"The road cannot., be completed ' he fore 1814 at the closest, under present labor conditions." he continued. "It is apparent that white men cannot be ob i ' tained, for they are not In the country, ' and it is a Question whether relaxation : of the Immigration laws permitting the entry of American labor is going to wake any difference.. With men so scarce I can .see no legitimate objeo- - tion to Oriental libor. "Tha total pay roll on the Grand Trunk on the division east of Prince Rupert now carries S 200 names.

A coast line extends north' s far as Trinidad, a few miles north of Eureka, the most prominent city along tlie northern California" coast, but it Is held that even with this line extended to Crescent City, Portland will be at an cities to the south. In Josephine county the line will be of Immense benefit to the mining dis tricts, which have been developing slow ly because of their inaccessibility. But with a railroad through the very heart of the district rapid development Is bound to follow, and it la believed that the company looks for a large share of trafflo from these mining properties.
