RAILWAY To THE YUKON.
Talk of New Veal for an Ail-Canadian
Route.

hOuNt.
ottawa, Ont, April 14.-william Nc
Kenzie and ID. d. Mann have arrived
here. There presence has started all
kinds of talk as to the likelihood of
their arranging with the government
for new deal for a railway into the
Yukon. one proposition Is to build a
railway from Alice Arm, or Portland
canal, right through to Teslin Lake.
This would be entirely through Canadi-
an territory and would dispose of all
complication that might arise at Wran-
gel and give an all-Canadlan route. It
would also do away with the uncer-
taintles of navigation on the Stickeen
and the delays of s-shlpment at
Wrangel. The road. which would be
$40 miles long, through bad country,
would be enormously expensive.
a resolution passed at n public meet
Ing at Vancouver has been forwarded
to Sir Wilfred Laurier, representing the
Importance of building a railway from
an ocean port toward British Columbia
toward the golden regions In the Klon-
dixie. and earnestly requesting the adj
ministration to devise some means
whereby this can be accomplished.
Another proposition has also been
mentioned. 1t is to make some ar
rangement with the United States gov

etc. for a railway from Lynn canal TO
Fort Selkirk, by the Dalton trail. This
would necessitate charter from the
