wo only get half what we promised to pay for it nils theory as theory of the Government will go In with the fall conviction that the Dominion Minis ters have undertaken a task altogether Istyond their capacity and that sooner they hand over the whole con cern to the authorities at Washington the better for the colonists of the North West the better for tax payers of Ontario and the hotter for the credit of all concerned But why should Gaits theory of making the Pauls tho highway into Ruperts Land be ac cepted Why should the Government give any coloring to tho belief that there is to be any temporizing on this great question On grounds of econ omy it is preposterous to plead for delay By Mr Dawsons estimate an available highway fourfifths of it water communication can bo opened up for
