Lewaey Co end every preparation is being made for a very active summer in the attempt to solve the question of which la the best course to adopt in penetrating the bar rier which - shuts British Columbia oft from the wheat fields. - i It transpires that the attempt to de cide upon tbe pass to be used is not the whole question which the Grand Trunk Paolfio will try - to solve this coming summer. . There will be a very . active campaign In the province of British Co lumbia, where the route across the prov rnce Temiuns yet lo"be 'setttwfc We the opening of the spring all will be activity in this province with respect to this company a survey work. - Supplies for the parties which will be put in the field are being got together and- will be sent into the northern In terior of the province to the points which are considered the best as sources of supply to thoss in the-field.- H is Intended to eend considerable quanti ties up the Skeena liver on the open' Ing of navigation. By the time tbe country ia in a condition to permit of it there will be about six parties. It Is said, take the field in an -endeavor to find the most feasible route from the coast to the mountains. There seems to be a general under standing among railway, men that tbe company will reach a point somewhere near Fort George, where the Nechaco river Joins the Fraaer. It matters not whether the northern passes are those from - which the selection ef a means of getting through the mountains is made or whether the more southern one of the Tellowhead la the choice, the railway line will probably head from the mountains toward , Fort George. From this latter point the road will, It Is expected, go by way of the Bulk ley valley In the dlreotion of Haselton. There can be little yloubt that the line Will pass by way of the Bulkley valley In consequence of those prominently associated .with the road being deep ly interested In coal lands In that part of the province. The part of , the route about which there seems to be the moet doubt at present and which has yet ' to be defi nitely Battled is the pass through' the mountains and the link from that to a point near the confluence of the Nechaco and the Fraser rivers. So settled does - it seem to have be come that the -line will reach the in terior of the prov I nee about Fort George that several companies which have in corporated at the present session of the legislature - have - made that point an objective point la order to connect with the Grand Trunk, raoine at tnat piece. It Is now understood that with the prairie sections of the line well in hand, as far as survey's ars concerned, . the company intends this summer to make the British Columbia end of the scheme Its objective point. - The country to be opened up1n British Columbia is one of the most trying cnaracter lor sur vey work. Little information is obtain able except by actual Inspection by tbe survey- partlea- There ere no settle ments of any account in this part of the province. Bupplles have . to be packed long dlatancee and the. character of -the country Is altogether against them. The Grand Trunk Padflo is determined to get the beet route which Is available, and for that purp" will make a very complete -survey before finally deciding upon the road to be taken. With sla parties In the field this 'summer the company should be in a position to de cide upon the best route at ths close of the ewmon. ' " ' m BBS OOTTOX STB TXT. '.-!
