WINNIPEG, April Poi understand
that the Dominion government has grant
ed charters to no less than eight differ
ent railroad companies to build lines to
Hudson Bay. 1t is even said that James

conc, asion in hissHinside pocket ana
that the various CANADIAN trunk lines are
planning branches In that direction. In
going northward over the Ontario GOV.
ernment's new railroad to Cobalt was
told by the engineers that they would
soon reach Lake Abitibi, crossing the
great clay belt, and that the road would
he pushed on to James Bay. At Sault
st. Mario, I fell In with the American
syndicate which owns the Algoma Cen
,sal charter. providing for railroad
from sault st. Marie to Hudson Bay. and
vas told that the line had been graded
for ninety miles, and that over seventy
five miles were in operation. 5
Railroads have been surveyed from VIM
1lipeg to Port Nelson. and also to Fort
Churchill and there are some who be-
lieve that Canada will eventually have
trunk line running from Port Sinp-
san, the western terminus OF the Grand
Trunk Pacific Railway, 10 Fort Churchill,
and that n great part OF the grain will
go over that route to Europe. The, Cana
dian Pacific and the Canadian Northern
are, 1t is said. considering the Hudson
Bay route, and throughout the British
northwest 1t is regarded as one Of the
mighty probabilities OF the future.
To Europe By Hudson Bay,
According to tho last surveys OF the
Dominion government, 1t has been shown
that Hudson Strait Is navigable from
the first OF July until about the middle OF
October, and the bay itself Is said to be
m open sea the year round, The idea
is to build great storage elevators AT
Fort Churchill and to have g line or
steamships moving In and out from there
to, Liverpool during the open season II
this can he done the saving Will be enor-
NOUS, and It will give the Canadian wheat
kets of Europe,
Hudson Bay Is so far north on the
globe that the distance between It and
liverpool is remarkably short. It Is only
about two thousand miles from Fort
Churchill to Port Simpson, and II a rail-
road should ho built, tho Hudson Bay
route would be by far the shortest from
Asia to Europe and Very much shorter
from parts OF tho United States to IIu-
y rope than the routes now used The Ais
lance from Winnipeg, Via HlMson Bay,
to Liverpool, Is $500 miles, whereas by
Montreal 1t Is 4,22ssmiles, From Duluth
to Liverpool, via Hudson Bay is 3,72s
miles, and the same point by way of New
York, is 4,200 miles.
When this route is opened passengers
from ST. Paul and Minneapolis can so

and with shorter rail journey by that
AS a Grain Route.

Id
The great advantage Of this new. cons
mercial highway will be in the transport
tation OF grain End other freight 1t will
bring the wheat OF the new northwest a
thousand miles nearer salt water. We
produced last year something like 10o,-
10000 bushels OF wheat. It is not extrav-
agant to believe that the great grain belt
Of the British northwest will produce as
much at some time In the future Its
yield last year was about hundred
million bushels and not one-flftleth OF
the land Is under cultivation.
En- II the wheat can be transported by way
OF Hudson Bay it Is said that the saving
might be as much MS Is cents per busfiel,
md this on ihundred-m lllon -hushcl
crop would mean saving OF 900
per annum. Is 1t any wonder that the
possibility OF the route Is seriously con-
sidered? 4
In addition to grain would be the enor-
nous supplies which will be needed for
the British northwest. This country will
eventually support about twenty million
people. and they will be among the best
customers on the globe. The port would
also take away freight from and supply
goods direct to tho United States, Fa1t
would be especially valua BILE In tho ship

and the sea voyage short.

The most OF the whale fishing Is from

sized city lot. In addition there are
white whales about fourteen feet long.
These great fish swim about in shoals
so large that they cover part OF the bay
like sheets OF snow. They are valuable
for both their oil and hides.
Another important industry OF Hudson
bay is walrus fishing. These animals are
caught for their hides. which are used
for making belts. a good-slzed hide Will Z
weigh 300 pounds and will sell for los
cents a. pound. The tusks OF the walrus
are also valuable, bringing about $40

DR.. ELIor,s PROPHECY.
ne Forenees q Mighty American Re-
public a Hundred Years Hence.

He FoPesees q Mighty American He-
public a Hundred Years Hence.
President Eliot Of Harvard pictured
a mighty American republic hundred
years hence In his address before the
Prospect union at Cambridge, Mass,
the other afternoon on Reverence Con-
eistent with Genuine Democracy" says
special dispatch from Cambridge 10
the New York Times. He spoke In part
as follows:
aThe great movement of the world
today is toward democracy; the great
keynote Of the present century, the
century that we are just entering upon,
will be democracy In all things. one
hundred years from now the population
of our country, which is now for the
most part wilderness, Will be beyond
any present conception, and this great
nation will be the most democratic
that the world has ever known.
'sThe progress Of democracy will be
the great feature Of the advance of CIV
ilization In the present century. If this
is to be sound, the character of our
people must be as sound as their pro-
ficiency In the arts, In commerce. in
government.
Though critics say that democracy
has destroyed some Of the finer charac-
teristics of the older countries, such as
reverence of children toward parents, pu-
pills toward teachers, the people toward
their rulers, there is in all these reia-
tons a more genuine relation than for
merly. No nation In the world has such
reverence for women as have the men
of the great republic. Our reverence
for symbols has diminished, but not for
the ideals which these material signs
of religion and love Of country stand
for"

the new train to leave Pullman at :35
in the morning and will reach Spo-
kane at IL 80. Returning, it will
leave Spokane at FIVE O'Clock in the

A pecea tree is growing on the prem
Ises Of W. A. Lindsey Of Monticello
that bids fair to break all records be-
fore it reaches its limit, says the MONT
cello News. This tree Is about twenty
years old and Is hedged about rather
closely with various trees, which one
might expect would lessen its produc-
ttveness. Mr.. Lindsey has sold 598
pounds of pecans from this tree alone
this season and has forty pounds of It's
nuts still on hand. They brought Il
cents per pound, making for this year
STo.56. The yield last year was about
900 pounds and the year before nearly
A0pounds.
