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they were superseded by steel pens.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.

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
columns.
