The King had been strongly urged to ent this visit out of his accession programme. Events had occurred which made this course extremely advisable.

From Stettler te Lacombe, from Camrose to Wet- askiwin other copper circuits were put in last-season. A start has also been made on such a line over the new .P.R. branch from Lethbridge to -Alderside; When the construction season came to an end there still remained to be closed in the spring, a gap of 40 miles between Carman- gay and Vulcan. 5 A number of new iron lines for long dis- tance transmission have been put in. Of these the principal are between Calgary and Strathmore, between Riviere Qui Barre by way of Sion to the present terminus of the system-of Belvedere, and the additional cireuit between Edmonton and.

Not those in positions of authority had any idea of the maguittde of the-power he would wield. The actual capital of the.empire was lifted a scene of tradition, yet dissent,-and carrie jinto the ancient seat of native rulers The machinery which guides that great and mysterious land was revolutionized. The mammoth task involving the thought and technical administration of consummate genius was effected in some*parts where hostility held sway, completely, bloodlessly, and for all time. It must be regarded as one-of the significant events of the times. The closing act of the great journey was sugge: the British Royal house. It was the Jes- patch of of native troops to Persia to pro- tect British interests; It was technical, et momentous. No royal command at the moment could have secured so warm a nat- ive endorsation. It was a stroke of gen- Tus.
