When he went "to Winnipeg there was only a population of 20,000 while today there is 300,000. He was there when the last spike in the c. P. n. was driven and witnessed the first train passing over the railway with Sir John and Lady MacDonald on the engine, Sir John's locks streaming in the breeu. He visited Calgary at that time when there were only three houses, whereas today it has a population of 15,000. Notwith- standing the world-wide depression great optimism prevails in the West, and it is this spirit of enthu- siasm and exp ‘ “ that enables the Prairie Provinces to progress in the way they do. Unfortunately there has been a visitation of grass- hoppers, but the destruction is not to be comp Cu to what occurred under a previous visitation when they stripped every green blade and left nothing for the inhabitants to live on during the Winter but rab- bits. The autherities have been able to stop the progre of the plague on the present occasion by the use of bran, sawdust and acid. Mr. McGougan is enjoying im- mensely his visit here where on all sides he sees evidence of prosperity and well being. Mr. McGougan is very proud of the International Peace Garden being instituted partly in Manitoba, and partly in North Dakota, an area of approx- imately 3,000 acres, having been presented by the respective govem- ments for the purpose. There will be displayed in it the flags of both countries U0 it. long and 500 ft wide, composed of colored flowers. while the letters, "The Internation- al Peace Garden," will be of tiles in royal deep purple each 25 ft. long and 12 ft. wide. The centre piece of the garden will consist oi eight large circles symbolizing quietness, unity, honor, simplicity, happiness. faith, trust and hope. There will be IOUIJIOIOS‘ sanctuaries, besides conservatories, vegetable and small fruit gardens, rose garden, wild woodland gardens and a thousand- and-ene interesting ‘eatures pro- posed for this wonde-ful memorial, the designer.

A service in memory of the Scot- tish pioneers who founded homes in Prince Edward Island during the csrly years oi the nineteenth century was held recently at Lit- tle Sands Cemetery, selected by Duncan Currie as a burying ground in 11132.

His selection of the bury- ing ground was made 1~~ "on an oc- casion when he was in the forest looking for a cow which had stray- ed away from his small clearings. Corning to this open green space in the woods the inspiration came to him that he would like to be buried there. On going home he informed his young wife of his choice." Shortly afterwards Currie wcnt to the lumberwoocis in Miramichi, N. B., only to return to the Island to recover from injuries he had re- ceived from a heavy hand spike. He died in Charlottetown, January 22, 1832, and his body was brought to Little Sands and buried in his chosen cemetery. "For many years the cemetery was controlled by a few trustees. In 1915 an additional acre was bought and the cemetery was form- ed into the Little Sands Cemetery Company and incorporated by act oi the provincial legislature. It is now controlled by a board of seven trustees elected anually. All the early settlers did not use this cem- etery to bury their dead, but a very large number did and during the past one hundred years many found it their last resting place." The thriftiness oi the Island pen- ple of today is an inheritance from these Scottish pioneers. "The early Scotch settlers," the sketch con- tinued, "were a most industrious people. All day they would clear the forest and work to raise a small "OD. At night they would take their small boats, go out and set their nets o. short distance from the shore to get herring. They would then go out further to sea to catch cod, hake and mackerel to provide food for their families. In this respect they were more for- tunate than the early settlers who had settled inland. They were a most social and neighborly people, mlmy are the stories told of the assistance they gave one another at their grain cutting frolics, and 85119018111’ in their well known thickening frolics where men and women would gather at a home in the evening to prepare the home- spun cloth for clothing for the family.
