An effort was made to stampede the country into building the Brill; cutoff to give the Peace River a shorter outlet than at present to the Pacific Ocean. . .Studying lbe map or reading reports of those wlio know the situation indicates that the Brule route is not by any means Hie best. There are other and shorter routes 1o the coast, which' would open up larger and better territory and also serve the Pi-are River much better. Just what pass the railway shall go through or where it shall: join the Canadian National Railway is for engineers to decide. If the (LX.It. builds the line, which seems to be the logical thing .to. .expect, it should be built in such a location as to best .serve .the, .juj crest of . the people and of tl(e Xaljoiial. system, In any case it will come out near Prince (ieorge rather than by Brule, if the reports of those who profess to know are to be believed, Conference Regarding Railway Matters. This week end a coufereiice'is to be held in which the disposal of Hie P.ti.E. mid the set, lenient of the Peace River con troversy are to be settled. What will be the outcome, no one! ,. mi I. I...... I.. I I . .. " n jinc i" oi- ruiiMurrcu in a mni.ier oi mis kind. What being realized today is that the P.ti.E. possibly has some value and that there is a demand for the opening of the Peace River .country by means of a railway. The reasonable thing seems to be the building of a main line just now with branches: to follow. Not Looking For An Election Yet. Very soon Hie Dominion Parliament will meet again and or course the question of. dissolution of. Parliament will again be beard of. Those who .are in a position i know do not give much credence to reports of possible dissolution this year. They say that there seems no good reason for pulling the 'country to the expense, of an election jut now. The government is well supported on every division and is mil likely to be defeated. Unless sojne big question 'arises, it will carry on for at least another year and possibly more. Owners Of Delsel Engined Boats. . . .
