Canadian Paclfto Interests are ' at the same time shortening that com' pany's transcontinental route,' and are ' rapidly shaping affairs to Invade Hill "territory. - ',.. .' ' The work of the Grand Trunk Pa . clflc In Canada has been' first in public attention, as It is destined to open a far northern route across the continent, and establish a great -Pacific port near the , boundary of southeastern Alaska. This company haa let contracts for about 1.009 miles of work, mostly on the, lake Superior and eastern sections.".' Heavy forces of men will be engaged as long .during the winter as' it is possible. to -work, and the exhaustive surveys that have been made the past summer on the Paelflc division of the road open it to ' construction next year..
