Canadian Railroad Expert- Goes
to Panama to Study Possi
bilities of Route.
Tile idea of. I lie Panama-lo
Alaska railroad lias taken hold in
British Columbia, and Mr. Ben
nett, a Canadian expert, has been
sen) to Panama to obtain data
for the proposed all-rail com
munication between the Isthmus
of Panama and Alaska. The
British Columbia government lias
taken up tlic matter with the Do
minion government and negotia
tions are now progressing be
tween the Dominion government*
and the United States.
“Work on the Pacific Great
Eastern Railway from Vancouver
City to Fort George is in hand
BOW,” said Mr. Bennett, “and its
extension through the Yukon ter
ritory to the Alaskan boundary,
toward which, $40,000,Odd has al
ready been appropriated, is the
first link in the chain that will
unite the north with the sorbic
“Until Alaska gets direct rail
connection with the south it must
continue ou isolated zone. While
the expenditure of funds lately
provided by the American con
gross win assist local ucvciup
nii'iit, in Alaska, such develnp
incnt can only continue in a cir
cumscribed zone unless connec
tion with the south is provided.
“To build from tile Peace riv
er to Alaska will call for an in
vestment of from forty to sixty
millions. The government of
British Columbia plans lo have
the Canadian and United Slates
governments guarantee' company
bonds sullicient to carry oul the
work and enter into an agree
ment with the Pacific (treat East
ern Railway company for Ihe
ronstrurlion and operation of the
line.
“The road can be projected j
through a country thoroughly
adapted to successful mining,
timbering and agricultural de
velopment apart from its great
scenic tourist-all racting and
sporting values, and it can be :
built and in operation within four]
years. j
“A project of so great inter- i
national advantage and import- ]
mice should he easy of consum- |
malion if a treaty be devised pro. ]
viding for I lie building of t he j
road and its operation with full
protection of American interests.
“Wihen it is considered t hat the
province of British Columbia I
alone proposes lo answer for Ihe
building of Ihe lirsl 700 mile sec
tion this should he sufficient war
rant for Ihe larger authorities
undertaking Ihe completion of
the plan.”
