Excerpt from Canada: The Western Cities, Their Borrowings and Their Assets Of its existing debentures, the only ones paying so high a rate as 5 percent, are those first issued, on April 20, 1884 (amounting to $671, 600), which mature on the April 20 next, all the subsequent issues paying either 3¿ or 4 percent., while the whole of the consolidated stock has been issued bearing a 4 percent. rate. In 1884 Winnipeg had emerged from its chrysalis stage as the Hudson Bay Company's station, Fort Garry, for the assessment records show that in the following 3 ear the population amounted to 19, 754, as compared with 1, 869 inhabitants in 1874, and 215 in 1870. And 1913 will show at least as large or, probably, a greater proportionate increase. It is a matter of common knowledge that one of the causes of this marvellous increase of population is its splendid position with regard to the wheat lands of the West.
