THE BIDI
. OF A COUNTRY
The Natural Pride of Those Who
Take Part in It.
To thoao who have built rnllroails
through nud ucrosa the prairies of
Western Canada, connecting that great
cmplro of grain and cattlo, liorso and
sheep with tho world's markets In tho
east, rnuHt bo awarded tho privilege
of looking upon their work, and Ita
rcHiiltH with imrdonablo prldo. If thoy
remlnlscenco, and tell of tho hardships
and tho privations, why shouldn't
they? Tho broad prairies on which
tho buflalo roamed nml fed, aro now
nllve with cities, towns and villages.
Farms largo and small on which
machinery has chased tho bugaboo of
laborious work off tho farm, and mak
ing farm llfo ono of tho most pleasant
nnd prosperous of occupations aro
toeing cultivated by men of tho highest
stamp of manhood. Many of theso
havo Inherited from their forobeara
tho physical strength and tho high
typo 01 manliness that was theirs In
tho days when thoy bowed their homes
out of tho virgin forest, and mado
them what may bo seen today, beau
tiful farms in tho east. On tho wholo
tho western prairies breed a high typo
of manhood, wrest from him faults
nnd diseases which would bo his woro

When tho builder of tho western Ca
nadian pralrlo looks upon tho result of
his work, why shouldn't his chest ex
pand? It was probably Bomo of this
feeling of prldo that took possession
of Sir Donald Mann, vlco president of
tho Canadian Northern Railway tho
other day in Winnipeg, when ho said
"I am not In tho habit of giving ad
vice, but I havo no hesitation of advis
ing tho young men of Canada, every
young man, to got out nnd get a plena
of western Canada's land that now
can bo had for tho asking and bo their
own masters."
"It was 3G years ago when I first
camo to Winnipeg," ho said. "At that
tlmo there were less than 150.000
people west of Lako Huron in Canada.

over two and a quarter million, a won
derful achievement in such a short pe
riod you will ngrco, when you havo

"At that tlmo all tho flour, meat and
many other supplies for our contract1
were brought from tho States. Now
consider what tho west Is doing to
