Summarize Before 1880, Winnipeg had been a collection of ramshackle buildings, wooden sidewalks, and dusty streets. It was incorporated in 1873, but it did not appear to have a real future. Then, in 1881, word leaked out that CPR would be routed through Winnipeg. How would this development change the value of the land?
People from the East began to food in, trying to make fast money. In the next few months, 3000 land speculators hit town. They planned to buy land cheaply, hold it for a while, and sell it for a huge profit. They preyed on people who did not know how valuable their land could become.
The Metis were entitled to more than 600 000 hectares of land under the deal that brought Manitoba into Canada in 1870. Each Metis family got a coupon, called scrip, that could be exchanged for a designated amount of land. Many had never claimed their land and still possessed their scrip. Land speculators often bought up the scrip for virtually nothing. Of the 15 000 or so scrips handed to the Metis, about 12 800 ended up in the hands of speculators. What effect would this have had on Metis land ownership?
Soon Winnipeg was a bustling town. The railway made the city a gateway to the West as immigrants crowded through it on their journeys to claim a homestead. By 1900, its population was 52 000, and it was on its way to becoming an important city. In 2006 Winnipeg's population was 694 668.

                the united states presidential election of 1912 was the 32nd quadrennial presidential election, held on tuesday, november 5, 1912. the election was a rare four-way contest.

                incumbent president william howard taft was renominated by the republican party with the support of its conservative wing. after former president theodore roosevelt failed to receive the republican nomination, he called his own convention and created the progressive party (nicknamed the "bull moose party"). it nominated roosevelt and ran candidates for other offices in major states. democrat woodrow wilson was finally nominated on the 46th ballot of a contentious convention, to the support of william jennings bryan, the three-time democratic presidential candidate who still had a large and loyal following in 1912. eugene v. debs, running for a fourth time, was the nominee of the socialist party of america.

                wilson won the election, gaining a large majority in the electoral college and winning 42% of the popular vote, while roosevelt won 27%, taft 23% and debs 6%. wilson became the only elected president from the democratic party between 1892 and 1932, and the second of only two democrats to be elected president between 1860 and 1932. this was the last election in which a candidate who was not a republican or democrat came second in either the popular vote or the electoral college, and the first election in which all 48 states of the contiguous united states participated.
