Canadian Northern Ry. construction.

...

M. H. McLeod, Chief Engineer of the C.N.Ry. lines west of Fort Frances, recently returned to Winnipeg from going over the route of the line through Saskatchewan, from Prince Albert to Battleford. Under his direction a small force was put to work grading in some swampy places beyond Erwood so as to facilitate construction in the spring. Final location parties are working between Stoney Creek and Prince Albert, to determine the best point to cross the Saskatchewan river. One report states that the Co. will lay out a town site on the South Saskatchewan, 25 miles south of Prince Albert, the main line proceeding westward and crossing the Qu'Appelle, Long Lake and Saskatchewan Ry., between Hague and Rosthern. Borings and examinations are being made at different points to find a suitable crossing place, but nothing has been decided.
