The question of the transportation of the products of the country arly became a subject of the deepest interest to the later settlers of the North-west. They had not piven it any consideration in advance of theircoinin^, because without personal x peri, nee i: was impossible to realize the full importance of it ; and their minds were no doubt absorbed in anticipations raised to 'lie highest pitch liy the descriptions of the 'ii.iLjmui.li; and magnificence of this new territory. The sobering influence of a year or two's settlement brought them to a live- ly sense of their isolation. When they be an to realize that all, or nearly all, the pro- fit on a bushel of wheat was required to pay the charges of its transport it ion to the eastern markets, they found themselves con- fronted with a problem which involved MBKlor- , us^i.vi KNI i:s to tlieir future aud for some early solution of which there was a very real and pressing necessity. A brief study of the map sulli- ced to convince them that through Hud- son's Bay and Strait, .1 anywhere, must lie found the new and shorter route to Ku- rope which was to deliver them out of bon- Such was the simple and natural origin of the scheme of a Hudson's Boy railway. But there was the question of the naviga- tion of the Strait that had still to be rec- koned with before its feasibility would ta determined. Modern experience in rail- roading made it abundantly clear that there need be no difficulty with the land portion of the route, for it hod been demonstrated in numerous instances that engineering skill backed up with capital could over RIVKK VtVliiATIOS from Kort William to Montreal; Trince Albert and Edmonton will gain in triuispor tation the whole cost from Winnipeg to Montreal, whether by all rail or mixed rail and water. No enterprise* can abolish dis- tances, and thane advantage* will remain to the Hudson a Bay route whatever happens. Railway competition and the enlargmeut of the canals may eventually result in reducing east bound freights to a uo'iit very much below existing rales ; but to the North- weit Territories a* a whole there will be a saving at all time* and under all circum- stances equal to the ttntire cost of trans- portation from (''rtWilliiiiii to Montreal in many instances equal to that from Win- nipeg to Montreal. The advantage to Manitoba will be less in proportion as it is nearer to Lake Superior, but Unit it will always lie coimdriable is a* evident as the broad principles itself that distance regulate the cost. The ed'tor of this maga/.ine, in asking for a short paper on the subject of a Hudnin's Bay railway, ilid not, the writer ventures to think, expect or desire a discussion of such details as freight vnd insurance rales from Kort Nelson to Liverpool. These will probably be a tulle higher for a year or two at tlie beginning thau are those on the old established St. Lawrence route. The reader must settle what this difference is likely to be in Ins own mind and according to his own judg- ment : what is intended here is to point out aa shortly and clearly as possible THE N.UUKAI. ADV ANTA1JE8 of the northern route. and to show that these must inevitably tell in its favor when the . -mi.' creator obstacles than any that were likely to be encountered in the prosecution of this enterprise. But the navigation of the Strait was a different mutter, unless practicable all the achievements which were possible on land would go for nothing. It was dependent on conditions which science was powerless to influence. Investigation road is in full operation. It may be said, however, that there are no extra hozarnsu'l the navigation of the Bay and Strait; on I danger, dilliculty or condition of any k.ml e ' that will r ami inquiries relieved score, and established the Strait was the anxiety on this beyond doubt that I makcthuse rates higher than fiom Montreal, excepting it may be the newness and strangeness of the route ; and th-sc, it will be admitted, will wear oil with time. There is a popular misconception of the naturu of the counlrv tliroi^h which the railway is projected, tiie impression being that it is sterile and altogether untr settlement. The reports of the exploring parties that have been over the route- convey a different story. Along the whole line of the proposed road the country is fertile, well timbered, and in every way tit for cul- tivation and lor the support of a large population. Only for a few miUs near the bay itself, is there any ex- ception to this general condition, and along these the country is muskeg and conse. quently useless. This testimony lias re- cently been continued by a Northwest veteran, the Rev Mi. M, l>oue;all, who hud been over the route and was surprised to erati'on of'other means to relieve the heavy j find how far his preconceived notions uf tax ou the industry of the North west the whioh is unavoidable with the present faci- lities fur transportation. The favorite a id the most important of these is the enlarge- ment of the Welland and St. Lawrence .!., u, penmt ve**el* suitable for both , ^ k navigation to pass through NAVHiAlll.lnV HCE4N HTKAMERS for a sufficient period each year to justify the construction of Uio railway. Tnns was Us way made clear. The entire route was demonstrated to be feasible, and it only re- mained that the enterprise of man should proceed to develop it. This stage having been reached, and pend- ing the operations ot a com piny that was chartered some years ago to build the rail- way, the public mind turned to the consul i i \i * i i .

It is too much the custom to regard a railway to Hudson's Bay a* merely afford- ing an outlet for thu product* of the North eat.
