The Klotz Overland Hudson's Bay Expedition. 323 



The vast plains of the Saskatchewan Rivers are yet unsettled 

 and undeveloped; but at no very distant future millions of prosperous 

 inhabitants, sustaining an immense commerce, will find comfortable 

 and happy homes in that region. From the above approximate 

 distances, it is quite easy to see that this vast territory must be 

 served by the Hudson's Bay route. But we must continue our 

 journey from the Forks to Lake Winnipeg, and thence by the 

 Nelson River to Hudson's Bay.
