Un jour, il reçut de Winnipeg une dépêche ainsi conçue Venez dîner avec moi, demain soir, dans mon char-palais, à. Calgary. Geo. Stephen. Le P. Lacombe en croyait à peine ses yeux; car le chemin de fer, plus ou moins complété dans la prairie, n'était pas encore en opération. Mais, le lendemain, il n'y avait plus à douter: un train spécial arrivait à Calgary, après avoir franchi l'immense prairie en 32 heures.
