Hut they\nhave put a sizeable crack in the\nfair face of proverbial philosophy.\nProverbial phllosphy says: \"A man\ncannot lift himself hy bis boot\nstraps.\" Correct enough, as a proposition fn dynamics. Its fallacy, iu\nthe realm of financial enterprise, is\nclearly demonstrated hy Mackenzie\nand Mann. By their boot-straps\nhave they raised themselves to their /\npresent eminence.

So they\nrake in the stakes, community leadership and wealth. They did not\nprofit without sharing. It was an\nauspicious day for the country when\ntliey pooled their hands.\nMann was born at Acton, Ontario,\nof sturdy agricultural stock. He took\nhis intellectual baggage on at tlie\npublic school, from which he pulled\nbis freight as soon as he could.\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0'arming was too lackadaisical for\nhis vaulting soul. He went in for\nthe wild, adventurous, chancy life of\na lumberman. At twenty-one he\nwas a foreman. And bets arc on\nthat the men under him earned every\ncent in their pay envelopes. After\nthat he went to Winnipeg and helped\nto push the C.P.R. through to the\ncoast, -}Uilding west of Winnipeg to\nthe Selkirk.-*;. This was his true\nstarting point.

Why\nnot own, as well ns hulld?\nThe answer to ihe question was\ntho Candian Nutthim railway\u00E2\u0080\u0094a\nline built less upon right-of-way ant\ncapital Mian upon the seK-cnnfideiice,\nthe confidence ia the country and the\nconfidence-inspiring faculty of two\nmen. The seed of thr road was the\npurchase of a tooty little railway out\nwest\u00E2\u0080\u0094the \"Lake Manitoba Itailway\nand Canal Company \" Out of that\npurchase has sprung p. transcontinental thtl Is making tho CP.lt. and\nO.T.P. take notice and bustle about.\nIt wan built- In an unprecedented\nway. UaUl a very few years ago\nfew, outside those in the know, sensed what was doing. People saw \u00C2\u00BB\nnumber of short lines, apparently\nabortive, stringing across Canada,\nniori! or less parallel to lhe boundary. There was not connection between them, rail or organization.\nSome of them ol lolled unkind taunts\nfrom thu iailway-1,i,ilding critics, ns\nutterly devoid of assignable purpose.\nN'evet mind, Mackenzie nml Mann\nread the criticism, laughed in their\nsleeves aud went or. coolly building a\nfew more of tlie same kind\u00E2\u0080\u0094with\nlocal and federal subsidies and municipal bonuses enough to help the\nwork along.\nThen they began to connect up. We\nsec the purpose now and marvel that\nwe did not see it before. A few\nmore miles of steel, and to the Canadian Northern proper will he added\nthe Cananian Northern Ontario and\nthe Canadian Northern (Juebcc.\nThese, with the Duluth, Itainy River\nand Winnipeg Railway, the Halifax\nand Southwestern Railway and the\nInverness railway, will be the bedplates of a transcontinental of sorts.\nOut of pure love for the C.P.R. your\nUncle James J. Hill will make easy\nconnection facilities with his road.\nMoreover, just the other day Mackenzie and Mann went over to England\nand bought a steamship line, as un-\nflutteringly as you or we could buy a\ndrink. When the first train reaches\nthe Pacific it is safe predicting that\nthere will be a leash of transpacific\ngreyhounds awaiting ft.\nOf the two men, who must take\nthe bulk of the credit? Neither.\nKach of them is as indispensable as\nthe other. Each has his own function, however. Mackenzie is the\nwizard financier, Mann is the builder\nnnd spell-binder.\nTo build a railway in Canada\ncalls tor a double ended diplomacy.\nThe goodwill of tbe people must to-\ngamed, and the confidence of the\nmoneyed men. Mann takes care of\nthe public. He gets in touch with\nthe politician\u00E2\u0080\u0094lieg pardon, ot com si*\nmean the \"statemian.\" Before hi\nhas been with him a day he convin-\ns bim that tho charter sought is a\nthing essential to the further continuance ot life, liberty and the pursuit\nof happiness in that particular province or county. And the charter.\n1 he subsidy and the bonus are thrust\ninto his hands with entreaties to go\nahead.\nIle has onl) failed onee. That\nwas when tbe Senate threw out the\nYukon Itailway Till. The suhsidy\nwas to be given in lands. The Im-\nfiliation of the yellow journal car\ntoontst led him to picture the associate builders shovelling mountains\nof gold, \"diverted from the people's\nInheritance.'' There was outcry ami\nOtO. On the Other hand, it was\nnuile a feather in Mann's cap when\nhe won over the uncrowned king of\nBritish Columbia, am- got him\nto base an election campaign on the\nmerits of tlie c.N.ll Between\nwhiles, when no charter is to be got.\nhe wriles articles, on the Canadian\nnavy and our economic relations with\nIhe I'nited Slates\nMacki-n/ii' takes a 1 rip ovpr to\nEngland twice a vear.

Since lie left eastern provinces he has nut with a burnt-ont\ncountry almost everywhere, and at\nmost of tlie places he has visited he '\nhas had to express his sympathy I\nwith the farmers on account of the\nbad crop.\nThat afternoon the premier looked [\nover vast areas under cultivation and \\non all hands the crop was admirable.\nTbe premier could scarcely believe\nhis ejes when be saw acres which\nwill yield 35 bushels Ol wheat and\n15 bushels of oats. He turned round\nto the Hon. i\"!. P. (iraham, the minister of railways, who accompanied\nhi in in the automobile, and declared\nthat the sight was om* which did his\nheart good to see.\n\"We have even some better crops\nfurther on,\" remarked Br. Cash, a\nwell known Yorkton townsman, but\nSir Wilfrid con! I not believe that a\nbetter crop was possible and be .said\nin his characteristic good humor,\n\"Good doctor, vou are boasting.''\nIt was good to see Canada's premier in the middle of a wheat field, lie\nwas less of sir Wilfrid Laurier the\nstatesman. Been on this trip, and\nmore of Wilfrid Laurier the man. The\nresponsibilities .\u00E2\u0080\u00A2( office were forgotten, and he 'easted his eyes upon\nthe scene and away down in his\nheart of hearts there was a genuine\nthankfulness to (iod for His bounty\nin this western land. It would have\nbeen dillicult to find the premier\nmore truly happy. lie is happy\nwhen he is receiving the miiltidinnus\ncrowds which are welcoming him all\nalong the line, he is happy when he\nis receiving the i vpressions of loyalty ou every band, hut tberp is no\nmistaking tlie fact that he is the\nmost happy When he is looking over\nIhe handiwork oi nature.\nSir Wtlfrlu won his way into the\nhearts ol the people of Saskatchewan. When he appeared in the\nstreets the crowds surrounded and\nshowed the greatest eagerness to\nshake tin- band of the grand old man.\nThe whole town watched the procession of close 'innii a dozen automobiles in route lo the wheat fields,\nand sent him ofi with nn encouraging\ncheer. If they could only have seen\nhtm in the wheat fields they would\nhave seen something of the lighter\nside of the premier. He was not\nsatisfied with a cursory glance over\nthe scene. Ile wanted to Ih* in the\nvery midst of it. Stopping his automobile, he exclaimed: \"Look,\ngentlemen, that's a sight worth\ncoming from Old Quebec to see.\"\nSir Wilfrid addressed a great meeting in tin* curling rink later in the\nafternoon, rhli was his first visit\nto Saskatchewan since his visit sixteen years ago The premier was\nsupported by the Hon. Waltor Scott\npremier of Saskatchewan, and other\nprominent men 'n ihe province.\nAn address was piesented to Sir\nWilfrid on bcli.il of the town council\nand tbe board of trade. \"The wide\nwest,\" it said, \"on the threshold of\nwhich you are now standing, recog-\nni/i'S its debt to your belief in its\ngreatness. The Grand Trunk I'nclfie\nrailway, over which you wilt leave\nthe town tmnurnw, Is a single cvid-\nssjm ot your cnOdtM* in tlw yeast-\nbilities of Western Canada. We recognize your service, not only to the\nwest, hut tu tbe whole. Dominion,\nwhich is now united in sentiment.\nNo man has ever worked harder to\nunite the hearts of the various representatives of 'lie nations who are\ngathered here. Not only have you\nunited the hearts of all Canadians,\nbut you have strengthened the ties\nwhich hind us to the Mother country.\"\nlu reply Sir Wilfrid referred to the\nblending of /aces in Canada. \"In\njoining the different races, to which\nyour address refers,\" he said, \"1\nhave realized lb*' ambition of my\nlife. I cannot say yet that I have\nsucceeded in ihis task, hut 1 can sav\nit has been the aim and object of\nmy ambition aver since 1 entered public life.\"\nThe premier ol Saskatchewan, the\nHon. Walter Scott, offered Sir Wilfrid a welcome on behalf of the\nprovince. He told bim tlmt in lhat\nprovince his name was especial!}\ndear. Mr. Scott outlined the progress of Saskatchewan since Sir\nWilfrid's last visit Sixteen years ago.\n\"Then,\" he said, \"we bad 950 miles\nof railway in \he province, now we\nhave 3,500 miles. There was an absolute Innocence of any settlement iu\nthose days, hut now along every\nmile of railway, there is development, activity and prosperity. In\n1H!)0 our grain crop was three million bushels. Last year our aggregate crop was two hundred and euhi\nmillion bushel-.\nThe Hon. Oeo. 1*. Graham, minis\nter of railways spoke upon the subject of transportation which be des-\nciibed as of the greatest importance\nto the people of ihe western provinces. \"The best method,\" he said,\n\"of getting ourselves from one place\nto another, is very important, hut\nthe best, quickest and cheapest method of getting our produetl from the\nplace or production to the place of\nconsumption Is of iln- c rentes t importance, from the material standpoint, in a new country. While you\nmay think that the transportation\nfacilities of tbis country nre not as\ngood as they ought to be, I can tell\nyou that the Dominion of Canada.\nper head of population, has given\nmore aid to the railways than any\ncountry in tbr world Ter head per\npopulation tbe Dominion of Canada\nhas a grea'T mtleagfl of railwav\nthan any other Country. We have\ngiven ti:.mm,mm foi railways west\nof Lake Superior, and we have also\ngiven some -10,000,000 acres ol\nlands, but we did more, we are rapidly constructing a gre.it railwav,\nand when tin- Orand Trunk Pacific is\ncompleted wc will have about 2\u00C2\u00AB,i>nn\nmiles of railwav in Canada and\nthat dues not Include a number id\nsmall branch lines which arr belnt;\nconst meted.

Even premiers are human, and when a man bus travelled\nover more than half a continent ami\nhas been called upon lo earrv gut\nexacting duties on the way, he needs\na little relaxation. Thursday Sir\nWilfrid Laurier took a quiet spin in\nhis automobile round the country.\nIf there is one thing Sir Wilfrid\nLaurier enjoys more (ban another, it\nis to be in tlie fresh air, and when\nhe has an opportunity of getting it\nbe lakes full advantage of it. The\npremier was seen in a new role that\nafternoon, t],*\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 role of a baseball en\nthustast. It is not often that a\nwestern town can see such a distinguished, pitcher as the minister of\nrailways. I tut on Thursdaj the\nHon. Geo. P. 'iraham threw all cares\nof projected railways to the winds\nand played basenall. Such a light\nwas too much for the premier in\nmiss. As soon as he hiard that his\ncolleague was dl&Utgulshlng himself\nand making a reputation for himself\nas a baseball -layer he nipped into\nbis auto tike i young man of twenty\nMrs and hurried to the scene bf\noperations.

Laurier s ways are winning,\nand we may next hear William C.\nIves expressing in Sir Wilfrid's presence that he is prcud of his native\nQuebec fur giving sir Wilfrid such\noverwhelming mnjolfties every general election.\"\nThe foregoing, clipped from a contemporary, brings home -tp us very\nforcibly the wonder! ul hold Sir Wilfrid Laurier has gained on the Canadian people. Whilst, doubtless,\nvery few hard and fast Tories would\nipenly ,-;ive expression to such views\nas were expressed hy Mr* Staples,\non the occasion oi Sir Wilfrid's\n\isit recently to his constituency,\nyet they would he and arc, con\ncurred i.-i hy a very large number\nof the Conservative electors of Canada.

The Liberals ol\nCranbroik will meet on Kriday evening for tlw purpose of arranging details for the reception of Canada's\nforemost statesman. But, here as\nIsewhire, throughout his western\ntour, tbe welcome will\nbe by no means of a\npartisan character. It is ei-\npccied that the city council, board of\ntrade and other public bodies will\njoin with the local Liberal associa\ntion in providing a welcome, worthy\nof the .KC-ision, to the prime minis\nter of Vanada.\nTIE K-WTENAV CENTUL\n(Continued iron last \u00E2\u0096\u00A0\nk*)\nAt first it took shape in the writer's mind as nothing more ambitious\nthan a branch road from Klko to\nKort Steele. Hu' several interesting facta coming to bis knowledge\nled to an enlargement of Ute scheme\ntill it had taken Its present shape,\nwith, a little later, an extension\nfrom Golden down tne Columbia to\nthe (ireat Head, thence by Canoe\nriver to the I'pper Fraser, and from\nthat over tbe country now being\ncovered by tbe G.T.P. and on to a\nt-eriiiinuh ou tne I'acitie. It is very\ngratifying, by tbe way, to note that\nthe O.F.H. in at this moment exploring tbat route and will no doubt\nultimately lay iti rails nut only\nround '.* lie vet stoke, but northward\nand westward\u00E2\u0080\u0094now only lo share\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nat one time it might have been to\ncontrol the trade of that vast and\nrich territory. Here the side refl.-c\ntion may he permitted that our first\ntranscontinental has never seemed to\nhave full confidence iu the great resources of our province and could\nnot tie indticed to blanch out with\nfeeders aud devrlo}.nieiit roads\u00E2\u0080\u0094unless it bad actually in sight \"a sure\nthing.\" ibis iuuj have\u00E2\u0080\u0094no doubt\ndid\u00E2\u0080\u0094come from thr unfortunate (Jim\nHill called it \"political\") location of\nUs main lint- through the barrenest\nreadies ot our \"sea of mountains.\"\nThe building of the \"Crow\" line\nhas been one demonstration of Unit\nfaet; tbe occupation ol tlit Yi-l-\nlowhcad fuss by IHT new tranacon-\n1 mentals is another and very conclusive one. Hut surely 'tis belter\nthat a mistake *).< uld be repaired\nlate than never. So, not to be\nbuilding the K.C.K. on its projected\nand nature-provided route, would\nhave been a similar mistake, but, of\ncourse, in a lesser degree.\nlhe main fact above referred to\nwbicb led to the enlargement of the\noriginal conception nf tbe K. C. It.\nwas the not even yet generally\nknown one\u00E2\u0080\u0094tbat a trial shipment of\ncoal bad heen sent from Fernie to\nthe admiral of tlie Hritish Pacific\nfleet, and tbat the trial had given so\nmuch satisfaction that tbe admiral\nwished to make a contract for tbe\nsupply of all the eoal required by\nthe fleet; but the rates for a haul\nround by way of Mi Lend and Calgary to tht coast were prohibitive,\nand the proposed cm tract was abandoned It needed no special nfarcwd-\ndom to see tbat a \u00E2\u0080\u00A2valla-sons lis*\nfrom Kernie to Golden would have\nenabled the company to have accepted a most desirable and most profitable contract. Hence the larger development of the K.C.K. \"connecting\nlink\"\u00E2\u0080\u0094the predestined realization of\na new and better through route to\nthe coast\u00E2\u0080\u0094better because it will tin-\nally follow the natural and easy river-grade route through the province.\nIt did not take much persuasion to\ninterest the leading men of our town\nand a few othsts in the scheme; but\nit could never bave reached its present stage without the constant\nethical, as well as financial support,\nif a faithful few. The writer's first\ndraft of the nropnsed notice of application for a charter suggested as a\nname \"The Kort Steele Central Hail-\nways Company,\" this because natural conditions and the known topography of the district had, he\nthought, marked out Fort Steele as\na central collecting and distributing\npoint for the trade and Industry of\ncentral South Kast Kootenay. This\nnotice provided fur a railway starting at Fort Steele and running\nnorthward to Golden and southward\nto tho International boundary, with\nbranches tanplng the St. Mary's\ncountry\u00E2\u0080\u0094rich iu ore deposits\u00E2\u0080\u0094Wild\nHorse creek, Hull River und all other\nthen developing fields and finally asking fur as dost- a connection with\nCranbrook as might lie possible.\nWhen submitted to the first business\nmeeting of its supporters, some\nthought this was making too much of\nour town, was too selfish an exaltation of its position, und it was moved to change the name. Finally\nthe writer suggested as an appropriate designation for the main tine\n\"The Kootenay Central Itailway,\"\nand it was so decided.\nAt the opening of the session at\nVictoria the writer was sent down\nto pilot the measure through the\nlegislature; and he met witb the\nvery cordial support of both government and opposition. After our\nbill had passed safely through the\nrailway committee and was thus\ncertain of receiving the sanction ot\nthe house, the writer asked members\nof the government to grant our company a subsidy, seeing that the proposed line would open up to more\npopulous settlement one of tlie province's finest agricultural valleys.\nHaving to leave for Ottawa to perform a similar service there, the care\nof the bill was left to the good offices of our member, Mr. K, C,\nSmith, who not only saw it safely\nthrough its third reading but secured for us a subsidy of S4,000 per\nmile\u00E2\u0080\u0094one half as bonus the other as\na loan. This wus quite satisfactory,\nand had the writer, while in the\ncast, been informed of the fact, it\nmight not only have led to his securing further assistuuee at that\ntime from Ottawa, but to tlie actual\nconstruction of a portion of the road\ntbat year, 1B01. For, meeting casually in Toronto an old friend, a\nrailway contractor, that gentleman\nhaving a construction plant then\nidle, offered to build fifty miles of\nthe road at his own expense, provided that ou completion be could be\nassured of receiving the government\nbonuses. Here, however, was Uie\nobstacle. Mr. Hlair had declined\nto give us that session Hie usual government subsidy, and it was not then\nknown then that the provincial government had done so. Thus, then,\n(lal two Kootenay Central I.I-L\nsit ion to contract tor twice thnt\nwas one of the \"might have beens\"\nknocked out by adverse Fate,\n(teaching Ottawa only a few hours\nbefore the bill was listed to come\nbecome lhe railway committee ut\ntbe commons, tlie writer was introduced to the committee hy Mr tlat-\nliher and addressing it on tin- Importance of the road, our bill passed\nits first critical stage, und the same\nnight received in the house its third\nreading. In due course it went up\nto the senate, ami it received there\nthe same friendly support and ultimate sanction in committee and in the\nNil chamber itself.\nllie work entrusted to him being\nthus satisfactorily performed, the\nwriter was on the point ut leaving\nOttawa for home, when, at one of\nseveral interviews with Mr., now\nSenator Jaftray, he urged tlie writer\nto return with him to Toronto and\nafterwards to go to New York, in\norder to arrange with Mr. Hill to\nbuild northward from the boundary,\nunder our unhampered charter. The\nCoal company's charter, it will be\nremembered, had been granted to\nthem at Victoria only on condition\nIbat before exporting eoal or coke\nthe needs nf our home smelters\nshould first he fully supplied. The\neffectiveness of this restriction being\n;a little more than doubtful, as com-\nIing from a provincial legislature, the\ncharter wa- accepted: b;;t when pub\nj He opinion insisted ou the Ottawa\ngovernment applying like conditions\n' hi a Deuitaiea ebarter, time wac \u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00E2\u0080\u00A2\nFOR\nTHE\nBURNING\nQUESTION\nWe have a stock of regulation\nFIRE PAILS\none of which lianging full of water Inn\nconvenient place, will often prevent\nwhat might have been un expensive\ncoutlHgration.\nThen too, we have a good supply of\nSHOVELS\nAXES\nETC.\nfir fighting tire wliere no waler can\nbt had.\nLook well to your out-of-town property this\nFIERY WEATHER\nand it you ate satisfied you have ample\nprotection\u00E2\u0080\u0094well and good\u00E2\u0080\u0094if not, we\nare here to supply ymi with the above,\nai well as all other lines of\nHARDWARE\nMcCallum & Co\nThe Hardware Men\nroom for doubt tbat the operations\nof the company might be unduly\nhindered, and the bill was withdrawn\u00E2\u0080\u0094Mr. .laffray promising to\ntake over instead the K.C.It. charter\nwithout subsidy. Hut very unfortunately for us Mr. Hill wns then engaged in his titanic struggle to gain\ncontrol of the Northern Pacific nnd\nHurl ing ton roads, and could not\nspare time for the interview desired\nby Mr. Jaffray. Hence, after several weeks of irritating inaction in\nToronto and receipt- of n telegram\nfrom tbe secretary of the company,\nwhich amounted to a recall, the\nwriter left for home, entrusting to\nMr. .'affray the negotiation!* for\ntransfer of our charter. Opposed,\nhowever, hy certain ol his colleagues\non the board, Mr. ..affray's plans\nfell through. A few months Inter on\narrangement was made with Mr-\nPollen, which after long and aggravating delays, is now nhout to he\ncrowned with the success which will\nmean so much to Fort Steele und\nother towns in the valley and to the\nvalley itself throughout the whole of\nits rich and lovely expanse.\nIt should he noted thnt during the\nSession of 1002, at Victoria, the\nLoan Hill of the previous year,\ngratiting ours and other companies\nrailway subsidies, was by the machinations of .Im1 Martin, repealed, and\nthat without notice to us, so that\nthough special nets were passed at\nthe same session renewing the subsidies to others our company was\nleft without assistance, und has never since been able to secure from\nMcltride a renewal ol our subsidy. At\nOttawa nlso \"luck\" was against us.\nFollowing the advice of Mr. Hlair we\nrenewed our application for a subsidy, but owing to the coming coronation ceremonies in London, the\nsession was a short one nnd no\nrailway legislation was passed. In\n1003 the K.C.It. charter had to he\nrenewed, and the writer again visited Ottawa for that purpose. This\ntime, after a very brief interview\nwith Sir Wilfrid Laurier, he obtained\nthat statesman's promise of a\nsubsidy to our enterprise, which was\nduly granted later In the session.\nFrom that date the outlook for our\nroad became brighter, bul not always in constant and iiuilorm degree.
