PROPOSED SELKIRK TUNNEL AND ELECTRIFICATION Plans for the boring and ultimate electrification ofa five-mile, double-track cut-off tunnel through the Sel-kirk Mountains in British Columbia are being consid-ered by the Canadian Pacific Railroad. The bore of thetunnel will be 17 ft., and the grades encountered willreach about 2 per cent. It is expected that the tunnelwill be approached by an electrified section of 7 miles ofdouble track and that the third-rail 2400-volt sys-tem will be employed. Power will probably be suppliedfrom a future power station to be installed near theelectrification, rather than by undergoing the greatexpense of erecting a long transmission line over
