The present railway complications in
Manitoba are the continuation of the old
night between the Province and the Canadian
racine Railway, which is backed by the
DomlDion government. The Canadian Pa
cine want the monopoly of the transporta-
tloh OF Manitoba, so they can fix their own
prices for carrying her grain to the seaboard
ana Tor bringing back the manufactured
articles. The people of Manitoba. on the
other hand, who are ready to fight rather
than allow themselves to be subjected to
monopoly, have projected after much ex-
pense and tribulation, line from Winnipeg
south along the red river of the North to the
United States, where a junction NAV be
erected with the Canadian Pacific. This
prospective road, which has already been
leased to the Northern Pacific, is called the
Red River Valley Railway. and is so nearly
completed that the people of Manitoba had
hoped,s before the present complications
arose with the Canadian Pacific. that thev
would have disadvantage of the COMMITTING
line in sending this seasons crop Of wheat To
the market 1t is probably for the purpose
Of defeating this plan and preserving it's
monopoly for one year more, that the Cana
dian Pacific is obstructing the work of build
ing the Red River Valley road across its
line
