Friday, November 23, fbSg PItOPOSBI) RAILWAY CilARTHR A company is applying to the next legislature for the right to build a railway from Telkwa to Kitimit by way of Copper River,. touching the C. N. R. at Copper City and tidewater at Kitimat. While there should be no objection to a company building a railway anywhere it wishes through crown lands as long as it does not interfere with existing rights, no company should be given government aid unless it opens up new country without duplicating lines already in existence. At the present time the Canadian National has a line from Telkwa to tidewater and it was chosen because it was the best possible route. A survey was made by way of Telkwa and Copper Rivers,, but the route was abandoned in favor of that along1 the Bu&ley. Already there is a line from Telkwa to Copper City with an excellent grade, better than can be secured by way 01 copper uiver, ana tnere is a line u rnnce iiupert down the Skeena, the best grade in the eountry. It would not be a wise policy to extend aid to any other fine to the coast opening up the sajtiie qmmtty. If no aid is asked, the granting of a charter Mil do no harm. I J. K. Gordon, .
