few hundred thousand here, a few million there. Manitoba’s PC A government is rightly or wrongly getting plenty of attention for its trim- ming of the health-care and education systems. But it’s time for this govern- ment to start saving some real money. The Red River Basin Commission recently held meetings to mark the 20th anniversary of the 1997 “Flood of John Morriss the Century,” and the presentations reminded of just how traumatic and expensive it was. They outlined some of the steps that have been taken to reduce future damage such as a bigger floodway and higher dikes, but emphasized that there’s still a big portion of the strategy that hasn’t been addressed — reducing or preventing the floods in the first place. The 2011 flood in western Manitoba cost an estimated $1 billion, and the 2014 version another $250 million, costs that dwarf, for example, the $6.5 million that Education Minister Short lines get short shrift Ian Wishart said would be saved by cancelling plans to build two school gyms in Winnipeg.

CONNECTING RURAL FAMILIES

Beef rings speak volumes of local history These early informal co-operatives kept beef on the table in the warm summer months before refrigeration

he recorded history of the settling of Western T Canada is a sketchy affair. I am not referring to history as we ordinarily think of it, such as treaties, bat- tles, or political decisions, but rather the histories of fami- lies, communities, and the evolution of a society largely cast upon their own devices in what was a rather forbidding and harsh environment. In the community in which I grew up, there were those, like my father, who came to Canada when he was 16, with neither education nor skills. There were those who came from upper-class back- grounds, with education but no skills. And there were those who had both skills and edu- cation, but little scope to exer- cise either one. What there was in abun- dance, was land, easily obtained, but challenging to make a living from, and an even greater challenge was to survive until the land was brought into production.

This Old Elevator

n the 1950s, there were over 700 grain elevators in Manitoba. Today, there are fewer than 200. You can help to preserve the legacy of these I disappearing “Prairie sentinels.” The Manitoba Historical Society (MHS) is gathering information about all elevators that ever stood in Manitoba, regardless of their present status. Collaborating with the Manitoba Co-operator it is supply- ing these images of a grain elevator each week in hopes readers will be able to tell the society more about it, or any other elevator they know of. MHS Gordon Goldsborough webmaster and Journal editor has devel- oped a website to post your replies to a series of questions about eleva- tors. The MHS is interested in all grain elevators that have served the farm community. Your contributions will help gather historical information such as present status of elevators, names of companies, owners and agents, rail lines, year elevators were built — and dates when they were torn down (if applicable). There is room on the website to post personal recollections and stories related to grain elevators. The MHS presently also has only a partial list of all elevators that have been demolished. You can help by updating that list if you know of one not included on that list. Your contributions are greatly appreciated and will help the MHS develop a comprehensive, searchable database to preserve the farm community's collective knowledge of what was once a vast network of grain elevators across Manitoba. Please contribute to This Old Grain Elevator website at: http://www. mhs.mb.ca/elevators. You will receive a response, by email or phone call, confirming that your submission was received. A wooden elevator at Holland was built in 1927 by a local co-operative working with Manitoba Pool Elevators. Its modest 50,000-bushel Goldsborough is interested in hearing all sorts of experiences capacity was enlarged with a squat 75,000-bushel balloon annex in 1952 and a taller 85,000-bushel crib annex in 1958. The elevator about the elevators — funny, sad, or anything in between. Readers was renovated thoroughly in 1982 and the balloon annex was removed around 1994.
