Mr. Davis, of Saskatchewan, sup- ported the motion, He contended that the object of the C. I" R. in getting these charters was not to build the lines, but to prevent others frozn building t’hem. CANADIAN PACIFIC CHARTERS. 0n the third reading of the bill "Re- specting the Canadian Pacific Rail- way Company,” Mr. Scott, of West Assinaboia, moved that it be read a third time this day six months. This is the bill granting a charter from Teulon to Sifton’s Landing, but mak- ing it conditional upon the company first constructing a line from Teu- lon to Gimli. The contention advanc- ed by Mr. Scott was that the Canadian Pacific railway already holds charters for several branch lines in Manitoba and the Territories, and that they should be compelled to construct these vice we have received from our law officer, it is very hard to main- tain that the boundary runs up the Clarence channel. The treaty gays, in so many words, the Portland canal, but there is a difference of opinion between the Americans and ourselves as to where the channel is. We claim that it is. west of l’earse Island; they claim that it is‘ Observatory inlet. As to endeavouring to Ihave the line pass along Clarence channel, which is a ‘pretension Mr. Begg has often sub- fmitted to me, Ido not think anyone who will take a careful view of the matter can be- convinced of the cor- rectness of that pretension. The point on which we and the Americans do not agree is as to what is Portland chan- nel. They want to make it run up Observatory inlet, and then to the west, making out that Observatory inlet is only a small inlet running into the interior. We, on the other hand, contend that Portland canal is as it is described on the ‘map at Van- couver, on which the treaty of 1825 seems to have been based, namely, all that channel of water which runs west of Pearse island. ‘. pi'39'i'mv" â€"' t. f f ALASKAN BOUNDARY. ,‘ . Colonel Prior brought up the ques- tion of the manner in which the Al- askan boundary. line was marlied on the map of the Dominion of Canada which was sent to the Paris Exposi- tion. He had been informed last year ' by the Minister of Agriculture that the boundary was marked both ways, so an to show the claim both of Canada and the United States. Recently- however, he had received a letter from Mr. Begg. of British Columbia, who had communicated with Mr. Bremner, who saw, the man at Paris, and Mr. Bremner stated that the only boundary marked was that in accord- ance with the American contention. Col. Prior wanted to know, what was the truth of the matter, and also whether the map was to be exhibited at Glasgow in its present condition. Sir Wilfrid Laurier.-â€"I shall call the attention of my colleague, the Minister of Agriculture, 10 the rep- resentations of my hon. friend.
