That later information has shown that it would be in the public interest that the route of the Railway from the neighbourhood of the Tete .Jaune Cache should be towards Burrard Inlet. The Minister therefore recommends that the of the railroad shall be defined generally as passing from the neighbourhood of the Tete Jaune Cache, by the Albreda, to the North Thompson River, tow ' Kamloops Lake to the Fraser Valley at Lytton, thence descending the valley of the Fraser, by Yale *nd New Westminster, to Port Moody or such other point on or near Burrard Inlet as may be found most ■convenient for the purpose of harbour accomodation.
