United States of America at the present time are thoroughly harmonious and slngu- larly cordial War in the future appears an impossibility. Perhaps never before have we come to such perfect understanding of one anothers work and ambitions, And hence 8 way should easily be prepared for the completion of a treaty between the two countries which would allow Americans gen erous privileges through British Columbia in relation to which the transportation oi troops in time of necessity should be an easy item to adjust.
 Because of their distance from the set tied centers of civilization to the south, the potentially rich areas of Northern British Columbia and Alaska have heretofore been greatly handicapped in their development Indeed, only recently have the surpassing riches of these territories secured general recognition and today holds great expansion in store for these sections of the neighbor countries.
 Tt is impossible to bring about the com Tlete and desirable development of these iso-
 roject of so great international advan ta e and importance should be easy of con summation if a treaty be devised providing for the building of the road and it's opera tion with full protection of American inter e5ts Wken 1t is considered that the prov ince of British Columbia alone proposes to answer for the building of the first 700- mile section, this should be sufficient war rant for the larger authorities undertaking the completion of the plan.
 "The Pacific Great Eastern railway is now building from the city of Vancouver, where today two American systems are op erating and giving full and satisfactory con tact with al the transcontinental lines to the south Upward of 4,000 men are ac- lively engaged on the construction of this road The president of the company, J. W. Stewart is we'll known throughout railway circles on both sides of the line
 "The vice president of the company and its general counsel, Darcy Tate, K. C., was for years associated with the Grand Trunk Pacific railway as its general solicitor He has had long experience with western de velopment, and is now concentrating all his time and talents, of admittedly very high orGer to the consumm ation of this project"

AGED MAN BELIEVES
 HE HAS NEW KLONDIKE
After Prospecting in North for Thirty-two Years, John Gentle Returns to Ed-
 monton With Big Nuggets

Edmonton, Alberta, Oct. l6.-After searching in the North country for more than 32 years for gold, John Gentle, aged 72 years, arrived in Edmonton recently with the glad news that he had at last reached his Eldorado.
 To substantiate his statements he brought with him nuggets of gold many of which weighed over an ounce and three of them weighing respectively IF, lA, and beautiful specimen which turned the balance at a few pennyweights over two ounces.
 He was acquainted with c. L. Richard son, late city auditor, and together they approached J. H. Schrimogeour, barrister, and A. G. Wilson, and all decided to go at once to file claims on what may be a new Klondike, leaving by the Grand Trunk Pa cifc on Monday night.
 Their destination is somewhere north of the end of steel on the Macleod river, and the party does not expect to be back in the city for several days when they will file their claims.

PLAN PANAMA ID ALASKA RIAILRE LOAD

such north and south line through British Columbia has made the entire scheme alto aether feasible As the situation stands at present the Pacific Great Eastern will ex- tend from Vancouver norther.y for FOG miles, and our proposal is to secure the further extension of this line through the Yukon to the Alaskan boundary, there mak ing contact with the proposed United States federal railway system, toward the con struction of which congress has been asked to appropriate S40,0O0,000.
 Suggeits Government Bonds
 T would point out that until Alaska gets direct rail connection with the South il will and be and must continue to be an isolated zone, and unable to secure the best advantages for its legitimate develop ment. Needless to say, while the expendl- ture of the moneys sought to be provided by the American congress will greatly assist local development in Alaska through railway IAtS SON'i bNNA development can only continue within g very circumscribed zone.
 "To build from the Peace river to Alaska wi call for an investment of from $40, OOO,O0O to S60,O00,000. My plan is to have the Ottawa and Washington governments guarantee company bonds sufficient to carry out the work and enter into an agreement with the Pacific Great Eastern Railway Company for the construction and opera ton of the line.
 ''The road can be projected through g country of splendid potentlalties 8 country thoroughly adapted for successful mineral timbering and agricultural development apart altogether from its great scenic, tour ist-attracting and sport values, and alto gether this line can be built and in opera ton within four years from today As next year marks the completion of the centenary of peace 1t would, in my opinion, be de cideGly worthy achievement for both inter ested countries to consider this project as fully equal in commercial and historic value and significance with the opening of the Panama canal.
 Apart from the highly important com mercial value of such north and south international Pacific coast railway, the strategic utility of such line would be unquestionable.

GOOD QUALITIES OF PEAT

London Nov 1O.-The conclusion reached by Charles E. Green of Edinburgh that there is distinct relationship between the occurrence of cancer and the kind of fuel used for domestic purposes was ac- cepted as decisive by Sir William Bennett, the eminent surgeon, in his presidential ad- dress at the meeting of the Coal Smoke Abatement Society.
 Sir William said investigation had shown that the incidents of cancer was limited to those areas where coal was the staple fuel, while it was non-existent where ordinary peat alone was used. The only exception yet discovered to this rule, he declared, was in districts where the peat was hard, Jack substance, which cracked like coal and was quite unlike the smouldering, ordi- nary peat. Sir William Bennett, in conclu- sion, spoke strongly in favor of gas as 8 substitute for coal

Victoria B. C., Nov 6,-Negotiations G. which have been for some time past in progress and which concern the government of British Columbia, the Dominion of Can qua and the United States of America and less directly the imperial governr .ent of Great Brit ain, have so far progressed dur ing the last few months that public men feel justified in predicting that half a decade hence will witness the completion of direct al-rai communication between the Isthmus of Panama and the Territory of Alaska This great north and south ar. | terial highway on the Pacific coast will be the longest continuous railroad on the con- tinent, and is destined to become factor of incalcuable importance, not only in the expansion of international Pacific coast com merce, but also of continental defense.
 The Panama British Columbia Alaska through line has for some time past occu- pied 8 prominent place in the policy of provincial developments now being carried into full effect by the prime minister of British Columbia, Sir Richard Mcbride, and may indeed be looked upon as the cGmac- teric feature of that policy. It IS to Sir Richards credit also that his government has taken the initial steps toward trans forming this extra important transportation project into an actuality, since the Pacific Great Eastern railway, now being construct ed from Vancouver northerly and easterly to St. George, the hub of the Cariboo dis trict, must necessarily constitute an impor- tant section of the new transcontinental and international trunk line.
 Sir Richards Ambition
 In addressing the Progress Club at Van couver a few days ago, Sir Richard inti- mated that he regarded the bringing into existence of a railway connecting Alaska with the United States and the great canal via British Columbia as the principal am bition of his career as a public man. Fol lowing up his statement Sir Richard, in an interview since accorded a newspaper man, dwelt again with special enthusiasm upon the plans which are taking form for the creation of this railway, and gave much interesting information concerning them.
 q have been working for some time on this railway project" said Sir Richard, land it is only within the past two years since the provincial government undertook to build the Pacific Great Eastern railway, that
