Pacific coast is reached by number
of passes. all possessing engineering
difficulties of more or less serious
character, but attending themselves,
through the genious of the engineer,
to the necessities of the irresistible
iron horse. The most southernly pass
is the Grows Nest Pass to which refer
ence has been made. North of that
there is the Kicking Horse Pass occu-
pied by the main line Of the Canadian
Pacific railway. To tile north of the
Kicking Horse Pass, and almost di-
rectly west Of Wetaski win, there is
Yellow Head Pass. Two charters haze
been granted, and railways have been
already located in this Pass, one Being
the Grand Trunk Pacific, an the other
the Canadian Northern railway. Still
further north there is the Pine River
Pass, and north of that the Peace River
Pass, both tributary to the Peace
River district. Already the mysteries
of the Grows Nest, the Kicking Horse
and the Yellow Head Passes have
been opened themselves wide to the
triumphant railway engineer. and no
doubt in the comparatively near fut-
ure, both the Pine River ard the Peace
River Passes. more easily accessible in
many respects than the others, will
capitulste similarly to the railway

Mysterious Movement of a
Surveying Party in vi
cinity of Graceville.

The Montgomery Advertiser of Sun
day contained the following regarding
the Louisville & Nashville and ST.
Andrews:
When President Milton H. Smith,
of the Louisville & Nashville, built
the Alabama and Florida division of
the NJ and NJ through the counties
of Covington, Geneva, ETC., 1t was not
done solely for the purpose of develop
ing southeast Alabama. one of the
richest and most fertile sections of
the state. There were millions of
feet of lumber to be hauled out by the
new road. it is true, and then again
the building of the road would cause
a lot of new sawmils and other enter
prises to spring up on the line.
But the farSeeing chief executive of
the Louisville and Nashville had even
a more important object in view than
that. When the Alabama and Florida
division was originally built the ter
minus was supposed to be Geneva.
the thriving capital of the county of
that name. 1t was not very long at
terward. however, before tne road was
extended from Geneva to Graceville,
Fla
For the past few months the mystic
riouS movements of a party of survey
vile have caused lots of gossip. From
the lines that they have run it is pref
ty certain that President Smith and
the Louisville & Nashville people are
making for st. Andrews bay or some
point on the coast, and this was evil
IDENTITY the original idea of Mr. Smith
when the Alabama and Florida diviS-
ion was projected.
The route that will finally be adopt
ed has not been decided on as yet,
but there seems to be no doubt of the
fact that the president of the Louis
vile & Nashville is seeking another
deep water outlet. From Graceville
to Cottondale. station on the Pensa-
cola and Atlantic division of the
Louisville and Nashville, the distance
is very short and not many miles of
track would have to be built to com
plete the connection.
Along the eastern side of the Chat
tahOochee river there is railroad
known as the Apalachicola Northern
running from River Junction down TO
the town of Apalachicola at the mouth
of the Apalachicola river and on the
bay of the same name. Now River
Junction is the terminus of the P and
A. division of the L. and N, and by eX-
tending the line from Graceville to
CottOndale the tracks of the P and A
could be used to River Junction. II
is barely possible that the Louisville
and Nashville will eventually get hold
of the Apalachicola Northern's seventy
one miles of road, or even If they only
make traffic arrangements it would
give the Louisville and Nashville vir-
tually a line from Montgomery to APP
alachicola and by the building of an
other short line 1t would put them
right in the st. Andrews bay terri
tory.
Another plan that has been project
ed is to build straight down from
Graceyille. CROSS the line of he P and
