According
to
a
Victoria
dispatch
to
the
Vancouver
Province,
the
provincial
government
has
decided
definitely
that,
on
account
of
the
financial
situation,
it
cannot
undertake
a
policy
of
completing
the
Pa
cific
Great
Eastern
Railway

country,
j
The
government,
it
Is
pointed
out,
is
emphatically
in
favor
of
a
Peace
i
River
railway
but
it
must
be
built
I
by
one
or
the
other
ot
the
trans

systems
or
by
other
capital.
The
provincial
government
is.
Indeed,
counting
heavily
on
Premier
R.
B.
Bennett's
definite
pledge
to
give
the
Peace

country
a
Pacific
outlet.
This
pledge
creates
