The Outlook 



under which trade, industry and communication have been 

 developed throughout the ages leads to the conclusion that 

 the country may, at least, regard with feelings of profound 

 thankfulness and generous appreciation the efforts of that 

 long succession of individual pioneers, patriots and public- 

 spirited men to whose zeal, foresight and enterprise we are 

 so materially indebted for the advantages we now enjoy.
