CRADLE" writes Frederick A. Talbot, telling Of the
surveys for the Grand Trunk Pacific railroad in
the Engineering Magazine. "The forest was for
the most part trackless, the Indians and trappers
moving through this inhosptable country along
the obviously easy channels--the waterways.
Huge stretches OF muskeg were encountered, for
the land is in need of draining. AS the west
ern boundary of the province Of Ontario is ap-
preached the country becomes moro broken, lakes
and swamps being intersected by stretches OF
badly broken rocky hills. From Lake Npgon
westward to the boundary of Manitoba the worst
country between the Atlantic and Pacific had to
be penetrated with great difficulty and arduous-
ness.
For the purpose OF the surveys elaborate
organization had to be perfected, in order to ship

with provisions For six months of the year the
country was in the grip of snow, the fall of which
is heavy, while the thermometer drops to very low
readings. AS the nearest railway communication
was 100 or more miles to the south, supplies had
to be packed over and numerous caches had to be
established. Tote roads were driven for team
work as far as practicable in summer. trails had
