Its president, with whom he has been
closely associated for many years Mr..
Morse has big head. smooth open face

and is enthusiastic over the Grand Trunk

AS to the governments relation TO the

THE road has two divisions, an eastern
and a western division. The eastern divi-
sion runs from the Atlantic ocean To Win

be constructed by the Canadian govern
ment The western division runs from
Winnipeg to the Pacific ocean. Il is also
1900 miles long. It is 10 be built by the
Grand Trunk Pacific company.
When the Canadian government has
completed the eastern division OF the road
by its contract with us il is bound 20 lease
It to the Grand Trunk Pacific for fifty
years. For the first seven years we pay
nothing but the working expenses and for
forty-three years thereafter We annually
pay 3 per cent on the actual cost OF con-
struction. As to the western division. that
will be built with our own money. but the
government guarantees our bonds TO the
extent OF $4,000 per mile when the road
crosses the pralries, and TO three-fourths
Of the actual cost OF construction when it
goes over the mountains"

contracts for work and supplies will be
competitive. We can even bid upon the
work ourselves, and We shall be vitality
interested in making the cost low as
is consistent with good work, as Wa have
to pay an interest upon 1t for fifty years"
What becomes of the road at the end
OF that timer"
The government agrees either to take
that branch of It, giving US operating rights
with the western division and the Grand
Trunk system, or to renew our lease for
another fifty years
1T has been estimated that it can be built
for El23 10000. This is suppOsing the eastern
division can be built for 5000 a mile and
the mountain section for from 5000 to $Go,-
