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.
