A G"AY GOOSE QUILI..

Last year it was the tall of a gopher. This year it is a quill pen, which with at proti-y illustrated booklet the e\'cr-wol- come Manitoba Free Press sends us with

best wishes for n Merry Christmas. The booklet. tellin that the pen was madein England from n wing feather of u Canada wild goose, taken lasi spring in‘the vicin-` ‘ity of York Factory, the historic trading post of the Hudson Bay Company, some lil() miles due north of \Vinnipeg on the Shores of Hudson Bay. Further we ure told that quill pens were in-use for sou|e_l800 years until they were superseded by steel pens. 'ihc oooklet also tells in dialect the intesst- ing Cree legend of Nilt-lla, the \\'ild loose. As' we write this with the quill pon .sent us from Prairie Land it serves

of persons still living quill pens were the only writing instruments in use in `nnndn. They were used to some extent n the oilices of tho Canadian Parliament Building after confederation. How much

may ho \vriti_cn with u single goose-quill pen is told on the front page oi an old volume on Indian wars, u Volume larger than the complete works of Shakespeare,

With one sole pen I wrote this book

Made from a grey goose quill ;

A pon it was when I it took' And it pon I leave it still.

seeking to place thc new railway station

Bll|NGT|l£ SfATl0N T0 THE PLOPLE.

Whether it is worth while for a railway

to have its tcnninal station in the heart ot

n clt-y rather than outside the city bounds or on itsmargin is vcry well shown :by the expenditure of nearly $120,000,000 by the Pennsylvania Railway to tunnel into

the centre of New York. Ortake thc case of the Canadian Northern in 'VVinnipeg, which has acquired a space more than

half a miie in length and nearly at half mile in breadth nt- thcjuuctiou of the Red

and Asslniboine rivers in the very heart* of the Prairie Capital. From this great terminal miles of tracks radiate ulong the iiver front and upon eight or more streets

running nt right angles to the river. Some of these tracks cunnectdirectly with properties where vacant lots have sold at over $1,000 in footfrontuge. See also what Ottawa has done in bringing one of its pnssenfzer stations within a stone’s throw

of the Deps_|'t|nontl1l buildings. Every- where i|\ progressive cities it is the same.

The railway stations are brought as near its posslt-le to the people.

Monday next being a public holiday,

no paper W ll be issued from this oillce.

Congratulations to Councillor Stewart

who was sworn in yesterday. The gallant Colonel wus n very useful member of tht-`

Board in past yours. '

We have to thank several contributors

for valuable articles containing thoughts' and sugrestions for thc holiday season which, very regrettably we are unable to
