The

than
at
any
time
in

past
four
or
five
years,
Hon.
Dr.
R.
J.
Manion.
minister
of
railways,
told
the
House
of
Commons
yesterday.
Although
the
financial
position
of
the
country
would
not
permit
the
spending
of
from
$30,-000,000
to
$80,000,000
to
complete
the
railway
and
all
its
branches,
there
was
some
hope
of
:
making
a
start.

J.
A.
Fraser,
Conservative
member
for

suggested
that
a
start
be
made
by
building
the
road
between
Hlnes
Creek
and
Beaton
River,
points
one
hundred
miles
apart.
This
suggestion
appealed
to
him,
admitted
Dr.
Manion,
and
he
said:
"I
should
like
to
see
the
government

something

The
one

would
