One of the conditions on which Bri- tish Columbia entered the Dominion of Canada was that a direct railway line should be built connecting west- ern Canada, with the eastern provâ€" inces. The work was begun by the Mackenzie Government and was con- tinued after that government had been defeated by a syndicate of cap- italists, of which the chief men were Canadians. This syndicate was to reâ€" ceive a subsidy of $25,000,000, and also a grant of twentyâ€"five million acres of land in the fertile districts of the northwest. 80 great were the exer- tions» made by this syndicate that the road was opened for general traffic in June 1886. The main line is 2909 miles in length, beginning at Mont- real and ending at Vancouver. From Montreal the line runs to Ottawa, from there north of the great lakes to Port Arthur, then through Winniâ€" peg, Regina and Stephen, in the Rocky Mountains to Vancouver. ___ A SHREVVD FROG.
