INNIPEG which has become one of the leading cities of the Dominion can boast of the most rapid growth of any city in the world. Just thirty years ago the site was then bare prairie with a few rough buildings occupied by the Hudson Bay Company and a score

or so of aggressive pioneer settlers. The conditions are changed in a wonderful manner. Immense buildings of brick, stone and marble thronged with a population approaching the Hundred Thousand figure, replaces the few shanties and their Indian" and half-breed inhabitants; whilst the many lines of Railway and Electric Street Cars take the place of the groaning and

squeaking Red jRiver Carts.
