MOOSE FACTORY ISOLATED
Is Old Trading Post, Far Remote
From Civilization.

OTTAWA. January B. Moose Fac
tory is one OF the Oldest Hudson bay
trading posts. as well as one of the
most remote from civilization in these
days Of modern transportation It is
about 200 miles from the farthest
north line In Canada. the National
Transcontinental railway, now part of
the Canadian National system. which
runs from Moncton to Winnipeg
through the northern portions of Que
bee and Ontario.
The outfitting and supply point for
Moose Factory is Cochrane, on the Ma
tional Transcontinental. Supplies for
,he post are carried in canoes during
the summer months down the Abitibi
and other rivers that flow north to
James bay. In the winter the only
way Of getting out to civilization
from the northern posts Is to "mush''
by dog team. and this Is a lengthy
and uncomfortable process. At this
season the north country is frozen
solid. the winter there coming early
and staying late.

NAGPUR, India, January "A boy
cott on the proposed visit OF the Duke
OF Connaught to the east and q tri-
butte to the memory OF the late Lord
Mayor MacSwiney Of Cork were
voted in resolutions adopted by the
Indian national congress in session
here. A message Of sympathy to the
Irish in their struggle for independ-
ence also was drafted and dispatched.
A royal proclamation to India, is
sued in London last August, said the
Prince Of Wales would not visit India
this winter to fnaugurate reform leg
islation, but that the Duke Of Con-
naught, former governor general Of
Canada, would undertake these duties.
Dispatches which appeared previous
ly in tho London newspapers forecast
that tho prince would not make the
trip. The condition Of unrest among
certain sections Of the natives and
the ant-Brftish propaganda carried
on by dissatisfied native leaders were
said to make 1t inadvisable to ex-
pose the prince to possibilities Of a
hostile reception. The native leaders
were reported to be melting their
followers by proclaiming the Turkish
treaty to be an attack on their re.
ligfon and its head.
