Since the birth of the Dominion in 1967, the number sef big things she has accomplished make a long list. A few of them may be briefly enainerated: The Sault Ste. Marie Canal, with the greatest single lock in the world: an irrigation dam 7,000 feet long at Bassano, Alberla; the largest Railway tunnel în America at the Rogers Pass, now near- ing completion; the largest single-span bridge in the world, new building, ad Quebec, the new $60,000,000 Welland [Canal; the great harbour works at St. John and Halifax; a railway mileage of 3.75 miles per head, coming in total ileage after the United States, Russia, Germany, and Inulia; an area equal to thirty United Kingdoʻns, eighteen Ger manys or eighteen times the size of France.
Parlaps the roost astonishing thing is that her population has not grown in proportion to the energy Canadā has dis- played. I 1887 it was 3,371,504; in 1911 it was 7,800,643; and it is now estimated at 8,075,000. At this rate of increase, at the end of her first century Canada would have
