In 1867 Winnipas was nothing but a straggling line of small buildings, nearly all of wooden construction, strung along what is now . Main Street. Its fame rested then only upon the fact that it was @till an important centre of the fur trade. _ Probably no ome, standing then at he corner of what is now Main Street and Portage avenue could have imagined, no matter how vivild his imagination, that sixty years later Winnipeg would be a city of 200,000 with public buildings, shops, indusâ€" *rial establishments _ and . comfortâ€" able home sretching out in every diâ€" rection over what was then open prairie, a At the time of Confederation Edâ€" monton was stlll a trading post of the Mudson‘s Bay Company and nothing more; Vicutia was a very small town, lifted into temporary . and feverish activity a few years before by the famous gold rush; New Westminster was a hamlet; Prince Albert had just been fornded. The great city of Vanâ€" couver was still a dream of the fuâ€" ture; so were Calzary and Regina and Easkatoon, . Nelson, and Moose Jaw and Rupert and Dawson City. In fact no more striking evidence can be found of the growth of (‘nmlla‘ since Confederation than ahe contrast between Its towns as they were in 1867 and as they are toâ€"day with their Industrlal, commercial and soâ€" clal developments, their fine public buildings, wellâ€"paved streets, wonderâ€" ful means of transportation, wellâ€" equipped and efMcient public schools and the innumerable modern comâ€" forts and conveniences, wllq'r--uppl_v. electric light, telephones, stre t railâ€" ways and so forth, that have become so much a matter of course that few of us ever stop to consider that our forefathers in 1867 not only had to do without them, but in many . caser would have thought anyone mad who suggested the mere possibility of such fantastic â€" and â€" improbable n:'ontr.v- ances. tE f Obviously Quebec, with its long hisâ€" tory, counts several cities that were already ancientâ€"once more from a New .
