Robert Lorne RIchardsou is one of
those lucky people who reached Win-
nipeg in the early eighties. The first
feint flushes of .the great dawn which

was so soon to rise on the vast un-
peopled prairies of the Great West.
were then making themselves visible
- ` laughed
to the far-sighted few who aed
to scorn the ominous predictions of
nervous stay-at-homes and struck out
towards the new lands the Canadian
Pacific Railway was bringing within
reach of the older world. There were
many optimists amongst those plucky
pioneers who turned their face from
the old homesteads and pities of the
Bast, westward to the Red. River and
the plains of Manitoba;. butnotone
who looked with more . hope and
courage to the future than the yDung;
journalist from Toronto, who landed
at what le now the third city of
Canada, in 1882.
As Mr. Ri'chardson's birth took place
in 1860 he was not Jong out of his
teens when he started for the West.
He was born at Balderson, Lanark
county, Ont., on a bright June` day
of,that year and began his career
as a newspaperman on the Montreal
`Star'' at the age of eighteen. Two
years later he went to the Toronto
'Globe' whence after a further period
of two year's he removed to Winnipeg.'
He established the Winnipeg 'Tribune'
in 1890 and •10 still editor and pro-
prietor of that progressive and in-
fluential newspaper. He spent, eight
Years In the house of Commons until
defeated through -the inevitable swing
of the political pendulum in 1904. He
is the author of two popular novels:,
`Colin of the 9th Concession', publish-
ed In 1903, and 'The Camerons of
Bruce', published in 1900.
