Original copies in printed paper covers are filmed beginning with the front cover and ending on the last page with a printed or illustrated impres- sion, or the back cover when appropriate. All other original copies are filmed beginning on the first page with a printed or illustrated impres- sion, and ending on the last page with a printed or illustrated impression. The last recorded frame on each microfiche shall contain the symbol -^^ (meaning "CON- TINUED"), or the symbol V (meaning "END"), whichever applies. Maps, platbs, charts, etc., may be filmed at different reduction ratios. Those too large to be entirely included in one exposure are filmed beginning in the upper left hand corner, left to right and top to bottom, as many frames as required. The following diagrams illustrate the method: L'exemplaire film* fut reproduit grAce A la gAnArosit* de: Library Division Provincial Archives of British Columbui Les images suivantes ont At* reproduites avec le plus grand soin, compte tenu de la condition at de la nettetA de l'exemplaire filmA, et en conformitA avec les conditions du contrat de filmage.

Braun, Esq., Secretary, Railways and Canals. Canadian Pacific Railway, Office of the Engineer in chief, Ottawa, November 24th 1879. Sir, — On my return from Manitoba, I reported among othci things that a permanent Bridge should be erected at Rat River on the Pembina Branch, as tho present temporary structure was far from satisfactory and liable to be washed away by the spring fre-shets. While on the spot I directed the contractors to prepare pile abutments for the new bridge, and on reaching Ottawa under your authority, I had an advertisement put in the Toronto, Hamilton and Montreal papers inviting tenders for a single 60 feet Iron Span. Tenders have been received from the Hamilton Bridge Company, Tho Toronto Bridge Company, and the Kellogg Bridge Company. An abstract of these tenders is attached. I found that the peculiar design of tho Kellogg Bridge would necessitate length- ening it 3 feet, to fit the abutments now under coi struction. I asked by telegraph wliat additional sum would be required .'or the extra three feet and received the following reply; — "Throe feet additional Kngth will cost eighty-four dollars." Tho three accejitablo tenders will theroihre stand thus : — Hamilton Bridge Co $2,798 Toronto Bridge Co 3,403 Kellogg Bridge Co 1,384 I find on examining the tenders that to the Kellog Bridge Company's tender will require to be added tho cost of timber beams or ties immediately under the railn, This should not bring the whole cost of the span over $1,600 erected in place and rails laid.

Sib, — A communication of date 15th .January, signed by Patrick Purcell, Hugh Ryan, James Goodwin and James N. Sniith, has been referred to me for report. These parties sent in the lowest tender for the Section in British Columbia extending fiom Boston Bar to Lytton, and the communication to which I refer, on the r pai t, authorizes the transfer of all their interest in the contract and work to Mr.Andrew Onderdonk, and I am reque.sted to state if I see any objections to the transfer. As the other three sections in Britihh Columbia are already awarded to Mr. Onderdonk, and the one in question intervenes between them, it would result in considerable advantages to have the whole in the hands of one contractor of sufficient strength to carry on the work; and from the letters furnished I _, le General Manager of the Bank of Montreal, and others of high standing, there Wvjuld appear to be no doubt of Mr, Onderdonk's financial ability and experience. I am, etc, SANDFORD FLKMING, Engineer-in-Chief. Ottawa, 30th January, 1880. Jfon. J. W. Tbctch, Agent for Dominion Government in British Columbia.

You will be good enough to favor me with your opinion as to whether 't would be'in the public interest to comply with their request and enter into a contract for Section B also, with Mr. Onderdonk, who has already placed to the credit of the uai'y, 1880. n " B," of the U8 to Andrew said Section eposit required jpoaitod by as, to be put up Ui^CELL, :)i)VViN-, SMITH. uary, 1880.

Sir Ciiari.es Tuppeii, K.C.M.G., Minister of Railways and Canals. Sir,— Upon the proposal of Messrs. Purcell, Ryan, Goodwin and Smith to transfer their contract for Section Ji of the Canadian Pacific Railway in British Columbia to Mr. A. Onderdonk, with whom contracts have been made lor Sections A, and D of that work, which proposal "has been referred to me under cover of your letter of yesterday's date, instructing mo to express my opinion thereon, 1 have the honor to state that I decidedly think it would be of advantage to the public interests that the whole of these lour sections of jailway con.struction should bo undertaken by one contractor or one firm of contractors, in consideration of the greater convenience to the Government of having to deal with such one firm instead of with separate, and perhaps contending, firms of contractors in a work like this, which will require a specially organized system of labor supply and a concentra- tion of plan and effort to en^ure its successful accomplishment in a manner satis- factory to the public interests ; provided there bo full assurance, as seems from the documents accompanying your letter to be v. oil established in this case, that such firm is in all respects duly qualified to carry out such an extensive undertaking, and that the four sections of the work be commenced and constructed simultaneously. This considcra.wn has more special lorce, too, in regard to the particular section in question. For the location of Section B renders it, in my judgment, based upon intimate personal knowledge of the topography, specially de.-^irable that that portion, at all events, of this section which extends from its junction with Section A along the right (west) bank of Fraser River to the proposed railway crossing over that river, should be built .n direct connection with Section A, and therefore by those who may have control of that section of the work — in fact, this portion of Section B is so entirely cut oft" by the river and by mountains fi-om all approach to it by land, that the only means of acen-s to it — unless by ferr}' — must ba from the point on Section A, where the waggon load, leaving the line of the railway, crosses Fraser river by the Suspension Bridge, and must follow thence along the line of Section A, a distance of about ten miles over very broken ground with precipitous bluffs bounding the river at several points to the initial point of the said Section B at Boston Bar. 1 have the honor to be.

Kiivami^h, made this day to us, one of the tenderers for Section D, Caniulian Pacific Railway, British Columbia Division, that the said Kavaiiai^h, for hiniSL-if an 1 liis eo-partiiors for the said section, has a^jrced to withdraw their tender ior the ^arne. in cniisidoraiion for a certain sum of money to bo paid by Grcgorj' & McMimus, tlie leiiilficrs, who are understood to be the next iu price to the Icmler niado by T. & M Ktivanatth & Co , of Ottawa, — And as ilio unilor>i<,MiL'd liuiieve that ilie arrangement is made fraudulently and against the rules of the Departme it, — Wo bring the faet to your roi u e, to be dealt with as you consider most expe- dient in the piiblie interest, having in view the legitimate claims of honest tenderers. Having subinitied this fact before you, the tj'ulh of which we are prepared to establish, we respecilully urge that the temler of Gregory, McManus & Co., having been made the lowest tenler by this underhand and fraudulent process, that Gregory's tender bo passed over and considered null and void. I .J , We have the honor to be. Sir, Your most obeilicnt servants, SlIIliLDS, MoDON.A.LD, BROWX & CO., Tenderers for said Section. Antiqonish, N.S., 20th April, 1880. The Hon. Sir Charles Tuppsr, K.C.B., Minister of Railways, Ottawa. Sir, — I see that a letter of Shields & Co., charging Gregory & McManus with fraudulent action with regard to Kavanagh's tender for Section 1), Biitish Colurabin, Canadian Pacific Railway contract, is among the papers laid before the House of Commons by the Government, and has hence found its way into the newspapers. Such repi'esontations going forth to the country unanswered must necessarily be detrimental to the parties charged. I beg to bring to your recollection the following circum.*tanoes : — At an interview in your office, you intimated to me the receipt of such a letter from Messrs. Shieldi & Co., and you asked if it were my wi^h that you should inves- tigate the matter. I replied tiiat such was not only my wi.sh liut my right, as I could show that we had not only refused to have any dealings with Mr. Kavanagh, but that we, ourselves, had refns-ed to sell out our chame to the parties ahovo us, who claim thr.t they had in their po.-session a written undertaking from parties below us to sell out if we would. You expressed satisfaction to learn that the charge against us could be success- fully refuted. At a subsequent interview you told me that you had since seen Mr. Kavanagh, who himself had assured you that there was no truth in the charge of Messrs. Shields & Co. A few days afterwards I leartiod from you that the work had been contracted for upon Mr. Kavanagh's tender. You then told me that yoa would send me a copy of Shields & Co's, letter, so that my reply to th« charge might ajjpear upon the record. No copy of the ch irgo has ever reached mo. No doubt, press of Dep:irtmental bu-inoss occasioned the oversight. It seems strange, however, that the charge of Shields & Co. should have been given to the House and public, yet no mention whatever made upon the papers and record, or orally, before the Plouse, that the charge had been enquired into, found giouiul- less; or, at least, that the accused had denied the charge and asked enquiry. I rcspeotfuliy claim that justice demands that either an enquiry should be held or that nber, 1879. owlodge of the Lo us, one of the a l)ivi>;ion, that n, has iitfi-oed to m of money to be the next in Vaudulontl)' and idor most oxpe- loncst tondoi'ors. 1 are prepared to irt & Co., having it process, that \^ & CO., sdtd Section.

I must secure a proper refiiiaiion either upon the public record ot the «jOvera- ment or by verdict of a jury at a civil suit for slander.
