hope to solve fate franklin expedition i department of the interior secures interesting docu ments which may ad vance search j for over threequarters of a century the fate of sir john frankliu and of the 123 officers and men of his expedi- j tlon has been wrapped in mystery events of the past few moathi have j given rise to the hope that additional light may be shed upon the details of that heroic adventure by the aid of documents and sketches which hon charles stewart minister of the in terior ha3 acquired for the use of the department after an investigation by mr o s finnic director of the north west territories and yukon branch sir john franklins expedition sail ed into the arctic in 1s45 in the two ships erebus and terror the srips were seen by a whaler near the en trance to lancaster sound on july 26 in that year and from that time neith er the ships nor any members of their crews were seen again by white men in 1s51 doctor john rae an officer of the hudsons bay company found a band of eskimos who said they had seen white men travelling painfully southward along the short of king william island and that these men had all died in 1s59 captain leopold mciintock found in a cairn at vic tory point near the northwest angle of king william island a printed ad miralty form on the margin of which was written over the signatures of captains crozier and fitzjames the commanders of the two ships a few terse but very impressive sentences these conveyed the information that sir john franklin had passed away on june 11 1s17 that eight other offi cers and fifteen men had died that the ships had been abandoned and that the remainder of the expedition 105 persons in all would start the fol lowing morning april 2g 1s4s for back river on the mainland although many other expeditions have sought for franklin this is the only record that has been found of the illfated party it lias- always been held by authori ties on exploration that important re cords of the expedition must have been deposited by the survivors be fore the effort to reach civilization by way of back river was begun and that the most probable place was in the grave of the leader the depart ment of the interior would not at this late date be justified in equipping and sending out an expedition to search for the grave of sir john franklin but with the development of canadas uorthland departmental officers con cerned with the care of the native population are continually patrolling through that portion of the arctic and it would be an inexpensive matter for litem to devote a little time to search ing for records which would be of the greatest value to canada and to the empire therefore when a short time ago hon charles stewart was appraised that documents were in existence which purported to give the location of franklins grave he direct ed that the matter be carefully investi gated and as a result the papers and maps have been purchased for tiie de partment these papers consist of a lengthy manuscript accompanied by maps pre pared many years ago from the state ments of a member of the expedition headed by the united states explorer charles f hall this expedltlonspent the period from 18gt to 18g9 in the north engaged in the search for franklin according to the statement halls expedition broke up in disorder owing to internal troubles and on that account this valuable information was lost to the head of the expedition explorers of the department of the interior have frequently visited king jvilllnm island in the course of their regular duties but in practically every case they have been there in winter when everything is covered with ice and snow and besides the documents indicate that the graves are in a lo cality which is not ordinarily tra versed by departmental officers or others the study of these documents is be ing continued and at tho first oppor tunity when an explorer of the north west territories and yukon branch is in that part of the arctic he will be instructed to make a search for the grave of the famous explorer xa- turil resources 15- why should he suffer from rheumatism like this if be would accept thm ad vice of

newest seaport is opened sometime in the summer of this year it will be the scene of an interesting social experimenu the land within the limits of the townsitj will not be sold tut will be leased by the manitoba government under whose administration the townsite comes since churchill was chosen in 1917 as the seaboard terminal of the hud son bay railway it has been a great camp with hundreds of workers en gaged in harbor and railway construc tion in the summer and a small staff in charge of the plant in winter but as the chief depot of the new trans atlantic route by way of hudson bay it is expected to be at once a centre of important interests such as trans portation mining grain handling and fishery the harbor improvements that have been planned cannot be finished earlier than 1932 and the presence of the army of workmen engaged in this development will give the new town a kail conection is now the whole stretch of 511 miles from the pas to churchill regular trains run over a part of the line but winter connection is not main tained at present to the bay the entire line will it is expected be in regular operation in the spring of 1931 though the future of churchill is regarded very favorably by many the inflation which has attended such sentiment in the case of other pros pective railway centres has been wholly prevented by the refusal of the manitoba government so far to give rights in land of the townsite the provincial government of manitoba availing itself of facilities afforded by dominion authority has prepared plans for the development of se towns of the north including church ill it is expected that churchill will be open to newcomers early next sum mer the effects of planning and of the new system of landholding will then be seen the hudson bay railway
