CHICAGO, April IA Times Ottawa
special says that the government has
announced its policy respecting the
Pacific Railway which is to ignore the
ten years limit and to build it as rapidly
as the circumstances of the country will
permit. The line has been located from
the Lake Of the Woods across Red river
via Fort Petty and Edmonton, through
the Casper House pass to Fort George
in British Columbia. The difficulty is
to decide on the route from St. George
to the Pacific Coast, 800 miles in length.
The Frazer river route has ben aban.
doned as impracticable. Either Butte
Inlet, $50 miles. or more likely, Dean
Channel. $50 miles north of Victoria on
the Pacific Coast, will be adopted as the
western end. Ateastern end it is not at all
probable any attempt will be made to
construct the section from Lake Nepipon
north OF Lake Superior and Lake Huron

may be looked on as practically aband-
oned unless change OF government
takes place at the next general election
in two years from now.
