DULUTH To NANAIMO.

In a very short period there will be rail
road communication between Duluth,
which is practical tide water on the Atlan-
tic side, to Nanaimo the most accessible
port and harbor on the Pacific Ocean with
in British Possessions. Railroads are al
ready projected and partially constructed
from Portland northward to Puget Sound,
a portion Of the system OF inland waters
connected with the ocean outlet afforded
through the Straits Of Juan de Fuca. If the
California and Oregon Railroad had been
completed, connecting the Central and
Southern Pacific systems with the Northern
Pacific and Canadian Pacific, ii would vir-
tually have conferred upon San Francisco
all the advantages of a Pacific terminus of
these lines. In the absence of the compile
ton of that line, the Pacific coast termini of
these great overland roads will soon place
themselves in an attitude to satisfy all the
metropolitan necessities of vast and fer
tile and, eventually to be, densely populated
country. However the construction of
these roads may affect the interests of To-
calities, their completion cannot fail to con-
fer development and augment every at
tribute of prosperity on the Pacific coast of
the American continent.

BCRRARD INLET

Owing to the difficulties above men,
toned i'll the way of navigating Fraser
river, il has been decided to carry the Cana
dian Pacific Railway on the mainland to
Point Moody, projecting into Burrard In
let. This Inlet is a broad open roadstcad
from the Straits of Georgia, Il distance OF
about thirty miles of clear open water be-
tween the mainland terminus of the Cana
dian Pacific and the harbor of Nanaimo,
the latter point being the northern termi-
nus of the railroad under consideration
TO recapitulate, the Canadian Pacific Rail
way passing through New Westminster
will terminate at Point Moody, on Burrard
Inlet, about thirty miles northeast of the
harbor of NanaimO. Steam navigation be
tween the mainland terminus of the Cana
dian Pacific and the northern terminus of
the road now to be built on Vancouver
Island will be the connecting link which
will make this detached piece of railroad
Il part Of n continuous chain from the St.
Lawrence to the harbor of Esquimalt This
connecting link is about the distance be
tween Vallejo and San Francisco.
The relation of the subsidy offered to
the magnitude of the work to be performed
cannot be estimated until experience has
developed the difficulties in the way of
construction. MeSSrS. Stanford, Cr0ckcr
and Huntington at least are experienced
rairoad-builders. They have entered into
the agreement above outlined after full ex-
animation of all the facts, and entered upon
the completion of their undertaking with
reasonable confidence that it will prove a
successful enterprise Under the terms of
the agreement, the road is to be completed
by the 10th of June, 1887. The Canadian
Pacific on the mainland, is being rapidly
pushed eastward and westward from Win
nipeg, in Manitoba.

CASH SUBSIDY.

Whereupon Commission appointed by
both Governments agreed that the Canadian
Government should subSidize a road on
Vancouver Island from ESquimalt to Ma
naimo with a cash subsidy of $3.50, GOO, and
should permit the Provincial Government
to give an additional subsidy in lands To-
Gated on the island and Immediately ton
tiguous to the line of road. The Govern
ment of Canada was to purchase the dry
dock at Esqumat for the sum of $3.50, 900,
and to complete that work as u Dominion
enterprise, and should further pay to tie
province of British Columbia whatever
amounts might have been expended by the
Provincial Government. The Provincial
Government was then to give the Govern
ment of Canada three and one-half millions
of acres of land in the Peace river district
in British Columbia, in one rectangular
block east of the Rocky mountains. rs here
tofore specified. In pursuance of the result
of this conference, the Legislative Assem-
bly, of the province of British Columbia rat
flied, by an enactment, the action of the
Commissioners, and made an appropriation
of about two millions Of acres of land on
Vancouver Island, and ceded three and
one-half millions of acres of land to the
Government of Canada, in the Peace river
district. The Government Of Canada ON its
part accepted the task of completing the
dry dock at EsquinaIt, paying $3.50 000 for
what had already been expended, and
agreed to carry forward that work to com
pietion as a Dominion work.

LANDS WITHIN THE RAILWAY BELT

The Government of Canada was TO be
bound by the agreement to offer for sale the
lands within the railway belt upon the
mainland upon liberal terms TO actual set
tiers, while the Government of British Col
umbia was to offer subsidy in lands to be
joined to the subsidy given by the Govern
ment of Canada for the immediate con-
struction of n railroad from Esquimalt to
NanaimO, which road was to be completed
by the 10th day of June, 1887. This agree
ment was to be accepted by the Province
as full settlement of all claims against the
Dominion Government on account of de-
lays in the commencement and the con-
struction of the Canadian Pacific Railway,
and the non-construction of the Esquimalt
and Nanaimo Railway. To simplify it to
its lowest terms: The Province of British
Columbia claimed to have been damaged
by the delay in the commencement and
construction of the Canadian Pacific Rail
way, and in the failure to construct the
Esquimalt and Nanaimo Railway on Van
couyer Island.

RAILROAD BUILDERS OF cALIFoRNGA.

When the railroad builders of California,
whose names are given among the parties
to the agreement, approached the subject,
they found the sum of $750,000 in coin,
and from one and half to two millions of
acres of land on Vancouver Island, offered
as subsidy to any company which would
construct a road from Esquimault to Mana
imo a distance of seventy miles. In this
land grant there is no reservation on ac-
count of mineral. The language of the
grant declaring that the grant itself in
cludcs "All coal, coal oil, ores, stone, clay,
marble, slate, mines, minerals and sub
stances whatsoever thereupon, therein, or
hereunder This language, as will be
speedily obvious, conveys everything on
the surface, under the surface, or in the
ground the employment of the words,
"thereupon, therein and hereunder"
being accepted as marvel of lucidity.
The company also has under the charter
the authority to construct vessels, steamers
and fer1yboats, and operate the same on
and over the CULTS, bays and inland waters
of British Columbia.

CANADIAN PACIFIC RAILWAY.

To those unfamiliar with the history of
the Canadian Pacific Railway it may be of
interest to state that the ti1e-water terminus
of the Canadian road was originally fixed
at New Westminster on the Fraser river
and about forty-tive miles above the mouth
of that river From New Westminster to
the delta OF Fraser river in the Straits of
Georgia. the Fraser river receives the influx
and etflux of tide. In fact that portion of
the river is more like an estuary of the
Straits of Georgia than river, rescm-
bling in some respects the Golden Gate
Unlike the latter arm of the sea, however,
Frazer river is full of islands and sandbars
"a kind of an archipelago somewhat diff
cult of navigation. Besides this, the navi-
cation OF Harrow Straits which connect
the Strait of San Juan de Fuca with the
Strait of Georgia is still more difficult.
Here another extensive archipelago is en-
countered, forming almost insurmountablc
obstacles to navigation by sailing vessels
| The Straits of San Juan de Fuca. upon
which the harbOr of EsQuimalt is situated.
constitutes a splendid harbor, opening out
to the Pacific Ocean westward without a
bar at the junction of two rivers such as
embarrass and endanger the navigation of
the mouths Of the great rivers which empty
into the sea. Esquimalt, then at the south
end OF Vancouver Island and upon the
Straits of San Juan de Fuca, is necessarily
the only practical tidc-water terminus of
the Canadian Pacific Railway

IMPORTANT ENTERPRISE.
GRATIFYING EVIDENCE OF PACIFIC
COAST PROGRESS.
The Esquimalt and Nanaimo Rail-
way Connecting Link of the
Canadian Pacific Railway.
rs. F. Bulletin. Angus, ,6. I


Charles Crocker, Esq, Vice-President of
the Central Pacific Railroad Company, re-
turned from Victoria on Monday morning
The object of Mr.. Crocker's visit to Van
couver Island was the completion of con-
tract between the Colonial authorities of
British Columbia, himself and associates
for the construction of railroad and tele-
graph line from the harbor of Esquimalt,
Victoria to Nanaimo harbor. The enter
prise was brought 10 the attention of our
California railroad builders by Robert
Dunsmuir of Nanaimo. who with his asso-
ciates, James DunSmuir and John Dryden,
had taken the preliminary steps in the
formation of company to build the road
Messrs. Dunsmuir and Dryden are very en-
terprising gentlemen, of ample means, but
in this undertaking preferred to form an
association which would make combina-
ton at once able to construct the road
within itself or to command the necessary
capital for its construction, whatever profit
or loss might attend the enterprise. They
therefore brought this to the attention of
Messrs. Stanford, Crocler and Huntington,
and the result is Il very strong and enter
priSing combination.
HISTORY OF THE ENTERPRISE.
1t appears in the history of this enter
prise that ON the Dist of August, 1888, the
Colonial Legislature passed bill entitled
An Act Relating to the Island Railway,
the Craving Dock, and Railway Lands of
the Province" This bill is prefaced by a
preamble reciting the existence of negoti-
ations which had for some time been pend
ing between the Canadian Government and
British Columbia relating to the construc-
ton of the Canadian Pacific Railway. and
reciting that for the purpose of settling all
existing disputes and difficulties between
the two Governments it had been agreed to
release certain lands on the mainland
within the Province of British Columbia
to the Government of Canada, and also to
convey to the Canadian Government three
and one-half millions of acres of land in
Peace liver district, in British Columbia,
in one rectangular block east of the Rocky
mountains, and adjoining. the northwest
territory of Canada. And the Government
of Canada on its part, after the adoption by
the Legislature of British Columbia of the
terms of the agreement, should seek the
sanction of the Canadian Government to
enable it to contribute to the construction
of a railway from Esquimalt TO Nanaimo
the sum of $500 900, and to place that
money in the hands of the authorities of
British Columbia for the purpose of subsi-
dizing a railroad line, described in the
agreement and situation on Vancouver
Island

LENGTH OF THE ROAD.

The length of this road will be about
seventy miles. The work of its construc-
ton, according TO the specifications and
standards of construction established, will
be very costly; but owing TO the value OF
the coal and timber lands granted in aid of
its construction. the exemption from taxes,
safety found in the element of private
property vested in it when completed, the
privilege of connecting it with steamers,
rights of navigation of inlet waters. BAYS
and inlets, and further, and the most i'm
portant consideration, that inevitably this
will be the link of the Canadian Pacific
Railway, affords some guarantee at least
that the undertaking i&reasonably iudicious
and will prove reasonably remunerative to
its builders.
