DOG DRIVER SAYS
! HUDSON BAY IS
NOT FROZEN OVER

The Pas, Manitoba, March TO-
After a 500-mile journey with his dog
team, Horace HalcroW '''mushed" into
The Pas with the startling informa-
ton that Hudson's bay was open
when he left it's west shore in Febru-
airy.
Halcrow said the. water has been
open at Port Nelson harbor since last
May and that he heard even the
straits were free of ice. Such condi-
tons are considered remarkable, if
not historic.
Halcrow said that while the bay
region has not suffered from influ-
enza, some settlements between The
Pas and Hudson's bay were almost
wiped out.
Because Of the mild winter trap
ping has not been very profitable
since Christmas, he declared, adding
that fishing has beer the big industry
on Hudson's bay all winter.
Catching. halibut off Port Nelson
and York Factory has been going on
all winter. They just throw halibut
into the boats and when they are
filled, they pull ashore
Since Halcrow left Hudson's bay,
weather conditions have changed.
The Pas has experienced thirty below
weather which means that the tenn
perature may have dropped to fifty
below in the Port Nelson district.
