Magazine. Hudson Bay has been pro
posed as a new highway for transports
ing Canadian grain to Liverpool, and
the fact that the new route would be
a thousand miles shorter than the pres,
ent way through the Great Lakes an6
overland to New York would greatly
reduce the transportation cost on
grain sent to Europe through the Bay
Many people to-day think of North
western Canada as bleak. barren
country, as cold as Alaska or Green
land. But in areas which are in the
same latitude as Greenland. fine wheat
crops have been raised. The tremen-
dous amount of territory that will be
affected by this new grain route makes
Hudson Bay one of the greatest inland
trade arteries of the world. Vast agri-
cultural lands stretching as far west
as the Canadian Rockies and thou
sand miles north of Montreal, are in
Guided within the cost-saving reach of
this New-World Mediterranean. Tho
new route through Hudson Bay will
place the farmers who cultivate 6OC
million acres of land, in control of TIL
grain markets of the world by making
possible 80 per cent reduction in cost
of transportation. To attract and con-
troll the future traffic of the Hudson
Ray route would bet would seem

NEWSPAPERS TAKE LIKE VIE

ST PETERSBURG, January 2,-The
dumas slowness in discharging its duties
as a legislative body has created bad
impression throughout the country, par
ticularly among the adherents of mod
crate coustitutionaism. The feeling has
taken shane in an unusual chastisement of
his fellow members of the duma by NJ
Khomyakoff. its president, in an interview
in the Novoe Vremya, in which the presl-
dent complains almost in despairing tones
Of his inability to whip the duma into any
semblance of parliamentary efficiency.
Bills Held Up.
NJ. Khomyakoff denounces the indiffer-
ence shown by large number of the
members, many of whom hardly ever
cross the portals of the Tauride palace.
Although three months have elapsed since
the opening of the session, he says. the
duma has scarcely begun the consldera-
ton of the budget. reform of local courts
and land legislation. while eleven minor
bills which have passed have been held
up through the failure of the drafting
committee to get together
M Khomyakoff states that the disap-
pointment Is all the more poignant, as he
knows that the people are viewing the
third duma with a critical eye. Instead
of laboring to overcome skepticism, he
charges, the duma is falling into disrapute
through mere sloth. In closing he says:
Il am thoroughly pessimistic with refer
ence TO the duma.
Reactionaries Rejoice.
The newspapers here, both conservative
and liberal, sustain NJ. Khomyakoff' $
structures the Noyoe Vremya particularly
urging the observance OF business-like
methods.
| The Rech maiciously rejoices al this
demonstration of the untitness of the land
lord element for parliamentary work. The
difficulty in obtaining a quorum has led

membership attends the sessions.
