Ottawa, Oct. 18.â€"The National Transâ€" continental Railway Commission have made their report for the last fiseal year. During the twelve months endâ€" ing March 31 last, they expended on the construction of the line between Moneâ€" ton and Winnipeg the sum of $24.892,â€" 72. The whole expenditure to that date totals $51,950,717. At the end of March there were 725 miles graded and 345 miles of track laid. The entire line was under eontraet for construction. An inâ€" teresting feature of the report is conâ€" tained in the"report of Mr. Hugh Lumsâ€" den, the chief engineer, who has since reâ€" signed. Mr. Lumsden calls attention to the dififculty he had in bringing the G. T. P. to the point of submitting to arâ€" bitration the classification of material at points where engineers of the G.T.P. differ from the engineers of the National Transcontimental. On April 21, 1908, Chief Engineer Woods, of the G. T. P., indicated the points where clasification was disputed. _ Mr. Lumsden immediateâ€" ly asked for a board of arbitration. Mr. Woods suggested that he and Mr. Lums:â€" Mr. Lumsden demurred, but finally agreed, and at the end of May the enâ€" gincers of the two companies spent five days on the section of the line in Queâ€" bee. Mr. Lumslen evidently decided that the classification which had been made by his engineers was right, and the contention of the G. T. P. engineers was wrong, for after returning to . Otâ€" tawa he says, "The second of July 1 again wrote Mr. Woods presenting 1~> statements in regard to districts BR ond F, stating that, as my engineers on the ground had actual measurements of maâ€" terial and could produce them, 1 could not agree with him." den should first go over the ground, and see if an agreement could not be reach From this time on Mr. Lumsden bomâ€" barded the G. T. P. with letters and telegrams urging them to agree ‘o the naming of a third arbitrator, so that the disputes could be adjusted. â€"The company delayed until the midd‘le of November, when the snow had cort, and it was impossible to do anything unâ€" til the spring. Mr. Collingwood Schrieâ€" ber was finally agreed upon as arbitraâ€" tor. The result of the examination of the disputed points by Messrs. Lumsd>n, Schrieber and Woods was not happy, for they failed to agree and the resigâ€" nation of Mr. Lumsden followed. WHY HE QUIT. He Says Cook Never Reached Top of Mount M‘Kinley.
