GRAIN ROUTE TO BE SHORTENED A GREAT DISTANCE When the New Canadian Line Is Completed, It Will Threaten Supremacy of the East Seaports. GRAIN MOVEMENTS TO MOVE TO WESTWARD

Investigation Being Made by The Dominion Government As to Open Navigation Into Hudson Bay. (American News Service) Ottawa, Ont, Oct. 16. To effect a saving of half a thousand miles in the grain route from Winnipeg to Liverpool, work upon the railway that is to connect Winnipeg with Fort Churchill, on the west side of Hudson Bay, will be rushed to completion as rapidly as possible. The new highway, once established, cannot but fail to threaten the commercial supremacy of Montreal and the important maritime ports of St. Johns, N. B., and Halifax, N. S.. Inasmuch as the immense production of the western wheat fields has here tofore moved Britalnward through the Quebec metropolis in summer, and through the two Atlantic cities named in winter. It is confidently expected that at the forthcoming session of the Domin ion Parliament it will be revealed that the government expedition, headed by Captain Bernler, in command of the steamer Arctic, which is now returning to Quebec from Northern wat ers, has concluded the exhaustive in vestigation into open navigation in. and out of Hudson Bay that was un dertaken by the Dominion steamship Diana, in 1897, and by the Neptune, in 1904 and 1905. Have Free Passage. It Is now known that for five months In the year a free passage is to be had from the Atlantic to Fort Churchill. Hudson Bay is commonly associated with the Polar regions, yet no part of it comes within the Arctic circle. Its northern extremity is in about the same latitude as the Highlands of Scotland and Moose Factory, on Its southern shore, is farther south than London. The mean temperature of the water of the bay maintains an average for the year several degrees higher than that of Lake Superior and in the opinion of an authority, the bay is to be regarded as a vast basin of comparatively warm water, which doubtless has a mitigating Influence upon the winter of the surrounding country. Covering an area of more than half a million miles, it is six times the aggregate size of the Great Lakes separating Canada and the United States, and more than half that of the Mediterranean. A. P. Low, F. R. G. S., director of the Dominion Geological Survey, in a report to the government, has stated that the period of safe navigation for ordinary steel steamships through Hudson Strait, a passage of five hundred miles in length, from Cape Chidlelgh, on the Atlantic, to Cape ,Wolstenholme, on the bay, and across Hudson Bay to the port of Churchill, may be taken to extend from July 20 at the close. to November 1, Increased, without appreciable risk, by one week at the beginning of the season and two weeks Have an Advantage. Navigation conditions in the Hudson Strait, the most hazardous portion of the proposed route, are known to be superior to those prevailing in the Belle Isle Strait, which divides Newfoundland and Labrador and through which the grain traffic passes en route from Montreal to Europe. Both the bay and strait have been found to be remarkably free from rocks and shoals. The group of islands near the east side of the bay is surrounded by deep water, and a wide channel leads up to the center of James Bay. The main body is entirely without shoals, reefs or islands, and the depth Is practically uniform over most of the bay, no great Irregularities being anywhere presented. The water averages about twenty fathoms deep throughout ' From 1670. when King .Charles granted to the Company of Gentlemen Adventurers the country watered by the rivers flowing into Hudson Bay, until 1870, when Canada obtained by purchase a surrender of the exclusive rights of the company on this continent, the bay was, with the exception of the years when France disputed its possession prior to the Treaty of Utrecht, a closed sea to all but the ships of the company and those it permitted to enter upon its waters. Only Two Were Lost. In the course of a century and three-quarters, 750 vessels, ranging from 70-gun ships to 10-ton pinnaces, crossed the ocean and passed through Hudson Strait and sailed the bay in the service of the company. Of this number but two were lost, which Is considered a marvellous record when It is remembered that all the craft were sailors, and most of them small and of rude construction, and that the bay and strait afforded none of the modern accessories to navigation in the way of coast aids. ' The Canadian Northern Railway already accomplishes one-half of the distance from Winnipeg to Churchill, and but 4S0 miles remain to be constructed, when the new highway will be open for traffic between the great

grain center of the Northwest and the t English market. The existing route,; via Montreal, is 4,349 miles in length, I

while via Fort Churchill the journey j would extend only 3,891 miles, thereby saving one or two days' voyage, not to mention the time often lost in the grain blockades experienced between Winnipeg and Montreal. TALEtiT SECURED FOR CHAUTAUQUA George Goodwin and E. Shera Have Returned From Chicago. K. WILL BE A FINE PROGRAM ONE OF THE BEST FEATURES OBTAINED IS A GRAND OPERA COMPANY, HEADED BY MADAM ADALAINE NORWOOD. George Goodwin, secretary of the Chautauqua, and D. K. Sherer, a mem ber of the program committee, return ed yesterday from Chicago, where they have been arranging for next year's Chautauqua. Some excellent talent has been secured and the program promises to be one of the best ever given at the chautauqua. Probably the most noticeable feature of the program will be the Wade-Hinshaw Grand Opera company. The company is composed of high class singers who have gained a world wide reputation including Madame Adalaine Norwood, recently of the Madam Butterfly company; Miss Vera Roberts, contralto and T. Francis Hughes, the Welsh tenor. This feature alone is worth the price of the season ticket, it is said. Some of Attractions. Others who will be on the program are Judge Benjamin Lindsey, of Denver, known as the "Father of the Juvenile Court"; Governor Hoch of Kansas, Ernest Amerest Lott, a lecturer and President of the International Lyceum association ; Ernest Ray O'Neal, lecturer, Irvin Cobb, humorist on the New York Journal; Nat Brigham, moving picture lecturer; John Duxburg, monologist; Mrs. Leonora Lake, a noted woman lecturer; Richmond P. Hobson, the Merrimac hero; George R. Stewart, the Southern evangelist; th-i Glazier Jubilee Singers, a colored troop from Chicago, and the Chicago Glee club. The latter is an instrumental as well as vocal organization and is composed of high class musicians. An effort is being made to get Bill Bone, a well known humorist, for next year's program. The management feels that it is very fortunate in securing such an excellent program for next year, which undoubtedly , will be one of the best ever given in this city. Money Comes In Bunches to A. A. Chisholm, of Treadwell, N. Y., now. His reason is well worth reading: "For a long time I suffered from indigestion, torpid liver, constipation, nervousness, and stneral debility," he writes. "I couldn't, sleep, had no appetite, nor ambition, grew weaker every day In spite of all medical treatment. Then used Electric Bitters. Twelve bottles restored all my oldtime health and vigor. Now I can attend to business every day. It's a wonderful medicine." Infallible for Stomach, Liver, Kidneys, Blood and Nerves. 50c at A. G. Luken & Co. WAS BIG SHRINKAGE (American News Service) Chicago, Oct. 16. Instead of being a millionaire three or four times over at the time of his death, the late Charles Counselman, for years a leading figure on the Chicago Board of Trade, was worth less very much less than $500,000. When the final appraisement of the Counselman estate was made under the inheritance tax law the equity in It was estimated at only $86,100.24. This was over a year ago. Since that time under careful management the value of the estate has increased considerably. Just what its present value Is is a question that is hard for the executors to answer. HAS NEGRO TICKET (American News Service) Hamilton, Ohio, October 16. The negro voters of the college town of Oxford, who number 100 out of the less than 400 voters, have placed a full city ticket in the field. As the town has three white tickets, the town stands a good chance of being governed by negroes. The Bed-Roek Of Success lies in a keen, clear brain, backed by indomitable will and resistless energy. Such power comes from the splendid health that Dr. King's New Life Pills impart. They vitalize every organ and build up brain and body. J. A. Harmon, Lizemore, W. Va.. writes: "They are the best Dills I ever used." 25c at A. G. Luken & Co. Make a free will offering, Tag Day, next Thursday. u

At night I shook out my trousers and cleansed my limbs, but felt a prickly sensation. I paid no attention to it for two years, but I noticed a scum on my legs like fish scales. I oould scrape it off, and yet I did not attend to it until it came to be too itchy and sore and began getting two running ores. My ankles were all sore and scabby and I could not wear shoes. I had to use carpet and felt slippers for weeks. I was then on particular police duty and was compelled to be on duty. I got a cake of the Cuticura Soap and some Cuticura Ointment. In less than ten days I could put on my boots and in lens than three weeks, though on duty all the time, I was free from the confounded itching. I tell you frankly that Cuticura saved me from what the doctors called a bad leg. Capt. George P. Bliss, Chief of Police, Morris, Manitoba, Mar. 20, 1907, and Sept. 24, 1908."
