Show SOUTH CACHE COURIER, HYRUM, UTAH was an debate In the house of commons, provoked by the Progressives. In winding up the debate Minister Graham reminded the house that he himself signed the first contract and turned the first sod. And he said, in part: As to the project itself, someone will build the Hudson Bay railway and I am not going to argue the question of navigation and all that sort of thing. I have said time and time again that the construction of the railway os a colonization road will be valuable In that respect, even If the end transportation were left out altogether. But I think every member will agree with me that parliament as now constituted is not Age, there AFTER BABY all-nig- ht ess .$ . - , Him Kitchen Cabinet Western Newspaper (.Cleanliness Is a fine 1924, , Union.) CHICKEN SOUPS SHERMAN HALL Canada materialize its dream of a generation and complete the Hudson a road Bay railway planned to connect Its great western grain fields with salt water at Port Nelson and open a new grain export route to Liverpool? That Is a question that Is stirring all Canada, setting the West against dethe East and provoking bates in parliament. There Is seemingly no doubt at this writing that the road will be completed In time. But whether it will be completed as a grain export route or as a colonization and general carrier road is apparently an open question. The Hudson Bay railway starts at The Pas, Manitoba, on the Saskatchewan river, at the end of a branch line of the former Canadian Northern railway, and runs to Hudson bay, northeast, almost as the crow flies, along the Nelson river, to Port Nelson, near the mouth of that stream. The length of the line is 425 miles ; 325 have been constructed to Kettle Rapids at a cost of $20,500,000. The estimated cost of the remaining 100 miles is $5,000,000. Take a look at the map of North America. Note that Port Nelson, on the west shore of Hudson bay, is almost due north of Chicago, and that The Pas is almost due north of Omaha. Now note the distance from The Pas (or Winnipeg) to Montreal, either by all rail or via Lake Superior and Georgian bay. In round figures the saving in mileage by the Hudson Bay. road In respect to certain points is as follows : Regina, 1,050 miles ; Calgary, 1,150; Saskatoon, 1,175; Prince Albert and Melfort, 1,300. Then figure that Port Nelson and Montreal are practically the same distance by sea from And finally Liverpool 3,000 miles. bear In mind that the Hudson Bay road Is a government project. It Is a part of the Canadian National railways a system of 22,000 miles which the World war left on the hands of the Canadian people. It was rushed during the early years of the war, but work was discontinued in 1917. Why, then, should there be any question about the completion of the new export route project? That there is a question is shown by two facts: The Engineering Institute of Canada Is investigating whether or not the project can be made worth while as a measure of national economy. Moreover, the house of commons has refused to make appropriation for its completion. The terminal for transshipment to vessels will have to be built 20 miles up the Nelson river, say the engineers. all-nig- ht : That is tyecause of ce troubles and prepared to votdr money for the com shoal water. The most optimistic estimates of terminal costs of construction are: about $4,500,000 for harbor and channel dredging ; nearly $6,000,000 for storage facilities; about $7,000,000 for lighthouses and other marine equipment along the channel and In Hudson strait connecting the bay with the ocean ; total, including the 100 miles of road, $22,500,000. The longest open season that can be expected Is fifteen weeks, beginning about the middle of August; in some years it has been no more than ten weeks. This short season, suggest the engineers, will so place limitations on the capacity of the railway that large elevator capacity will have to be provided at the port. They also suggest that it will so affect the availability of tramp vessels that freight rates must remain largely conjectural. W. Nelson Smith, in a discussion before, the Winnipeg branch of the institute, said that a liberal estimate of the grain that would move by this outlet Is from 16,000,000 to 24,000,000 bushels. He put the most favorable conjectural transportation saving at about ten cents a bushel, disregarding Insurance. Incidentally, It may be stated that in 1922 Canadas exports of wheat (Including flour) were 179,606,000 bushels and the total exports of wheat, oats, barley and rye were 232,808,000 bushels. According to the Railway Age, a hitherto unpublished ireport on the feasibility of completing the Hudson Bay road project by David W. engineer in charge of dredging operations at Port Nelson, was tabled in the house of commons at Ottawa In June. This' report was submitted to the department of railways and canals in September, 1917. estimated the average season of navigation at two months ; the rate on grain from Saskatoon to Liverpool via Fort William and Montreal at 26.4 cents a bushel and the rate from Saskatoon to Port Nelson, including handling charges, at 19.9 cents, thus leaving a margin of &5 cents for the ocean rate, extra insurance and the interest on the cost of the works. He said the average rate paid tramp steamers from Montreal to Liverpool was 7 cents and that they would inevitably choose the Montreal route unless there was a higher margin at Port Nelson. W. D. Euler, Liberal member for North Waterloo, asked if there were reports subsequent to that of Mr. Graham, minister of railways' and canals, replied that there were and that they would be submitted when asked for. Loud applause from the Progressives greeted this pletion of the Hudson Bay railway. The vote was 78 to 20 against The government treated it virtually as a want of confidence vote, so it was probably not a test vote, as some of the Progressives voted with the Liberals and Conservatives. This is, however, far from being the end of the matter. Western Progressive members are strong for the early completion of the project. 'It has been the dream of Western Canada ever since it found it could raise grain. It should be noted that another road to Hudson bay Is being built. It is an extension from Cochrane north to James bay of the Temiskaming & Northern Ontario railway, owned by the province of Ontario. Its purposes have to do with colonization, fisheries and coal from the northwest shore of Hudson bay. To the student of American history this Hudson Bay grain export route project is of intense interest. Port Nelson and the Nelson river were the headquarters and trade highway of the Hudsons Bay company chartered in 1670 by King Charles n of England and the biggest and most efficient monopoly the world has ever seen. With power of life and death and monopoly of trade over all of British North America to the Rockies it successfully barred the way to civilization for 150 years. H. B.

ONION THERES STRENGTH Just notice the families who serve Onions in some form often, cooked or uncooked; you will observe that they are all as a rule in good health. The onion is soothing to the nerves, a sleep producer, allays inflammation of the mucous membrane and is antiseptic. Quite enough for one small vegetable to put It in a class by itself. An onion poultice on the lungs has been known to break up a very bad cold. Onion sirup for a bad cough is a great relief. A stuffed onion is a very tasty dish. Take the vegetable of medium and uniform size, peel and parboil for ten minutes or until tender enough to remove the center. Chop the removed portion, mix with meat or nuts, butter and bread crumbs and fill the onions. Place in .a baking dish with any good stock, or, lacking that, add butter and water, basting often until the onion is perfectly tender. Sprinkle the tops with buttered crumbs and brown in a hot oven or for a minute place under the gas flame. Serve at once. This Is a nice dish to serve as a garnish to a platter of pork chops. Onions Stuffed With Peppers. Parboil until nearly tender, six onions of even size. Remove the centers, chop d and mix with green been have that parboiled.

Collectors eventually heard of the discovery and induced the children to part with their ancient toys. The articles, in the judgment of the experts, date back to about 120 B. C. The ring, of artistic though barbaric design, has been placed in the museum of Christiania university, while the vanity box has been going the rounds among experts who are eager to determine if it contained a powder puff among its appurtenances, or, if not, what might have been in use to take its place in those days.
