The Hill programme in the prairie
provinces is provoking keen comment
throughout the country. That some
gigantic plan involving this part OF
Canada is being figured out by kill
is certain. The Vancouver Province
says editorially: 4 confidential ag-
ent who is thoroughly familiar with
the railway magnets methods and
aims has been looking over the North
west for some months, and as a re-
suit of his conclusions it has been
decided to build a road from Havre
on the trunk line of the Great Nor
thern to Edmonton by way Of Medi-
cine Hat. The project ed railway
will be four-hundred miles long, and
will traverse the most fertile region
of the new Province of Alberta. All
that is required before construction is
begun is d charter from the govern
ment, but this is a matter that is not
calculated to cost Mr.. Hill much in
either time or money. But Mr.. Hill
has in view something besides the
business of The farming country of the
west. It IS now realized that the
Edmonton district and the region
running north into Athabasca is rich
in mineral deposits and that great
Oil fields exist in that part Of the
Territories. Mr.. Hill desires TO
share in the wealth which will flow
from these sources and there is little
doubt he will succeed in doing so.
1t is a large programme, eviden ~,
which President Hill has formulated
for his company in entering the Can
adian territory, but it is not one
which will be regarded as beyond his
ability to execute. With the con-
struction of his projected roads from
Hayre to Edmonton he will have
eight branch lines crossing the Can
adian border west of Manitaba. to-
