The engineers are new engaged on the next extension, which will be from Levis to Moncton, thence east, and from Winnipeg to Calgary, and EdAmonton â€"thence west. This work is now on, and it is expected that experts will be in a position to make further tests by the end of the present week. In the event of these tests proving successâ€" ful, and it being found practicable to equalize the lines for broadcast transâ€" mission, the next test was made on Sunday, June 26th, when the main line was established from Calgary to Vancouver, over the €.P.R. and B.

We are glad to notice that the Crown has made a reservation of one mile on each side of the trunk road from Widdifield to. Latchford, and alâ€" though it is not called a game pre serve_ it is likely that it will in the end be a game preserve. In any event tioan.‘ Anything that will make the North Land highway more convenient and acceptable to tourists and others is a matter worthy of consideration. Acâ€" cordingly the proposal that trails be cut from the highway to the T. N.O. stations nearby; so that if a motorist meets with a mishap he can get to the telephone and telegraph, is deserving of some special attention. In a disâ€" cussion of the new highway The New Liskeard Speaker makes this suggestâ€" ion.
