CARP CuLrIvATIoN.-James Carswell,
An attache of the United States Fish
Commission, arrived here on the Queen
OF the Pacific, having in charge some
1900 young carp for distribution in this
State and Washington Territory. He
left Washington January oath, with
1900 carp, from five to six mouths old,
for distribution in Texas, New Mexico,
Arizona, California, Oregon and Wash
lnRton. the fish made the journey in
common till buckets, holding about
gallon, in each of which was placed
twenty carp. They were sent out by
Professor Baird, of the U. S. Fish Com
mission. There are forty-eight appli.
Giants for the carp from the State and
twenty-five from Washington Territory.
The fish will be forwarded from here
by Wells, Fargo & Co.'S express, to all
such points as can be reached. The fish
we're seen last evening at Wells, Fargo
a Co.'S office. They are nearly three
inches in length, and were lively and
hearty looking after their long trip.
They are descendants of eight carp
brought to America in 1876 by DR.. He's
Sell, and may consequently be consid-
cred to have pedigree, but they will
never be able to rank with the salmon
and trout of this acknowledgement.

TuE CANADIAN PACIFIC.

Though the policy of the RAILROAD
magnates in the United States may be
more than usually conservative during
1888, the great trans continental corHpa-
MES Of both this country and Canada
are bound to push work with vigsr. The
construction programme OF the Canadi-
an Pacific Company has been an
nounced, which is as follows: On the
western division the main line Will be
advanced to the Rocky mountains, $50
miles from Point Indian Farm, which
construction reached in 1882, or about
$40 miles from Winnipeg. The Selkirk
branch, % miles in length, will be com-
pleted; also the branch from Emerson
to the southwestern branch of the main
line. On the eastern division the road
will be completed to point about 40
miles west of Calender, and it is likely
that the Nipissing and Algoma branch
of the Wabnlptic river, to Algoma, ITO
miles, will be completed. The line
eastward to Thunder Bay will probably
be finished to point about forty miles
east of the Nepigon river, or l05 miles
east of Prince Arthur's Landing. Work
will be begun at all available points
along the north shore of Lake Superior,
and pushed vigorously. The Canadian
Nanyacturg truthfully says that all
this work cannot be- accomplished with
out tho expenditure of vast amount of
cash, and 1t will find its way through
various channels of business in Canada.
A like view can be taken of the work
that will next season go forward on the
Northern Pacific road and its branches
on this side of the line. The American
thoroughfare IS likely to be completed
this year, and the opening up of through
traffic by this means, and the tapping
at the great northern interior, cannot
fail of having powerful effect on the
business of the country. The compile
ton of these two great northern main
lines involves the construction of nu
merous lateral branches.
