The Oanedian We 'is the heritage of the CanadianeVeople and in some Way ang at some time we all share in the enehte thee acerue from the ownership of that Irak area, Po first and, most direct benefieiaries are those whe ace,uire a shamin t.he heritage itself, cultivate its soil, reap its crops, and take first toll out of the wealth it produces. That wealth flOWS everywhere, stine- nlating production in the °Icier parts ot the Dominion and helping to keep turning the wheels of industry and adding to the volume of our commerce. And so every Canadian, wherever his h.onie and whatever his occupation, has a pecaniary interest in the West. And besides these utilitarian inter- ests the people of Canada have an- other stake in the Weet-one that can- not be measured by dollars and eents, and fortunately so, because it is well to have some great and widespread interest not connected with material gain. This latter great emblic stake in the West ionsists of the area that have been closed to settlement and to lembering operations, and dedicat- ed to pleasure.seekers, to the weary and the ailing in searcb of rest and health, to the lover of nature, to the artist, to those who for a time would flee from. the work -a -day World and hide themselves in the forest and among the mountains. This stake con - aisle of our DominionhParhs, which, considering the Rocky Mountain re- serves alone, contain 11,656,320 acres - equal to more than one-third the total area of England. In what condition are these national playgrounds; what is being done wltb them; to what extent al! they now used; and what part will they take in. the future development of the West --these questions can be considered and to a large extent answered by gleanings from the report of the com- missioner of Dominion Parks, just at hand. Comparatively few of es can visit these great, national reserves. Per- haps the reports of the commissioner will enable us to some extent at least to visit the parks in spirit and obtain a share in what belongs to us all. A general statement. respecting .the Dominion Parks is made by the Dep- uty Minister of the Interior, who writes: "The Dominion parks, in the Rocky Mountains and at other places, are proving very popular. The num- ber of tourists resorting to the moun- tains of the Canadian West is increas- ing rapidly. And more important per- haps, is the fact that in all parts of the West the demand for out -door resorts for the convenience of our Canadian people is being made, and such resorts as have been established within forest reserves and elsewhere are proving attractive and are being greatly utilized. This is a gratifying feature, for it indicates that the pros- perity of the West is giving the peo- ple greater leisure for pleasure and recreation and that the healthful out- door influences of the woods and lakes and streams are being appre- /dated."

CANADA'S DEVELOPMENT THE SURPRISE, OF THE AGE, S:s James Grant, Discussing Canada, Makes Reference to the Remark- able Results of the Last Quarter of a Century Since the First Trans- continental Tr ni rted For the Pacific Ceast; In a speech delivered , before the University ef Edinburgh Club at a re- eent banquet, Sir James Grant, the honorary president of the organize - time outlined for the members the wonderful development of the Dom- inion of Canada. The speaker went on to say that Canada is not an an- cient country, has no tieehaeologiced records, no ancient manuscript$ or historic buildings like those of Carnae and Sandie; hewever, 1. betel the past and present', it has been honored bY a class of men possessed of the high- est intellectual ability, and contri- buted to make aur country what it is to -day. The great French nationality took a noble part in our early history. Champlain and .Caetier paddled their own canoe up the majestic St. Law- rence, and laid down the principles of civil and religious liberty we now enjoy. From that time forward, the English and Frepah 'inhabitants of Canada, British subjects at heart, worked to- gether as one, in building up and strengthening our country in every line of industry conducive to the wen fare and prosperity of our people. In a comparatively short time each pro- vince of the Dominion' was guided and directed by ince of strong me,ntal calibre, whose special endowments achieved pre-eminence in every walk of life. The province by the sea, de, rived exceptional oppoxtunities, the outcome of constant interchange of ideas with the outside' world, thus strengthening brain power and widen- ing greatly the area of observation. Confederation was grappled with iu 1864 and eompleted in 1867, stimulat- ing a degree of prosperity truly re- markable. Following in nick succes- sion, came the eonstruction of the transcontinental C. I'. R., the outcome, of the eonfidence of our people in our ability to add this important link from ocean to ocean, to the power and prestige of tbe British -Empire. Twenty-five years ago, June 27, 1886, the first transcontinental train of the 0. P. R. pulled out from Mont- real for the Pacific coast, marking the consumreation of the greatest work our people ever accomplished. Since that date, the growth and expansion of our country has been truly remark- able. Van Horne and Shaughnessy proved Empire builders beyond doubt, forged this corporation to the front, by land and sea, the pride and ad- miration of our people. Its record ful- ly justifies the name happily bestow- ed upon it "Providence Incorporated." In 1886, it had two steamers on- the Great Lakes, and now has 71 vessels on the rivers, lakes and oceans of the world, up-to-date in every partioular, to meet the requirements of the trav- eling public. Hundreds of millions of dollars have been expended, in double -tracking, loweringgrades, re- moving curves, replacing wooden nitructures by scientific steel bridges, new stations, and branch lines, to push forward vigorously the transpor- tation problem, so necessary for rapid settlement. In addition to exteneive ear works, at desirable point -so -where 'thousands are in constant enaployment, it Ilse its own telegraph and express services, and a perfect chain of palatial hotels, sanitary in every particuler, to meet the requirements of thousands now visiting Canada, to learn, the true source of our proeperity. This proof of progress, and the large area of land still owned by the eompany, is an endorsation of the C. P. R. note, which has justly placed its stock at the present high figures. The number employed on the road, fully 80,000, experts in every depart- ment, stationed in almost every quar- ter of the globe, hence the comfort and safety in operating so great a corporation, and the protection to life and property that follows. The Grand Trunk Pacific is now forging its way across the continent with remarkable rapidity to its attrac- tive harbor and terminus, Prince Ru- pert, certain to become 1 distributing °entre of supplies to an extensive and undeveloped area of country west and north, bringing into notice products - fish, Seal, iron, gold and lumber, and, still better, large and attractive aerie cultural belts, equal * the best wheat- producieg sectione under cultivation in the. 'west Already the Provinces of .Quebec and Ontario are realizing the importance of interior developroent by this road, accomplishing for previous Unknown section of 'country, what the 0.:P, R. has done in a masterly man- ner for the frontier of Canada and the great west.

Montreal Roman Catholies Are Urging the Nationalist Leader To Go Into the Federal Arena as Head of a Movement Pot Separate Schools - Manitoba insurgents Are the ime Movers, . Montreal, March 16.--T1ere is a serious movement on foot to estate. eish a pueely Catholie perty in the House of Commons with Mr. Henri Bourassa as leader as soon as he can obtain a seat, It is understood that the organizers of the recent movement in the west, which found energetic expression at a recent gathering in Manitoba Hall, Winnipeg, have communicated with the Nationalist leadee here, informing that gentleman that they count on him to lead a greater movement which should, in their opinion, start from this city, as no relief can be expeoted from the two oj4 political parties. Although the Nationalist leader has ilot yet given his answer, his frienels here believe that he will accept the tavits,tion which comes to him from to Western. Parties, and that he will drag Armand Lavergne into the con- test foe equal rights for the minority. Le Devoir deolared the other day that the future of the confederation de- pended upon the action of the Sen- ate, so it is thought that the vote in the Upper House will be the signal for Mr. Bourassa to throw down the gauntlet and declare for a Catholic party, irrespective of eonsequences and results. The western men want Bourassa and Lavergne to resign. their seats, and it is thought they expect to get Mr. Mulloy, M.P., to give up his seat for one at least of the ehampions of the altar and country. The story goes that Mr. Bourassa does not expect any eastern English-speaking Catholics will have anything to do with such a movement, which spells disruption of old party lines, and it is alsostated that the Archbishop of St. Boniface apposes the movement, although this is not confirmed, yet the Don Quixotic campaign will go ahead. Food Expert Wiley Resigns. Washington, March 16. -In a state- ment issued late yesterday at the termination of his service with the Government, Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, the pure food expert, declared he had resigned from the Department of Agriculture because almost from the beginning - he had been antagonized to the enforcement of the pure food law, and that one by one he had seen' the fundamental principles of that act either paralyzed or discredited. Dr. Wiley said that interests engagecli in the manufacture of adulterated food had made appeal after appeal to escape the rulings of his bureau, and as a result, one after another of his activities in behalf of the people had been restricted. Matters that properly should have come to the chemistry bureau, he said.; had been taken away from him. The differences had been irreconeiliable, he had lacked support, and finally had come to the conclusion that he could do more good in. the service of the people as a private citizen. Union a Failure. Mar c,h 16. -Rev. Dr. Me - K&,' Moderator Presbyterian General Assembly; and Rev. Dr. Carman, gen- eral superintendent Methodist Gens eral Conference, both now admit that the present church union movement has failed. The Presbyterians in three hundred churches have given 21,768 for union; and 10,536 against. In addition to this substantial minority, the presbyteriel are refusing to accept the basis of mei ion, because they claim it would give a greater ministerial representation to the Methodist ministers than the Pres1 byterian in the annual conferences, This is because superannuated and ministers without charges, are mei& bers of the Methodist conferences, while clergymen have to be actively engaged in the ministry to be mem., bers of a presbytery. The outcome of the church union referendum will, however, it is stated in high clerical authority, will be ari increased federation along missionary lines. Prominent Military Man Dead.

London, March 16. -All the project, .aa visits of King George and Queen Mary to foreign courts have been abandoned for this year. The change in the royal program is attributed °facially to the mat strike, but in all probability the teni sion in Anglo -German relations, and the possibility of the oteurrence of unpleasant incidents if the King and Queen appeared in Berlin, have more to do with, it.
