As a matter of fact, Uritish Columbia became a Province of the Dominion in 1871 under promise of railway connection, though the actual linkinjj-up did not bee me a reality till 1885. The enormous development of railroading has been one of the outstanding features of the sixty years that have elapsed since Ontario, Quebec, New Urunswick, and Nova Scotl4 united under one central government in 1807. At that time the new-born Dominion boasted 2,278 "miles of track; it has over 42,500 miles today. In equipment, too, the evolution has been great. The old wood-burner of 18G7, though capable of very creditable speed, was a pigmy in size, weight and strength compared with the huge locomotives of today, C V.

The i route for this has not yet been decided j an but the minister of lands has pro- i mlsed that a thorough reconnalsance ; will be made this year by competent engineers for the purpose of deciding the route and estimating the cost of building the road. It. Is thought that the main highway j may turn Inland st Port Edward follow- ; lng a natural grade and passing several ; plcturesques lakes as far as Haysport. Fr?m there It Is a question whether' the river route or by an Inland pass will be most feasible, but the best opln- I Ion seems to favor the river as far as j Kltsumkalum. The alternative for the section between Galloway Rapids and Haysport would be along the river close to the railway, tf the road were built that way It would terve the canneries and be ot greater Immediate benefit to Prince Rupert.
