THE â€" PORCUPINE ADVANCE ENGLISH VICAR‘S IDEAL PROGRAMME FOR SUNDAY Columns of comment imight be written on the following clipping from ‘‘‘The News of T‘he Wonld,"‘ as handâ€" ed this week to The Advanes by a reader of this paper. But after all comment, there does not seem to be much that could be added to or taken away from the summary of opinion in the last two paragraphs, brief and pointed:â€" * The ideal way of spending Sunday is described by the Rev. Bruce Cornâ€" ford, late chairman of the Portsmouth Football Club, and vicar of St. Matâ€" thew‘s, Southsea, in his parish magaâ€" zine. e This is this programme: ‘‘7 or 8 a.m. â€"Ho‘y Communion. 9 am.â€"Breakâ€" fast. 11 a.m.â€"Morning _ worship,. 12.30 p.m. Light lunch. _ 1.30â€"3.00 Above is an unknown artist‘s conception of a test of speed on the Bailtimore and Ohio Railway in 1880, between a horseâ€"drawn car and Peter Cooper‘s diminutive locomotive "FTom Thum»‘".

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 conâ€" 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. The promise of the Canadian Pacific not only brought British Columbia into C@nfederation, and gave Canada a window on the Pacific; but the buildâ€" ing of it, by establishing direct and quick communication between the éast 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 absorpâ€" on seemed likely to follow American economic penetration. in 1872, and use representing the Canadian Parcifie On November 7th, 1885 at Cragellachis in Eagle Pass, a gorge in the Gold Range, British Columbia, Sir Donald A. Smith, afterwards Lord Strathâ€" 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 have 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 7Ith 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.

On account of the fact that he was known in the Camp, having spent some time here, ‘and also because Messrs Strangis and Fera, of South Porcupine, have been among the Crown witnesses in the case against him, there has been special interest in the trial of John Trott, last week, at Welland, in connection with the death of Police Officer _ Truman at Thorold over two years ago. The outcome of this last trial is sumâ€" marized by the, following despatch dated from Welland on Feb. 25th. :â€" ©Charged with the murder of Polâ€" ice Constable Joseph Truman at Thoâ€" rold in the early hours of Sunday morning, December 22, 1922, John Trott was found guilty of manslaughâ€" Coincident with the driving of the last spike at Craigellachie the company launched out as a promoter of foreign trade and transoceanic travel. In this department not only has it been by far the most important factor in Canada, but one of the most important within the British Empire, which is saying a great deal, when it is recalled that the latter is the greatest commercial unit that the world has ever seen. Within less than nine months after this spike had been driven there arrived at Port Moody, the then terminus of the Pacific, a brig with the first cargo from Japan for the railway. That little brig the "W. B. Flint" of 800 tons, has grown into a great fleet of over 400,000 tons, sailing on two oceans, and linking Europe, America, Asia, and Oceania. In 1887 a regular transâ€"Pacific service was established, and in 1902 a similar service was launched on the Atlantic. Begun originally as a feeder to the freight department of the railway, the passenger feature of these steamship services has now become of chief importance. As an evidence of how the transâ€"Pacific trade has grown it may be said that in 1885 Canada sold to China only $5,872 worth of products and to. Japan only $21,780 worth. whereas during the 12 months endin: October, 1924, her sales to China were $14,612,482 and to Japan $26,870,08" The driving of the last spike at Craigellachie also marked the openinsg by the company of the most aggressive and sustained immigration and colonization campaign that Canada has witnessed. From that time to the present the company has spent nearly $70,000,000 on its immigration and colonization activities. And it got the immigrants too. During the years preceding the incorporating of the company immigrants were coming to Canada at the rate of only 36,000 a year. This was a very light inflow, for away back in 1832 as many as 52,000 were received; but during the period 1881â€"91 immigration was very nearly trebled; that is it came at the rate of 92,000 a year. Indeed, during the last two decades of the last century th Government seems to have left immigration pretty much to the company, for during the 1882â€"1902 period; the total expenditure on immigration was only $5,475,000, as compared with an appropriation of $3,400,000 this year. Through the company‘s agencies have come the greater proportion of th: over 5,000,000 immigrants received during the last 40 years. It is with the development of Western Canada that the fortunes of the Canadian Pacific have been indissolubly linked. As it has exparded the West has grown. In 1885 there were hardly more than 180,000 people in the whole country west of the Great Lakes. As a result of the Riel Rebellion the country was also in a state of utter confusion. Still the year 1885 marks the real beginning of the period of western development. The country continued its policy of aggressive construction by adding feeders to its main line. This encouraged settlement, for settlers felt themselves secure as long as they were not too far from the railway. Note how the population on the plains began to increase. In 1885, when there were not more than 1,000 miles of railway there were only 136,000 people in that vast territory between Winnipeg and Calgary and Eamonton, oneâ€"half of whom were located in Manitoba. Within the next 20 years, the prairie provinces, with about 4,500 miles of railway, had a population of 800,000. By 1923 these provinces had 20,000 miles of line, of which 8,500 belonged to the Canadian Pacific, and their population was 2,000,000. ter and was given‘ a lifé sentence in Kingston Penitentiary by Mr. Justice Logie at the Assizes here late yesterâ€" day afternoon. In passing sentence His Lordship informed Trott that the jury had taken a merciful view of the case in that he was only found guilty of manslaughter. The same evidence would have fully justifiel a verdict of murder. The jury was four hours in arriving at their verdict, which was received by the crowded court in siâ€" lence following the Judge‘s admoniâ€" tion that he would place any one unâ€" der arrest who made the least noise. The verdict came as a complete surâ€" prise to Trott, who was convinced that he would be given hi freedom, having made arrangements to accomâ€" pany his wife home toâ€"night to Niaâ€" gara Falls, N. Y. Trott received his life sentence with calm composure.‘"‘ For Steamship Travel Information Phone 17. Box 70. Room 15, Reed, Block Timmins.
