Railway Within 48 Miles of Church.
hill Terminus at Close. of 1928 -
Expenditure Totals $5,000,000
During Past Year,.
. Up-to-date information on the
progress 'Ade in the development
of Canada's Hudson Bay Route ie
contained in a report recently ore•
pared by the Natural Resources In-
telligence Service of the •Department
of the Interior in co-operation with
the Department of Railways and
slaw The objective set on the
extension of the Hudson Bay Rail
way during 1928 was Mile 400, thus
bringing the steel within 50 miles of
Churchill. Actually the steel, reach-
ed Mile 462 thus accomplishing all
that was expected and leaving only
48 miles to be constructed during
1929 to reach the tidetvater termni•
us.
The mobilization of men and inn,
tennis and equipment necessary to
accomplish the work planned for
1928 on the railway and at the port
is dealt with inthe report. At the
peak of operations during the season
it is stated that 2200 men were em-
ployed on the railway. At Churchill
the preliminary operations on port
development employed 349 men dur-
the season and a feature of the
operations that the work was mater-
ially expedited by the use of air-
planes which operated between
Churchill and the end of steel.
The report points out that the
visit to Churchill of Frederick Pal-
mer, eminent British Engineer, which
resulted in the selection of that port
as tidewater terminus, was made in
August 1927. In a little more than
a year from the date of Mr. Palmer's
report, the railway had been advanc-
ed 106 miles from the point at which
Churchill extension leaves the Ori-
ginal line to Nelson at Mile 356. In
the operations of 1928 the equip-
ment used on the Hudson Bay Rail-
way work included three steam eeee
shovels, a tracklaying machine and
twelve locomotives.
The past summer was a very busy ,
one at . Churchill in the construction
of temporary docks and the com-
mencement of permanent construct-
ion, During the navigation season
some 16,000 tons of material sent in
by sea from Halifax and Sydney
were unloaded at the new port end
the dipper dredges, "Churchill No.
1" nd "Churchill No. 2" built at
Montreal especially for the work ap-
peared on the scene as well as the
hopper barge "Chesterfield." A
second hopper barge was also towed
from Port Nelson to Churchill and
added to the equipment. The arrival
of the dredges clears the way for an
early start on extensive development
this year and large supplies of ma-
terials are now on hand for prose-
cuting the work.
Up to March 31, 1928, there had
been expended on the work et
Churchill, $807,950 and during the
present fiscal year to November 30
there had been 'a further expendi-
ture of $2,561,000 making a total of
$8,458,950. The expenditure on
the Hudson Bay Railway up to March
31, 1928, is given as $20,780,248 and
since that date up to November 30,
the report states, an addition'ii
$2,606,000 has been expended, a
total of $23,386,248. The expendi-
tures on the railway and port during
the 1928 season alone exceeded five
million dollars, The cost of the rail- I
way, exclusive of ocean terminals,
when completed it is estimated will
be in the neighborhood of $28,500,-
000.
28,500;000.
The development of the ocean ter -1
urinals will account for an expendi-
ture of many millions more and other
work in the development of Canada's I
northern transportation route in-,
eludes the establishment of modern .
aids to navigation in Hudson Bay 1
and Strait. The aerial expedition o3-
tablished by the Department of Mar-
ine and Fisheries at three points on
Hudson Strait in 1927 continued its
reconnaissance until late in 1928 and
much useful information bearing on
navigaton was secured. As a result
strategic locations for aids to navi-
gation are being selected and .these
will include direction -finding devices
which will be of invaluable assistar-
ce to navigators in those northern
waters.
The report on "Progress in Devel-
opment of Canada's Hudson Bay
Route" review the history of the
development of the Hudson Bay
transportation scheme and includes
a consideration of its economic as-
pects and of the mileage involved in
the new rail and water route from
various centres in Western Camila
to Liverpool.

who died during the recess. The
choice was macle on the fifth bat.

of the election.
Senator Willoughby secured the
leadership over Senators J. A, Cal.

Welland and Lieut.Col. I,. McMean,

When Senator Willoughby got his
majority on the fifth ballot over
Senator Calder, the cltoece was made
unanimous.
The selection of Senator Willon.
ghby for the ,leadership proved
somewhat of a surprise in parliamen
tarycircles, as speculation had pick-
ed Senator Calder as the most likely
choice.
Senator Willoughby was appoint-

signing his seat in the Saskatchewan
legislature to accept the position. He
had been Conservative leader in Sas-

of Sir Frederick Haultain.

BATTERY IN COLD WEATHER
Caution should be exercised A-
gainst the cells of a battery with
water in cold weather unless the car
is used directly afterwards. Until •
the battery is put on charge, as in •
operating the ear, the added water •
will not mix with the acid he the-
':ells. Instead, it will remain on top •
where it is apt to freeze. Since add -
Ing water is a process that tempor-
erily dilutes the entire electrolyte the
strength of the battery decreases.
with the result that it is more prone
to freeze than if it had not been at-
tended to. A .run-down battery will
freeze- at an outside temperature of
a0 clear•.+es above zero. More severe
weather is necessary to freeze a bat-
tery that is set into a covered box,
but usually the owner of a car with
such improved design seldom lets the
h ttery get below par.
Dirty nil will cause wear to the
engine,
A strong het spark is an import-
ant factor in powe-t of an engine.
A "dark car" whose owner has
failed to turn on his lights as soon
es darkness approaches is a menace
en the highway.
A knock in the engine is an in-
dication of looseness, due to wear,
a break or a loose bolt, and some-
times to a bent part.
Have the battery, distributor, coil,
generator and spark plugs checked
by an expert electrician. It will be
money well spent. Most calls for.
first aid are necessary- because these
units fail to function.
Tires that are worn through to
the fabric should be discarded in
rainy weather. Water soaks into the
fabric and increases the danger of a
blow-out or puncture.
Water spilled in pouring it in the
radiator will sometimes put a mag-
