doing
his best
To push ii through toithe mainland
And put Key West upon the
stand.
With the other big cities the world
around,
And so the auto tourist viii come
down
To Key West night and day
By that Over Sea Highway.
Now they are going from key to
key,
And connecting the land over the
sea;
All Key West viii be happy that
day
They finish the Over Sea Highway.
When the road Is finished we will
hold up our head,
And show the world that we are
not dead,
But very much alive and, win say
That we are now connected to the
u. S. A.
We owe our gratitude to each
man,
The county commissioners, noble
band;
So hurrah for their nobility we say
And thanks for the Over Sea High
way.
