ALBERTA LINES I WERE GUILTY TO THE PEACE ROBBING STORE aiattcrs Still Heine DUcussed af 4-Kdmonton and Possible Pa clfic Outlet EDMONTON, Sept. 25. The aale of the Alberta Rialways to the C.P.R. with the dosdcci that the Canadian National will join with them in the deal is still tfie subject of conversation here to the exclusion of all others the general impression seems to be that the Canadian National will take advantage of the opportunity to participate in the deal. If the line isowned jointly It will be operated by a se,partc board or by the management of one of the existing linos, each company having equal privileges in connnection with the routing t.f shipments. Another impression hero is that if the Alberta lines are to be wned jointly, so will be the Pacific outlet, but if the C. P. II r-rtaalonethatcompany will probably build the Pacifice outlet but to which port no one can tell, al though Prince Rupert is looked upon as a possibility.
