  • The Urbanization of the Canadian Prairies, 1871-1916
    The Urbanization of the Canadian Prairies, 1871-1916 by Paul VOISEY* Canadian historians mistakenly have often suggested that the settle­ ment of the three prairie provinces was very much a rural affair. In truth, one third of the pioneers who headed West before 1916 found themselves living, not on the farm, but in the country villages, the bustling rail towns, and the fast-rising cities that sprang from the prairie. Although many of these urban places 1 were among the fastest growing cities in Canadian history, little is known about their development. Basic questions con­ cerning their founding, location, growth, size, and function remain un­ answered. An examination of these processes, however, quickly reveals that geography alone cannot explain the prairie urban pattern. The ac­ tivities of railway companies and those individuals who stood to gain most by urban growth-real estate speculators, construction contractors, mer­ chants -were equally important in determining the development of prairie urban centres. High property qualifications for public office made it easy for such individuals to dominate city hall and their collective promotional skill often shaped the destiny of their towns. Before 1870 the only commercial centres in the West were scattered Hudson's Bay Company posts. Managed by a few fur traders, they could scarcely claim urban stature and only the two largest would become im­ portant in the agricultural age: Fort Edmonton on the North Saskatchewan River had a population of about 200, while another 1,000 lived near Fort Garry (Winnipeg) at the junction of the Red and Assiniboine Rivers. 2 The early 1870's brought a trickle of settlers to the West and Winnipeg de­ veloped as an agricultural centre.

Member of the faculty of the Minnesota Experimental Station and Agricultural College. Author of standard text books on " Soils " and an acknowledged authority in agriculture. Formerly professor at the Ontario Agricultural College. The Grand Trunk Pacific is virtually a continuation of the great transcontinental line which extends from Halifax on the Atlantic to Winnipeg. Beginning, there- fore, at Winnipeg, it bears a little to the north of west to Edmonton, which it has already entered. From Ed- monton it will extend to the north and west until it reaches Prince Rupert on the Pacific. From Winnipeg to Edmonton is 793 miles. It is of the soil and agricultural conditions along this part of the road that this paper will treat. In addition to the homestead lands are millions and millions of acres that are held by companies and indi- viduals, but now thrown upon the market awaiting pur- chasers. In some instances these lands are superior in character to some of the homestead lands, but in other instances that is not true of them. Of course, those who bought them thought them better or they would not have purchased them on speculation, but in this matter their judgment was not always correct.

  • The John Snow Residence and Studio
    Historic Place: THE JOHN SNOW RESIDENCE AND STUDIO Other Names: John Snow Residence John Snow Residence/Studio Location: Calgary Built: 1912 To 1912 Designation Status: Provincial Historic Resource Date of Designation: 2003/07/21 Object Number: 4665-0841 Related Listing(s): 1 STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE Description of Historic Place: The John Snow Residence and Studio is a two- storey home located on a portion of a single lot in the Mount Royal district of southern Calgary. The building was constructed in 1912 and features a hipped roof, front verandah, and a later Maxwell Bates designed one-storey wood frame addition at the back of the house. Heritage Value: The heritage value of the John Snow Residence and Studio lies in its association with artist John H. Snow and its connection to the establishment and development of Calgary's Mount Royal district. John H. Snow is a renowned Alberta artist, famed for his modern, expressionistic oeuvre of paintings, sculptures, and lithographs. A banker by trade, Snow began his artistic career in earnest following his service as a navigator during the Second World War. Between 1946 and 1948, he studied under famed Alberta artist and architect Maxwell Bates at the Provincial Institute of Technology. In 1951, he purchased the house that now bears his name; two years later, he acquired two lithographic presses and some limestone blocks from the Western Lithographic and Printing Company and installed them in the basement. Snow often collaborated in his lithographic works with Bates, a close friend and colleague who designed the studio addition at the rear of Snow's home.

Ninety seven immigrants, the conductor and the locomotive fire­ man and, two days later, a curious onlooker, succumbed, carrying the death toll up to an even one hundred. The passengers had come from Europe on the salling vessel "Neckar", disembarked at Quebec, and were ferried to Levis where they were loaded on the ill-fated train. which consisted of two baggage cars, seven cars normally used for produce but tem­ porarily fitted up for passengers, a second-class coach and a brake van. The train was pulled by the 4-4-0 locomotiv .. "HAM", No. 168 of the G. T. R .. a product of the works of D.C.Gunn at Hamilton. Special trains had depleted the supply of engine- and train-crew at Richmond, the intermediate divisional point between Levis and Montreal, and the locomotive foreman persuaded Will­ iam Burney, a newly-promoted engine driver. to take the train to Montreal, even though he had never operated a locomotive over the section. Conductor. fireman and brakeman completed the crew. Approaching the Richelieu River bridge between St. Hilaire and Beloeil at about 1 :15 AM, the train failed to make a mandat­ ory stop at the east end of the bridge, provided for in the Company rules.
