thai GO years ago El Sunday wo celebrated the first Dominion Day in Canada Though only a boy we well roineinber the The Voluntcors paraded there was a Cricket Match on the Fair grounds and a Picnic in lingers woods north of the village I On July 1st British North America Act came into force Previous to hat Canada consisted of a group of small and comparatively British Colonics Nova Scotia New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island were separate and Sparsely settled colonies each upon its own local problems Upper and Lower Canada were belter settled arid more important but great NorthWest was only a vast wilderness the control of the Hudson Bay Company A few thousand miners who had been attracted to British Columbia by the discovery of gold in the led of the River in composed the far West Colony Prior to Confederation most Of the people of Canada were engaged In agriculture and lumbering The operation of a Reciprocity Treaty with the United States created a largo and lucrative trade In the products of the farm and forest Much of the grain and lumber was carried water and as a result there were many busy harbors for sailing vessels and sloamerjL on Lakes Ontario and Erie Manufacturing was confined almost entirely lo the supplying of needs and as a result every good- sized village had its grist mill planing mill wagon shop harness shop and shoe shop In the first railway in Upper Canada was operated between Toronto and Bradford Bridge called the Northern Railway and the senior Editor of the came lo Newmarket on the first pas senger train lo he operated Willi a Time Table which was handwritten However railway de velopment was quite rapid after this vefilure and by the end of over miles were in opera- lion The Grand Trunk was open from Riviere Loup to a distance of miles in In there were seven railroads in operation in Upper Canada and live in Lower Canada Following this the Government of Upper Can ada began building Colonization Flo ad giving ac cess lo parts of the country not reached by the railways and efforts were made lo induce immi grants from Europe to settle hero Government publications staled that seven million acres of crown lands were surveyed and offered for sale at from 30c to per acre Each settler had to put twelve acres under cultivation with lit four years build a log house ft- and reside on his lot until these conditions were fulfilled Fifty years ago in many parts of the country settlors were hewing out of he forest and encountering pioneer difficulties and hardships which this generation knows nothing about Even In the older and heller settled parts of Canada social life was much simpler half a century ago than it is- today There was loss difference be tween the city and country between rioti and poor Departmental stores and great industrial estab lishments had not yet concentrated business wealth and population in the cities Canadians as a rule were prosperous and had high hopes for the future of the country Immediately after Confederation the Canadian Government took slops to obtain the vast territory from the Hudson Bay Company from the Rocky Mountains which had been under heir control for about 200 years am finally purchased for one and a half million dollars all their claims to ownership and the government of district In a part of this Territory as it was called was organized into Manitoba which thus became the first new province added to the Dominion The second province to be added was British Columbia which had long been a neglected colony but through the efforts of Sir John the Canadian Government itself lo con nect Ibis Province with Eastern Canada by moans of a railway within ten years which was the origin of the Canadian Pacific Railway With the completion of this railway population poured in lo cultivate the fertile prairies and in the Dominion Government under Sir Wilfrid Laurier formed two now Provinces between Man itoba and British Columbia called Alberta and Sas katchewan thus completing the chain of Provinces from the Atlantic to the Pacific The Great War has already developed such a bond of union among all parts of the Empire that it is not too much to hope that in the near future the whole of British North America including New foundland the Bermudas and the British West Indies may be known as the Dominion of Canada The immediate cause of Confederation was the chaotic condition of the governments of Canada The census of revealed the fact that Upper Canada had a larger population than Lower Can ada and the former began to clamor for rep resentation in the Assembly The result was a deadlock a coalition government was formed and through the efforts of Sir John Mao- and Hon Geo Brown Confederation of the Provinces was secured It was a happy day for Canada and should be right royally celebrated Since outbreak of Ihe Great War Canada has made wonderful progress and development in manufacturing industries and with her immense fertile areas it does not need much prophetic vision to state that in five years after the war her population will bo nearly doubled ideals of liberty and Justice will undoubtedly attract the immigrant as no other country in the World especially since her sons given such a dem onstration of courage prowess alertness and in genuity on field of battle in France V I Corp Son of Mr and Mrs W Proctor of has been in the trenches for about a year and a half His mother got a letter from him last week in which he slates that his brother Howard at a rest camp and had two hours with Ho joined the Canadian Horse Ar tillery and was one of the picked out for the English Horse Artillery which necessitated fur ther training in England and only went to France last month Both boys arc well In a letter some lime ago Corp Proctor told of a very close call that he had one evening He Went into a dugout lo light a cig arette so that Fritz would not see him and as he stepped in he met a young fellow named from Bradford Before he even struck his match to light tins cigarette a German bomb struck his mate and he only lived minutes A- letter received from Corp Proctor written on a beautiful Mayday it am out of the lino If it were not for the constant stream of motor and wagon transport on the road in Ihe valley below and the aircraft above mostly friendly but a few odd hostile one would think they weie in good old Canada and at peace with world The letter continues I suppose you people have heard of the recent successes with satisfaction But I think you will read of some thing more or different than mere fighting before long I dont mean to say that I think the war will be finished right away- Well this life is gelling lo be quite a routine now with me any way a sort of business especial ly in defensive warfare But offensive or advancing differs slightly I have met very few of the Newmarket boys One reason is because our County Bn thats over here as a unit is not a line and are working behind some other part of line So the town casualties from recent operations shouldnt be very hea vy ooo l CANADIAN FLAG IN ENGLAND From Era July 1 Married On the Elder Mr Wal lace of Newmarket to
