Omly the Beginning of Things in the West--Red River Navigable for 300 Miles--The Saskatchewan to be Made Serviceable. The St. Andrew's locks, in the Hed River, were formally opened a few days ago and Sir Wilind Laurier was the principal speaker. He said : "I have the testimony of enginéers that this 1s one of the finest works of as character to be found om the American continent, not to speak of the old world, 1 also offer my. con- gratulations. to the city of Winnipeg that wt last a long felt want bas been fulfilled, The province of Mani- toba has been represented in the house of commons for more than forty years 1 have been there myself for thirty six years, and during these thirty-six years not one session has passed but 1 have heard of the lock to be built at the St, Andrew's rapids of the Red river.

Their days wees the days of primitive --na- vigation. When they came to this rapid they had to unload their ca noes, put the canoe on ther heads and take it over to the other side of the rapids to get clear water, but to- day you can take your boats with a draught of me feet of water and a clear space of navigation of 300 miles before you. This is some achieve ment. If is something of which we have reason to be proud. But, sir, it is mot all. It is only the begin ning of what is to be done, It only the commencement of what i before us. We have opened up Red river up to Lake Winnipeg, and it] now remains for my friend. Dr, Pugs-| ley, to open the Saskatchewan river from Edmonton to Winnipeg. | (Cheers.) "I am glad to say that already ay friend, the minister of public works, is already at this work. He has en- gineers in the field: already surveying the ~ Saskatchewan river, and before many years are over I hold that we chall witness such a thing as has been witnessed to-day--that is to say the opening to navigation of the Saskatchewan river up to the weily of Winnipeg and if God spares me and if the grace of God and the will | of the people keeps me where I aml I am sure 1 shall see the day when a barge laden with coal at Edmonton, nay, at the foot of the Rocky moun- tains, will be unloaded at Winnipeg without breaking bulk on way. "Do not tell me that this is possible... It ie not impossible. Ove day the great Napoleon gave am or- der to his general, and the general answered : 'Sir, 1 cannot do that; it is impossible." 'Impossible,' said the great Napoleon, 'the word umpossible is not to be found in'the French dic tionary." And I say," continued Sir Wilfrid, "the word impossible is not to be found in the language of the west. (Cheers,) Therefore we shall accomplish this.
