Says Di- rect Route to Great Britain For the Wheat Lies By Way of the Northern Inland Ocean and the Difficulties Are Small Compared With the Ad- vantages to Be Reaped By Farmer. With the definite issue of tender: for the construction of the first sec- Boa of the line from The Pas, on the anadian Northern, the nearest rail way terminus to Hudson Bay, th opening up of the Hudson Bay Route has entered the practical stage. The business world whi now have to take careful stock of thy possibilities of the project and judge for itself to what extent it is likely to contribute to the development of Northwestern Canada and to the expansion of inter-Imperial trade, says L. B. Amery, British M.P in "Canada." Mr. Amery accompan- iad Earl Grey on his trip to the Bay in August. 1910 The geographical advantages of the route are obvious to anyone who has once looked at a globe and realized {that the Canedian Northwest is no further from England than Eastern Canada. From Liverpool to Fort Churchill, on the western shore of Hudson Bay, is only 2.946 nautical miles--nineteen miles more than the distance from Liverpool to Montreal by Cape Race, and~135 milés more | than the distance to Montreal by Belle | Isle Straits. | But the greater part of the prairie { region is fully 1,000 miles nearer to { Churchill than it is to Montreal. The | route from Edmonton or Saskatoon via | Endian Port Arthur and Montreal | to England, which looks so direct on the ordinary flat map, really repre- (sents a detour of over 1.000 miles | additional railway journey. The direct { Poute is across by Hudson Bay and | Hudson Straits. For very nearly a century Hudson | Bay was the principal gateway to the | Northwest, and it was the advantage | in distance and facility of transporta. | tion over both Eastern Canada and {the United States that enabled the { Hudson Bay Co. first of all to_absorb | the Northwestern Co., whose base was | Montreal, and secondly to establish | effective British occupation over a | vast region which would otherwise in- | evitably "have fallen into American { hands. {| Even before the cession of the com- | pany's territories to the Dominion in { 1869 the westward extension of the | American railways and the establish. | went of steamship services on the C t Lakes had, however, begun to counterbalance the geographical ad- vantages of the Hudson Bay Route The political transfer hastened a Pe 1 was completed by the uilding «. the Canadian Pacific Rail- way. The old route fell into complete disuse, aud there was for a long time no pri motive for re-opening it. | For many years the Canadian Pacific | was more than sufficient to handle ell the trade of the prairie region.

The route will be opened up, that is certain. The question is Will it be a really practical contribu- ion to the problem? Will any large { the exporia and imports really make use of it? . Hudson Bay itself offer its to navigation, except igaries of ihe compass, proximity of the Mag- is [ar as navigation with- ondiines is concerned, it might atiized for traffic for seven months in the year, or possibly even all the ES ar round® wita the help of ice- reakers. The real difficulty is nét in the Bay, but in Hudson Straits, which get choked up with Arctic ice from Fox Channel and Davis Strait, and are not available for ordinary steamship traf- fic before the last ten days of Ju y and after, the first ten days or so of November. Experience may enable this period to be prolonged by a few days at the beginning and a fortnight or wor? at the end, but broadly speak. ing the total period of navigation trough the Straits is not likely to four months. £ that period the dangers and ditficulties of navigation are, it would seein, no creater than those of the Bt. Lawrence route. Icebergs may be somewhat mdre frequent, but fogs are decidedly. fewer, and it is the combina. tion of the two that is the real dan. irs occasional vi caused by tn netie P ger. ' The period is certainly short. Bug an Arctic port like Archangel has for centuries conducted a large trade within at least equally narrow lizits of time. The current year marks the centen- ary of Bunsen, whom Ostwald speaks as "the greatest inorganic chemist of the, nineteenth century since Berzelins.™ ! FIRST RECEIPTS. Small Beginnings and Great Endings of Celebrated Writers. There are some curious and roman- tic stories connected with the firss Literary efforts and earnings of fam- ous authors. Mr. Cutcliffe Hyne, for irstance, recently confessed thet "Tho firm real lijerature I was ever pail for was written to decorate the wrap- ping paper of a tradesman who menu- ed anything from a kettle 0 a dia- neckiace. displayed in type and color on the paper in which he wrapped his handi- work trade would subsequently iu- crease, ficient literary finish oun this personal- ly, po 1 supplied desigus for mottoes and for the wrapper w his esteemed ordes--price, one guinea." Mr. Cutcliffie Hyne has also told how, after he leit Cambridge, hs "worked like a horse at writing for three years and did not earn a Rali- penny," while the first venture of . 8. BR. Crockett in the literary world was, for $200 a year, to edit a paper, most of which he wrote him- sell. From another paper he received $2 a column of 1,000 words for his famous "'SBtickit Minister" storie:. This worked out at a guinea a story. Mr. George R. Suns was earn a salary of $3,000 a year in the City 'when he gave up his post to embark on a literary career. He earned his first guinea by writing & column of gossip, called "Waifs and Strays," in 'The', Weekly Dispatch, but, deciding that! there was more money in the City, he went back again until his success as a playwright enabled him once more to' devote himself eatirely to literature. An amusing confession is made by Mr. Morley Roberts, the popular writ er of eeastories. "I got my firs. guinea and six others besides by steal- | ing a Texas newspaper article holus- De and adding a head and a tail to it." Mr. LKdgar Jepson only $10 for his first two books, while Mr) Silas Hooking's first etory brought | "and I was thankful to | eclares the popular novel | him in $75 get that," ist. Neither did Mr. Joha Oxenham make a very encouraging start, for his fimgt years year heearned about $500. As a matter of fact there are many | writers whose earnings to-day run well over four figures whe could tell of the days when their yearly inoome' fron: | writing did not rise above $100. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle failed to reach | this amount in his first year; yet for | this novel, ""Rodmey Stone," he receiv- | ed $35,000 'before it was written. Here are a few other big prices pald for books to authors after they had mad» their name. Daudet received $200,000 | Lew Wallace got, | for a singlemovel, in royalties on "Prince of India' "Ben Hur" and almost close on $80,000," while Kipling is re- puted to charge 50 cents a word. Turning to other! literary work, one might mention that Commander Peary received $569,000 for the serial rights | in the English language of his remark- | able story:of the discovery of the North Pole. Mr. Winston Churchill received $40,000 in cash and a sub- stantial royalty for the Life of his father, Lord Randolph Churchill; $50.- 000 was paid to Lord Morley for his "Life of Gladstone," and a. similar sum to Dr. Sven Hedin, the famous explorer, for his last book. Macaulay received $40,000 in a single check as art only of his profits from hie "His- of England," while Gen. Grant's widow is said to have received $5600,- 000 from the memoirs of her distin- guished, husband. Dust Laying Experiment. The highyrays department of the city of Leeds, England, has recently treat- ed portions of a macadam roadway 'with ularicalcium chloride to com- 'bat the dust." Bolutions of the same had previously been tried at greater cost and without such.eatisfactory re- sults, The road is first well swept and two applications of the chloride are made | ! on succeeding' evenings, of about one- | wi halt pound par yard, at a cost of $8 per square yard. From personal ob- servation the 'American consul; at Leeds notes the following: July 19, first application; July 20, rain; second application; July 21, dey, breezy day, no dust; July 24 no dust; July 25, heavy thunder showers; July 31, no dust, after a few days of very hot weather; Aug. 9, road in good condi. tion, chloride seems to act as bind. ing; Aug. 10, stiff breeze; but no' dust; aut. 14, road still in good order, eo ordinary sweeping of yzoad was carried on. . : In the Lancers.
