Form.

form. and railway connecting the great
lake with Hudson bay is nov actually un-
der construction, according to United

five-pound steel rails are used and the loco
motives. states Consul rush. are of such
enormous size. weighing 1;'5 tons when
equipped for traffic that they are delivered
at Sault Ste Marie, where the railway
starts, by steam ferries. because railroad
companies fear to transport them on ac-
count Of the strain on bridges.
Ground broken for the new road
about ninety days ago. but already twenty
five miles are completed and in use, and
the road is pushing forward at the rate Of
half mile day Three years is the esti-
mated time in which to complete it. The
project is backed in the greater part by
United States capitalists. but the Ontario
government has furthered the venture by
an extensive land grant. The road will
open up a region rich in mineral ore and
lii forest woods of all kinds. and a profit
able outcome of the investment is looked
for. The railway also intends to handle
Hudson bay fish products on large scale
eff the plans Of the officials are carried
out" says Consul Brush in conclusion.

while no attempt was made to run d spe-

was too rough for fast sttaming. The final
trial trip, which is to decide whether not
the Goldsborough will be accepted by the
government, will be made in three weeks.
