What A Headache! THE CHRONICLE The promise of the Canadian Pacific not only brought British Columbia into Confederation, and gave Canada a window on the Pacific; but the build- ing 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 49th parallel. The ties of sentiment were thus strengthened by the economic link of steel. Fifty years ago it was by no means certain that the territories between Lake Superior and the Rockies would not pass into the hands of the United States. The 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 political absorp- tion seemed likely to follow American economic penetration. The history of the Canadian Pacific Railway is the history of Greater Canada. When it was first proposed there were only four provinces in Confederation, Ontario, Quebec, New 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 of railway. At that time Manitoba was a mere postage stamp in dimensions, and the regions between it and the Rockies were unorganized territory. On November 7th, 1885 at Cragellachie 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 the history of Canada, but of 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 1869 the east coast of the United States was Connected with San Francisco by rail, and several other such connections haw been added, still even now no single 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 Empire in that the Canadian Pacific provided a short cut from Britain to the Orient. As Sir Charles Tupper in his Reminiscences has pointed out, it brought Yokohama three weeks nearer to London than it was by the Suez Canal. However, it was not until with the incorporation of the Grand Trunk Railway in 1852 that the railway era in Canada really began. While a beginning had been made in ‘~1837, still during the next fifteen years only 50 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 in Ontario. The next project of importance was the building of the Intercolonial, which was begun in 1868, and completed in 1876. This gave 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 of a railway to connect Ontario and Quebec with the Pacific Coast culminated in the incorporation of the Canadian Pacific Railway. The locomotive engine made its first appearance in Canada in 1837 on the Champlain and St. Lawrence Railroad. This road was only 16 miles long, and ran between the town of La Prairie on the 'St. Lawrence River and St. John’s on the Richelieu. This railway was opened in 1836, being Operated by horses during the first year. Looking back over the events of the intervening century it will readily be agreed that the introduction of the locomotive was one of the most importfint events in modern history. It has enriched the life of the Old World by delivering to it at low cost the products of the ends of the earth; while it has brought within the reach of the pioneer on the frontiers of civilization highly finished products which can be developed only where a numerous pepulation makes possible a minute division of labor. It has given the settler in Noahern Alberta, over 5,000 miles distant from London, a market in that greafimetropolis just as certain as that enjoyed by the English farmer. It has also made the same settler as much a customer of London as are the pe0ple of near-by countries. W0 events make 1925 notable in the annals of rail transportation. It marks the centenary of the locomotive engine and the fortieth anniver- sary of the completion of Canada's first transcontinental, the Canadian Pacific Railway’s main line from Montreal to Vancouver. The first opened a new chapter in the history of the world; the second a new chapter in the history of Canada.
