| prepared to vote money for the COM
pletion of the Hudson Bay railway.
The vote was 70 to 20 against. The
government treated it virtually as a
want of confidence vote, so it was
probably not test vote, as some of
the Progressives voted with the Lib
erals and Conservatives.
| This is, however, far from being
the end of the matter. Western Pro-
gressive members are strong for the
early completion of the project. 1t
has been the dream of Western Can
ada ever since it found 1t could raise
grain.
1t should be noted that another road
to Hudson bay Is being built. 1t Is
an extension from Cochrane north to
James bay of the Temiskaming &
Northern Ontario railway, owned by
the province of Ontario. Its purposes
have to do with colonization, fisheries
and coal from the northwest shore of
Hudson bay.
To the student of American history
| this Hudson Bay grain export route
project is Of intense interest. Port
Nelson and the Nelson river were the
Headquarters and trade highway of the
Hudson's Bay company-chartered in
1870 by King Charles II of England
and the biggest and most efficient
monopoly the world has ever seen.
With power of life and death and
monopoly of trade over all of British
North America to the Rockies 1t sue
cessfully barred the way to civilization
for $50 years. Il. B.. C.-translated
by its enemies, Here Before Christi
was on its flag and the missionary and
teacher were anathema. Pro pelle
cutem-"skin for skin''-was the motto
on Its great seal and 1t took the fur
from the Indian and skinned him In
the trade, reducing him to slavery.
Not even a post factor was allowed
to make garden, lest he give the lie
to the Unacceptable wilderness" The
''free-trader" in furs was killed off.
1t ignored the exploring obligations Of
it's charter, set up trading posts and
made the Indian come to them. 1t
piled up enormous profits In secret
and successfully withstood inyestiga-
ton. Forced to let go its grip after
200 years by the British government,
it is now selling its fertile lands"
and running a chain of department
stores in thriving eities-and making
more money than ever.
Had the III. B. G. explored "Rupert's
Land" and opened 1t to colonization
and settlement. the history of the
North American continent would have
been far different. For one thing,
Alaska would not be ours. The Eng
lish instead of the Russians would
have found it--and kept it. For an
other, the settlement of the Missis-
sippi valley would have been British
instead of French-with possibilities
and conjectural consequences beyond
our imagining.

Short Cut When Pitted
Valve Requires Grinding

In cases where badly pitted valve
requires grinding, here Is shortcut.
Cut a piece of emery cloth in dimen-
sions little bit wider than the valve
seating and twice as long and then
double 1t over so that both surfaces
are cutting surfaces. Next cut hole
in the cloth so that the valve stem
may be passed through and the en-
cry cloth brought close up against the
valve head. The valve is then placed
In position for grinding under COM
paratively high pressure. Both sides
or the emery cloth will conform to the
valve head and the. seating and IL the
valve turns and the emery cloth re-
mains stationary, the valve will be
ground on the upper emery, whereas
If the cloth revolves, the valve seat
ing will be ground on the lower en-
cry.

HOT DAYS CAUSE
OF CAR TROUBLE
There Must Be Sufficient
Quantity of Water Circu-
lated to Care for Heat.

(Ry ERWIN GREER. President Greer Col
lege of Automotive Engineering. Chicago)
These hot days will cause your au-
tomobile to tell you-to the best of its
ability-just what condition it is In.
There is no reason why it should over
heat, for it has been designed to oper-
ate in hot weather. Even when the
mercury climbs upward and the sun
drives you into the shade 1t should not
steam or boil.
The amount Of cooling depends in
part upon the size of the cooling sys-
tenn and the rate at which the water is
circulated through it. The water must
carry away the heat from the cylinders
to the radiator, give up the heat and
return for more That means that
there must be a sufficient quantity Of
water circulated fast enough to take
care of the heat. This Is the problem
the engineer must solve for his par
ticular car.
Upholstery Injured.
Many owners do not realize that the
leather upholstery gets dry and loses
its new appearance when exposed to
ehe hof sun. When applied to the car,
the leather contains certain amount
of natural oil which is essential to its
life. AS soon as this oil Is gone the
leather loses its pliability, becomes dry
and is likely to crack and peel. One
of the most effective ways of shorten
ing the life of the upholstery is to ex-
pose 1t to the glare of the summer sun
for hours at a time. The heat draws
out the natural lubricant, leaving the
leather dull and lifeless.
AS protective measure, If not for
your own comfort, take pains to leave
the car in the shade or to raise the
top. If the leather shows signs of wear
or becomes dry, treat it with a leather
dressing to restore it to it's original
softness.
Watch Battery.
When the weather Is warm you
should watch the battery carefully and
examine it once or twice day for
heating. This is especially essential
If you are touring. Put your hand on
the top connectors. If they feel more
than blood warm take the temperature
with thermometer, and if the Their
mometer indicates 100 degrees or more
burn all the lamps on the car while
driving. This will serve to relieve the
battery and prevent overcharging. If
the temperature is dangerously high 1t
may even be necessary to stop and re-
move the battery cover so as to allow
the battery to cool off. Remember that
a temperature Of 40 degrees is dan
gerous and that temperature Of 100
degrees will probably ruin the battery
permanently.
When the car reaches certain
speed an automatic switch cuts in the
generator and current flows to the bat
terry to charge it.

That is because of ice troubles and
shoal water. The most optimistic esti.
mates of terminal costs Of construction
are: about $4,5O0,OOO for harbor and
channel dredging; nearly $6,000,00C
for storage facilities; about $7,0O0,OOC
for lighthouses and other marine
equipment along the channel and in
Hudson strait connecting the bay with
the ocean; total, including the 10C
miles of road, $22,500,000.
The longest open season that can
be expected is fifteen weeks, begin
ming about the middle Of August; in
some years 1t has been no more than
ten weeks. This short season, suggest
the engineers, will so place limitations
on the capacity of the railway that
large elevator capacity will have to
be provided at the port. They also
suggest that 1t will so affect the avail
ability of tramp vessels that freight
rates must remain largely conjectural
w. Nelson Smith, in a discussion be-
fore the Winnipeg branch of the In
stitute, said that liberal estimate of
the grain that would move by this
outlet is from 100000 to 24,000,000
bushels. He put the most favorable
conjectural transportation saving at
about ten cents q bushel, disregarding
insurance.
Incidentally, 1t may be stated that
in 1922 Canada's exports of wheat
(including flour) were 179606,00 bush
els and the total exports of wheat,
oats, barley and rye were 232,S0S,0 GOO
bushels.
According to the Railway Age, a
hitherto unpublished report on the
feasibility of completing the Hudson
Bay road project by David w. Mac
Lachlan engineer in charge of dredg-
ing operations at Port Nelson, was
tabled In the house of commons at
ottawa In June. This report was sub
mitted to the department of railways
and canals in September, 1917. Mac
Lachlan estimated the average season
of navigation at two months; the rate
on grain from Saskatoon to Liverpool
VIA fOTC w Illldll anu nOulISdl Ut ZO.4
cents bushel and the rate from Sas-
katoon to Port Nelson, including ham
ding charges, at 1919 cents, thus leav-
ing margin of 6.5 cents for the ocean
rate, extra insurance and the inter-
est on the cost Of the works. He said
the average rate paid tramp steamers
from Montreal to Liverpool was cents
and that they would inevitably choose
the Montreal route unless there was
higher margin at Port Nelson.
w. d. Euler, Liberal member for
North Waterloo, asked If there were
reports subsequent to that of Mac
Lachlan. Mr.. Graham, minister of
railways and canals, replied that there
were and that they would be submit
ted when asked for. Loud applause
from the Progressives greeted this
statement.

which the pinion is mounted Is spiral
ly cut. When the starter pedal is de-
pressed the starter motor begins to
spin and thus screws the pinion gear
(Which Is automatically prevented
from rotating) out to the end of the
shaft and into mesh with teeth on the
flywheel. AS soon as engine starts, the
fiywheel runs faster, screwing the PIN
ion back out of mesh.
Ordinary starting troubles are weak

starter switch, dirty switch, loose
connections, brushes worn, or commu-
tator dirty. Dirt, or gummed oil on the
starter shaft may prevent the pinion
from meshing. - Popular Science

Power at Mine Mouth

Mine-mouth power plants, about
which much has recently been written.
are only practicable where coal and
condenser water occur side by side,
says an article in Power, devoted to a
description of one of the latest Of
these plants, that of the Penn Central
Light and Power company, at Saxton,
Pa. Coal is supplied from nearby semi
bituminous mines, while water is car
riel into the boilers from the Rays
town branch of the Juniata river,
which flows within few hundred
yards of the plant. The present devel-
opment is 10000 kilowatts, but condi-
lions are favorable for expansion to
four or five times that capacity.

Tighten Windshield Nuts

On many makes of car the wind
shield is held in place by steel arms,
which protrude through the cowl and
are fastened on the under side by q
nut and lock nut. Sometimes these
nuts work loose, with the result that
the shield is allowed to move slightly.
The first evidence of this is seen in
cracked finish in the vicinity of the
windshield supports. In making the
periodic inspection for loose nuts and
bolts these windshield supports should
not be forgotten.

Cut Battery Separators

1t is possible to cut the little wooden
separators used in the storage battery
by means of one Of the trimming
boards that almost any office has.
This board comprises knife with a
handle, the forward end of the knife
being riveted to the board, so that 1t
can be lifted and lowered. Absolute
accuracy can be achieved in cutting
the thin slivers of board with this
device.
