Canadian Northern Ry.—The C.N.R. boiler room wing of the Winnipeg repair shops was destroyed by fire Dec. 7. The total loss, including a locomotive undergoing repairs, and the machinery, is estimated at about $100,000.

Plans have been filed at Ottawa for an extension from south of Neepawa, Man., to the point where the Edmonton line crosses the South Saskatchewan River near Saskatoon, Sask.

A survey is being made for a line from. Battleford northeasterly to Prince Albert, the object of which is to connect the two main sections of the line, and so provide a short line from Edmonton with the line under construction towards Hudson Bay. Of this line, which starts at Etioniami, Sask., track has been laid for 43 miles, and the grading for the remaining 46 miles to Pas Mission has practically been completed. This will be finished and the line opened for traffic next season. The survey parties were reported to be still in the field between Pas Mission and Fort Churchill, at the end of Dec.
