Route to the North.
It is the general belief that the rout � north of Prince George will be changed from that now surveyed ii accordance with the original plan. Premier Oliver, in a communication to the Citizen some, months ago, expressed the possibility of such a change, Itecent developments would lead to the belief that the new route proposed from Prince George northward will follow the Grand Trunk Pacific line east to within three miles of Willow River, crossing the Praser at thai point and continuing up the Little Salmon to join the original survey to Summit Lake. It is said f that this route will give a considerable saving in mileage nnd cost of [construction. The crossing of the Praser is at a narrow rock-cut and Was the noint chosen by the original G. T. P. survey.
saving In construction cost will $6O4,00u plus the capitalization of distance saved, 5.65 miles, with 15.96 per cent, curvature and seventy-two degrees rise and fall, another $620,-000, or a total of $1,224,000.
Premier Oliver stated recently that already construction work ov. the new section had begun. The Northern Construction Co., which carried on the rail-laying contract during the past year on the P. (J. E, having been awarded the work on the same basis, that is cost plus five and one-half per nent subject to revision of unit prices Mi any time. Work Is now under way of establishing camps for clearing of the right-of-way' on the new section.
On the old route it would have been necessary to erect a steel bridge owr the Cotionwood River of a length of 1500 feet and a height of 9 0 feet. The new plan calls for a structure over the same river of but 4rt0 feet in length. The Premier

Timber Wolves in Enormous Packs
(Special to the Citizen).
The Pas, Man.. Nov. 12.�Large packs of timber wolves are roving throughout the north in search of caribou herds, say incoming trappers. Though r.^V ravenous, the packs follow dog teams for a long distance without seriously menacing the teams. At Perb Lake a pack of thirty-live was seen on the trail of a moose, and the trappers gave chase and got seven of them. At Spirit Lake the Indians report having killed sixty of them. On the outskirts of The Pas small packs of eight to sixteon are seen.
Indians and old-time trappers believe that the presence of so many wolves close to the settlements indicates a long and bitter winter in the north.
