The Dominion Government will lay telegraph cable over three mountain ranges.  It
	has been determined that the suspension of communication with north Vancouver because
	of heavy snow and ice storms last winter, the new cable will withstand anything whatsoever
	that may fall upon it.

	E A Hawley, a forman incharge of the north construction of the cable now living in
	Vancouver, said that sleet is the worst enemy of the telegraph lines in Canada,
	especially in north Vancouver and mountain regions.  The lines are constantly being
	snapped and it is often extremely difficult and hazardous to repair until the 
	snow melts in spring.  Last winter, an experiment of laying cable over the mountains
	was tried, and it was determined, although not a complete success, that with a proper
	wire there would be less or little trouble with snapped cables.  A heavier and a
	properly insulated cable is now being prepared, of sufficient length to extend the
	three mountain ranges and then some, where the present trouble is experienced.
