The retufn of tho Duko of Con- naugbt to Kngland recalls the Ftory of a iery pr«tly compliment that was paid to him by a rertain French-Can- adian settler â€" the descendant of an ancient Hiiiruenot fiimily, and evi- dently one of .Nalure'.s gentlemen â€" at whos<> houRe H.U.H. stayed for u bripf period one day when out bunt- ing. While the Duke was resting after the fatigue of the <lia.se in the best room the houiv afforded, lie happen- ed to glance round, and noted with surprise that, althouKh there were two dockfi in the apartment itself, and another visible In the corridor, not one of tliem was i;olnK. Thereupon, aetin;; ii[K)n the Ini- pulae of the inoin"ni, he mentioned In a.t delicate a iiianner as possible to his host that iiis docks hud all stopped, and hinted thai U/e would like to be alio ed to present him with one that eoulil Iw more relied upon.

Manitoba, one day early in ,June, lii81, put down his feed bucket to put a hand to hi;- ear to Alston. Then lie threw down tl^p inukel and ran toward the log cabin. As he Beared the cabin the man shouted: "Here she is a-coniin'I" His wife and children ran out of the cabin to watch the first train on the Cauiidian Pacific Uaihvay steam along from Winnipeg to I'orHige la I'rairie. A few days prtvious, the first map of the lines was issued at Winnipeg. The map announced "Special low rates on emigrants' moveables' Tho tariff went into effect June i:; i88l. At that time the railway lines ran from Rat Portage 10 WinnipeK, i distance of i:!o miles; from Winnipeg to I'ortage la Prairie, l\> miles, aud from Winniiiegto Emer- eon, 6.1 miles. The total mileage of lines in cperation was 2,'>:{ miles. In 1881 Portage la Prairie was the westerii terminus of the railway, and Rat Portage, now Kenora, was the eastein terminus. The Pembina branch, S.'i miles long, v^hith was later taken over Ijy the Cauailian Pacific was started in IST.'i and completed in 1S7S. Tlie first train over this branch left St. lioniface ou November '.\, 1878. The tram or:cers were !â- '. llayward, conductor, I'. U. Vanaiua, engineer, and J. Donovan, tirenian. and it con- sisted of an engine, three flat cars and a caboose. It was a new sensation to Winnlpcggers, who had gone by York boats in summer, and the dog train in winter who had journeyed overland in the Red River cart; and after- wards in stages or Red River steam- boat, A new era of affairs was usher- ed in by the railroad. It made a trip from Ontario to Winnipeg in three days possible, over the line to Rat Portage. Previously it often took live weeks to make the trip, and even a longer period in winter. When the Canadian Pacific took over the branch lines in .Manitoba, connection with the outside world was made at Emerson, ti5 miles from Winnipeg, by St. Paul, Minneapolis and Manitoba Railway. The main line of the C. P. R. west to Portage la Prairie was situated a little north of the present line. The time card in ;18S1 showfKl names or Ecveral i towns and villager which are hardly I heard now. A dally service wa« imainLaintd .south and west of Winni- I peg, and east as far as Cross l.ake, jfrom which point to Rat Portage a bl- !w6<'kly service was run. The .",.J-mil« 'run to Portage la Prairb- was made in 5 hours and 4iJ minutes, with a I stop at Poplar Heights for refresh- j neuts, giving the actual running rate ;ot a fraction more than teu miles aa ! hour. The trip to Portage la Prairie to- 1 day is madeiu one hour and thirty-nin« minutes, including several stops. The surveyed route, which for years had been selected ds the future direction of the railway west of Portage la ; Prairie, ran northwestward. Whea I the first map of the lines was publish- ed it was announced that work waa proceeding rapidly on western exten- ision from Portage la Prairie, rroiu a total of 25.1 miles in ISSl the Cana- dian Pacific Railway has extended t« 18,23;! miles of lines. The railway now has l.fiOO miles of double tracks, which exceeds that of all other Cana- dian railways put together. Th« ftrst map of Hne& ever igeuea by tb« railway company.

The Canadian Pacific has several of these farma throughout the We.st, with an expert in charge of each, and at every cattle sale these farms are represented by animals of a very high class, both for breeding, milch and beef animals. The exiierts in charge of these farms will at all times aid In any way they can the farmer who seeks advice with reference to tbo best stock to go in for and also liie proper way to secure the greatest re.gults. As an Instance of the demand for good breeding stock, eighty-one head of shorthorn cattle realized $27,S20 at a aale recently held at Calgary, Alta. The top price obtained was $885, which was uaid (or a thorougbbred bull. while the average price was $340, v when it is known that 65 of tbeee at Imals were under eighteen months o| I it will be seen that they were a fin« 1 I of animals. ^i- While there Is no iiroapect of an mediate reduction in the price of : as a result of the Increased inter 'displayed by the farmers of the j the pralriee of the Canadian West bA'tr unlimited room for the raising of I kinds of livestock, and with the fat ers taking a greater interest in \\i ! stock than ever before, Canada Is ' lined to play a large part in »o\y the meat problem which the world b*^ faces, and which is likely to beeoM( still more acute at the close of the wuf^ when European countries will be biqb? jiug animals to repleolati (hei£ keri%' V >^f , <^ i t'fm MMM
