V.V.&E. people had a lively time at Curlew yesterday. This i* a case where the shoe is on the other foot, and is a condition which was foreshadowed in The Hyp ening Sun a few days since. The Hot Air folks so far have had everything their own way on Canadian soil, but it will l)B different on American soil, and Mr. Holland may find he has been more hasty than" wise. It appears that Saturday night a Hot Air force put up a trestle over the V.V;& E. track or survey at Curlew, the men working all nisrht to .$0 it. When this was discovered by; the V.V.&E. men. the fikct was telegarphed to hrad- quarters cjf the_G.rea|i Northern, ,i.a,nd a wire camel back to tear it down.
