Among the applicants that found favor with
Mr. Hendricks, and were to have been in

four years, was Joe Van Prague, who is
said to have been promised the appointment
of custodian of coins. A resident of Plu

THE CANADIAN PACIFIC.
SAN Francisco, June 2l.-Speaking of
the near completion of the Canadian Pacific
railroad, the Call says: ''It proposes to
cary emigrants from Halifax on the Allan
tic, to Port Moody on the Pacific, for Sl5.
This is the lowest emmigrant transcontinen-
tai rate ever offered. Further, it has fixed
S25 as immigrant faie from Liverpool to the
Pacific ocean. No other overland route and

gers for this sum from Europe across the
American continent. Little has been said
of the Canadian Pacific in America. but ali

fallen thick as December snow flakes. 1t is
stated that the lie traverses rich sgricul-

operation of the Canadian Pacific will ex-

overland roads. In the first place it will
attempt to direct the stream of immigration

On American roads. The Canadian Pacific
will also enter the race for the trade of the
Orient. A gentleman connected with the
Canadian Pacific said few days ago that a
fist lie of steamers would be put on be-
tween Its western terminus and China and
Japan. He said that botn the land and the
sell route would be shorter than those by
the southern lines For this reason it is
expected that the Canadian Pacific will be
an active competitor for Pacific coast trade,
