Bay railway. The importance of Canada to the parent country is 

 so great that, in a few 3 r ears at most, one may expect to see a dis- 

 position manifested on the part of the latter for closer federal

 development of Canadian resources, the construction of railways in 

 connection with Hudson's Bay, and the establishment of an extensive 

 international commerce through channels on Canadian latitudes, 

 and consequent national prosperity. Such are the prospects of 



Our North Land.
