BY U'lI.MAM K. Ct'BTIS.
Special Correspondence of The Jstar and the
Chicago Record-HeraId.
RDSON. Canada.
The di.stance front Winnipeg: to the
Pacific ocean by the Grand Trunk Pacific
is 1.7oti miles. Owing to the physical
character of the country the western
livision is subdivided into the Prairie seclion
and the Mountain section, the foruer
extending from Winnipeg via Edmonton
to Wolf Creek. Alberta, a distance
of !?lt> miles, and the latter to
Prince Rltpert. B. C., about SU) miles,
rhis division will be built at the cost of
the company, the government aiding
by guaranteeing first-mortgage bonds,
principal and interest for fifty years, to
i t?- w m. ? c /v/u\ _ ?11 _ __ i i. ?
L li p Fxieni ui a nine vn mt?
Prairie section, and for three-quarters of
whatever the cost per mile may be of the
Mountain section.
The company is to pay the interest on
:he bends issued on the Prairie section
ind guaranteed by the government from
he date of the completion of the road
the interest during construction being
provided for in the cost of construction),
put the government will pay the interest
in the bonds guaranteed by it on the
Mountain section for the first seven
rears after the completion of the line,
vith no recourse on the company for the
nterest so paid. Thereafter the company
will pay the interest on the bonds
guaranteed by the government, with the
?xception, however, that should default
tie made by the company at any time
luring the next succeeding three years
lie government will pay the interest, the
company continuing in full possession of
he property, and at the expiration of ten
rears after the completion of the Mountain
section any default of interest which
nay have been made by the company
md paid by the government will be
?apitalized and be repayable by the company
to the government.
Adapted to Wheat Growing.
The country through which the Prairie
section of the railway will pass, as I
have already said, contains land now
known to be well adapted for the growing
of wheat, which, in extent, is four
times the wheat-growing area of the
I'nited States. This land, now being
apldly taken up by settlers, produces
ich crops the first year of cultivation,
md will furnish a large traffic for the
ailway as rapidly as it can be extended.
The mountain section, however, passing
:hrough mineral deposits and timber, will
euflire a longer time for development,
p.nd. as stated, the government has,
herefore assumed the payment of the inerest
charges under its guarantee. Not
intil ISily will the company be required
o assume this liability beyond the inter st
charges on the one-quarter of the cost
)f construction.
The Grand Trunk Pacific engineers had
hree passes to pick from in laying out
he line to Prince Rupert?the Pine, the
^eace and the Yellowhead. The Pine
iver pass is lower than the Yellowhead,
vhich was selected because it has the adantage
of but one summit, and also beause
it has a better approach from the
ast. Always as one travels westward
>ne expects, when entering the raounains.
to find sharp curves and steep
;rades. There are 110 mountain grades
lere, however, and the rise, twenty-one
eet to the mile, is precisely the same on
lie long approach from Edmonton to the
fellow head pass as it is crossing the
rairies. This is possible here at the
lorth because the Rocky mountains are
10 longer a continuous range. They
>reak up at the Peace river and, through
he broken hills, the engineers were able
0 locate what Is for all practical pur)oses
a level line. Along these grades
nucli of the future wheat of Alberta and
1 little of that grown In Saskatchewan
h expected to find its way to Prince
tupert and thence to Liverpool through
he Panama canal. The easy grades will
nablo this new national highway to
ransport four times the tonnage taken
>v the same hauling power over the avf.ion
tru n?mniui*ii in Hnoc
Skillful Engineering Feats.
The track is already laid to Fitzhugh, at
he suinmit of Yellowhead pass in the
iocky mountains. 'J K) miles west of Ednonton
and 1,114 west of Winnipeg at
in altitude of .">,712 above the sea, which
s reached by an average grade of one
>er cent. To attain this there has been
lome very skillful engineering, and alhough
the country is not rough, valleys
iave been filled up, viaducts have been
milt over gorges and ravines, streams
iave been diverted from their courses,
icrtions of mountains have been blown
lown and shelves Irave been chiseled in
he sides of cliffs in order to lay the rails,
t'ellowhead pass is practically level. The
iscent and descent over the Grand Coninental
divide will scarcely be perceived
iy the passengers who will hereafter folow
that route to and from the Pacific.
Beyond Edmonton there is very little
ettlement. hut stations have been placed
en miles apart, and those that have not
>oen given names are called after the
lumher of miles from the divisional point.

before the Hudson Bay Companymade
it a thoroughfare. It was surveyed
by the Canadian Pacific before the route
of that railway was fixed, and at least
one settler has been living on the old
trail pass for more than thirty years?a
squaw man. a hunter and trapper, who of
late has been raising cattle and cultivating
vegetables to feed the constructions
gangs. He is a squatter and has
no proper title to his ranch, but the government
will undoubtedly recognize Its
rights acquired by long residence.
There are innumerable lakes *11 the

and furnish good fishing and
shooting. Just now the ducks are skimming
over the waters by the thousands
and nobody seems to take any notice of
them. Pioneer "resorters" have been
taking up homesteads on some of the
lakes and building cabins to which they
can retreat In the summer with their
families, and one amateur hotel has already
been opened.
Pass a National Park.
The pass through the mountains is the
center of a government reserve called
Japer Park, beginning 100 miles west of
Edmonton, where the railroad crosses the
Athabasca river and from there following
the Athabasca and the Miette rivers for
lifty-nine miles. The park is ten miles
wide or less, extending from peak to peak
on cither side, and it is inclosed In a
forest reserve of several thousand square
miles. To preserve the timber from tire
and the depredations of thieves a squad
of forest rangers Is always on hand, and
they it Is also required to protect the
scenery, which Is very picturesque and in
places sublime.
There are no foothills; the mountains
are like the climate, which is without
both snrinr and fall. It Jumps from win
ter to summer on schedule time and from
summer to winter. Just as the mountains
shoot up to 10,000 and 12.000 feet
from the level of the prairie. The highest
peak is Mount Robson. which rises
13,000 feet with a three-sided pryamid at
the crest.
The summits of all the mountains are
bold and rugged. Their bases are clothed
with evergreen forests reaching to the
timber line, which is distinctly marked in
every direction. Above it the monsters
are stark naked, but fleecy clouds endeavor
to shield - the modesty and cold
shrouds of eternal snow are wrapped
around their summits.
At first the pass of Yellowhead is wide
and level, set with pretty lakes and divided
by dashing rivers. The Athabasca is
a swift and relentleses stream. The
Miette is much smaller and has less character,
but partakes of the spirit of the
mountains, for it dashes along without
regard to the damage it may do, and
when it rains, as is frequently the case in
this climate, it swells up with a sense
of its own power and washes away
trestle work and embankments which the
railway contractors have built at the
cost of much trouble and money. The
water of these rivers is of that peculiar
light green color that comes from glaciers
and it is intensely cold. There are several
glaciers in the mountains, but only
one In sight, and thut is sixty miles
away.
Held Up by Washout.
We went up Into the pass from Edmonton
in the night, and when we awoke in
the morning discovered that we were
held up by a washout. We watched the

until they had restored the connection,
when Supt. Mcfall gave us a switch engine
and a caboose 10 go to the end of the
track. We crept along for twenty-six
miles throia^h the pass over half-spited
rails and often stopped to watch gangs
of men with pile drivers, traveling derricks.
big steam shovels and graders
building bridges and embankments and
protecting the right of way against avalanches
and washouts, and all day the
wonder grew concerning the ease and
raniditv with which railways are built
these times wTien everything is done by
machinery.
There are construction camps all along
the line, which contribute to the picturesqueness
of the scene. Several thousands
of men are living in tents and log
1 cabins, with corrals where animals are
kept bpside them, and long trains of
bos ? ars and flat cars filled with rails and
other building material lie on the side
tracks.
We got our first glimpse of the proud
iind magnificent Athabasca river at the
point where it widens and forms Brule
lake: and just beyond where the track
skirts Jasper lake it passes Jasper House,
a Hudsaon bay trading posrt for more
than a century. Then turning south it
deserts the Atliabasca and joins the
Miette, which flows the other way into
the Pacific.
The Grand Trunk Pacific company proposes
to take advantage of the scenic
beauties of the pass and has obtained
permission from the government to develop
Jasper Park as the Yosemite and
the Yellowstone have been developed
And on the site of the ancient Hudson
Bay station it will build a hotel, to be
called Jasper House, which hereafter,
will be one of the show places of f'anada.
The track Is pushing on at the rate of
live miles a day under the direction of
G. W. Miller of Sac City, Iowa, who lias
one of those wonderful track-laying machines
which can do the work of PO
men. and yet. as the Irishman said so
contemptuously. "It can't vote."
Builds Five Miles a Day.
The old way of building railroads was
to distribute the material along the
grade for several miles beyond the finished
track by teams of horses and
mules; then place the ties and rails into
position by hand and spike them to
gemer. in ims way a wen irainea gang
could lay a mile a day, but the Roberts
pioneer track-laying machine, which is
being used here, has revolutionized the
business, and with a gang of 1<X? men
can build five miles a day.
It consists of a tra'n of ten or twelve
flat cars, laden with ties, rails, spines,
fishplates and anglebars, with one locomotive
at the head and another at the
tail, and in advance of the former a farreaching
derrick, operated by a young
man who sits in a revolving chair.
On each side of the cars is a continuous
trough containing an endless belt
running slowly on spoofs. One of the
belts is made of chains and the oth#r of
heavy leather set with spikes.. On the
flat cars groups of men roll the steel
rails into the trough of chains and they
are carried slowly to the front, where
the derrick seizes them and, carefully
guided by the young man In the chair,
lowers them into position upon ties that
have come a little earlier in the trough
on the other ride of the train and in the
same way.
There is a stream of ties always* passing
through the trough, and gangs of
men stand in line at the end, two and
two, who grab the ties as they fall, place
them on the right of way and then return
quickly to get another load. Other
men are waiting to straighten them into
position, and when the rail is lowered
into place the splkers come along and
drive their big rough nails as fast as you

LARGEST KNOWN WOMAN.
Weighs 825 Founds; Height^ Five
Feet Seven Inches.
A ETON, II!., October 16.?Miss tiertrude
Burk of Chicago, largest woman
in the world, is visiting: at the home of
Mrs. H. \V. Hayes here. Miss Burk is
twenty-two years of age. weighs X25
pounds, stands live feet seven inches,
and some of her measurements are: Arm.
2N inches; waist. 54 inches; bust. 75.
She wears No. 4'2 shoes and No. 7
gloves.
When she was born Miss Burk weighed
fifteen pounds, and at eight years of age
weighed 250. At the Hayes home she
sits on two chairs placed facing each
other. Miss Burk goes through doors by
turning sideways, sind it is a pretty hard
squeeze at that.
Efforts have been made by showmen to
get Miss Burk .to exhibit herself, but she
has never been tempted. Her parents
left her an estate and she does not need
the money.
BABY KILLS INFANT BROTHER.
Bottle Slips From Child's Grasp,
Crushing Other's Skull.
ROCHESTER. October 16.?When the
twenty-month-old son of I<:inier Agnew
awoke yesterday morning lie cried for
some milk. Mrs. Agnew, who lay in bed
beside him, grave him a bottle. The
child drank the milk and then -crowed
with delight. He kicked his heels in the
air and held the bottle as high as his tiny
arms would permit.
Suddenly the bottle fell from his grasp
and struck his brother, six weeks old.
on the right temple. The infant's skull
was crushed and it died instantly.
A Labrador Hero.
When a man of the high literary calibe:
of Charles G. D. Roberts writes a storj
it is generally known to be worth reading
by everybody, afld when he takes the
pains in working out a plot to enter the
list of all the rest of the world's greatest
writers in competition for one of the
prizes our Sunday Magazine is offering, it
means that his product is, indeed, of
much excellence.
For this reason "The Stuff of Heroes,"
the leading story In our next issue, which
is Mr. Roberts' prize story, is an exceptionally
good one. Furthermore, It is not
an animal tale, as most of his stories
arc, but deals with the big things of elemental
human nature, as shown in the
change of heart that came to a Russian
revolutionist of the extremely murderous
type whereby he became an earnest minister
to the dire needs of an humble community
on the Labrador coast.
In working out this big Idea the hero
of the story is thrown Into remarkable
relations with a number of the same
revolutionary body who had been senyf
to find and kill him for his dereliction'
In duty, which well displays the author'V
ingenuity and skill in handling plots of
the profoundest character.

IX5XDOX, October It.?The dangers of b

have been grimly illustrated by the mur- c
der of H. P. James, a British resident h

age, and by the failure of a British punitive

A cable message from Eagos states ,J
that the avengers have returned hopeless a
of catching the murderous tribe. They B
captured only one mart implicated in the 1
murder, but he cheated justice by dying

Bodies Found in the Bush.
In the bush the punitive expedition ^
found the body of Mr. James and also
the remains of thffee of his native companions.
Happily, none of the bodies had Vi
been mutilated, and the commissioner t(
himself must have been killed instan- p]

been shot away. Another bullet had also jj
gone through the thigh.
