The line must, be on the Government gauge. It need not be up to other Government standards, but, if a light line is built, it must ultimately lie converted to full power, nnd certain sums derived from the sale of timber must be set apart for that purpose. The Company applied to the Supreme Court to know it a heavy line were built these moneys need not lie set aside, and also if it had power to assign and mortgnge its interest in certain lands.
