'I'lie idei. oei'iirred to nie and others that a line of ' oilr. on Lake lieunett and the Yukon would jiay well, so we put our heads together, Hall MliU'B Smt-ltcr- N..|«..ii. Il.e. e>lalili>h the only -ueees>fnl transport system in the ^'iikmi territory. Il is true we have two ri\al steiimhoiit lines on the lake. These conipanies eiudi own a little wretidied .'ill-foot hoat, and one of these reeeiitly got wreeked ill the rapids, and yet they are aecepting eontraets for freight and pasx'iigers, deinanding payment in advaiiee and guaraiiteeilig to land the men iind helongings at I)awsoii hy their lilies. Many iiiifortuii- ales have thus got stranded half-way on the journey, and tlioy have simply no means of redress. It is de|iloriihle. We have gone on a different tack altogether, and we don't ask payment for carrying freight until it arrives safely at its estiiialioii. .\ II ot h e r thing I think iiii|ioit- ant to mention is that hy the o-tah- lishnii .it of this line we have (|uite as good ail all-Canadian route to the gold lields MS we would have had if the Tesiin Lake railway had h e e n hull t.

As a writer ha.s saiil. " 'rowanls the KasI, all ahout Lake Suiierior.and heyond the l!eil IJiver, was a vast roeky ref^ion where nature in her yoiiniier days hail run riot, ami where deep lakes and niiij;hty rivers in every diieetion o|i|insei| the |iroj;ress of the en;;ineer.

The eonstruetinn of the 'i'raiis- eoiilinental line, however, was tn eome. Braueli lii-es were huilt to open prairie, forest and mine, while iiidepMideiit eonneetions to the seahnard were secured.

I'iii!nt must he urasped, and as a result the idea of plac- ing nn the I'aeilic. steamers which would surpass anything: alloat nii the I'acilie, was sui;j;esleil.

Ne.xtcame the siiif;,'esliou of a steamship line to .Australia, which has now heconie a reality. Small wonder, therefore, that no other pulilic enler|)rise has so ureal an inlhlence upon the development of the dominion, or that the railway has indeed hecomc a ureat part of our national life. Space, however, does not permit of discourse on the identity of the Canadian I'aeilic with the development of the Dimiiuioii of Canada, however interestine; the siihject might lie, hut we wish to particularize a fow' of the scenic heauties of tin; lino. liOaviujf Vancouver the railway follows its ooiir.so through the variou.s rivers, lakes and springing verdure, as ndnrous with Mowers, as peaceful and lovely as the happy valley of l!as.
