THE weather has not been severe in

only one week of very cold weather. In

travel on the ice"
Whether or not this line has anything
to do with the talked of new transcon-
t1nental Canadian line is a matter of on
lecture. AS printed in the New York
Post the present rumor is that of a prop
osition for a transcontinental railroad to
be jointly operated by the Inter-Colonial
and the Grand Trunk. Briefly the prop
osltion appears to be this: That the
lnter-Colonial obtain powers for running
over the Grand Trunk as far as Chou
teau, thence using the canada & Atlantic
as far as Ottawa and the Ottawa, Arm
prior & Parry Sound to Elmsdale. Two
miles from Elmsdale village the ottawa,
Arnprior and Parry Sound road crosses
the Grand Trunk North Bay line. Con-
nection will be mad between the lines
and thus an approach to the north shore
of Lake Superior will be gained.
From North Bay a new line is suggest
ed to Sudbury and thence paralleling the
Canadian Pacific to Winnipeg. From
Winnipeg west it seems uncertain
whether the proposed line would run
parallel to the, Canadian Pacific and take
advantage of the latter's line through
Crows Nest Pass or whether it would run
northWesterly from Winnipeg and enter
British Columbia by Yellow Pass, thus
passing down to Vancouver and Victoria

Directly in line with the report Of a
new transcontinental Canadian railway
line, printed as a dispatch to the New
York Evening Post from Montreal re-
Gently, comes the description from Ed
monitor, N. w. T., of a trip made by a
railway engineering party to locate a
railway line through the Peace river pass
and eastward from the Cascades to the
British Columbia boundary, south of
Peace river. The Edmonton Bulletin
says:
"V. H. D. Dupont, c. E.. and party ar
rived from Peace river on Saturday. The
members of the party are A. II. Kerr, as
sistant; f. de G. Davis, G. Crandell, M.
| Mason, Allan Sutherland, Frank Hut
clemson, Fl. J. Biggs, ]. w. Lee, Fred AL
| bert, ]. Lacombe, F. Nelson. All who
went out came back safe and sound and
look well. This party left Edmonton on
the Sth of July and reached the mouth
of Finlay river on September 8. They
were % days travelling from Edmonton to
Hudson's Hope, at the foot Of the Rocky
mountain portage, and seven days from
the mead of the portage to the Finlay.
Their work was to make a preliminary
exploration for a railway line through the
! Peace river pass and eastward from the
mountains to the British Columbia
boundary south of Peace river. In the
work from the mouth of the Finlay to the
head OF the ROCKY mountain portage
transport was by boat. a trial line was
run on the south bank of the Peace for
this distance, about IS miles. Although
his was through the Rocky mountains
no very serious obstacles were met with.
At some points, however, the mountains
rise so abruptly from the waters edge
that short tunnels would be necessary.
Mount Selwyn, near the mouth of the
Finlay. is the highest peak in that part
of the range. 1t is about 5000 feet above
the sea and about 1000 above the Peace
river.
THE horses of the party had been left
at Hudson's Hope while the work from
| the Finlay to that point was being done.
| When the head or west end of the Rocky
mountain portage was reached (Hudson,s
| Hone is at the east end) the horses We're
used for purposes of transport. In the
| attcmpt to carry a line on the south side
| past the portage great difficulties were
| met with in passing through the canyon
! of the Peace. On one occasion Mr.. Du-
mont nearly lost his life. Once the canyon
was IN esed there We're no serious DIR
, t~u,ties, The country along the south ban
of tho Peace is moderately level, and hlSn
above the river. Near the river 1t is deep
lv cut by gullies, but these do not eXtehd
very far back, except in the cases OF
Noherly river and South Pine river.
These streams can not be got around, on
account of their length. and their valleys

MAKING GOOD TIME

BLIZZARD ON BURLINGTON
Concerning the Rumored Canadian
Observation-Disclosures and Gen.
eral Railroad Gossip.
BLIZZARD ON BURLINGTON

The heavy snow and cold wave which
seems to be quite general throughout the
west has not materially interfered with
traffic on the railroad lines which center
in Butte. In nearly every instance trains
are coming in on schedule time, although
the snow plows and track cleaners are
kept somewhat busy. Several snow slides
are reported, but none of any conse-
uuence. The Montana Union experienced
some trouble on the hill this morning. The
| storm is raging in the open country. along
the Burlington, south of Sheridan, Wyo-
ming. 1t is a blizzard in that section but
the Burlington people have succeeded, up
to date, in countering nature with science,
and are making excellent time, in spite OF
~unfaVorable climatic conditions. The
Union Pacific and Oregon Short line,
! which pass through an open, bleak coun-
try, similar to that traversed by the Bur
lington, are experiencing the same DIFF
ficulty, but by dint of good r~ailroadlng,
are making good time. The snow is not
so heavy along the eastern route OF the
Northern Pacific, but if the fall continues,
delayed trains can be expected.
