Work will be commenced Immediately on the task of blaatlng out the channel ot the Fraser river south, of Soda Creek, where a canyon haa in the past made steamer navigation impracticable.
The construction of the Pacife Great Eastern line from Vancouver to Fort George, following In a general way the route of the Fraser river from Liflooet to tills point, has drawn attention to the navigable possibilities oft he Fraser below Soda Creek, and the Dominion government will assume the �work of providing a channel for steamers.
