Owing to the lateness of the season it was not possible to make the proper investi-gations of the country between Milestone and Regina, but although there appearsfrom its profile to be some heavy excavation on this section of the line-there is e\eryreason to believe that a line can be located through this country so that the workwill be fairly light.
