VANCOUVER, April 6.—Premier
Sir Richard McBride has been of
fered the place of high commis

Strathcona. It carries with it a
salary of $10,000. Sir Richard is a
strong believer in the building of a
railroad to extend north into Alaska.
In recently addressing the legisla
ture he declared: “I believe that
the time has now come for the build
ing of a railroad through northern
British Columbia to the Yukon and
Alaska, and I may say that the
authorities at Washington and
Ottowa have both gone so far as to
heartily indorse some project of co
operation in the building of this
line. It will take generations to
provide fortifications and even
longer to provide navies, but the
building of this line is not a difficult
task nor a very expenisve one. I
believe that nothing would be more
welcome to the foreign department
at Ottawa, Washington and London
than some proposal to establish such
a railroad.”
