Ing had been sound, that there Is only so much husiness, and it you lose It you loss it forever, the Injury to Winnipeg would Lave been al- most mortal, But perhaps under the philosophy of necessity we realized that If those portions of the wost which wo lost were in be benefitted, as they were, by being placed in a more advant- ageous relation to the world, we would in the long run indirectly profit from that fact; and that Is somothing which all the Prov. inces of Canada nced to bear in mind in this far-flung country, because there will continually be readjustments gong on which which will affect the current of trade and which will disrupt what some people regard as vest. ed business rights, It is upon development of that kind that I would like to speak to you, because of the relatioa- ship of Western Canada, by which I moan the prairie country plus the northern part of it, to the wilderness, to the rest of Canada and to the world, is being profoundly modified by new .do- velopmonts in transportation which are not only in prospect but In some respects already in operation, the wo LJ . . The traders and sailors of iroat Britain have always thor mghly understood the great ad. vantage in transportation rates of what the mariner called the treat Circle; that ts, the farther | north' you can sail the greater the saving In distance and the groater © the cheapening 1n | [rofghts, With the idea of utille- ing the Great Circle, Great Brit. ain was set on discovering the Northwest Passage. That was a 'passage from the Atlantic to the Pacific which would give the morchants and sallors of Great Britain an avenue of approach to the Orient that was far shorter, cheaper and more effective than the longer sea route which had to take account of the rounditity of tho globe. For 200 years the soarch for the Northwest Passage governed British activities in that mobile aceldent at Kirkland part of Canada which {is now Western Canada. ! The Hudson Bay Company did not come into existence simply to collect furs. Embodied in' its ene gagoment with the British Gov. ernment was the obligation to lo cate, if possible, the Northwest thore was - Passage; and from first to last they spent an enormous amount of money in trylug to find it, and you know something of the risks and hazards of their efforts to solve the knotty problem, Ld LJ » Well, that problem has been actually solved, although it Is not in itself a factor of any moment; that is to say, ships can navigats the North-west passage today, It has been navigated twice; once, twenty years ago by Amundson, and once last year by a little ship of the Hudson Bay Company, which, passing through Davis Straits, Baflin's Bay and Lancas- ter Sound, found its way from the Atlantic to the Western Arc. tie, and turning south came to harbour in the Bay of King Wil- lam Land, which ie an island off the north coast, Now, Klak william Land was the scene of the tragedy of Sir John Franklia, whose ships sailed into the nortn and were lost, and a generation passed before anything was foun) of their fate, Thea it was found that they had reached King Wil liam Land, and there had perish. ed misorably one by one, Thy Hudson Bay ship, which carried a radio, tied up at the Buy, and it was from there that the news flashed of the discovery of the McAlpine party, That tells iis own story of how men are con. quering the fortresses of the north, As indicating the new transportation to North, I have a document here which I think will have a most important place In the trade history of Canada. It Is not very imposing, It is a freight bill for $25.84, and it reprosents the freight on three bales of blankets which were shipped by the Hud- son Bay Company last September from Churchill to Winnipeg, These blankets camo out In the Hudson Day ship, the Ungava, co Churehill,. and the road being completed to Churchill they were shipped over the railway to Win- nipeg and were put in the Hua: son Bay stores, To each was al. tached a tag showing it was the first shipment from Great: Brit. ain to Winnipeg, and those blan- kots passed into the possession of various people in Winnipeg, and were kept as souvenirs, The ship, Ungava on its return car- ried 1,000 bushels of Western grain, which they deposited al 'Ardrossan, two highly significant transactions, althcugh small in thomselves, because that was the first movement of this shuttle in that northern route which 1» going to build up an immense web of ecommerce binding West. ern Canada and great Britain more closely together, 1 shall try to give you somu idea of what | coneelve the poa- sibilities of that route to be, In the old days when we were discussing and fighting about whether. the Hudson «Bay road should be bullt or not, one of the arguments which I met with everywhere was that you could not ship wheat out by that route because you could not store it over winter at Fort Churchill or Fort Nelson and get it out of the play of commercial forces, | never found it possible to make people realize that wheat would go out the season it was har- vosted, Now, let us remember what might have happened this year if the route had been for- mally opened and in operation, Of course, the road was there, but it had not been oporated yet, and the harbor will not be com- pleted until 1031, At the middla of September this year (1020) there were 100,000,000 bushels of whoat ready for market in Western Canada, The crop cama in early, and it was threashed and marketed early; and that {a a condition which will continue to exist every year now, because yopr after year we are using t» a larger d the '"'combine", which threshes as it cuts, So by the 15th of September we had place in a strategic position in Western Canada 100,000,000 bushels of wheat which was near. er to Fort Churchill than to Fort William, and it could reach Fort Churchill sooner, When it was at Fort Churchill it was as near Liverpool as it would have been if it wan at Montreal, That is to say, it cut out tho whole of the trip by lake and canal from Fort William to Montreal, You cut out the time and you cut out tho cont, Caade is now considering the probability and practicability of deepening that waterway, and t Is argued, very justly as I think, that it you deepen the waterway the opening of the you will 'cut halt or twoethirds of the cost. But the northern cults it all and as suming~-and there is no reason why Lhe assumptin 1s pot well based-~that while the season 's open the freight rate from Fort Churehill will be substantially what It Is from Montreal, it is perfectly obvious that from Lhe time the wheat beginr to go futo the elevator until the last pos. sible date in which ships can operate out of Fort Churchill, there will bo a concentrated pres. sure to put wheat through that funnel, Why? Because there w'l) be the saving of time and the saving of expense, and it will have the primary eall on the handling of wheat not only as against Montreal but as against Vane ecouy As A result of sure applied in (he West, ths Government decided that they would have to bulld the Hudso) Bay road, as you give a toy to a crying child, One of the Minis. tere sald to me, "Well, we have got to build the road, no alternative ie all right, afraid that ft tedious business educaticg route oul; political pres. there is No doubt that the route much will ba a long, the people to the possibilities of the route," [I do. not Government have any apprelien- slons whatever on that point now because the Dominion y ment and the Manitoba Govern kept people They Govern busy in Fom solutely ment are ver keeping Churehill deluged wiht demandy kinds of opportunities to open up Wharf accommo- out of Are a for all business there dation, yardage accommodation, all kinds of business including significant char necter, which that Churchill will be a great assem- some of a very RURBeHLE bling point for business on a large scale Well, are that will go out by the Bay country, Hs other things Scat. there tered through that you know, there are great min ing prospects for hase metal but 1 am very | | Get yd | think the | | | Phone 28 Now, those mines which are being | developed now ara developed on | the hasls of a freight rate to the | sen by Montreal, If over a cons siderable portion of the yea their product can come out through Hudson Bay, which i¢ next door, just 209 or 300 mils away, not only will It add enor mously to the profit of those par: tigular mines, bub it will mak. ponsible » the dovelopment of other mines, We have for Lhe moment, entirely lost our cattle trade with Great Britain, We may find it necessary Lo recover It, Our cattle from Western Car ada have been going to United Sintes, but they may be shut out from that country, ana the probabilities are they will; but through the coming north ern route, saving about 1200 miles as against Montreal, it wij) make possible the re-entry for one of our primary agricultural industries into the markels of Great Britain, | the Patterns for casting metal ar- ticles ars being made of copper by an electroplating process that are sald to he more accurate than wooden ones as they do not shrink, TIME LIMITED-- ACT NOW! on the purchase of a Parker Duofold [Pen or Pencil) For Your Old Pen or Pencil Look around your derk or home and gather up your old pers and pencils, Each is worth $1,00 to you at this store on the purchase of a Parker Duofold Guaranteed -for-Life Pen ($5.00 to $10.00) or Parker Duofold Pencil ($3.25 to $5.00), Only one pen or pencil allowed on each unit purchased, Here is an economical way to buy gifts for birthdays or bridge--even for next Christmes!
