Early Settlers Acquired Ground For Almost Nothingâ€"Winnipeg In the pioneer days Winnipeg land in pioneer days was the cheapest thing in the province. Early settlers acquired all they de- sired for a song. Property that sold for a few dollars, to-day is worth many thousands. A glimpse at the history of early property owners and the land they occupied is interesting. First of the pioneers who acquired real estate was Andrew McDermot, sturdy Irishman. He was a merchant farmer, horse trader and cattle dealer. He engrossed ,the freightlng business, acted as the company’s right-hand man in all contra?“ and public undertak- tings, speculfited in houses and land, :bullt mills, encouraged manufacturers, ’and later cOmmenced forming a little colony, of which he was head.

It is recorded as an event of considerable importance that in June, ’71, the postmaster “had boxes arranged in the post omce, for the use of merchants and others." The telegraph was instituted in 1871 and the rates were very high, namely, upwards of $2 for ten words to Tor- onto, yet it was greatly used. The first connection was made with the “American lines by way of Pembina. This took place on Nov. 20, 1871. The fact that in the old days there was little demand for farm products had led to non-production, and a con- sequent scarcity as soon as popula- tion increased. The necessity for shelter led to buildings being erected, but in the spring of ’71 rough lumber sold at $70 per thousand, and poor lumber it was at that; dressed lumber was $100 a thousand. Hudson Bay “Blankets” For many years the Hudson’s Bay oomDany had been the medium for 'oan'ying on the business of the coun- try. One of the most interesting fea- .tures of their monetary system was gunner money known as Hudson‘ 5 f “blankets," much larger than our mills, and like the bank notes in Brit- These were of the denominations five pounds, one pound, five shil- gs and one shilling and to Cana- ‘ 8 especially that of the smallest Ivalue was a great curiosity indeed. t wasted on dogs every day in ndon to feed ,thousands of poor ple. Big dogs costing $1.50 and .75 a week to keep are owned by ‘ ple who are helping to keep up the - rice of food. In London alone there nearly 180,000 dogs, and in Greater ndon, which includes the County of . ndon,’there are more than a quar- mof a million, all needing food every ' , all helping to keep up the price of food. There are no statistics re- ntating to cats, but it is a fair estimate to reckon that in the 1,500,000 families Mdent in London and Greater Lon- don there are at least 750,000 cats. Cats and dogs in this great area of iiuman habitation number at least 1,000,000. How much money is spent on their maintenance it is impossible to say. Bread, meat, and milk con- burned by them every day must be of considerable proportions. If out of the 750,000 cats half of them got a saucer of milk each dayâ€"a matter of a quar- ter of a pintâ€"they would lap up 12,000 gallons of milk daily, costing $6,000 ‘a day, or over $40,000 a week. These 12,000 gallons of milk would give a. pint of vital food to over 90,000 poor Children; they would ensure more thon a quart of milk each day for every hecessitous child fed by the London County Council. Wonderful Feats in the Art of Pen- manshlp In competition for a prize oflered by a paper for the best examples of microscopic writing, a reader sent in a fairly readable and exhaustive ac- count of the first voyage of Christo- pher Columbus and the discovery of America, written on a hen’s egg. An- bther competitor’s series of efforts in- cluded the Lord’s Prayer written on 5 grain of wheat split lengthwise, and the first chapter of Genesis inscribed Within a circle no bigger than a shil- ling. A French-Canadian sent in Francois Coppee’s novel of “Hen- riette,” containing over 19,000 words, written on the back of a cabinet photo- graph. On the inside of a silver watch case a girl of sixteen had en- fived 2,107 words, using a tin pla- um ne _ edle dipped in powerfu acid. A committee of six examined the various efforts through powerful mi- croscope, and eventually the prize was awarded to a man who sent in the first two sheets of a great newspaper written on a post card.
