A new route for the Pacific Great Eastern Railway from Quesnel to Prince George has been selected by government en- gineers and will be made the subject of an immediate report to the cabinet, Hon. F. P. Burden acting minister of railways, an- nounced on )Vednesday. J. Calloghan, deputy minister who recently located this route, has virtually completed his work, and will return this week to Ed- monton. There he will compile data gathered in the field and submit his lipdings to the gov- erament. EVhile no definite statement has reached the railway depart- ment yet, it is believed hIr. Cal- loghan has decided to recommend drastic changes in the route a8 originally mapped out for the P. G. E. north of Quesnel, and officials here will be surprised ii he does not urge also the line south of that point be relocated. Quesnel being approached by a branch line. Laud Road i~Ianagement hIr. Burd n has returned to his office here after touring the P. G. E. with D. C. Coleman, vice-president of the Canadian Pacific Railway. He is highly satisfied with his trip. "Mr. Coleman told me he was agreeably surprised at the con- dition of the road, as ~vere the other C. P. R. officials," Mr. Bur- den said. "They complimented the management on the way it is running the railway, but beyond that, of course, they made no comment indicating the attitude of their company towards the lme." hIeanivhile officials of the gov- ernment, the C. P. R. and the Canadian National RailNays are preparing here to go into the field to investigate the value of land grants made by the Legis- lature to assist the P. G. E. As announced before, airplanes will he used in this work, through arrangements with the Federal Government. In addition to the two Federal Government planes available at Vancouver, the gov- ernment may arrange with pri- vate companies to supply other machines, hlr. Burden said. Ne- gotiations to this end are under way with two firms noiv. The planes vill be used to explore the northern P. G. E. land grant lying between Prince George and the Peace River country.
