Since the first agricultural settle- ment on the prairie there has been a demand for the construction of this railway. It was repeatedly promised; and as often the promise remained unfulfilled. When Hon. Frank Coch- rane became Minister of Railways be personally inspected the proposed route, sailing through the'Straits and across the Bay to Churchill and Net- . HON. FRANK COCHRANE. Sketch by McConnell. eon. HIe decided that if the road was built that Port Nelson was the best terminus, and his decision has since been unanimously 1 s y approved. From Port Nelson he made the journey to Y Le Pas, and from this inspection decided to immediately build the railway and equip the port on find - eon's Bay, Almost Direct Line. From Le Pas to Port Nelson in. a direct line is 400 miles, and the rail. way will be only 420 miles, about as direct a line for the distance as there is on this continent. t. This road will beded ra Into g Port Nelson this year and steel laid on two-thirds of it. Next summer the steel will be carried forward to Nelson in time to handle a part of the crop. While the con- struction of the railway has be -en making rapid progress equal energy has been shown in the equipment of the port. All supplies for work at Port Nelson had to be taken from Halifax through the Straits, and yearly a dozen freighters have suc- cessfully made the trip and to a con- siderable degree settling the question of the feasibility of navigating these waters. A huge dredge Wan towed from Toronto to Port Nelson and has been at. work for two seasons straightening and deepening the channel. Docks, wharves, and ter- minal yards have been Constructed, and plans secured for a transfer ele- vator' to be built next season, In preparation for opening of this grain route wireless stations are now being established along the Straits and lighthouses erected where required. So that on the completion of the rail- way there will be -no delay in utiliz- ing this new route to market the Western crop. Development of Resources. In addition to providing a new route for Western trade, the railway will permit of the development of the valuable fish and mineral resources of Hudson's Bay, now practically ,un- touched. The fisheries are among the most valuable in the "world, and there is plenty of evidence that the. minerals of that district are, equally valuable. Along the line from Le Pas to Port Nelson are great areas of good agricultural lands which in time will support a large population. The construction of this railway and port through a comparatively unknowns country has been done in record time. To build a harbor on Hudson's Bay, only accessible for a few months of the year, and then only by Water, was a great --task and without any precedents to guide the builders. It has been done at a small cost, without hardship or loss, of life, and stand., as a splendid example of the energy and foresight of the Min- ister of Railways, It brings the West closer to its European markets and P, Iri0 to those of the Maritime Pro - 35 Cents will pay a sub to The News - Record to end of 1915, o►o►O.O►Geo1o.0►p.O.oepOo oro►o.!re.

I3ALA E NC OF TRADE IN CANADA'S FAVOR Large increase in Domestic Exports —Statement by Hon. Dr. Reid. The balance 'of trade as shown by July returns still continues in Can- ada's favor. Our people are burying less abroad and selling more, build- ing up a balance in our favor that must have a beneficial effect on the financial and industrial stability of our country. The total, Canadian trade for the month of July reached $100,000,000, according,to the statement issued by the Hon. S. D. Reid, Minister of Cus- toms. For the corresponding month of 1914 the total tradeamounted to $93,000,000. Increase in Exports. The feature of the statement is the large increase in the domestic and foreign exports, During the month of July domestics exports reached $45,600,000 and foreign goods, ex- ported from Canada $16,000,000, compared with $41,000,000 domestic and $8,000,000 foreign for the cor- responding month of 1914. Eleven million dollars worth of animals and their produce was exported during July, being a substantial increase over the corresponding month last year. Manufactured goods also show a good increase; the exports being $12,600,000 against $5,800,000 for July, 1914, imports is k'eA Off. While the exports are booming there is a decrease in the merchan- dise entered for consumption. Dur- ing July $36,000,000 worth of goods were imported, made up of $20,000,- 000 dutiable and. $15,000,000 free goods. ' This is a falling off for the corresponding month of 1914, when the imports amounted to $42,000,- 000, made up of $26,000,000 dutiable and $16,000,000 free goods, For the Lour months of the present fiscal year, ending July 31st last, the total Canadian trade was $371,000,- 000, 371,000;000, compared with $306,000,000 for the four months of the corresponding period last year. Last; July $13,000,- 000 worth of coin and bullion was exported. • ASSISTANCE PROVIDED FOR CROP MOVEMENT Minister of .Finance Offers to Co- operate With Banks. The Minister of Finance has spe- cially drawn the attention of the Bankers' Association to the provisions of the Finance Act of 1914, under which advances may be obtained in Dominion notes upon approved col- lateral. The Minister thinksthath t e Canadian crop will this year be un- usually large and valuable, but that owing to war conditions and the state of the exchanges the movement t will likely be slow. This means that the financial demands in connection with the crop movement will , be heavier and more prolonged than previously: While the banks are In an.unusnally liquid condition and probably able without assistance to handle the situation, the Minister feels that the unusual demands of grain customers might h t result in cur- tailed cu -tailed banking accommodation to other sections of the community, and he therefore urges the banks not to hesitate to avail themselves of the privileges of the Act. As Dominion notes issued against grain bills would be retired irons time to time as the crop was sold there is no reason to apprehend a redundancy of note cir- culation should the banks freely avail themselves of the invitation of the Minister. With abundance of funds available for the crop movement there will he less likelihood of its being pressed for sale, at least against the desire of producers and dealers. CANADA IS MAKING 50,000 SHELLS DAILY It, the production of 'Munitions of war in Canada 146 factories are now engaged on the $162,000,0.00 order placed here for the British Govern- ment by the Canadian Shell Commis- sion. In addition to this huge order there are at least $10,000,000 worth of munitions being produced for the Russian Government. Mr. D. A. Thomas, representative of the British Government in Canada, has inspected all our munition factories in Ontario. and the otherEasternprovinces, and has stated that tlieir capacity and effi- ciency have been a revelation to him and further' greatorders are a cer- tainty. Already the Canadian pro- duction of shells amounts to 30,000 per day, and soonwill reach 50,000. The production of fixed ammunition has been greatly increased, and will soon overtake the output of empty shells. Britain's Men. There are In Britain over six mil- lion illion men between the ages of eigh- teen and forty' -five., Or if you prefer it, $1.25 in advance will. pay to end of next year. Hallett, Township ,J.
