PRINCE ENJOYS VISIT
TO SOUTH AFRICA
Sets Oast on Journey to South
America by Way'of St.
Helena.
A despatch from Cape Town, Union
of South Africa, says:—The Prince
of Wales, looking bronzed and much
more robust than when he came to
South Africa, sailed Prem • Simon's
Town, the naval station, for South
America at four o'clock Wednesday
afternoon. He will go by way of St.
Helena -
The Prince said he never fest bet-
ter in his life and had enjoyed the
climate enormously.
"Leese that\ I have got to know
something about South Africa," he re-
marked, "and 1' hope I can now be re-
garded es' a good South African!'
.Prior' to sailing the Prince' knighted
Beer Admiral Fitzmaurice, Command-
er -in -Chief Ohief of the African •station, on
the quarterdeck of the flagship Birm-
1ingham in the presence of the Cover-
; nor -General, the Earl of Athlone, and
ti the' ship's officers.
There is a fervent hope throughout
Maui South 'Africa that Prince may re-
t, turn in 'a private capacity, and par-
titniarly that he may eventually be-
come s South African farmer as he is
a Canadian farmer.
Hudson Bay Pictured as
Summer Resort for Motorists
•
A procession of tourists driving
into.the picturesque northland on their
own family motor cars, fitted - with
flanged rims to grip the rails of the
Hudson Bay, line,"is the ingenious
scheme proposed by R. M. Haultain,
a railway construction engineer of
Winnipeg.
Mr, Iiaultain ,believes '"that such
traffic over the goyernment railway
will present no _difficulties. • To ob-
viate any "-danger of accidents,' he
would placard the line to the effect
that the odd days of the month would
,be teseeved for northbound. traffic
anceathe even `days for southbound.
Each car would be required to carry
a light derailing shoe to provide for
emergencies.
The investment on the part of the
railway company for flanged rims,
trailers, steering ygear Ioeks, etc.,
would be negligible, declared Mr.
Haultain, when compared with the
increased revenue obtained from
freighting cars to ' different points
along the Hudson Bay line.

pected to be away about three months.
