and the ocean. The other is to build
a railroad from a point on the Cana
dian Northern to Hudson bay. with
steamer transportation thence.
With regard to the Hudson bay
route the dangers from ice, exempli-
fed by the Titanic disaster, are shown
by an article in the Engineering
News to he practically prohibitive. II
is we'll understood that the water
route would be open only three or
four months in the year; but an Off
cial report shows that even then nav
iGation would be difficult and hazard
Gus. The ice-breaking steamer Stan
ley encountered ice in the bay July
% in d field of 200 miles, made slow
Roadway on July 80, and on August
9, at the entrance of the bay. was
stopped by the ice. Outside the
coure would lie straight across the
stream of iceherss coming down from
the polar region. This danger would
he enhanced by the prevalence Of
fogs. while the extra cost of marine
insurance and the necessity of stor-
ing for a large share of the seasons
would be almost sure to o~verbalance
n estimate saving of five cents a
hushel when the crop is moving with
out obstruction.
The same consideration in less de-
gree affects the ST. Lawrence project.
That route has been open i'm smaller
proportions for a generation. Yet the
hazards of navigation down the st.
Lawrence river and gulf have greatly
limited the volume of commerce.
Doubtless the enlargement OF the
Welland canal would materially in
crease that traffic unless the enlarg-
ed Erie canal furnishes efficient COM
petition. But certainly the case OF
the Titanic should make Canada
wary of putting $50, 100000 into a
route where the dangers from ice
would he infinitely greater without
the most careful investigation.

HAZARDOUS WATER ROUTES.

The Titanic disaster-or it's cause
has a bearing on the Canadian eff
forts to establish new routes from
the northwestern grain provinces to
England. The work to create this
route is two-fold. One is to enlarge
and deepen the Welland canal 10
twenty-five feet. with locks made
deep enough for an ultimate thirty
feet. This would provide an open
water out from the head Of Lake
Superior down the great lakes to the
ST. Lawrence and thence to the gulf

1t is not generally considered COM
plimentary to call a ma a goose. and
in some localities it is provocative of
trouble. But to call a man a Blue
Goose, providing he is a fire under
writer and likewise a member of the
Ancient and Honorable Order of
Blue Goose, is strictly within the
amenities. 1t sorigin dates to the
summer of 1905, when the Wiscon-
