The paper, however, is not filled with figures; on the contrary, statis- tics are arranged in an interesting way to tell the story of Winnipeg’s growth. This story goes back in the year 1874 when Fort Garry was in- corporated as the City of Winnipeg with a population of a little over 3,000 and total assessment of something over $2,000,000. In 1900 the assess- ment had reached 821316.000 and three years later it had increased. by more than 50 per cent. These statements are made in the special industrial edition of the Win- nipeg Telegram, issued December 19, and every statement is backed by figures. When the new Canadian Pacific Railway yard, now in course of con- struction, are completed, Winnipeg will have the largest railway yards in the world. Winnipeg is the second largest Wheat market in America and aim: the largest in the British Empire. The increase in the Clearing House returns in Winnipeg shows the largest per cent. of increase of any City in Canada. There has been more building done in Winnipeg in 1903 than in any other city in Canada. of the great improvements which have been made in the trackage and equipment of the Grand Trunk Rail- way, On new steel bridges, suitable for carrying the largest locomotives no less than $4,000 000 hss been Spent during the last six years. A hundred and thirtytwo miles of ad- ditional side track have also been laid in Canada. so that now the Grand Trunk has five times as much double track as all the other Canadi- an roads toxether. They hate also built 345 miles of additional sidings. 11,723 new freight cars. 127 passen- ger cars. and 208 engines. at a cosc of $10,399,565), besides which a liberal expenditure has been made in station buildings, etc. Mr. Hays cites the‘ above construction works as an ex- planation for the faulty service which, he admits, has been to some extent given to the road’s patrons of late, and goes on to say that. if the Grand Trunk has been worse in this than the other lines during the pres- ent winter. it has been due to the fact that the tonnage handled is. so much greater. and that the number of trains run by it in Ontario is so much larger than upon any other system. Mr. Hays concludes his let ter by expressing the hope that with the near conclusion of the vast work of improvement. the publc will enjoy a greater measure of satisfaction with the service given than ever before.â€"Monetarv Times. We observe that. Mr. Hays. the general manager of the road, has written to the press giving an account The application of the remarks elsewhere. under the heading of transportation, may be made In the recent partial collapse of the Grand Railway service, more eSpecially on the branch lines in Ontario. That an era of presperity and extraordinary activity W83 rapidly approaching has been patent for years, and has now been actually upon us for a long time. It finds the Grand Trunk trains utterly unable to cope with the traffic oficring. its rolling stock in- sufficient. some of its locomotives leaky and powerless, its freight often weeks upon the road. and passengers hours late in making connections. Surely it would not have been deem- edzttoken ofany'great rashness on the management’s part to have taken time a little more by the forelock; and surely such "daring" would have er earnings.

In addition to this there is the regular Saturday paper fiilled as usu- al with exclusive features. These are but a few of the matters dealt with in the special edition of The Winnipeg Telegram. Its object is to show what has been done in Winnipeg and the West in the wav of developbment during the present year and in doing so it has produced a valuable and attractive souvenir of Winnipeg and gathered tOgether a fund of useful information regarding \Vestern Canada. Another article is devoted to the growth of Western Canada. It shows by official government returns that the population of the country had increased by leaps and bounds and that the acreage now under cul tivation is greatly in excess of last year. At present both the Canadian Pa- cific and the Canadain Northern Rail- ways are making extensive improve- ments and additions to their terminal facilities at Winnipeg. The former is erecting car‘ show which. all told. will give employment to nearly 10.- 000 men and will be second to none in Canada; and when the new yards are Completed they will be the larg- est railway yards in all the world; they will contain 92 miles of track and will be capable of handling an immense amount of traffic. The Canadian Northern has also planned great things for Winnipeg, and has already begun work on a large scale. What has already been done and what is contemplated is all described it the special edition of The Tale V Comparison is made in The Tale gram between Winnipeg: and Duluth Superior, and Chicago, two of the largest wheat markets in the United States. The wheat inspected at Duluth- Superior between September lst 1902 and Au est 31 1903, amount- ed to 42 406, 9238 bushels, and at Chi cago to 37 940. 953 bushels, while at Winnipeg. during the same period the amount aggregated the grand total of 51,833,000 bushels. . What is true of dwellings is also true of warehouses; only a few years ago there was not a really large warehouse in the city and to-day Winnipeg can boast of having the best warehouses of any city of 'similar size on the continent of America The bank clearing returns relate a hietory of wonderful activity in the industrial world. In 1901 the clear ing returns amounted to $134,199.48i3; in 1902 they went up to $188. 370. 003. and for the first eleven months of 1903 they aggregated $218,758 978.
