ment isnothing less than a second

pendous tindertaking involving the
construction of from 2,500- to 3,000
miles of lines, and an expenditure,
including equipment, station, bridge,
elloP. and other facilities., of from
875,000,000 to $100,000,000. Ac-
cording to the present arrangements
• the stew system will run through that
portion pf Northern Ontario fauttliar-
in known as "New Ontario," through
M-anitobta and Saskatchewan, Aesinie
bola. and Alberta, by way of the•
'Peace - River or PineRiver. Pass,
and through British Columbia, Strik-
Mg its terminus on the North Pa-
. •citie coast. Work will be. begun ae
soon as the necessary legislatioa .can
be obtained, and it is expected that
fine year affer the surveys are com-
pleted the big .system will be in oper-
atiou.",

ager of the Grand Trunk Railway,
in making the official announcement
regarding the new steel p•athway,

and possibilities of the Great North-
west were laid before Sir Charles
Rivers Wilson. and Other meinters of
the board in a most comprehensive
and convincing way by the company's
chief executive in Canada, the result
beteg that they are now prepared to..
go right ahead .with. a railroad ex-
tending- from North Bay or. Graven-
hurst, Ont., on the line of the•Grand
Trunk System, to either Butte inlet
or Port Simpson, B. C., as may be
•determined later on,
"No one who has been studying the
wonderful developments that have
taken place in the Northwest during
the last fete years," Said Mr. Trays,can fail. to be deeply impressed
with the growth of that extensive,
and kith. 'territory, and our directors l
hold that in view of the Maparent
need of additional railway facilities,
and in order to guarentee to the
present Grand Trunk System, direct
connection with that very important
and growing section of Canada.,
the only wise policy is to lake
active eteps towards this extension
which, 1 may add, will be commenc-
ed as soon as the necessary legisla-
tion can be obtained from the Gov-
ernment."

New and 'Unexpected Move in the
Coal Strike.
A Scranton, Pa., despatch says
The mine •werrkers, through their re-
Prescsatatives, have agreed with the
mine owners ' to. attempt to 'adjust --
the differences existing between them
outside the onthracite coal. strike
commission. The •propositiOn svas
made on 0 compromise basis, and
negotiating, it is expeeted, will be
at once entered upon, with a reason- .
able hope of settlement with the aid
of the arbitrators. The rough pro-
-position which is to form the basis •
of negotiations is a. ten per mit. in-
creaee in wages, a nine-hdar day, and
trade ag•reements between the miners
and the company by whom they are
employed. The only one of the four
deeaands not touched -upon is that of
weighing of coal by the legal ton.
While both sides have expressed a
willingness to settle their. differences
among themselves, it is not to be
construed that it carries with it the
acceptance of the terms proposed.
They are mentioned only as a basis,'
it is understood,. .from which a
settlement. is to be effected. It dis
possible that the foundation already
laid can be wrecked by either party
holding out too strongly against
some question and thus leave the
whole matter in the hands of the
commissiozers, who in the meantime
will act as a sort of board of con-,
ciliation, rather than as a board of
arbitradion.
