Mod ern traffic conditions, the grain-output of the great North-West, and, above all, cessities imposed by the present have at last made {t nrofitable this water-route for the period during whieh it and the Canadian Government will complete, this spring, a railroad line connecting her three transcontinen tal roads with tide-water on this in land sea, thus eliminating %he rail road haul across half the Writes Mr. Earle William The Scientific American: 'That the completion of the Hud- gon Bay Railroad is a vital matter of interest to commerce needs no argu- ment, It is not the idle dream of a| passenger-agent desiring a'new field | of tourist endeavor, but the result of insistent demands made by a country whose development has outstripped the efforts of three great railway systems to keep pace. As early as 1906, western Canada was the ron- gested centre of railway transporta tion, both outgoing and incoming lines being blocked with grain, live stock, and supplies The Bay Railroad is simply the a continuous blockade of traffic, aim being to relieve this by giving the shortest possible route to tide water from fields of production. "Had not an enlarged outlet "een supplied to the ocean, the develop ment of Canada would have been re tarded. Canada's great inland sea, Hudson Bay, gives the, West tide water in the meridian of the Missis sippi Valley. A glance at the map shows it to be the shortest route from the centre of the country's fields of production to the world's markets Port Nelson, the of the new railroad, is as near central pgint of the grain area as the centre of that area is to the head of the Great Lakes, and it is about the | same @listance from Liverpool as Montreal. ' Coe "This region is often associated with Arctic conditions yet no part of Hudson Bay come# within the Arctic Circle, his recommendations considerable assurance as water, Its use been hoat bas the ne ar, Gage In 'esult of the with ships stated 'That may enter and leave Port Nelson all | the year round is a fact worth membering.' "Though the Bay remains Hudson Strait freezes over. Hence transportation will be possible for only three months a year, from the end of July to about the end of Oc- tober, But inasmuch as this gives full time for the moving of the food- products to Europe, at a very mater- fal saving in time and freight cost, the expenditure of $16,000,000 for the construction of the 425 miles of rallroad will pay big dividends to the Government. During the closed sea- re- open, son the natural resources of the Bay | region, including farm-crops, timber, paper-pulp, minerals, and the enor- mous wealth of fur and compensate for the operation of the system." The exponents of the railroad point out that the heavy grain trafic | from the Western plains to the At- lantic seaboard is carried over the Great Lakes only during a little 'longer season than the Hudson Bay route promises, and larger cargoes may be carried in a shorter time, which discounts tha argument against the route to Europe. To quote further: "That the Hudson Bay route pro- mises a path from western Canada to Liverpool, shorter by 1,000 miles than the present prevailing rai! route, is a powerful factor in its favor, . . . That a very material saving will be effected in freight cost alone is appreciated when we- re- member that the freight upon grain from the wheat-beit to:-Hudson Bay approximates ten eents per bushel, or the same as to the head of the Grea Lakes, at present. It ngw costs fif- teen cents per bushel to the grain to the Atlantic seaboard ports, which represents a fair profit to the wheat export trade of '20,000,000 bushels, which could be readily handled the harbor were opem but two months of the year, this saving would amount in a single season to approximately $3,000,000. "The demand for westeru Can- ada's prime beef, mutton, pork, and poultry is increasing in Europe. It now costs about sixty cents per hun- dred to transport steers to the Atlan- tic ports, and an additional sixty cents to ship them to Liverpool. For the payment of sixty cents per hun- dred these cattle and stock may be " delivered in Liverpool, on an aver- age, from the fields of production, or an average saving of $6 per head for steers. This saving will approximate $1,000,000 per seison of only two months, or a total of $4,000,000, Therefore, if the Hudson Bay Rail- road is operated But two out of the twelve months, in four rears it would pay off ity construction debt.

"The message was taken in to | Lord Strathcona, and word came out that the visitor was to be admitted. Five minutes later he emerged with a five-pound note erackling in his palm "Three weeks later the same man reappeared.

He was admitted, and emerged rustling another five-pound note. "A few weeks later he presented himself a third time. The secretary Lfelt that the limits of benevolence, must have been reached.

A Remedy for Poison Ivy. Studies of poison ivy show that its poisonous principle is a volatile acid resin; therefore, the treatment of rhus poisoning! with an alkali is theoretically right, In practice the correctness of the theory is borne out; a saturated aqueous solution of | sodium bicarbonate being one of the most efficacious remedies. Recently a note was made of the application | of ice water for rhus poisoning in the United States Army with good | results, This will interest Canad- jans as poison ivy is very common in | all our country districts. The possibility of combining alkaline and ice water naturally suggests itself, trial this has been found | prompt and efficacious. In two cases which have come to our notice a sat- urated solution of sodium bicarbon- ate in ice water applied freely and continuously to the infected area brought about prompt relief and a | complete cure within twelve hours. | In view of the suffering entailed by a severe attack of rhus poisoning | and of the failure of the older me- | thod of the treatment with | and lead water, grindelia, etc., well to bear in mind this method, which is easy of application and prompt in affordmg relief. and upon For | the top | The Secretary Bird.
