HISTORY OF NOVA SCOTI.. 
Railway extension and more energetic working of 
existing lines within the province are receiving 
attention. An eastern coast line of railway from 
Dartmouth to Guysborough is under survey. The 
great transcontinental railway companies of the 
Dominion are preparing to bring Nova Scotia 
within their field of operation. The Canadian 
Pacific Company has purchased, and within a few 
months will take possession of, the Dominion 
Atlantic Railway, including the Midland, It is 
reasonable to believe that this company, one of 
the wealthiest and most enterprising organisations 
of the kind in America, will operate these roads 
with greatly increased vigour, The Northern 
Pacific Railway also will probably be extended to 
Halifax, and be connected with British ports by 
large ocean steamships.
