That Is a question that is stirring
all Canada, setting the West agains
the East and provoking all-night de
bates In parliament
There is seemingly no doubt at this
writing that the road will be com
pleted-in time. But whether it will
be completed as a grain export route
or as colonization and general car
rter road Is apparently an open ques-
ton.
The Hudson Bay railway starts at
The Pas, Manitoba, on the Saskatche-
wan river, at the end of branch line
Of the former Canadian Northern rail-
way, and runs TO Hudson bay. north
east, almost as the crow flies along
the Nelson river. to Port Nelson, near
the mouth of that stream. The length
Of the line is 425 miles; 325 have been
constructed TO Kettle Rapids at a cost
Of S20.50O,0O0 The estimated cost of
the remaining 100 miles is S5,OOOOo0.
Take a look at the map of North
America. Note that Port Nelson, on
the west shore Of Hudson bay, is al
most due north OF Chicago, and that
The Pas is almost due north of Omaha.
Now note the distance from The Pas
Tor Winnipeg) TO Montreal, either by
all rail or via Lake Superior and
Georgian bay. In round figures the
saving in mileage by the Hudson Bay
road In respect TO certain points is as
follows: Regina. 1850 miles; Calgary,
1,150; Saskatoon. 1,1T5: Prince Albert
and Melfort, 1900 Then figure that
Port Nelson and Montreal are prac-
tically the same distance by sea from |
Liverpool-S,0OO miles. And finally |
bear in mind that the Hudson Bay |
road is government project. 1t is a
part of the Canadian National rail- |
ways-a system of 1900 miles which
the World war left on the hands of the
Canadian people. 1t was rushed dur
Ing the early years of the war, but
work was discontinued In 1917.
Why, then. should there be any
question about the completion Of the
new export route project?
That there is a question Is shown
oy two facts: The Engineering Insti-
.ute of Canada is investigating
whether or not the project can be
made worth while as measure of ma
ional economy. Moreover, the house /
II commons has refused to make ap- ,
,ropriation for Its completion.
The terminal for transshipment to I
essels will have TO be built 20 miles S
p the Nelson river. say the engineers

enced by an unexpected advance in
Liverpool quotations and by asser-

cations of liberal new export busi-

thing of an offset. Wheat opening
