Iheir claim, the Crow's Nesl, deal ami liic successful opposition lo llic Cm bin charter, is given as pi oof of iln* same, Those who are so ready lo condemn the Dominion government, in this respect, are the very ones who so siren* erously fought againsl.

P. R, POLICY, Much speculation is being Indulged in by ihnse who arc Inlerested in thu movements oflhc C. P. It. in lliis district. For snine lime it was considered that the Columbia and Western would be extended from Rohson in .Miiiway, and that hi this poinl connection would be made with the Vancouver, Vieloria -•and Eastern Railway, but it, looks now as if some'itlier moveuii'iil is contemplated, and lhat IheO.

If the former, then connection would be made with their slcamltoat service on Okanagan lake, and if wilh the latter, then wfiuld railway couiiectiun be made wilh tbdjShuswap and Okanagan railway, which runs from Vernon and joins ihe C. P. R, main line ut Sicamous, That some such movement Is contemplated is adduced from the fact that active surveying operations are being eat ried on to the wesl of Midway, and as Ihese operations are lo extend throughout the wilder anil are tn he confined lo lhe valley of lhe Kellle river, until the height of laud is reached which divides lhe valley of lllc said river from Ihal of lhe Okanagnn, lliere would seem to he room for lhe conjecture referred in.
