locomotive was one of the important events in modern history it has enriched the life of the world by delheruie to it at low cost the products of tho ends of the earth while li has brourht within the

london as are the people of near bv countries tbe locomotive engine made lti lint appearance in canada in 1837 on the champlaiu and sl lawrence ilulroad thin road was only lo miles long and ran between the town ot ln pralhe on the st- lawrence river and sl johns on the richelieu thli railway as opened in 1836 i cine operated by horses during lb drat ear however it was not until with the incorporation of the grand trunk hallway m 185 that the railway er- ln canada really began while a beginning had been made in 1s37 atil during tho next fifteen years only go miles of line were added the grand trunk linked up ontario and quebec and gave both provinces direct connection with the atlantic coast through portland it also laid the foundations for direct connection between that port and chicago much railway building followed ln ontario the next project ot importance was the building of the intercolonial which wai begun in 1868 and completed in is 6 this ve ontario and quebec direct connection through canadian territory with a canadian port on the atlantic open all the year round in the meantime an agitation for the building ot a railway to connect ontario and quebec with the pacific coast culminated in the incorporation ot the canadian pacific railway on november 7th 1sss at cropellachle in eagle pass a gorge in the gold range british columbia sir donald a smith afterwards lord strath cona and mount royal drove the last spike in the main line of the canadian pacific railway thus connecting montreal with vancouver this was a notable event not only in tho history of canada but ot the british empire by the connecting of the pacific coast with montreal canada secured its first transcontinental railway indeed it was the first real transcontinental on this continent for while in 1sg9 the east coast of tho united stales was connected with san francisco by rail and soveral other such connections have been added stilt even now no alngle railway in the united states extends from coast to coast as does the canadian pacific in canada november 7th was also a notable day for the british emplr ln that the canadian pacific provided a short cut from britain to tho orient as sir charles topper ln bis reminiscences has pointed out it brought nkohama three wceki nearer to london than it was by the suex canal the history of the canadian pacific railway is the history of g re iter canada when it was first proposed there were only lour provinces in confederation ontario quebec mew brunswick and nova scotia between 1870 and 1873 prince edward island manitoba and british columbia entered the last mentioned on the express condition that it would be con nected with eastern canada by a line ot railway at that time manitoba was a mere postage stamp in dimensions and the regions between it and the rockies were unorgaolxad territory tbe promise of the canadian pacific not only brought british colombia into confederation and gave canada a window on the pacific but the build lug of it by establishing direct and quick communication between the east and the west fixed the destiny of the vast regions west of the great lakes and north of the 43th parallel the ties of sentiment were thus strengthened by the economic link of stoel fifty years ago it was by no means certain that the territories between lak superior and the rockies would not pass into the bands of the united states tbe shortest route from eastern canada to fort garry now winnipeg was via chicago and st paul trade moved north and south rather than east and west so that

deelopmlnt the countrj continued its policy or iggressuc construction by adding iaeders to its main line this encouraged settlement for settlers icithhcdibchcs secure as long as they were not too far from the railway btehow the population on the plains began to increase in 1885 when there were not more than 1 000 miles ot railwa there were onl 1j0 000 people in that vast territory between winnipeg and t algary and ldmonton mt half of whom were located in man obi within the nont 0 sears the prairie provinces with about 4 eoo miles or railway hnd a population of 800 000 dy 1923 these provinces had 20000 miles ot line or which s 500 belonged to the canadian paclrlc and their population was 2 000 000 the driving of the last spike it craigollochlo also marked tho opening by the company of the most aggressuc and sustained immigration and colonization campaign that canada has witnessed from that time to tho present the company has sptnt nearly 70 000 000 on lis immigration and colonization activities and it got the immlgninli too during the years preceding the incorporating of the company immigrants were coming to canada at the rate or only 36 000 a year this was j very light inflow for away back in 1832 as many as 52000 were received but during the period 18gl 91 immigration was very nearly trebled that ts it come at the rate of s2 000 a iot indted during the lost two decades of the last century the government seems to have left immigration pretty much to the company for during tho 1882 1902 period the total expenditure on immigration was only j5 475 000 as comparea with an appropriation of 3 400 000 this year through the company- agencies have come the greater proportion of thi over eoo0 00o immigrants received during the last k years coincident with the driving of the lost spike at cralgcilachle tbe company launched out hs a promoter or foreign trade and transoceanic travel fn this department not only has it been by far the most important factor in canada but one of the most important within the british empire which is saying a great deal when h is recalled that the latter is the greatest commercial unit that the world has ever sten within less than nine
