No corporation in Canada has Played a more important part in the | shaping of Canadian history during the last forty years than the Canad- fan Pacific Railway Company, the construction of whose system was begun thirty-eight years ago to-day. A transcontinental railway linking the Atlantic with the Pacific has en- gaged the attention of the country for nearly a century, for it was in 1829 that Mr, McTaggart, a civil en- gineer, first proposed such a high- way. In 1848 Major Carmichael sug- gested the construction of the line by convict labor, outlining a route by way of the Kicking Horse Pass, which closely approximates that fin- ally adopted. In 1851 occurred the first attempt at legislation, although Jhe bill 'introduced that year was adversely reported on by the legis- lature, the principal objection being that an adjustment of the rights and claims of the Indian tribes was a prerequisite condition. The scheme remained in a nebulous stage until intprest in it was revived by the con- struction of a railway Lonnecting San Francisco with the railway systems of the eastern United States, but even this interest was languid until the acquisition By Canada of the terri- torial rights of the Hudson's Bay Company.
