The route from The Pas, 500 miles nerth and west of Winnipeg, to Churchill on the bay was completed but a few weeks ago. The ceremonious driving of the last spike within a few months will mark the start of regular ser- vice on the line. Just 175 miles farther than Mon- treal from Liverpool, the new west- ern seaport lies at the mouth of the Churchill river. The harbor, about four miles in width and eight miles in length at high water, is a bottle- shaped body of water determined by two points stretching out onweither side into the Bay. The height of land on the two rocky arms which almost enclose the harbor varies from about forty feet above mean sea level at the points of the promonotories to 144 feet on the western and 77 feet on the east- ern arm. The entire region of the harbor is redeémed from desolation by growth of "coniferous trees and willows, especially on the west arm, where csrub and tamarac up to eight inches in diameter of trunk may be found. Vessels entering Churchill Har bor will float through its narrow || mouth in ten fathoms of water; the width of the mouth is 3,000 feet at high water. ern land 'arm is: Fort - Prince of Wales; and, on a small island Just beyond, a beacon; another beagon is located on the battery at the extrem- ity of the eastern arm. At this side mouth, are the new docks. Fully two miles from the first har- bor opening, the neck opens at Cockles Point, from a high water width of a mile: and a half to the inner harbor, four miles across. Like a gigantic horseshoe the so- called re-Cambrian Shield surrounds Hudson Bay, on the western side of which Churchill is located. The Bay is about 1,000 miles from north to 1] south, including James Bay dt . the far south, and is about 600 miles across at its wi dest stretch. Pas- sage from Hudson Bay to the Atlan- tic Ocean is through Hudson Straits, itself an imposing salt water tho- roughfare 500 miles long and 1900 miles wide. Roughly, the depth of water in the Bay is 50 to 80 fathoms, until near- ing the Straits when the depth in- creases to 125 fathoms and reaches 225 fathoms as approach is made to the Atlantic. Today Churchill is in 'much' the same state as when it served as-'a haven for 'mariners of Hudson Bay many years ago. But when modern methods for dispersing tidal ice are provided, the shelter of those appeal- ing arms will be afforded to nautical waifs of mid-winter, it is expected.
