General Manager Van Horne, General
| Superintendent Egan of the eastern division
and General Freight Agent Kerr Of Wlnni-
peg of the Canadian Pacific line were in
the city yesterday. Mr.. Van Horne came
direct from Montreal to make his semi-an-
nual inspection trip of the line, while Mr.
! Egan and Mr.. Kerr came down from Winni-
peg to see Mr.. Van Horne in case he was
called back to Montreal again, as he was on
his previous visit to the Northwest.
| When interviewed Mr.. Van Horne
spoke quite favorably about the condition of
the road, and said that the prospects for
| lively business both in passenger and freight
we're favorable. From information received
! bv the company from Great Britain. there
viii be a large increase in emigration over
other years, and the emigrants will be of the
| better class who will take up homesteads in
| the Manitoba province, The company will
| not only carry passengers for Manitoba, bnt
will compete for Minnesota and Dakota busi-
ness by their Chicago line. Business will
also be carried on by the Canadian Pacific
/ line OF steamers, the finest on the
/ lakes, from Port Arthur to Owen Sound.
The company has made no arrangements
with any of the ocean steamers yet to trans
/ port or do business in connection with the
/ line from Europe 10 Montreal. but on the
western coast the Canadian Pacific will put
on line of steamers TO run between British
| Columbia aud China and Japan and later on
| Australia.
THE LIVE STOCK TRAFFIC.
The Northwestern territory is developing
rapidly, Mr.. Van Horne said,. and its COM
mercial interests will be largely increased in
year or so, as the cattle business in the
I Saskatchewan valley rises 10 i'm Dortance.
| Nearly three million acres of land are
now owned BY stockmen, who are
| putting cattle on thsir ranges. This business
will be an i'm portaut feature in the business
of the line, while the large proportion of the
Montana cattle business the road will receive
will be an advantage. The Montana ship
ments are expected By the advantages the
Canadian route affords-of less distance and
a route to which the cattle can be driven with
| plenty of grass aud abundant water on the
way. The cattle from Montana viii be
shipped to Chicago, while those raised in
Canada viii go to Montreal, from where they
will be conveyed TO Europe The
quarantine law viii most likely be en-
forced on the Montana cattle, BY an inspector
being placed al the point where the cattle
cross the line, and those going to Chicago
viii be bonded, aud those going into the
British territory will be inspected, a. pro-
lection against any contagious disease.
WINNIPEG MERCHANTS.
The complaints made By the Winnipeg
merchants about being Disseminated against
in the matter Of low rates, will be looked into
by Mr.. Van Horne on bis arrival in the Are
tic City. He does not see Ehy they com =
plain. as the rates are made from the East
westward on uniform graduation,
aud rates are generally cheaper In proportion
on long than on shor; distance.
The bridge TO be built across the St Law
renee by the line f0r An oa;Iet to the sea
bO4rd, win be commenced 4s soon as the
ice is all out Of the river.
