The route of the Canadian Pacific
Railroad has been changed, so that af.
ter it leaves Lake Winnepeg the road
will run northwest 900 miles to the
Athabasca River. AL. this region, it
has recently been found, is much warm
er than at Manitoba, owing to the in
fuence Of the japanese Gulf Stream,
which strikes the coast of British Co
lumbia. Even the region around the
Great Slave Lake, in so degrees north
latitude is warmer than Manitoba 500
miles farther south. The whole region
of Central British America is destined
to be great wheat country.
