should
not
overlook
the
advantages
of
the
Quesnel-Vanderhoof-Fort

Is
the

and
that
they
are
all
to

at

The
contention
of
the
memorandum
is
that
at
least
one
of
these
surveys
should
start
at
Quesnel.
The
fact
that
the
Quesnel-Van-

Is
mislead
Ing,
the
paper
states,
because
there
are
actually
45
miles
more
of

on
this
route
than
on
the
shortest
which
runs
from
Prince

to
Dawson

by
way
of

and
Pine
Pass.
The
fact
that
it
is
now

requires
little
new
In
construction
and
presents
few
engineering
dif
ficulties
Is
also
In
Its
favor.
The
use
of
this

would
eliminate
the
problem
presented
at

where

A
new
system
of
Induction
of
both
volunteers
for

Army
and
men
drafted
under
the
National
Resources
Mobilization
Act
has
been
adopted
by
the
Canadian

and
Is

to
eliminate
much
of
the
confusion
formerly
connected
with
recruiting,
both
I
the
standpoint
of
the
recruit
and
of
the
Army.
Under
the
new
scheme
local
re
cruiting
boards
and
medical
boards
are
done

with
and
the
work
formerly
done
by
them
Is
now
centred
at
an
Army
Reception
Centre
at
Vancouver.
At
his
local
recruiting
office
the
prospective
SQldier
merely
fills
out
an
offer
of
service
form
and,
if
he
Is
considered

to
make
a

he

passes
before
a
series
of
specialists,
each
of
whom
examines
a
different
part

him.
The
thing
is
done
quickly
and
thoroughly.
A
feature
of
this
examination
Is
what
Is
called
the
"M"
test,
which
Is
like
an

test

that
It
Is
calculated
to
reveal,
through

the
speed

so
that
