The Winnipeg Sun has been interviewing Superintendent Ejan, of the 0. P. R. with regard to the recent reports concerning the mountain passes. Mr. Egan made some statements which seem.tn throw considerable light on the matter.' He said that it was only the graders who were discharged, tlieir work being done for the season. Work; he said, would go on until the summit had been reached, which would be some time in December. Ho was asked 'f"Hl">re had not been some disagreement among .the engineers respecting lhe passes, and he replied as fellows: "Yes, but that is on the other aide of the summit, There seems to be a misapprehension about the matter. I'll explain it to you, No. trouble was experienced going up tbe Hooky Mountain range.' We had the Bow Kiver pass, and the gradients were very light, so that we had an excellent line clear to the summit. Now I want to tell you positively that there is no pass through the Selkirk range. It lias to be crossed in the same manner as any other mountain. The truck must go up one Bide and down the other. So far as the range is concerned, there will be no difficulty in crossing, ns tho gradients will not be very great. The talk is all about the pass to be adopted in going down the west side of the Rocky Mountain range…
