  • 200 Anniversary of the Ontario Legislative Library P. 28 200
    Canadian eview V olume 39, No. 3 th 200 Anniversary of the Ontario Legislative Library p. 28 2 CANADIAN PARLIAMENTARY REVIEW/FALL 2016 Manitoba’s original Mace was carved out of the hub of a Red River cart wheel by a soldier with the Wolseley Expedition Force (sent out to deal with the Riel Rebellion in 1869). This Mace was used for a period of 13 years between March 15, 1871 and March 12, 1884. In December 1873, when a fire destroyed the first home of the Legislature, the Mace was the only object to survive the flames. It remains on display in the Speaker’s office to this day. Manitoba’s current gold-plated Mace debuted in 1884. Standing five feet tall and weighing 28 pounds, it repeats themes found on the original Mace. The head of the current Mace displays four emblems: the Rose, the Thistle, the Harp, and the Fleur-de-lis. These same emblems are found engraved on the staff of the Mace, with the exception of an Irish Shamrock replacing the Harp. On the top, a crown symbolizes the Monarch, while four beavers represent the province’s place as part of Canada. Finally, an orb and a cross represent the spiritual and religious aspects of Manitoba life. This Mace was made to celebrate the opening of the second Legislative building. The initials V.R., representing the reigning Monarch Queen Victoria, are engraved on its head. The Table Officers have a tradition of rubbing various symbols on the Mace with their robe sleeves while waiting for the Speaker’s Parade to start, in order to summon good luck for the sitting day.

  • History of North Dakota Chapter 6
    The Beginnings of Settlements 109 CHAPTER 6 The Beginnings of Settlement THE FIRST PORTION OF NORTH DAKOTA to be settled was the valley of the Red River of the North. Except for the Selkirk colonists and the metis about Pembina, agricultural settlement came with the advance of the American frontier. When restless farmers, seeking cheap land, had taken over southern Minnesota, they turned next to the fertile lands of the Red River Valley. Their coming was stimulated by the opening of a new transportation system. Remoteness was a crucial problem at the Selkirk settlement. Its people, métis and white, wanted easy access to outside markets. At first they were supplied by way of Hudson Bay, but that was costly and the Hudson's Bay Company itself sought a cheaper route. St. Paul, more accessible than the Bay, wanted to make the Selkirk colony its commercial hinterland. When the cheaper route to the Selkirk settlement by way of St. Paul won out over the more costly one by way of the Bay, the valley of the Red River became a trade route. Cart trails, the steamboat line, and then the railroad ran through it. These opened the portion of the valley south of the international boundary and brought in settlers. The process advanced in three steps. The first as the growth of the metis settlement at Pembina and St. Joseph. There the metis had freer access both to St. Paul and to the buffalo herds on the American side of the boundary. The Pembina-St. Joseph settlement was also an American 110 History of North Dakota gateway to the Selkirk colony to the north.
