Show THE SALINA SUN, SAUNA, UTAH Airmen to Map Hudson Strait Canada Flyers and Aids to Explore Channel as Traffic Route. Toronto, Ont rifty Canadian aviators and geographers will sail from Halifax early In July on a spectacular arctic, or subarctic, piece of exploration, which may easily surpass In dramatic Interest and In scientific discoveries of benefit to mankind any polar flight or expedition. Their destination Is Hudson strait, that great ocean chnnnel M0 miles long by 75 miles wide which connects Hudson hoy with the Atlantic ocean. On Its Inhospitable shores, Just on the edge of the land of the midnight sun, they will he Isolated for 15 months all through one long arctic "winter and two brief summers. The object of the expedition Is to collect data on the navigation prolv-lem- s of Hudson strait, which, of course, will be the ocean outlet of the Hudson Day railway now under construction from northern Manitoba to Port Nelson, on the west const of Hudson hay. Little Known as Traffic Route. Though Hudson strait has been navigated ofT and on for 300 years, very little Is known about Its potentialities as a regular traffic route. The Impression has prevailed thut It Is safe for traffic during only two or two and a half months each season. During the rest of the year navigators have found It choked with Ice. While the Hudson Hay railway Is being built on the assumption that this new traffic route will have only a brief season, there are enthusiasts who maintain Its possibilities are Immensely greater. They confidently expect a six months sen son and some go so far as to say that the strait, with modern aids to navigation, cun be kfgt open all the year round. They say It Is unreasonable to supr expanse, pose that a deep with heavy currents 75 miles wide at Its narrowest point, remains choked with Ice during the periods described, and argue that there Is prob ably a natural open channel through the Ice all through the year. Spaces are so Immense that ships would easily miss the channel, but tlmt does not prove its nonexistence. This year's uerlul expedition will seek to discover the truth about (Iud son Ftrnlt. When an appropriation of $850,000 was asked for the purpose In parliament a week or two ago one critic objected that the only way to test the navigability of Hudson sirall was by actually navigating It with ships. Hut the minister declared that the airplanes would get more useful Information In one season than would a fleet of ships In teu years. Moreover, wireless stations and camps that will he established by the expedition will probably serve as per manent equipment tor the successful navigation of the stralL The assignment, which has been turned over to the royal Canadian air force. Is without parallel In the annuls of flying. Map students may think of Hudson hay as lying ftlthln the limits of civilization or at least on Its edge. It Is nothing of the sort. The eastern end of It Is 1,000 miles northwest of St. John's, N. F and the main base of the expedition, lying due noith of Ottawa, Is as far from civilization ns Duluth Is from New Orion ns. Plan Three Bases. The Intention Is to eMaMBh three bases. One of these will he at Iort Harwell on the northern tip of at the entrance to the strait; the second and main base, geaeral headquarters, will he on the north shore at Lake Harbor on Haffin Land, nnd the third will he at the entrance to Hudson hay at Nottingham Island, 51X1 miles from the first base.

In addition, each airplane will be equipped with wireless for communication, both voice and key, with the stations.
