and is sometimes called severe, but after
all 1t Is an unfailng adherence to the
best interests Of his city, rather than a
desire to he harsh to men.

have railroad connection with Hudson
bay within couple OF years or so and
that a largo part of tho game tor Toron-

down over these roads. Tho country will
then be filled with tourists anu the Hud-
son bay region may be a fnvorite sum-
mer resort for the North American con-
tinant. The woods are full of game.
There are caribou by the thousand, plen-
ty Of moose, many kinds OF deer and no
end OF wild birds, With steamers on the
bay one will be able to take wonderful
tours to the least explored parts OF
the world and vast mineral region may
be open up. The country Is as yet un-
prospected and unknown. From talks
which have had with Hudson hay trad
ers and explorers the land about the
bay is rocky In places, and In others It
Is covered with muskes and swamns
