PortlMd, Or. fYe'LY a few miles now remain to II link up the Canadian Northern Railway from ocean to ocean," was the statement made by R. Creelman, general passenger agent of the Canadian Northern, while on a visit to Chicago re cently. "The last gap," Mr. Creelman said, "north of Kamloops, In British Co lumbia, Is being closed up at the rate of nearly .three miles a day and the final linking up of the unbroken line of steel from the Atlantic to the Pacific should take place before the end of this month. "It still lacks more than four years of a half century since the Union Pacific and the Central Pacific first linked up the two oceans, forming the first continuous all-rail route across the continent. By 1885 the Canadian Pacific was completed. The Canadian Northern is the latest of the transcontinentals, probably the last in our generation, and plans are now In progress to drive Its golden spike within a few weeks. "It Is noteworthy in this connection that the Canadian Northern crosses the continent with the lowest grade of any American transcontinental. The line ex tends from Quebec, where connection is made with its own line of Atlantic steam ships, through the principal cities of Can ada Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Port Ar thur, Winnipeg, Reglna, Edmonton, Cal gary right through to Vancouver, on the Pacific. It spans millions of rich agri cultural land In Western Canada never tapped by a railway line, besides large timber and mineral resources hitherto In accessible owing to lack of transportation. "The Canadian Northern is also build ing a line from Victoria, on Vancouver Island, to the northern part of the Island. Connections with the mainland at Van couver will be established by huge car ferries which will ply to Patrica Bay, from which a line now runs to Victoria." While the main line Is approximately 3100 miles from Quebec to Vancouver, the feeders Increase the total mileage of the system to slightly over 9000 miles, nearly two-thirds of which has been in operation for a number of years. "The completed transcontinental will be a monument to the entrprise of two long-famous railroad builders, Sir Will lam Mackenzie and Sir Donald Mann. Their first experience in railroad build- ' ing came with the construction of the Canadian Pacific 30 years ago. Since 1896 they have been actively engaged on the Canadian Northern system, pushing its lines into every part of Canada, and whose slogan "Ocean to Ocean by 1915" Is now about to come true. Mr. Creel man concluded by saying that through passenger and freight traffic would, un doubtedly, be established on the entire line some time this Summer. New Lease Law for Summer Homes in National Forests ACCORDING to the terms of the agri cultural appropriation act recently passed by Congress, It U now possible for responsible persons to lease, for periods not exceeding 30 years, not to exceed five-acre tracts within the National for ests for the construction of Summer homes, hotels, stores, or other recreation or public conveniences. This announce ment was made recently by the District Forester at Portland, Or. Heretofore, camping sites, hotel sites and the like could be rented, at a nomin al fee, under special use permit. While this permit was given foixan indefinite period, It was revocable in the discretion of the department. Under the terms of the new law, how ever, such sites may be leased for a term of years and the lease can be canceled only for a violation of Its provisions. It Is of course, optional with the applicant whether he obtains his camping Bite under special use permit or under lease. It is obvious that a man desiring to secure a location in the forest for a Summer hotel would feel that his investment was better protected by a lease. It should be understood that this lease law Is not a homestead law In any sense, and the title to the land remains with the Government. At the expiration of the lease unless renewed, the lands will re vert to the Government. The improve ments, however, may be disposed of by the owner as provided in the lease. The Secretary has uo authority under this law to Issue patents. Many people have already availed them selves of the camping site privilege, and as a result there are many Summer homes within the National forests, of the North west. There are still many scattered lots and some surveyed tracts which offer splendid opportunities for recreation grounds In the forests ot Washington and Oregon, notably in such localities as Klamath Lake, Oregon; Lake Chelan, Lake Keechelus, Lake Queniult and Cres cent Lake, Washington. It is expected that the Secretary of Ag. rlculture will approve, In the near future, regulations which will effectively carry out the provisions of this law.
