When the train on which Mr. Reid was travelling arriv. ed at the scene of the wreck, the pas- sengers had to transfer to another train, and walk through mud almost knee deep. It was an awful sight to see the wreckage strewn on both sides While on the trip Mr. Reid pur- chased a motor ambulance and under- eftaking waggon combined.

The destruction of the Canadian House of Parliament has awakened | recollections of its bujiding, in the mind of Peter Redmord. a retired locomotive engiener, who saw King Biward lay its foundation stone in When construction work was first started Mr. Redmond was employed As a GWeman on the Ottawa and St. Lawrence railroad, and he was pro- moted to engineer a few days before the first material for the stru-ture was hauled io Ottawa. One train Crew was employed for three sum- mars, hauling sandstone and 'quarry rock Prescott, where it was landed the steamers on the St. Law river. The train made a round trip each day. The first stone used in the building came from quarries located where the main part of the city of Cleveland, Ohio, now stands. It was shipped by water to Prescott, where it was loaded from the boats onto the railway cars by large cranes. Mr. Redmond's train did nothing else during three summers but haul the stone, "It required two cars and somtimes three for each piece of stone that was moved to Ottawa," Mr. Redmond sajd yesterday. "The smallest stone that was hauled by the yaflroad weighed three tons, and the average weight was about five tons. 'We moved two stones which weighed nine tons each. . I believe they were the largest that were put into the building, "Owing to the excessive weight on the cars, which were much lighter than the steel cars now in use on the railroads, it was necessary to run our engines slowly. We seldom went | over éighteen miles an hour, and as a rule the fastest time we made was fifteen miles," No iron or steel was used in those days for the springs on the 'cars. Solid rubber was used, for the most part, and the cars were - loaded so heavy that at the end of each trip| new springs bad to be put in most of the cars. "Our train was given the right-of- way over all other trains. This was principally because of the heavy train we hauled. -We were itted to stop only in case of necessity. The necessity cawe frequently and was caused mostly by the excessive weight on the trucks, which resulted in many bot boxes. "My train brought out the first shipment of rock and stone and stone cutters' tools. The first part of the building erected was a massive wall, over 500 feet long. It was on the nd | of this wall that the Prince of Wales laid the cornerstone. Thousands of people witnessed the laying of the stone, and I had an opportunity te shake hands with the Prince, as did many of the workmen. "The wall, when first built, was a crude affair, but after the workmen finished ling it, and fixing it up, it was one of the finest pieces of work of that kind that I bave ever seen. It was five feet high and sev: eral inches in thickness," : "The Prince of Wales at that time was about twenty years old. He was a fine looking fellow, much better looking than his brother, the Duke of Edinporough, who. visited Canada a year later. "There were no big functions for the duke. He visited about the coun try for a few months and he went away without any great fuss being made about him. He was not a very good looking man. Many of the farm- er boys were much better. "A few years ago I saw Barney Riley, the Irish ski rider from Bovey, Minn., who was born and raised here, and I thought that I was back in Ottawa at the time the duke was there. Barney and 'the duke were as much alike as any two men could be, in appearance, form, and looks." Unhealthy to Oppose Canadians. 'Mr. Philip Gibbs, Special Corres pondent, writing from the British Field Headquarters, says: "For. a variety of reasons I fancy it must be nerve-racking to be on the opposite side of Ounadians in Flanders. They are most quiet, they are most dangerous. They are not only inspired by a rest- less audacity, but they are cunning and so methodical that they will undertake what seems like a wild-| cat adventure with certain death at! the end of it and get back with hard- ly a seratch. the spirit of the trapper to the trenches, and they are very pafient in marking down their prey. % "So it was in a recent 'cutting- out' raid, when a party of them, all volunteers, "went. out one night with the astounding intention of getting | through the barbed wire outside one of the strongest German positions. For a small party to get back again from a trench full of Germans and machine-guns is not so easy as es- caping from a jungle of man-eating tigers, and was not considered part of the program of war before the Canadians gave their exhibition. It was 80 successful that General Joffre has cireulatec an account of the Canadians' exploits as a model to the French army. After taking some prisoners and killing about 30 men, they came home again with only two casualties, one caused by Hcei- dent. To men who know the condi- tions of trench warfame this exploit still seems fantastic and incredible. It was possible only becduse these Canadians BAS made sagnng of bie importante n courage , AI adapted old lessogs of Red In- dian warfare to these new conditions of modern fighting."
