J. BATTLEFORD, Saskatchewan, Oct. 20.
.-Battleford is long way from Chicago: it
Is even q long way from Winnipeg, as far,
in fact, as Kansas City is from Chicago,
but it Is very near the center Of some Of
the most interesting railway building on
the continent. Three great railway sys-
TENS are now contending with one an
other for the control Of as large share
as possible Of the fertile acres of the
valley of the Saskatchewan. This valley
is to western Canada what the Mississippi
valley Is to the United States. The first
railway to attempt to penetrate the sas-
ihatchewan valley east and west was the
Canadian Northern, railway but little
heard Of in. the states, thought it now
controls about $500 miles of line west of
Lake Superior. This line is now within
fifty miles Of Edmonton, which, by the
mileage Of this road, is about $50 miles
from Winnipeg. The next road to strike
boldly out for the Saskatchewan country
was the new Grand Trunk Pacific, which
is now constructing an almost direct line
from Winnipeg to Edmonton. For con-
siderable distance the Canadian Northern
rather closely follows the actual valley
of the North Saskatchewan. The Grand
Trunk Pacific, on the other hand, strikes
boldly across the country, seemingly ig-
noring the waterways, and yet attaining
a remarkably easy grade.
The Canadian Pacific had long entered
the Saskatchewan valley; first, by it's line
to Prince Albert, and, second, by it's line
to Edmonton, but with the advent of the
newer roads with their trunk lines Can
ada's great railway corporation saw the
necessity of east and west lines through
the great northern fertile belt If it were to
do justice to itself. And now that it is in
the field 1t proposes to make the most OF
it, and is practically building two trunk
lines clear through the valley from east
to west. Two or three years ago the

Edmonton branch, two apparently pur-
poseless lines, but it now turns out that
each Of these lines is to be extended east
