C. members v/i 1 pull together. A large number of the members from Ontario, the Northwest territories and the eastern provinces arc favorable to British Columbia, ar.d will-in;: to help ti in any way they can, an:l il • he people themselves in B itush Columbia, or rather t'acir representative would have enough loyally to t ie province to speik togrthor. Mix veil and Mclnnis are so far opposed tothis, and 1 ieg et to say that the Vancouver board of trade has passed a resolution asking the government not to grant this charter, but togrant aid to a road from the Columbiariver through to the coast. Now, as there is not the slightest possibility of the government granting aid to such a railway for the next rive years, you can readily see that this is a coutemptable piece of business on the part of the Vancouver people in trying to prevent the Boundary people from getting a railway because it don’t run trom thetrtown. It is clear to the m;nd of eyery one who knows anything about the situation that the Kettle River Valley railway is the only railway that will give competition to the 0. P. R., So if we can get thatline built into tbp Boundary countrythen the V. V. E road, when it is completed would have connexions, besides the C P. R., y/ith three transcontinental lines, viz, Northern Pacific, Uaion Pacific and the Great Northern. If this charter is blocked this season it will be solely because iVUxweU and Mclnnh, 011 the command of the Victoria and Vancouver people, and the V. V. E. charter mongers, will do so. YuU can well understand that the eastern members of parliament here will not be inclined to support it, if the members from British Columbia and the leading centres there fight it. It appears to me ihat the Boundary country is bring curst d by a lot of pin-headb in Victoria and Vancouver, who arrogate to them the idea that all British Columb a is composed of two place , Victoria and Vancouver, and anything that has nof ns origin or its destination there should be clubbed.Mr. Richard Armstrong, Grand Forks representative, returned from Toronto,where ho has been for the past weekhobnobb.ng with members from that place.Owing to the Ontario election the house has adjourned fora week, consequently it yvill be the latter part of *his week before the railway committee will meet. Between fifteen and twenty members from Ontario and the east who are mprnbets of the railway committee have promised to speak in favor ui the granting of a charter to the Kettle River Valley road.It will be some tirne toward the latter part of trie month before it is known whether or not that the charter is grant*'A,e\3gi ti rA* **HO{**XX «*The C.
