Dept. of Eailways and Canals, Ottawa, Oct. 24th, 1881. Canadian Pacific Eailway, Office of the ENdiNEEK-iNCniEF, Ottawa, 15th Oct, 1881. Sir, — I have the ho.ior to report that the revised location ot the lino for the Canadian Pacific Eailway, between Emory's Bar and Port Moody in British Columbia, is completed, and the preparation of the plans, profiles and specifications far ad- vanced, so much so that I believe I may confidently t^ay they will bo finished about the 1st January next. Tenders for the work can theref ire bo invited at any time thereafter that the (jQvernment may desire. In this connection I may bo permitted to remark that as iho completion and putting under ti-affic of the section now under contract between Kmory's Bar and Ktimloops would not be of the same benefit towards the dcvclop- 48—1 ment of tho resources of the countiy, as i f the whole lino from tide-watei- to KamloopH was in a condition to be operated; and, further, tho construction of the section from Kamloops easterly through tho Rocky Mountains cannot be conducted to tho same advantage without rail communication with tho sea coast, it therefore appears to me important to Lave the section between Emory's and Port Moody completed no later than that portion between Emory's and Kamloops. In order to accomplish this object, I would suggest that authority be given to invito tenders at an early date, thus giving contractors an opportunity of visiting the ground daring tho fine weather and before winter sets in. As tho plans, profiles and specifications will show very clearly tho work roquirod to bo done, 1 recommend that the contract be let under tho " lump sum " system, the contractors being required to carry out all tho works shown and specified in the abovc- namod documents fgr the said "lump sura," but that a schedule of prices be given the tender to be made use of in making additions or deductions from tho lump bum, in case of changes in the work, either reducing or increasing it. 1 have further to state that I am strongly of opinion, it would be in the interest of the economical prosecution of tho work to let it as a whole, in one contract, and for the following reasons recommend that this course be adopted : — First, Because tho rails and fastenings will have to be transported over tlie line from Port Moody. Second, Because such a course will very largely reduce the competition for labor. Third, Because the work is of such a character as will necessitate tho employ- ment of a large amount of plant and rolling stock. 1 have the honor to be, Sir, your obedient servant, COLLINGWOOD SCHRBIBER, Engineer-in-Chief. r. Braun, Esq., Secretary, Department of Railways and Canals. (Memorandum. ) Ottawa, 18th October, 1881. The undersigned has tho honor to rep.-osont tha' the Chief Engineer of tho Canadian Pacific Railway has i-eportcd that tbe revised location of the line to bo followed by that railway between ''^mory's Bar and Port Moody, in British Columbia, a distance of about eighty-five miles, has now been effected, and that the plans, profiles and specifications will, he expects, bo prepared about the Ist of January next. He further reports that iho completion and putting under ti'affic of the section now under contract between Emory's Bar and Kamloops would not be of the same benefit towards the development of the resources of tho country as if the whole force, tide- water to Kamloops, were in a condition to bo operated, and also that the construction of the section from Kamloops, easterly, through the Rocky Mountains, cannot be conducted to the same advantage without rail connection with the eea coast. He, therefore, considers it important to have the section between Emory's Bar and Port Moody completed no later than that portion between Emory's Bar and Kamloops, and advises tho calling of tenders therefor at an early date, in order to afford contrac- tors an opportunit}' of visiting tho ground during fine weather, and before winter sets in.

Sir, — T return pri.ilcd proof of draft contract, lump sum system. This draft I settled after consultation with Mr. Schrielier respecting the details of the work. I have followed the form of contract which has been in use for several yearn, making tho neitessary chatigiM i-equired by the lump sum system instead of that of the schedule of prices. Attention is specially culled to the addition to clause 28, which 1 have prepared at tho suggestion of the ilon. .1. JI. Pope, who was actiig as Minister of Raiiwayn and Canals a few weeks ago. Attention is als) called to clause HC, which is new, but which, I think will ho found of very groat service in certain events. 1 also enclose the printed form of agreement respecting the securities to y a lioavy rail or ridor laid in the arglc above the poatn.

Under this term is included all oxciavations and enibankraontH and surface form- ing, whatever m^y l>o tho matoriab, and whether the same bo required for tho line of railway, or for the diverHion or forming of wator-courHoa, roadw, approaches to bridges or level crossings, draining and ott'-take ditches, station grounds and all other works, contingent upon, or relating to excavations and embankments, as required by the nature of the contract or described in this specilication. Time of commencement and Damage to Crops. 10. In woodland the grading will be commenced after tho clearing, close cutting and grubbing required is compleicd to iho satisfaction of tho Engineer, and in culti- vated sections, the Contractor will bo held responsible for damages to crops. Profil'S, 11. Tho red line on the profile exhibi led, according to drawings .Nos. ^ and 4, in dicatcs tho formation level, that is, the surface of tho tops of embankments and the bottoms of cuttings pievious to the laying and ballasting of the permanent way, Tho black undulating line represents tho present surface of the ground, and the blue lino the level of the top of rail which is Hi inches ubovo formation level. Cuttings. PW lli.^iThe cuttings shall bo formed to the cross-section exhibited according to drawings Nos. 6 and 7. The width at formation level will bo 22 feet, and the incli- nation of the slopes in earth will be one and a half hori.-^ontal to one perpendicular. In lock cuttings the slopes will be, as a rule, one horizontal to four perpendicular. In cuttings partly earth and partly rock, a berm of six feet shall bo loft on the sur- face of the rock. But these proportions may be varied by tho Engineer to suit the nature of the materials to be excavated and ensure the stability of the slopes. Ditches in Cuttings. 13. The whole of the grading shall be carefully formed to the levels given, and the roadway in cuttings shall invariably bo rounded, and left at not less than six inches lower at the sides than in tho centre. There shall be a side ditch at the foot of each slope throughout the whole length of the cuttings, the bottom of which shall be kept 12 inches below tho roadway on the centre lino, and lower if necessary, with a fall towards the ends of the cuttings so as thoroughly to drain the same. The cut- tings shall be widened a little a+, the ends, and these ditches carried into the ditches at the sides of tho embankments, so as not to injure the latter. Drains in Cuttings. 14. In very wet cuttings, arising from springs or soakago, drains shall be formed at the foot of the slopes averaging about four feet deep, formed with a bed of three poles, two to three inches in diameter, laid breaking joint in the bottom of the trench and then filled up with coarse gravel or broken stone not larger than ordinaiy road metal. In level cuttings the trenches must bo dug to a greater depth than four feet at the ends, so as to give sufficient flow for tho water. 15. lion of till flowing fl tho top oj of tho cut water-coul 16.

Thoy shall not bo nearer than twenty* foot from the top of tho slopes, and shall bo graded to such depths as to carry tho wator clear of tho cutting anu into tho ditches at tho sides of tho embankments, or to tho nearest water-course. Slope Drmna. If). Tho cuttings shall, in all cases, during the progress of tho work as well as afterwards, bo kept perfectly dry; and whenovei' tho slopes are wet atwltho material Heriously affoctod by springs, toaks, heavy rains or thaws, they shall bo thoroughly drained by forming oblique drains up tho slopes, not loss than 3 feet doop, and at such intervals as the Engineer may direct ; such drains to bo filled with broken stono or coarse gravel as already described. Slip's. 17. When slips occur in tho cuttings after they are properly formed, tho material must bo immodialoly removed by the Contractoi-, tho slopes ro-formed, and such pro- cautions adopted as tho Kngineer may deem necessary. Embankments. 18. Tho embankments shall bo formed according to drawing No. 8. Tho materials taken from tho cuttings or boirow pits to bo used in forming the embankments and road approaches must bo approved by the Engineer ; ice or snov- must bo excluded. When tho quantity of tho cutting is more than sufHciont to make tho embankment of tho specified width, tho surplus material may bo wasted ; but in every case where either borrowing or wasting is resorted to, tho material must bo taken and deposited as tho Engineer may approve. Logging Embankments. 19. In places where the natural surface of the ground upon which tho embank- ment is to rest, is covered with vegotublo matter which cannot bo burned oU" in clear- ing, and which would, in tho opinion of the Engineer, impair tho work, tho same must bo removed to his entire satisfaction. In tho event of the lino crossing muskegs or morasses, it may be deemed by tho Engineer expedient that a platfoiin of logs shall bo formed under tho embankment, of such width as will extend through and to not less than six feet beyond the side slopes, and 16 inches deep. Tho logs to range from (j inches to 15 inches in diameter, and must be laid close together laterally and also longitudinally, as may bo directed. Under Drains. 20. Where tho embankment is to bo foimed on side hill ground covered with pasture, the ground shall be deeply ploughed before tho work is commenced ; and where the slope is so steep as to endanger tho slipping of tho embankment, benches shall be cut in such a manner u» the Engineer may direct. If the ground is wet or spongy through springs or soaks, it shall first be thoroughly underdrainod as tho Engineer may see expedient. These drains will bo constructed in a similar way to that in which ordinary land drains arc sometimes made. A trench will first be dug to a minimum depth of four feet, and in tho bottom of this trench, four or five cedar or spruce poles about three inches in diameter will first bo laid by hand, breaking joint; over tho poles will then bo placed not less than three feet of small broken stone, not larger than ordinary road metal or good gravel ballast, over which will be .> I 1 %. / 8 deposited Buch material convenient to the place as the Engineer may approve of. The Contractor must find all the material required in these drain?, and do all the worlc described. These drains must always be made with a sufficient longitudinal fall for the easy flow of the water. Allowance for Shrinkage. 21. The embankments shall be lY feet wide at formation level, and the slopes will generally have an inclination of one and a-half horizontal to one perpendicular, but in their formation, whether for the railway or appioaches to bridges or level crossings, ample allowance must in the first instance be made by the Contract •, for all subse- quent settlement or shrinkage, and particularly in the top width ; and for this pur- pose the top, besides being kept higher than the levels given, shall be formed in the first instance wider than the specified dimensioTis, to such extent as may be deemed necessary, according to the height of the embankment and the naturo of the materials of which it is formed, so that whoa it is thoroughly consolidated it will stand at least the full width required. Borrow Pits. 22. 'I'he embankments will bo made up with the materials from the lino cuttings and from side ditches, except where otherwise directed ; when these are insufficiort, the line cuttings will be widened, or materials procured from borrowing pits. All materials placed in the embankments must be approved by the Engineer; no stumps, logs or other perishable or unsuitable material shall bo used, and no material shall bo supplied without his concurrence unt'l the cuttings are completed. Side Bitches. 23. The ditches at the sides of the embankments shall bo cut with slopes not steeper than one and a-half feet base to one foot perpendicular height. The top of the slopes nearest the Eailway shall not be less than six feet from the foot of the embank- ments. These ditches shall bo graded so as to carry off the water to the next natural ■water-course, and where there is so much water as to form a strong current, the ditch shall bo formed as far from the embankment as the Engineer may deem necessary for the safety of the latter. Special attention is called to those long stretches of the line on low lands subject to overflow to the depth of several feet from high floods in the rivers, as shown on the profile ; no side ditches will be allowed in such places, and the embankments will have to be made from the most convenient borrow pits that can bo found at either end. This can only be done by train, and a temporary track will be required. Tn some cnses where the overflow is shallow, as on part of Maria Island, borrow pits may bo dug at intervals, but not nearer the embankment than 50 feet. No continuous ditch will be aflowed as it would form a leading channel tor the jverflow and certainly prove destructive to the embankment within a veiy short period. Berm. 24. In flat sections a berm shall be left between the roadway and ditch of such width as may bo deemed expedient, but it shall in no case bo less than six feet. Where drainago cannot bo conveniently carried ott" by the side ditches, it will be necessary to excavate otl-take ditches to a considerable distance beyond the limits of the Eailway grounds. Those oflT-take ditches shall bo of such widtlis and depths as may be required and directed by the Engineer. They shall be sloped not steeper than one and a-half horizontal ^o one perpendicuiur, and the materials shall bo cast out so as to leave a berm of six feet between the deposit ond the top of the slopes of the ditches. The Contractor shall also construct all other drains and ditches which the Engineer may deem necessary for the pnrfect drainage of the railway and works, lie shall also make all necessary diversions of roads and streams as directed by the Engineer. 25. former si the lattej "Line the lineal through formed ii be excavt] curved, sides as si one foot ll proper inl tunnel anJ about doul shall bo sj 26.

Tho tunnelling will consist of " Line Tunnels" and " Stream Tunnels ; " the former shall be formed to an exact minimum section according to drawing i^o. 9, and tho laUer to drawing No. 10. For tho purpose of tendering, tho sectional area of "Line Tunnels" shall bo calculated at 405 superficial feet, equal to 15 cubic yards to the lineal foot of tunnel. Tho " Stream Tunnels," where formed, shall bo driven through the solid rock which in sOmo places forms tho sides of ravines ; thoy must bo formed in tho manner to bo pointed out in each case. Open cuttings at the ends will be excavated, to give an easy flow to tho water; these open cuttings may bo slightly curved, but tho tunnels proper must be perfectly straight from end to end, with the sides as smooth as practicable. The up-stream end in each tunnel must generally bo one foot lower than the bed of tho stream opposite, and ihoy must bo driven with a proper inclination. Care must be taken to leave a solid pillar of rock between the tunnel and tho sides of the ravine, equal (except in special cases) to not less than about double tho diameter of tho tunnel. The thickness of solid rock over tho tunnol shall bo similarly proportioned. Qrib Wharfing. 26. Crib wharfing will have to be resorted to at some points as noted on profile according to general drawing No, 42. Rip-rap. 27. Whenever the slopes of tho embankments aro liable to be washed by the overflow of streams, they will require to be protected by a ri[»-ra|)wall of stones care- fully laid by hand to such thickness and height us may bo directed by the Engineer, generally about 18 inches above high water level. Rock Facing. 28. Special attention is called to those long stretches of embankment to bo made on low lands subject to overflow to a considerable depth. Tho slopes of tho.-o will require to bo protected with rock facing, tho stones tor which will have to bo quar- ried and brought by train or by water from a considerable distance. 29. The tide and will hand.

At all public roadways, cattle-guards will be established and will be con- structed according to drawing No. IH The roadway between cattle-guards will be planked and the public road properly graded and gravelled as far as tho limits of the railway right of way. Under this beading tho bridging of side ditches, foii''os from cattle-gua'ds to the line fences of the Railway, also post and sign board, .■uid every- thing necessary to complete the crossing, will be embraced. The fences conRcting cattle-guards with right of way fences, will be post and board, or post and wire as per drawings. Farm Crossings. They 'i\ AMI 10 Temporary Boads. 32. Eoads constructed to and I'rom any point on the line of Eailway for the con- venience of the Contractor, for the conveyance of material or otherwise, must be at his own risk, cost and charges.

Wherever the line is intersected by public or private roads, the Con- tractor must keep open at his own cost convenient passing places, and he shall be hold responsible for keeping all crossings during the progress of the works in such condition as will enable the public to use them with perfect safety, and such as will give rii^o to no just /ground for complaint. Contractors will be held liable for any damages resulting from negligence on their part or that of their men. Truss Bridges. 34. The Eailway will in most cases bo carried over the larger streams by wooden puperstructures, supported on abutmonis and piers, of timber framing on pile foundations. The pile foundation will, wherever practicable, be made suitable for permanent structures. Crib Work. 35. In some cases crib abutments and piers filled with stone may be allowed. The cribs must be constructed in the most substantial manner of tamarac or other suitable timber; outside timbers to be not less than 12 inches square, halved together at the angles*, and properl}' secured with drift bolts of iron ; the ties may bo of flatted timber, dovetailed into face timbers and bolted. The sloping faces of the cutwaters to piers must bo of square timber laid with one side in the line of the rake of the cut- water, and be halved at angloj: ; the faces of the cutwaters will be covered with hardwood timber 8 inches thick, well fastened to the crib work with spikes or rag- bolts. The whole of the abutments and piers to be finished in accordance with plans, and to the ^atisfaction of the Engineer. Superstructures of Timber. 36. The superstructures will bo of the most approved Howe or Pony Truss pat- tern, the former built of Douglas fir of approved quality, with cast-iron or white oak keys, oast iron prisms and wrought iron rods with up-set ends, the whole to be first- class material and workmanship. The parts that are inaccessible after the structures are erected, are to receive one good coat of paint of approved quality as soon as framed, and a second coat when the work is put together. Drawings Nos. 20, 21, 22, 23 and 21 are prepared to suit each Bj)an or bridge, and to which the Contractor must work. These bi idges must be executed in a tlioroughlj'^ substantial and work- manlike manner, and shall bo completed in every respect, including painting. Pile Bridges. 37. Wheiover the circumstances of the case require the adoption of bridges on piles, tiicy will be erected according to the following, drawing No. 19, or special drawing. Each bent will be composed of piles, as shown in the drawings. The piles shall beoftamarae, Douglas fir, or other approved timber, and of sufficient size at the butt or larger end to square not less thau 12 inches, and for long piles 14 inches. They must be perfectly sound and straight, sawed or hewed to these dimensions, and bo of sucli longliis as circunisiancos may require. The piles must be driven by a liainmor weighing 1,500 lbs. or upwiinls, until they roach perfectly firm ground, They will generally bo tested by the hammer falling 24 foot at the last blow, under which they should not yield more than two inches. Care must be taken to have them dr them, gradual 1_ sawed oi end.

The structui'es for the passage of small streams, or for crossing dry ravines, will. generally be trestle work built in accordance with the general drawings Nos. 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18. Tho timber used in these bents may be Douglas tir, pine, tamarac, or other suitable timber, in proportions approved by the Engineer, and of tho dimensions shown on tho drawings. They will bo set on mud sills placed in trenches of sufficient depth to insure a foundation that will not be affected by frost or the wash of the streams, and when projjorly levelled as to the grade height, &c., earth and stones shall bo firmly packed round them. Tho bents will bo spanned by stringers as described abovj for pile bridges. Ln marshy or springy ground, a sin- gle or double row of piles shall bo driven for each bent. The piles will average not less tbnn 12 inches diameter, of suitable timber approved by the Engineer and driven homo so as to afford a secure foundation. Log Culverts. 39. In some cases log culverts will be adopted according to the general draw- ings. No. 25. Masonry. When to 6t Commenced. 40. The masonry shall not be started at any poin* before the foundation has been properly prepared, nor until it has boon examined ai;d approved by tlio Engi- neer, nor until the Contractor has provided a sufficient quantity of proper ninterials and plant to enable the work to bo proceeded with regularly and syttematically. Stone. 41. The stone used in all masonry on the line of Railway must be of a durabio character, largo, well proportioned, and well adapted for tho construction of sub- t^lantial and i)ermaiient structures ; parties tendering must satisfy themselves as to whore fitting material for the masoniy c in be most conveniently procured. Bridge and retaining wall Masonry. 42. Bridge and nearly vertical retaining wall masonry, shall generally bo in regular courses of largo, well-shaped stones, laid on their natural beds; tho bods and vertical joints will bo dressed, ^o as to form (juarter-inch joints. The vertical joints will be dressed back square 9 inches, tbe bods will bo dressed perl'octly i)aiallel throughout.

The bed stones for girders shall bo the lest description of sound stone, free from drys or fiaws of any kind, they must be not less than 12 inches in depth for the smaller bridges, and eight feet suporticinl area on the bed. The larger bridges will require bed stones of iiroportioiiately greater weight; these stones sliall bo solidly and carefully placed in position, so that the bridge will sit fair on the middle of the stones. Backing and Bond. 48. The backing will consist of flat-bedded stone, well shaped, having an area of bed equal to four superficial feet or more. Mxcopt in high piers or abutments, two thicknesses of backing stone, but not more, will be allowed in each course, and their joints must not exceed that of the face work. In special cases, where deemed neces- sary by tlie Kiigineer to insure stability, the backing shall be in one thickness; tl.o beds must, if necessary, bo scabbled off, so as to give a solid bearing. No pinning will be admitted. Between the backing and face stones there must be a good square joint, not oxieoding one inch in wiilth, and the face stones must be scabbled otf to allow this, in walls over three tcet in thickness, headers will bo built in front and back alternately, and great care must be taken in tho arjangement of the joints so as to give ])Hri'ect bond. Culvert Mitsotirif, general description. 4H. Culvorf masonry shall be built of good, sound, large flat-bedded stone^, laid in horizontal bods. It may bo known as i?andoni, or broken coursed work. Tho stones employed in this class of masonry will generally be not less in area of bed than thre(! sujwrficial feet, nor loss in ihickrifss than eight inches^, and they must be dressed so as to give good beds with half inch joints, in smaller structures, and in cases where stones of good size and thickness cannot be had, they may, if in other resjiects suitable, bo admitted as thin as five inches. All stones must be laid on ihoir natuial beds. Headers and Stretchers. •0. Headers shall be built in thn wall, from fi'ont and back allertuitely, at least one in every live feet in lino of wall, and frequently in tho rise of wall. In tho 13 gmallcflt structures hoadors shall not be loss than twenty-fiuir inches in length, and the minimum bed allowed for 8trotch«rs nhail bo twelve inches. In tlic larger titriictures all stones munt bo heavier in proportion, Evei-y attention must ho paid to produce a perfect bond, and to give the wliole a strong, neat, workmanlike linish. Coping and Covering. 51. Wing walls will generally be finished with steps, formed of sound, durable stone, and not less than from 10 to 12 inches thick, and 6 feet superficial area; other walls will be covered with copingof a similar thickness, and of seven feet or upwards, superficial area. These coverings will be neatly dressed when required, and as may be directed. The walls of the box culverts will bo finished with stones the full thickness of wall, and the covers will be from 10 to 15 inches thick, according to the span ; they must have a bearing of at least 12 inches on each wall, and they must be fitted sufficiently close together to prevent the earth from falling through.

Your obedient servant, A.DRUJIMOND, Manwjer. Bask of Mo-ntukal, Ottawa, llth February, 1882, Tiio Manager, Montreal. "Dear Sik, — I have your letter of the 10th instant in re McDonald ami Charlc- liois' checjue. The enquiry by telegram on tith instant was by ro(juo4 of Mr. Bradley, Secretary to the Minister, who called and exhibited the cheque stamped as good for two days only, from 2'lth ult. He desired to know it it was still good merely, i)ut wh.le tele- f;;raphing for a special reply from you as to this, in oidor to inform the Dejiarlnienl, I said 1 wou'd further ask for how long it would be held so. This, ho said, L might do at s,i mo time, although his enquiry was only if it was still good. " On receipt of your reply that it was bo, and would bo good until paid, I wont over persoually to the Department and raoiJtiono«J your roplj' to tho Secretary. 54 «" ■ ■■■..,... . .. . , ,., ,. g^,^ " Tho cheque I did not again see, but by req^uest I loft your tologram with him as tho authority to deal with or treat the cheque as it stated. " I had no knowledge at tho time jis to whether any decision or not had boon arrived at in re-pect of the tenders to which the cheque had reference, and which wore i;ivon in and opened on the 1st instant, nor until the 9th was I made aware that it had been awarded to Mr. Onderdonk, by iiis calling hero in reference to his security through head oflBce. " I naturally infurrod, after leaving your telegram with the Department, that it would bo qiiilo sati.^iuctory, and that, a.s authorizod, the restriction clause would bn struck out; but I infer, Irom an expression of tho Deputy Minister yesterday, thai while in their jwssession, it was held futh an alteration of tho terms could not legally be done, and that the cheque at the time of opening tenders was iufoi'mal, from tho time it was limited to having previously elapsed. " I presume, therefore, that under the circumstances their tender, under tho regulations, was excluded from consideration. " The ditt'crenco is not great, however, between their tender and that of OiuIl - donk, and both being low, they might have had an unprofitable or losing contract, while he, having a large amount ot plant there already, could make it pay with his appliances and means. " Mr. McDonald, along with Judge Coureol, called this morning about tho matter, apparently desirous to remove any impression with the Department that tho cheque was BO limited with any design on their part.

Thr.t the specification supplied to intending contractors, and' upon which they based their ofl'ers, contained in its 92nd clause provision respecting a cheque to Le fnrnished with the tender, the clause reading as follows : — '• 92.
