James Bay Ry.—A contract has been let for the construction of about 4 1/2 miles of this line from Québec siding, on the Canada Atlantic Ry., some 3 or 4 miles east of Rose Point, to the town of Parry Sound. Johnston and Beveridge, of Parry Sound, are the contractors, and Ald. S. R. Poulin, of Ottawa, is interested with them. The contract calls for its completion by Oct. 5. The work is heavy, principally rock, with 6 or 7 trestle bridges from 100 to 300 ft. in length. The line was located by H. K. Wicksteed, C.E., who has since gone to Nova Scotia in connection with the Halifax & South-Western Ry., and the construction is under the charge of R. F. Tate, C.E., of Mackenzie, Mann & Co.'s staff.
