of Chile, giving through railroad
communication to the east and west

of the line on that side (the Trans

miles to complete. The following de-
scription, therefore. will be confined
to the finished portion on the Agen-

The location of this line presents
some interesting features. Mendoza,

Ayres, is $50 miles from that port. and
stands 200 feet above sea level. and
the lowest point of the pass over the
summit of the Andes is 12,700 feet.
The railway is on fairly easy ground,
with only one important bridge up to
entering the mountains. At this point
the line begins to follow the valley OF
the River Mendoza. a mountain tor

Canada proposes to cut loose from his
influence and ally itself with Charles M.

Trunk railway following.
From now on Sir Thomas Shaughnessy

all the resources of the Canadian Pacific
railway, while Mr.. Hays will hitch the
Grand Trunk railway to the government.
Sir Thomas intimated in an interview
that he believed the government in
tended to discriminate against his rail-
way, Incidentally, he declares that the

Canada with tremendous debt that pos

he knows every member of parliament
