Canterbury bails, the statement with approval and Westland with aco'atnation, and if an unequalled flood of champagne will push the auspioious day ahead any Westland and Canterbury will cheerfully lay themselves out to ensure both. Tbe , Arthur’s Pass tunnel is going to be tbs Simplon of tbe Southern Hemisphere, the piercing of a great mountain range, a feat cf engineering that will dwarf the Lyttelton Dole Irrico nUt nue its forerunner between tho Plains and the Port, provide us with a trade facility of huge importance to the provinoe. But, a'ar 1 'the turning of the first sod in New Zealand doesn’t mean the early completion of the work, and if we have to wait for the Midland railway as long as we have waited for the Northern Main Trunk, it won’t be much use to this generation.
