We shall, therefore, begin at the beginning— some fifteen years ago, Those seven discouraged farmers wlio met in the little town—as it was then—of Indian Head, Saskatchewan, had not the faintest idea' that they were makingn historic move, They utterly'discouraged,andme simply to consider t question: "Shall we go back to Ontario beaten, or shall we fight this matter out?" They decided to stay - and fight. Fight what? The elevator trust, that absolutely controlled the wheat, their sole dependence. This trust paid what it pleased, took the wheat when it pleased, graded it at will, and the farmers could not get cars to ship on their own account. They were tied hand and foot, • They went to Ottawa. The Railway Commission said they must have the cars. They got them, but in a place where they could not drive to them. Three trips- to Ottawa were made be- fore it was possible for the North- West farmer to market his own grain.
