CATALINA 'WAS FIRST RAIL ROAD IN CANADA 'LINE WITH WOODEN KAILS CAItUIED ll()Kl:s INTO WINNIPEG WINMPEO. Jan. 17. The first railway ln Canada was operated In the West, ac-cording to H. J. Symington, K.C who In a remlriwtent address before the Win-j nlpeg Caledonian Cluby reviewed the development of railway transportation in I the Dominion. The road waa not a steam one, but worked on the rati principle of the present day system. Wooden track were employed and the coaches hauled by oxen or human power. The line was con- constructed by the Hudson'. Bay Com pany from Lake Winnipeg to the lower of the South Saskatchewan River. It was used by the company to avoid Grand Rapids en route to the Hudson Bay. which was the port for the company's merchant vessels from England. The first steam driven locomotive was tested over the-' Champlaln-St. Lawrence line and the experiment was made at night In case some person,! might object to It as dangerous, Mr. Symington Mid. Relating the story of the establishment of locomotive transportation In the United State, the speaker stated that In Carolina the law' necessitated that cotton be piled against the rear ot the engine to protect the passengers In the cars behind In case the boiler exploded. This legislation had been enforced after a negro engineer, who took dislike to the hissing of the steam through thft safety outlet sat on the valve to stop It. The boiler exploded and the train wrecked. As In England, public opinion had been against the new invention on wheels, and one Instance was cited by Mr. Symington where a Oerman doctor maintained that If cowa were allowed to graze near the tracka, the fume frorr the engine would turn their milk aoui Railway transportation had been established only after a great struggle, but history showed thst the development ot a country or Its people, went with It transportation.
