Hudson Bay Road
Will Be Delayed

The Pas, Man., Oct. 10.--The rail-
road from The Pas to the Hudson
Bay, which was started several years
ago and then stopped during the war,
may not become a reality for two
more years or more.
Captain r. H. Taylor, of the
mounted police patrol on Hudson Bay
has arrived in The Pas after long,
dreary journey from Port Nelson,
one of the two settlements on the
west shore of Hudson Bay. Accord
ing to Captain Taylor, practically
all of the construction work in the
Port Nelson district, tentative termi-
nal for the proposed line, has been
wrecked.
Severe storms in the Northwest
territory which swept the Hudson
Bay region this summer were held
responsible. According to Taylor, even
the roadbed has been ripped to pieces.
No repair work was attempted.
The proposed route to Hudson Bay
has been the subject of bitter contro-
versy in parliament and in various
other circles. Supporters of the pro-
ject declared that it would enable
western grain growers to ship their
wheat directly to ship at Port Nelson
which could proceed to Europe dur
ing the summer. Opponents of the
plan declared this route would only
be available during the hot months
and that it would not prove paying
proposition.

public prefers the short, snappy sew
en-game worlds series instead of the
protracted nine-game fall exhibition,

that the recent nine-game series
gave his club an opportunity to bat
tie fer the championship after they
would have been put out in a seven
game series by four games to one,
Mr.. Comiskey still is as much oppos-
ed to the longer schedule for the
worlds series, he says, as when it
first was proposed.
