The Canadian Pacifc,s Coup.

The Canadian Pacific opened quite a
| the emigrant rates so fearfully from Montreal
to Wfnnepeg. The reason why that road
made that slashing cut was, as has already
been explained for the purpose of inducing
emigrants to go out on the line of the Cana
dian Pacific to locate. That road has cost a
great deal Of money. 1t is too expensive a
piece OF work for any human being to own,
and is badly located, being in region that
gives no chance for the husbandman to
gather and ship his crops. The consequence
is the government has had to
advance immense sums of money to complete
it, and therefore desires to fill up the terri
| tory with people, the idea being to get back
some OF the money it has put into the struct-
ure. The terrible cut made by the Canadian
road has compelled the American roads to
make similar reductions.

This road has commenced with a slashing
cut. On March 18th it will

with similar mileage from Chicago to central
and southern Dakota points the Manitoba
| road now publish less similar rate for sim
| liar distances, this taken in connection
with the reduction in the prices of land and
the greater latitude allowed for articles to be
| loaded under the head of emigrants nova
bles shows determined effort on the part of
| the road to make great inducements for i'm
| mediate settlement
