On
the
occasion
of
the
Fiftieth
Anniversary
of
the
driving
of
the
List
spike,
the
Canadian
Pacific
takes
pride
in
recalling
to
its
fellow
citizens
some
of
the
developments
of
the
past
half-century
which
have
placed
the
Dominion
in
the
forefront
of
the
nations.
The
story
of
Canada
and,
of
the
Canadian
Pacific,
is
written
across
the
face,
of
the
Dominion.
It
is
a
story
that
all
