 iQOBt couYcnicnt for connection with the Quebec, Montreal, C)ttHwu unk

 Oounty of Ottawa, with power to anmlganmto at some convonicnt fK)iat 
 with the proposed Ottawa and Gatineau Valley llailway. 
 
 For many yeara the people of the (latinoau have virtually b<K)n shut 
 out from rearly access to all the great purchasing and selling centres. 
 Added to this, throughout the mineral districts of BuckingbMUt 
 Wakefield, Denholm, liiut^ks, and other points, it in iuiposaible to 
 develope the country in consequence of the total ul)senc«> of railway corri- 
 munication ; consequently, the iuimenso ■wealth within the very heart of 
 the county ia rendered to a groat extent I'seless. The liCgislature ot" 
 Quebec is asked to grant a cluu-ter for the Ottawa Colonization Bailwajp 
 Company, in order that the scheme n>ay Ix) completed and rendered 
 thoroughly Local as well as Provincial in its character- by giving tim 
 people of the county an outlet at two important j>oints, and furnishing 
 perpetual feeders to the Q. M. O. it O. Ruilw^ay.

 The Ottawa Oolojilzation liailway Uill has received a first and .second 
 reading in tho QuoImjc Provincial rjegislatnre and will jro to Connnitt^e thi.^

 HO as to COUP •; ili'- rivers Aux Lievres anil Gatlneun, i» the County of 
 Ottawa, will jiowof to amalgamate at HOine convenient jwint with the 
 Ottawa and t liitineau Valloy Kail way. 'J'he importance of this enterprise 
 <anrtot be ti'(. highly estimated, as the construction of the two lines, or 
 what may btfUsr he termed the main line and Mineral Branch, would «Jo 
 moi-e for tlif; ('onnty of Ottawa than anything that could j)Ossibly be 
 HUgg^-^ted. We sincerely trust that the l^^gislaturo and Oovemment of 
 Quebec "will do all in tlieir power to promote this most commendable 
 cnt^rpripe. 
 
 From the Montreal Dn'dij Ileruhl, April 7(h. 
 
 We ol)S(!rve that ai Bill has been introduced in the Provinclil Legisla- 
 ture .isking for a charter to construct a railway from some point near 
 Duckingham, on the Q. M. O. «t O. to run through the minorai distriets 
 westward, >'i()ss!iig the Gatinoau, ami amalgamating with the Gatineau 
 Valley Kaihvay. for which a charter has already been granted. Among 
 «he gentlemen promoting this j)rq)ect are Mr. Alonzo Wright, M.P., Mr. 
 .(. M. Currier. M.P., ex-Mayor Mackintosh, Mr. John Cosgrove, Mr. C. 
 (jhIuc, Mr. .1. A. Gouin, ana ot)ier.s, all interested in the county, and va 
 }iavft no doubt they will be successful in their efforts. Both the City of 
 Ott^iwa and City of Montreal will be greatly benefited by the construction 
 <.f such a railway, and as hundreds are interested both in the .-igricultural, 
 nuner.il and lumber resources of the district, tlie enterjJVJM^ when ecm- 
 [Jct'Od should i^cirtainly prove remunerative. 
 
 From the Montrfal Dailif Gazette. 
 
 An enterprise of much importance to the entire Ottawa distritit, a« 
 well as being a feeder to the Q. M. O. A 0. Railway from Ottawa to Mon- 
 treal, is now in course df organization. It is ]iroposed to construct a raihray 
 from the Desert to Hull, thus opening up a magnificent Btretch of timber 
 and agricultural country. At the same time a Bill is now tjcfonj the Pt«- 
 vincial Legislature asking for powers to construct a railway thiough the rkli

 TBineral tlistik'ts of iJin^kliigliain, Poilhuul, WaketieUl aiul Dcnholin, taj)- 
 ping Hie G'atiucau Iiailwav on the west side of the CiutincAii Eiver, and 
 there amalgamating with it. There is no doubt that this line, as a whole* 
 woiiid be of iminonse adviintngo to the pcoide of Ottawa County, arid wonU 
 »t the Kime time open up hirge tracts of hind at present undeveloped. Th* 
 Couiily of Ottawa has suflered from the want of a railway of tliis descrip- 
 tion. Jiud (he promoters thereof should meet witli eveiy cncourngcnient.
