Kirkpatrick moved for the report of the engineers memorials Etc., relating to the Survey and location of the Pacific rail Way Between the red River and Battleford. Lie referred to the importance of the ques Tion of the settlement of the country the Superior nature of the lands South of Lake Manitoba and said he would like to see the location changed. In regard to the Tele graph line the surveyors had stated it would pass through a Prairie country whereas for _ a Hundred and forty Miles it passed through j a dense Wood. Or. Ryan argued in favor of making a change in the line. He said unless this done Marquette would be left without Railroad communication except what Pri vate Enterprise supplied. At present farm ers in the country Laboured under great Dis advantages. On National grounds not Sim ply on local he thought a change should be . He did not agree with the propositions of the Premier in 1875 As to his Rea sons leading him to change the route. He cited authorities in support of his position and trusted the government would recon Sider their decision. Or. Mackenzie said that or. Ryan stated very correctly that the location of the Paci fic railway should be governed by considerations of policy As Well As of engineering but these questions were sometimes closely connected. The idea had been to make the main Road As Short As possible and to follow the direction of the arable lauds found in the North West territories. Except for the first one Hundred Miles tie Northern route offered the greatest advantages for Settle ment. Or. Ryan had charged him with speaking what was not True. The state inputs he had were not his but those of the engineers persons who had traversed the line. Hon. Gentlemen had stated that the muskets East where much greater than to the West of red River. The profile of the adopted route was very favourable while that of the Southern route presented Many difficulties one a River 250 feet below the general level of the Prairie. To Cross another the Road would have to be length ened nine Miles. As to what or. Jarvis had said which had been quoted they had season to believe what was said before Tho committee. The government were bound to consider local interests so lung As they did not conflict with Tho general inter i. Kirkpatrick had Light of the increasing of the length of the Road by Twenty Miles but the House must remember that this would entail an expense of two dollars to every passenger for time and from Twenty to thirty cents per ton for freight. The information offered by or. Fleming and or. Marcus Smith had not been impugned. The government had no Rea son to believe they had a mistake. If led astray they would not hesitate to Correct themselves. In the interest of the Public they protested against the tone of or. Ryan s speech and considered his state ments were not sufficient to induce the government to sacrifice the contrary statements of messes. Rowan and Mcleod regarding the Northern route showing that the reports about muskets were untrue and that there was an equally Fertile country. The govern ment Hod done everything in their Power to obtain information As to the two routes and Uhny had chosen the course believed to be in the general interest of the country. In reply to or. Tupper or. Mackenzie stated that the Road had been located but so Jong As it was not actually constructed if it was Felt that the engineers had Iny mistake it was quite possible yet. With the Sanction of parliament to make a deviation. It would have been useless to make or. Smith pass Over the country unless the government believed the change was possible if found desirable by or. Smith. Or. Trow South Perth spoke generally in favor of the Southern route. Or. Kirkpatrick expressed his satisfaction at learning that the government might Yot change the route. He was still speak ing when the House adjourned. Ottawa March 1. The discussion of the Pacific railway route renewed yesterday. Or. Kirkpatrick finished his speech. Or. Mackenzie replied going Over the same ground As previously. Nothing new was elicited. After recess an excited discussion ensued on the motion of or. Langevin for correspondence on the letting of contracts for the Welland canal.
