New Road Open Soon From Winnipeg to Rockies
Ottawa Collingwood Schrieber, government consulting engineer, said the transcontinental railway from Winnipeg to Prince Rupert is nearly fully contracted with about 500 miles of mountain section remaining. The prairie portion to the Rockies will be open next fall, with rails near Winnipeg and the Battle River to Edmonton largely graded. Labor supply is adequate and contractor progress has improved since last year, though a mile long bridge over the Battle River delays opening to Edmonton.

Clerical Protest Over Mass Event at Tercentenary
Rev Dr Gordon of the First Baptist Church urged caution on including a high mass service on the Plains of Abraham as part of the Dominion Tercentenary plans on August 26. He argued that a national display should not echo a denomination and provoke Protestant objections, especially among Baptists and Presbyterians, though a local observance might be acceptable. The matter was left for further consideration.

Northern Limit For Wheat in Canada Map Reveals Growth
A special railway map edition from the department of the terror shows Western Canada’s surveyed area at 120,000,000 acres in 1904, versus 4,500,000 in 1873. It notes wheat grown north of the surveyed zone and compares Tobolsk Russia’s 1890s output to illustrate potential northern development. The study suggests wheat may advance far beyond former northern limits due to daylight and altitude.
