Today only fifty miles of the entire distance between Ottawa and Parry Sound — two hundred and fifty-nine miles — remains uncovered by the rails, and Engineer Mountain says it is more than probable that this gap will be covered before October of next year. Another year or two and the branch to Golden Lake connecting Pembroke with the Parry Sound railway will also have been completed. On Monday, Mayor F. E. Fortin, Thomas Mackie, J. A. Thibodeau and J. R. Moffat went out to Wilberforce to look out the line through Wilberforce. Transcribed by Colin J.
