The Dunlop family came to Manitoba in 1871 and located in Winnipeg. Mr. Dunlop on his arrival entered the printing office of Cunningham and Caldwell, the pioneer publishers of the west, who at that time owned the weekly Manitoban. He served three years apprenticeship and in 1875 was selected as foreman of the Free Press fob department, holding that position until 1882. That year was the year of the "boom" when land values soared.

All over, western Canada paper railways were projected, but the only Tine certain of construction was the Canadian Pacific. According to surveys it was to take a northerly route through the Yellowhead Pass, the principal point in the foothill coun-' try being Edmonton, which bid fair to becoming a second prairie metropolis.

JONES, MARSHAL, NOW ARRANGING FOR SUCCESS OF UNDERTAKING Oa October 9, 1871, Mrs. OLearys cow kicked over the lantern which started the Chicago fire. The entire city was destroyed in that conflagration of almoBt 60 years ago, 200 persons losing their lives. Since 1871 annual fire losses on the continent have been increasing until in 1929, the property loss In Canada alone amounted $47,499,746, while 49 men, 65 women and 121 children 233 persons altogether were burned to death.

Of ail fires resulting from carelessness with electricity; 87 percent are caused by lack of car la the use of electric flatirons. Out of 85,990 fires in Canada, 22,461 occurred in residences, Mr. Jones points out, the distressing feature being that with a litU care moat of them were preventable. It should be understood, he says, that insurance companies do not pay fir tosses or the coat of extinguishing fires.

The public pays the enure coat, and further than that, to a certain extent for losses which may occur in tne future. For many years people believed fires were inevitable and iitUa, if any, consistent effort waa made to prevent them. New York, for instance, only a few decades ego, relied on volunteer fire companies. But thso men turned out only when a fire waa in progress. Fir prevention was given little attention.
