The crows Nest Pass Road.

An agreement has been reached between
the Dominion government and the Cana
dian Pacific Railroad Company as to the
construction of what is known as the
Crows Nest Pass Railway. The Canadian
Pacific is to construct the road, which will
run from Lethbridge, N. ". T.. by way
of the Crows Nest pass through the Rocky
mountains, terminating a RoSsland, b. G.
The road will be $50 miles in length and
the government is to pay the Canadian
Pacific a bonus of $11, 000 per mile. In re-
turn the railroad company comedies run
ming powers over the road to any and all
other railways, and the freight rates are
at all times TO be under control of the gov
eminent. The Canadian Pacific also agrees
TO reductions in freight rates on its main
lines ranging from 10 to 80 per cent. The
gold mines and coal fields in the district
through which 1t passes. Construction is to
begin at once.
Failed to Agree on Mileage Books.
The roads of the Central Passenger Com
mittee have for the time being abandoned
their efforts to form an agreement on the
mileage book matter. The plan under
which they have been working for the last
few months has not proved satisfactory and
it was thought better TO adopt the plan of
the Western Passenger roads and allow
Chairman Donald, of the committee to
have the matter under his control. The
roads, however after long discussion
ter has gone over until the next meeting
with the chances rather against an adop-
ton of the plan of the Western Passenger
Association at that time.

Not knowing.


I know not what shall befall me,
God hangs a mist Ger my eyes,
And 30 each step in my onward path,
He makes new scenes to rise
And every joy He sends me comes
AS a strange and sweet surprise.
I see not step before me,
As I tread in another year,
Eut the past is still in Gods keeping,
The future His mercy shall clear
And what looks dark in the distance,
May brighten as l draw near
For perhaps the dreadful future
Has less bitter than | think,
The Lord may sweeten the waters,
Before ! stooo to drink,
Or if Marah must be Marah,
He will stand beside the brink
So I go on, not knowing.
l would not if l might!
1 would rather walk in the dark with God
Than walk alone in the light,
1 would rather walk with Him by faith,
Than walk alone by sight.
My neart shrinks back from trials
That the future may disclose
Yet I never had a sorrow,
But what the dear Lord chose,
So 1 send the coming tears lack,
With the whispered word. He knows"
