An isolation hospital is a necessily in Prince Rupert to deal with cases of smallpox, diphtheria, elc., which may come in at any time by boat or from the surrounding districts, however healthy the city itself may be. On the attitude of the press during the ensuing year, Mr. J. Roerig of The Daily News said, on behalf of his paper, that the at- titude of The Daily News would be that of a good booster for the city.

For laterals a minimum diameter of eight inches was recommended by Col.

A DECADE IN HISTORY OF THE TRUNK PACIFIC—SOME Ls HAYS ON TRANSCONTINENTAL PROGRESS OF THE GRAND EPOCHS OF INTER- THE LINE. gon, through or near Battleford, Edmonton and Dunvegan, through the Rocky Mountains to Port Simpson or Bute Inlet. On July 14, 1903, Sir Wilfrid Laurier introduced his now fam- ous act to provide for the con- struction of the railway and the assistance of the Government was pledged under a definite arrange- ment. Under this agreement the Government was to build the line from Moncton to Winnipeg, and a commission was appointed to have the supervision of this sec- tion in hand. The portion from Winnipeg to Prince Rupert was to be built by the Grand Trunk Pacific Company. Survey work was begun in the same year and the work of the surveyors and the construction companies and contractors has gone on steadily since that time. The cost of the work, owing to the extraordinary and unexpected increase in the cost of labor, has largely ex- ceeded the original estimates, but On March 27th, 1903, the house of commons received a petition asking for the incorporation of the company with a eapital of $75,000,000, with the following corporators Hon. George E. iCox, E. R. Wood, and Col. H. M. Pellat, of Toronto, Hon, William Gibson Beamsville, John R., Booth, Ottawa, Han. H. B. Rain- jville, Quebec; C. M. Hays, Frank |W. Morse and William Wain- wright, Montreal, and John Bell jof Belleville. The route proposed jor North Bay, north of Lake Nepi- it is coneeded that the line will be operated at a very low cost and the savings from this source will within a comparatively short time compensate for the increase in the price.
