sult. by the season of the %heat rush
the troth() t( all the south-west
lines will have been diverted from

relieved of tho congestion of cars
from South-western llinnituba, while
the main line between Winnipeg 1114

handling bark of the trains of empty
cars. The new link will extend from
Emerson, at rho boundary, to Vas-
sar, on the main line between Winni-

to the border. It is expected that
the line will be ready for the wheat
