The examination made was one of the natui'e of a rapid reconnaissance, but Mr. Dufresne states that sufficient information has been obtained to show that any under- taking with a view to establi.=ihing navigation on the Nelson river would be a work of considerable magnitude.

This wiii-k was aiitlmrized by you in insti'iu'tions contained in ynur teleorani of August 2(1, l!IOi). The iuvestifiatldU has 1 n entrusted to Mr. K. S. Miles, who was detached temporarily from the St. Andrews luck slatf for this ]>nrpose. Owing- to the short time at our disposal, before the end of navigation, the exam- ination in the field was of the nature of a rapi. Distances from Warren's Landing were obtained from Otto Klotz's survey of 1SS4. The elevation of Split lake is 470 feet above mean sea level, actual levels, for whicli information I am indebted to "Mr. Armstrong', f^rief Engineer of the Hudson Bay Railway. Lake Winnipeg is about dev. 700 as obtained by barometer readings at Norway House and York Factory. From the infornuition gathered on the trip, I have obtained an approximate profile of the river, (see general plan), and come to the following conclusions: — 19b— 1 Norway House — From River Kntrance.

Channel about 500 feet wide, with deep water (over 20 feet). Side banks show 15 to 25 feet, gr,idually rising behind. In several place-^ between these two rapids, the current exceeds four miles an hour. The total fall in Bladder rapids is 10-6 feet, and at this place the waters of the Nelson river are all in one channel for the first time. About two miles below Bladder rapids the river divides, the west channel flowing to Sepewesk lake, by n-ay of Duck lake. The York boat route follows the East river; the first rapid encountered being Over the Hill rapids which has a fall of 95 feet. The distance from Bladder to Over the Hill rapids, is about .seven miles. All sound- ings taken were over 20 feet, the current in places exceeding four miles an hour. Side banks rocky, and from 25 to 35 feet high. 19b— 1 J 4 DEPAh'TMFM OF PI liLlf WOh'Ks 1 GEORGE v.. A. 1911 •■4C-0 Ne/son Ri ^er ■47 0 - Section of River GAUGIXCi NELSOX HIVKK.

Sea River Falls. (West Fall. ) 6 NELSON lilVER S[ RVET 1 GEORGE v., A. 1911 Red Kock rapids is the next large rapid, distant from Over the Hill, about three and one-half miles. A small chute of two feet fall is also found between the two. All soundings taken were over 20 feet, the channel is wide and the banks about .3.5 feet high. The total fall in Red Rock rapids is 10-.5 feet. Below Red Rock rapids, the channel is wide (about 2,000 feet) and all soundings were deep. The fall in the next rapid. Chain of Rocks, is 1-2 feet, the channel being blocked by a chain of small islands. Leaving Chain of Rocks rapids, the channel graduall.v expands into Sepewesk lake. Cut clay shows on both sides from a few feet above water. East bank, about 50 feet high. Sepewe.sk lake is very picturesque, being dotted with small islands 10 to 12 feet above water and covered with evergreens. Some of the spruce on these islands are as large as 15 inches at the butt. About half way down the lake, where the islands are numerous, the current becomes very strong, and again at the east end of the lake the current is bad. The shallowest sounding obtained was 15 feet. Islands all show rock. At the east end of Sepewesk lake the Xelson river again comes into one channel of about 2.000 feet in width. At the entrance to the river, the banks show +15 to +20 feet with higher ground liehind. mck with clay on top on both shores. Three or four miles further down, the banks are higher, the west shore being principally rock, the east shore showing more clay, both running up to 50 or 60 feet. The soundings were all deep, but the channel in some places narrows to about 800 feet, and here the current exceeds four miles an hour. From the outlet of Sepewesk lake to Devils Xarrows rapids is a distance of 55 miles. Devils rapids and Devils Narrows rapids have a total fall of 5-7 feet. Devils rapids run through a rock gorge of about 400 feet at narrowest part. From Devils rapids to Grand rapids, a distance of 16 miles, the water is deep, the banks are rocky on the west shore and clay on the east. Both shores are high (+70') a short distance back from the water. At Grand rapids, the total fall is 20 feet and is found at a sharp bend in the channel. From Grand rapids to Chain of Islands rapids, the distance is four miles. The banks just below Grajid rapids run up to about 70 feet on the west, the east shore being irregular, while just above Chain of Islands rapids the banks are rock.v and about 30 feet above water. The fall in Chain of Islands rapids is 4-6 feet and about two miles below the rapid, the river expands into Split lake. The shallowest sounding obtained in the lake was 18 feet, but bad currents are found at the east end near the outlet. The Hudson's Bay Company's post is located on a sandy point (+35) about half-way down the lake, where the canoe route to Churchill leaves the Nelson. The islands in the lake all show rock. About three miles from the outlet of Split lake the rapids begin again. The total fall, in rapids, to Gull lake is 29-4 feet, the distance being 15 miles. The shores, near the river, are low, but higher ground was found (+40) below Birthday rapids, a short distance back. The current is strong all through Gull lake and at several jilaees exceeds four miles an hour. All soundings taken were over 18 feet. Gull Lake rapids are the first below Gull lake. At the beginning of the rapids the main channel is expanded and tilled with islands, but narrows to about 2.000 feet farther down. The total fall is 67 feet. From Gull rapids to the first pitch in Kettle rapids is a distance of about 17 miles, with a couple of small chutes occurring between. The banks show cut clay to about 50 feet. At the head of Kettle rapids, the river is again divided by islands into several channels, but narrows in a couple of places before the foot of the rapids are reached. lOi'.ii ANri I'l.ow IJai'Ids.

NELSON RIVER SURVEY 11 "SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19b Tlie main liiuik- of tlie river are ami i'rciu tlu' funt of Kettle rapids the river runs through eut fhiy hanks, which in some ]ilaees are as high as 120 feet. These liifjh hanks eoiitinue on the west shore to Iludson hay and on the east shore to Seal islands. Solid ror-k is always seen along the shores of rapids and many i)r(),iections of the shore line show rock. From Kettle rajjids to the ' Extreme- Head nf Xavigation ' are two rapids. Long Spruce (fall +85-5') and Limestone (fall 4-85-2'). A great many rocky islands and Teefs are exposed in Long Spruce rapids. The point known as the ' Extreme Head of Navigation ' is ahout 50 miles, up the river, from Seal islands, or 75 miles from Hudson bay. The current in this piece of T-iver is very strong throughout, and although the shallowest water sounded was 12 feet, many gravel bars are to be found in the channel. In the upper- part of the river, the hanks are generally low and the river is more suitable for diversions by means of canal and locks, than by means of dams and raised water levels. Proposed locations for these diversions have been roughly investigated, ihe results of which are incorporated in the following sheets. In the lower part of the river, which naturally lends itself to the lock in eom- liination with dam and raised water level system, no details have been worked out ■owing to limited time at our disposal, beyond observations as to, height of banks, "width of channel, fall in rapids, and soundings wherever possible. Details of Location. Playgreen lake and the West river have already been navigated, as far as Whisk.v Jack Portage, by a tug drawing six feet of water and having a maximum speed of ■seven miles an hour. Several rock shoals are found in the lake at the south end, but Tiot for any continuous distance. Even in Lake Winnipeg, a short distance from the mouth of the river, a small shoal is found in the channel over wdiich a boat drawing nine feet cannot pass, without touching, when the water is low. About six or eight miles from Wliisky Jack a shoal is found extending across the channel. The deepest water found on this shoal is eight feet, but the bottom is gravel and boulders. Two miles from AVhisky Jack, the channel is narrow and the current is very ■strong but the water is deep and a boat with a speed of 10 miles an hour would have 110 dilRculty. The river, from the end of Playgreen lake to Cross lake, in which the rapids occur, was not seen by the writer, but Plate No. 2 shows a i^rofile of ground between Play- green lake and Cro.ss lake. The distance is about four and a half miles and would "be the shortest possible route from Lake Winnipeg to Cross lake. No rock was seen at the south end of the Portage, or above the elevation of Playgreen lake, at any point on the Portage. (The difference in elevation of the two lakes is between 45 and 50 feet.) By raising the elevation of Cross lake about five feet, no dredging would be necessary and the current would be slack to the head of Ebb and Flow rapids. To do this, a dam would be constructed at the head of Edd and Flow rapids and also in the other two channels leading from Cross lake, just above the first rapid in each. Plate No. 3 shows Ebb and Flow rapids. From information obtained, the writer judges the other two channels to bo about the same size. A diversion of about 2,500 feet would here be necessary together with the lock and dams. From Ebb and Flow rapids to White ^Mud falls no improvement is necessar.v and it is therefore not necessary to dam the river above the rapid. Plate No. 4 shows the locatioii.

Graham, Minister of Railways and Canals. Sir, — I have the honour to submit the annual report of the Department of Rail- ways and Canals for the fiscal period of twelve months ended March 31, 1910. The annual reports of the engineers, together with general and sjpeeial reports from superintendents, both of railways and canals, and from other officers in the department are given in appendices. In Part I, will be found statements showing the amounts expended during the past fiscal year in construction, repair and maintenance of the several works under the department; also statements showing total expenditure on each canal since its con- struction, and on each of the government railways; also a statement showing payments made, year by year, to subsidized railways, with the aggregates of such payments. On February 5, 1910. Mr. M. J. Butler, C.M.G., who filled the dual office of deputy minister and chief engineer, resigned, and on my appointment, on that date, to the position of deputy minister, the department reverted to the principle of having a special officer as chief engineer, and this office was filled by the appointment, on April 22, 1910, of Mr. W. A Bowden, who had been acting in that capacity for some time previous. Another change of importance was the constitution, under an order in council dated April 20, 1909, of a ' Government Railways Managing Board ' with whom now rests the duty of carrying out the various details attaching to the operation of these roads. GENERAL SUMMARY. During the twelve months of the past fiscal year the expenditures made by or through the department on its several works of operation, maintenance and construc- tion, both railway and canal, and in furtherance by subsidy, under specific votes granted by parliame?it, of railway enterprises in various parts of Canada other than the government roads, aggregate as follows : — The total railway expenditure amounted to $.33,862,094.46, of which $21,505,975.91 was charged to capital, $2,260,214.59 to income and $9,095,903.96 to revenue. The railway expenditure on capital account included $19,968,126.86 for the eastern division (from Moncton to Winnipeg), of the National Transcontinental railway, which is in course of construction by a board of commissioners, and $53,042.63 for sur- veys for a line of railway to Hudson bay. The railway expenditure on income included a total of $2,048,097.05 paid as sub- sidies to railways other than the government roads, $112,465.04 for the Board of Rail- way Commissioners for Canada, $17,644.66 for inspection of the Grand Trunk Pacific hallway, and $111,788.02 for preparing plans, &c., for the reconstruction of the bridge across the River St. Lawrence above Quebec — known as the Quebec bridge. 7 viii DfiPARTMEXT OF RAILWAYS AVD CAXALS 1 GEORGE v., A. 1911 The expenditure on the Intercolonial railway amounted to $9,923,479.78, namely, on capital account $1,278,409.45, and on revenue account $8,645,070.33. On the main- tenance of the Windsor branch the expenditure was $23,549.90, charged to revenue account. On the Prince Edward Island railway, the total expenditure was $633,680.70, of which $206,396.97 was charg'ed to capital and $427,283.73 to revenue. The expenditure on canals aggregated $3,259,097.18; of which $1,650,706.64 was on capital account, $489,256.68 on income, $604,899.26 for staff and $514,234.60 for repairs, the last two amounts being charged to revenue. Adding to the above for miscellaneous expenditures in both branches the sum of $4,706.79, the total expenditure for the year on railways and canals amounted to $36,125,898.43. The total revenue derived from the railway and canal works was $9,841,347.99, of which the railway produced $9,647,963.71, and the canals $193,384.28,* the sum of $16Sj893.63 being received from hydraulic rents. 1 The total government expenditure on railways prior to and since Confederation (July 1, 1867) up to March 31, 1910, amounts, on capital account, to $236,654,665.29, including the sum of $25,000,000 granted to the Canadian Pacific Railway Company for its main line, and also the amount $660,683.09 expended on the Annapolis and Digby railway. In addition, there has been expended from the consolidated fund a total of $202,532,757.03, making a total of $439,187,422.32. Of this amount the sum of $13,881,460.65 was expended, prior to Confederation, on the construction of portions of what is now the Intercolonial railway system. The government expenditure on canals prior to and since July 1, 1867, to the close of the fiscal year March 31, 1910, amounts, on capital account, to $96,982,449.37, of which $20,593,866.13 was expended prior to Confederation, and from the consolidated fund to $29,346,507.21, making a total of $126,328,956.58. The total expenditure on railways and canals up to March 31, 1910, is, as above, $565,516,378.90; adding to which, for general expenditures embracing both, the further sum of $810,358.32, the grand total expenditure amounts to $566,326,737.22.^} Details indicating the general classes and directions of the above expenditures will be found in the statements furnished by the accountant of the department and printed in the appendices hereto. Part I. GOVERNMENT R4ILWATS IN OPERATION. The government railways are the Intercolonial, the Windsor branch (maintained only, and leased for operation), and the Prince Edward Island railway. Details respecting these railways and their operation will be found in the appen- • Under the authority of an order in council, dated ,Tune 22, 1905, the system of charging tolls for the passage of vessels and goods was abolished on all the canals of the Dominion. Records, however, are kept for statistical purposes, and the compilation of the resultant figures is given in a separate report issued by the department. + This amount does not include the annual payment of $119,700 to the provincial govern- ment of Quebec, being interest at the rate of 5 per cent on the sum of S2,.394.000 up to 1905, granted by 47 Victoria, Ch. S (1884), nor the annual payment of $107,730, being interest at the rate of 4J per cent since and including 1905, on the said sum of $2,394,000, for the line between Ottawa and Quebec, which sum was tran.sferred to the public debt as a liability, and is dealt with bv the Finance Department. (See Public Accounts 1893-4, page 10, and 1906, page 79.) REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER ix SESSIONAL PAPER No. 20 dices, Part III., containing reports from the Government Railways Managing Board, and the officials of these roads. The gross earnings of the government roads for the twelve months ended March 31, 1910, amounted to $9,647,963.71; the working expenses amounted to $9,095,903.96, showing a profit of $552,059.75. The Intercolonial railway working expenses amounted to $8,045,070.33; its earn- ings amounted to $9,268,234.99; a profit of $623,164.66. The Windsor branch maintenance expenditure amounted to $23,549.90; the gov- ernment earnings amounted to $60,653.98, leaving a profit of $37,104.08. The Prince Edward Island railway working expenses amounted to $427,283.73 ; its earnings amounted to $319,074.74, the deficit being $108,208.99. INTERCOLONIAL RAILWAY. On March 1, 1898, the operations of the Intercolonial were extended to Montreal by means of leases obtained from the Grand Trunk and Drummond County Railway Companies, making an addition of 169-81 miles to the operation of the government line. The leasing agreement with the Grand Trunlc Railway Company, dated February 1, 1898, was confirmed by the Act 62-63 Vic, chap. 5 (1899). Its term extends for a .period of ninety-nine years from March 1, 1898; the annual rental being fijxed at $140,000. Under authority of the Act 62-63 Vic, chap. 6 (1899) the Drummond County railway from Chaudiere to Ste. Rosalie, together with the branch from St. Leonard 1o Nicolet, was acquired by the Doininiou: conveyance being made by a deed dated November 7, 1899. On October 1, 1904, the Canada Eastern railway from Gibson to Loggieville, 123-67 miles, was purchased, and on April 19, 1905, the mortgaged Fredericton and St. Mary's bridge, with connected property,, 1.33 mile, was surrendered to the govern- ment. The total mileage in operation during the year remained the same as in the pre- ceding year, 1,447- 13 miles. 23-13 miles are double-tracked. This is irrespective of spur lines and sidings and tracks in yards, the aggregate length of which was 383-71 miles. CAPITAL ACCOUNT. The expenditure for the past fiscal year ended March 31, 1910, on capital account amounted to $1,278,467.60; from which is deducted the sum of $58.15 (comprising a refund, &c.), leaving the total $1,278,409.45, making the total expenditure on the whole road as amalgamated under the Acts 54-55, Vic. chap. 50 (1891) and 62-63 Vic. chaps. 5 and 6 (1899), together with the acquired Canada Eastern railway, $92,273,073.51. The principal items charged to capital during the year were as follows (omitting cents) : for the new locomotive and car shops with equipment, and new freight yard at Moncton, $399,400; new machinery for shops, $95,799; increased accommodation at Halifax, $179,953; engine house, machine shops, &c., at Riviere du Loup, $156,945; extension to wharf at Dalhousie, $27,500; double tracking parts of line, $68,977; increased water supply, $42,482, and increased facilities at various points, $100,565. DEPART.yE\T OF HAILW.lYfi A.YD CAXALS 1 GEORGE v., A. 1911 The expenditure on capital account was $2,588,822.71 less than in the previous year 1908-9, in which year $1,353,646 was expended for rolling stock, whereas last year there was no capital expenditure under this head. REVENUE ACCOUNT. Expenditures on revenue account are grouped under five main heads, each divided into a number of sub-heads. The main heads and the expenditures under them for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1910, are as follows: maintenance of way and structures (27 sub-heads), $1,629,- 254.81, against which is a credit of $6,975.06 for maintenance of joint tracks, yards, &c., leaving the net amount $1,622,279.75; maintenance of equipment (21 sub-heads), $1,851,792.68; traffic expenses (5 sub-heads), $179,882.61; transportation expenses (40 sub-heads), $4,870,874.65, against which is a credit of $86,206.89 for operating joint yards and terminals, making the net expenditure under this head, $4,784,667.76 ; general expenses (8 sub-heads), $206,447.53.

The items of 'general expenses' include (omitting cents) : pensions, $63,313; and law expenses, $7,307. The gross earnings of the year, $9,268,234.99, were derived as follows : — The passenger earnings amounted to $2,765,884.66, or 29-84 per cent of the gross earnings; the freight earnings were $6,048,884.18, or 65-26 per cent of the gross; the mail and express earnings were $408,847.66 or 4-41 per cent and the miscellaneous earnings amounted to $44,618.49, or -48 per cent of the gross. The revenue derived from transportation was 99-32 per cent of the gross. The gross earnings per mile of railway (1,447.13 miles), were $6,404.56; per engine mile, $1.08; per train mile, $1.39; and per car mile, 9-82 cents. REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER xi SESSIONAL PAPER No. 20 The total engine mileage was 8,608,486; the total train mileage 6,682,353; and the total car mileage, 94,384,628.

The ratio of expenses to gross earnings was as follows: maintenance of way and structures, 17-50 per cent; maintenance of equipment, 19-98 per cent; traffic expenses, 1-94 per cent; transportation expenses, 51-62 per cent; and general expenses 2,-23 per cent. Comparing the twelve months ended March 31, 1909, with the^corresponding period ended on March 31, 1910, the revenue last year showed an increase of $741,163.53. The passenger traffic produced an increase of $137,066.09; the freight traffic an increase of $546,333.60; and the mails and express an increase of $57,165.84. The increase per mile of railway was $312.16, and per train mile 15 cents. A comparison of working expenses for the same periods shows a decrease in the year 1909-10, of $682,951.22, or per mile of railway, $471.95; per engine mile of 0-87 cents, and per train mile of 6 cents. The increased revenue, $741,163.53, and the reduction in working expenses, $682,- 951.22, make a total betterment, as compared with the previous year, of $1,424,116.75.

In 1908-9, the average per mile of road of revenue producing freight carried one mile was 660,857-05 tons, and passengers 96,519-39; in 1909-10, the figures were, freight 737.317-14 tons, and passengers 105,1.31-40. REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER xiii SESSIONAL PAPER No. 20 The number of tons, all freight, per mile of road carried one mile in 1908-9, was 676,705-26, and in 1909-10, 749,338 04. The train mileage in 1908-9 was: passenger, 2,706,214 miles; freiglit, 4,158,990 miles; in 1909-10, passenger, 2,578,885 miles; freight, 4,103,468 miles. The loaded car mileage in 1908-9, was 57,381,108 miles, and in 1909-10, 61,916,687 miles. The empty car mileage in 1908-9, was 16,356,184 miles, and in 1909-10, 12,843,789 miles. The caboose car mileage in 1908-9, was 3,776,649 miles, and in 1909-10, 3,802,680 miles. The steam motor car mileage (passenger) was 21,997 miles in 1908-9, and 16,563 miles in 1909-10. The total car mileage in 1908-9 was: passenger, 15,860,178 miles, and freight, 77,513,941 miles; in 1909-10, the figures were: passenger, 15,821,472, and freight 78,563,156. The total freight moved in 1908-9, was 3,751,724 tons; of this quantity, 3,573,972 tons were revenue-producing. In 1909-10, the total freight moved was 4.071,692 tons, of which 3,927,240 tons were revenue-producing. Repairs to passenger ears cost, per car, in 1908-9, $630.51, or per car mile, 0172 of a cent; and in 1909-10, $604.87, or per ear mile, 0171 of a cent. Repairs to freight cars cost, per car, in 1908-9, $47.86, or per car mile, -0078 of a cent; and in 1909-10, $38.16, or per car mile, -0062 of a cent. Repairs to locomotives cost, per locomotive, in 1908-9, $1,884.53, or per locomotive mile, -0828 of a cent, and in 1909-10, $1,504.72, or per locomotive mile, 0727 of a cent. The value of stores on hand at the close of the year was $1,243,181.69, comprising fuel, $416,911.37; roadway and bridge material, $314,377.42; and miscellaneous, $511,- 892.90. During the year the new shops at Moncton were occupied, and the locomotive repair work formerly executed at Halifax was transferred to the Moncton shops, a con- siderable reduction in the number of employees being thus effected. The double tracking between Moncton and Painsec Junction, a distance of 7-2 miles, was completed and put in operation. The general condition of the rolling stock is good, and the track of the railway, together with its bridges and other structures, has been maintained in good repair. It is believed that the whole road was never in better condition than at the present time. Full details as to the various works of improvement and repair carried out during the year, and as to the mechanical department and the rolling stock, will be found in the appendices hereto; also the several statements of the comptroller in rpgard of the exijenditures, &c. WINDSOR BRANCH. The road is 32 miles in length. It extends from Windsor Junction, on the Inter- colonial railway, to Windsor. The railway is operated by the Dominion Atlantic Railway Company, formerly the Windsor and Annapolis Railway Company. The company pay all charges in con- xiv DEPARTMENT OF RAILWAYS AND CANALS 1 GEORGE v., A. 1911 nection with the working of the traffic, two-thirds of the gross earnings being allowed them, the government taking the remaining one-third, and assuming all cost of main- tenance of the road and works. This arrangement is carried out under an agreement dated December 13, 1892, which extends for a further term of twenty-one years, arrangements similar to those made in 1871. All charges for superintendence and supervision of maintenance of work are borne by the government ; the duty of supervision is performed by the chief officers of the Intercolonial railway. The gross government receipt's for the twelve months of the fiscal year ended on March 31. 1910, amounted to $60,653.98. The cost of maintenance aggregated $23,- 549.90. leaving a profit of $37,104.08. The government share of the receipts showed an increase of $4,622.65 compared with the previous year. PEINCE EDWARD ISLAND RAILWAY. This is a narrow gauge railway, 3 feet 6 inches. The length of road operated was the same as in the previous year, 267-5 miles. C.\PITAL .4CC0UXT. There was an addition of $206,396.97 to the capital account expenditure during the past year ended March 31, 1910, making the total capital expenditure up to that date, $8,465,364.91. The added expenditure included $156,531.57 for increased accommoda- tion at Charlottetown, where a new twenty stall brick and concrete engine house has been built, and $49,829.25 for the braneli line from Harmony to Elmira, a distance of 9-9 miles, the construction of which was placed under contract during the year. RE\'E>;rE ACCOUNT. The gross earnings of the year amounted to $319,074.74, and the working expenses to $427,283.73, making an excess of expenditure over earnings of $108,208.99. Com- pared with the previous year there was an increase of $7,755.11 in the gross earnings, and an increase of $16,953.32 iii the working expenses. The expenditure on revenue account (working expenses) is classified, as on the Intercolonial railway, under five heads, with their several sub-heads. It comprised: • Maintenance of way and structures,' (25 sub-heads), $121,046.70, which included ties $10,232.32; rails, $11,008.03; roadway and track, $60,149.62; removal of snow, ice and sand, $11,930.76; and telegraph and telejihone lines, $6,916.88; ' maintenance of equip- ment ' (10 sub-heads), $79,258.26, which included repairs to locomotives, $27,005, to passenger cars, $14,485.79, and to freight cars, $11,471.06 ; ' traffic expenses ' (3 sub- heads), $968.97, of which $894.09 was for advertising; 'transportation expenses' (30 sub-heads), $211,004.76, which included, station employees, $45,038.14; road engine- men, $23,425.86; road engine house expenses, $10,837.48; fuel for road engines, $40,- 482-45; road trainmen, $31,955.39; train supplies and expenses, $7,071.15; and tele- graph and telephone operation, $7,013.08; ' general expenses ' (6 sub-heads), $15,005.04, which included the salaries and expenses of general officers, clerks and attendants, and relief department expenses, $6,142.67. REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER SESSIONAL PAPER No. 20 The number of passengers carried was 351,038, an increase compared with the previous year of 18,280, producing $140,076.83, an increase of $3,542.79. Of frfight, 105,741 tons were carried, a decrease of 349 tons, producing $153,373.11, an increase of $4,222.50. The earnings for mails and sundries amounted to $25, 624. ,'0, a decrease of $10.18 comiiared with the previous year. The freiglit carried was agricultural products, 20,767 tons, including grain, 12,918 tons; flour, 4,374 tons; hay, 2,912 tons; fruit and vegetables, 7,886 tons, and tobacco, 166 tons; animals, poultry and fish and their products, 12,064 tons, including live stock, 3,562 tons; dressed meats, 2,307 tons; poultry, game and fish, 3,030 tons, and hides and leather, 421 tons; products of mines, 10,795 tons, including 7,523 tons of bituminous coal; forest products (lumber) 13,358 tons; manufactures, 6,593 tons,, including iron and steel rails, 598 tons, pig and bloom iron, 439 tons; agricultural implements, 711 tons; cement, brick and lime, 1,334 tons, and sugar, 907 tons; mis- cellaneous commodities, 33,164 tons. The engine mileage aggregated 444,837 miles;, the train mileage, 323,522 miles, and the car mileage, 2,051,034 miles. The gross earnings per mile of railway amounted to $1,195.03 ; per engine mile, $71.73 cents; per train mile, 98-63 cents; and ver car mile to 15-56 cents . The working expenses per mile of railway amounted to $1,600.31, and per train mile to 132-07 cents. The value of stores on hand on March 31, 1910, was $59,306.18, including fuel, $12,155.77. The total rolling stock equipment of the railway on !March 31, 1910, was as follows : Locomotives, 31; passenger cars, first-class, 23, second-class, 12; combined second-class and baggage, 7; postal and smoking, 4; combined postal and baggage, 4; baggage, 6; pay car, 1; vans, 4; box freight, 313; refrigerator, 3; stock, 21; coal, 22; platform, 147 ; total, 567. In addition, there were 10 snow ploughs and 9 Hangers. In the Charlottetown shops, which the mechanical superintendent states are modern and up to date; the machinery has all been installed. One first-class passenger car and ten platform cars were rebiiilt, ten locomotives received heavy repairs, and con- siderable quantity of work was done; the rolling stock being maintained in a high state of efficiency. GOVERNMENT RAILWAYS PROVIDENT FUND. The Act of 1907, chap. 22, establishing a fund to be known as ' The Intercolonial and Prince Edward Island Railway Employees' Provident Fund ' came into effect on April 1, 1907. The main feature is that a contribution of U per cent of each month's salary and wages will be made by each employee to the fund, to which a like amount will bo added by the railway. Interest at 3 per cent per annum will be allowed on the employee's contribution. On retirement, after a certain length of service, the employee will receive for the rest of his life a monthly allowance for each year of his service, equal to li ijer cent of his average monthly salary or wages for the preceding eight years; the minimum allowance to be $20 a month, {ind the maximum 3 of his said average monthly pay. The fund is administered by a board of five persons, three of whom are oflicers of the railway; the remaining two being elected annually by the xvi DEPARTilEXT OF RAILWAYS AND CANALS 1 GEORGE v., A. 1911 contributing employees. By the amending Act of 1909, chap. 20, the government Railways Managing Board nominates one of its members as chairman of the Provident Board. The third annual report of the Board, which is printed in the appendices hereto, shows that at the beginning of the fiscal year April 1, 1909, there was a balance to the credit of the fund of $225,898.31, and that during the past fiscal year the contributions of the railway employees amounted to $69,949.70; adding to this a like contribution from the government railways and the sum of $483.06 for refunds, &c., together with interest on monthly balances, $6,314.32, the total of the fund for the year aggregated, $372,595.09. The total expenditure during the year was $117,010.01, of which $103,- 628.20 was paid out in retiring allowances, leaving at the credit of the fund on March 31, 1910, the sum of $255,585.08. It should again be observed that the expenditure, in the early years of the operation of the scheme, would naturally be less than the receipts; but this condition cannot be expected to continue indefinitely. However, nieantime, a considerable increase of the fund at credit, year by year, will serve as a source from which to meet the larger expenditures to be looked for in the future. In the course of the year, 168 employees were retired and pensioned; and seventeen died. During the three years that the system has been in operation the total contributions by employees amount to $227,963.85, and the total contributions by the railways to $227,903.85. The number of employees pensioned is 398, and forty-five have died, leaving 353 in enjoyment of their allowances at the close of the fiscal year 1910. The total paid for retiring allowances is $191,608.87. SURVEYS FOR A RAILWAY TO HUDSON BAY. These surveys have been conducted from Le Pas Mission, a point on the River Saskatchewan, up to which point there is at present in operation a railway, part of the Canadian Northern railway system. In last year's report there was printed a progress report made by Mr. John Arm- strong, the chief engineer of the survey, dated February 15, 1909. This report, which was based on partial surveys, dealt with the two feasible routes discovered, one at Fort Churchill, on the River Churchill, and the other to Port Nelson, on the River Nelson. Under date September 8, 1909, Mr. Armstrong has submitted a general report on the preliminary surveys, which now include preliminary surveys of the harbours at the mouth of the Nelson and Churchill rivers. His report is furnished with maps showing the two routes, with profiles, and charts with the soundings taken at Port Nelson. His report was laid before parliament last session and will be found printed in the appen- dices hereto. From this report, the following information is summarized: — The distance from Le Pas to Fort Churchill would be approximately 477 miles; its cost with 60-pound rails, $10,586,520, or with 80-pound rails, $11,351,520; adding to which the sum of $7,757,152 for buildings, shops, grain elevators, &c., and for harbour works, $6,675,000. the total is set down at $19,108,672. REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER xvii SESSIONAL PAPER No. 20 The distance from Le Pas to Port Nelson would be approximately 410 miles ; its cost with 60-pound rails, $8,333,800, or with 80-pound rails, $8,981,800; adding to ~which, for buildings, shops, grain elevators, &c., the sum of $7,444,540, and for harbour works, $5,065,000, the total cost is set down at $16,426,340. In both cases, the sum of $4,000,000 is given as representing the cost of two 4,000,- 000 bushel fireproof elevators to be erected at either terminal. The grades obtained are, ou the Churchill route, of 1 per cent for the north bound and 9io for the south bound traffic. On the Nelson route the grade is Yio both ways. On the Churchill route the estimate provides for steel bridge structures over the River Saskatchewan and the Deer river, timber to be used for all other waterways. On the Nelson route the bridge over the Eiver Saskatchewan and the two crossings of the Nelson river are proposed to be of steel and concrete; all others to be of wood. For about the first 150 miles from Le Pas the route is common to both lines of survey, and, of this, the first 120 miles runs through a comparatively level country, giving easy grades and cheap construction. This character is maintained generally on the whole of the Nelson route, the greater portion of the grading being in clay loam, a certain percentage of sand gravel and swamps. The profile shows a practically straight line of descent to the bay, varied only by stretches of level grade. The Churchill route is at a higher elevation, and passes through a granite country. It involves a number of rising and falling grades between the 250th mile and the bay, and requires much curvature to secure the grade adopted, at reasonable cost. The question of harbour facilities at the two points is one that constitutes a very important factor in the determination of the route to be adopted, and although a large amount of information has been obtained, as is indicated by the charts with their marked soundings, and Mr. Armstrong's statements as to tides, currents, ice conditions, anchorage, sites for railway terminals, &c., it is considered that further details should be gathered. By the close of the fiscal year, March 31, 1910, location plans and profiles of the proposed line for a distance of about seventy-five miles from Le Pas were prepared, and further location work was in progress. BOAED OF RAILWAY COMMISSIONERS FOR CANADA. By the Act 3 Edward VII., chap. 58 (1903), amending and consolidating the law respecting railways, the Railway Committee of the Privy Council was abolished, and in lieu thereof a Board of Commissioners, under the above title, was created, to con- sist of three members (increased to six by the Act of 1908, chap. 62), to be appointed by the Governor in Council; this Act was brought into force on February 1, 1904, by proclamation, on the authority of an order in council, dated January 18, 1904, which also appointed certain persons as commissioners. By the Act of 1908, chap. 61, the jurisdiction of the board was extended to cover the operation of telegraph and tele- phone lines, and by the Act of 1908, chap. 62, certain amendments were made to its constitution and otherwise. The office of the board is at Ottawa, though it is author- ized to hold sessions in any part of Canada. Its decisions and orders are final, subject 20— B xviii DEPARTMENT OF RAILWAYS AXD CAXALS 1 GEORGE v., A. 1911 to appeal to the Supreme Court upon questions of jurisdiction or law, and also to action thereon by the Governor in Council, in his discretion. It is required to make, annually, a report of its proceedings, which report is laid before parliament. The report for the year ended March 31, 1910, has been received, and will be laid before parliament in due course. NATIONAL TRANSCONTINENTAL RAILWAY. Under an agreement, dated July 29, 1903, ratified by the Dominion Act of that year, chap. 71, and under a modifying agreement dated February 18, 1904, ratified by the Act of that year, chap. 24, the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway Company, a com- pany incorporated by the Act of 1903, chap. 122, have undertaken certain obligations in respect of a line of railway, wholly upon Canadian territory, between the city of Moneton, in the province of New Brunswick, and the navigable waters of the Pacific ocean, at or near Port Simpson or some other port in British Columbia, as may be agreed upon. The railway is composed of two divisions, namely, the eastern division, between Moncton and Quebec, thence westerly through the northern part of the pro- vinces of Quebec and Ontario, and in the province of jManitoba to the city of Winni- peg, and the western division, between Winnipeg and the Pacific ocean. The eastern division is being constructed by the government under four commissioners appointed by the Governor in Council, and on completion is to be leased to and maintained and operated by the company, who undertake to construct at their own cost and to main- tain and operate the western division. The lease of the eastern division is to be for a period of fifty years, at a rental of three per cent per annum upon the cost of its con- struction; the first seven years of the term to be free of rent; both divisions are to be equipped by the company, the first equipment to be of a value not less than $20,000,000. By way of assistance to the company in the construction of the western division, it is provided that the government shall guarantee payment of the principal and interest of an issue of bonds to be made by the company for an amount sufiicient to produce a sum equal to 75 per cent of the cost of its construction, such amount not to exceed $13,000 per mile in respect of the prairie section from Winnipeg to the eastern limit of the Rocky Mountains (such limit to be established by the chief engineer of the company and the chief engineer of the government, as the result of actual surveys to be made). The several government expenditures to be made under these Acts and agreements are to be so made from appropriations by parliament for the purpose, and on the recommendation of the Minister of Railways and Canals, to whom accounts of all receipts, expenditures and liabilities are to bs furnished monthly. The board are re- quired to furnish annually a report to the Governor in Council, through the Minister of Railways and Canals, showing the receipts and expenditures of the year, and other information as to the railway, which report is to be submitted to parliament. The headquarters of the Board are in the city of Ottawa. The report of the Board for the fiscal period of twelve months ended March 31, 1910, lias been prepared, and will be laid before parliament in due course. The following summary shows the position at the close of the year, March 31, 1910. REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER six SESSIONAL PAPER No. 20 The entire line from Moncton to Winnipeg is under contract, the distance being 1804-84 miles. Of this distance, 1,106 miles are graded. The track is laid for a distance of 698-Y miles of main line, with 114-5 miles of sidings; total 813-2 miles. The work is com- prised in twenty-one contracts, and the total percentage done is 60-1 per cent of the whole. The work is divided into six districts. On the first westward from Moncton. District ' A,' 256.51 miles; 246 miles are graded, and the main track is laid for 155-91 miles. The expenditure for construction during- the year was $4,996,543.26. 81-07 per cent of the work has been done. District 'B,' 501-22 miles; 358-25 miles are graded, and the main track is laid for 216-4 miles. This district extends east and west of the Quebec bridge. The expen- diture during the year on construction was $5,313,240.10, and on transport, $14,169.14. 64-87 per cent of the work has been done. District ' Cf 192-91 miles; 13 miles have been graded. The expenditure during the year on construction was $360,264.18; on transport, $26,691.28, and on location, $6,948.04. 5-31 per cent of the work has been done. District ' D,' 216-11 miles; 127-5 miles have been graded, and 57-9 miles of main track laid. The expenditure during the year on construction was $3,479,414.94, and on transport, $27,286.12. 36-89 per cent of the work has been done. District ' E,' 255-19 miles; 41-5 miles have been graded. The expenditure on con- struction during the year was $857,325.09, and on transport, $10,249.70; 20-58 per cent of the work has been done. District ' ¥,' 376-80 miles; brings the road into the city of Winnipeg, crossing the Eed river at St. Boniface. It embraces the construction of the yards and locomotive and other shops at a point about six miles east of Winnipeg. The track connecting the Lake Superior branch with the Dundee branch of the Canadian Northern railway at St. Boniface, was laid in October, 1909, and 46-7 per cent of the work of construct- ing the station buildings, &c., over this distance is completed. The substructure of a double track bridge over the Red river at Winnipeg is under contract, and six of the piers have been completed. The foundations of all the terminal shop buildings are completed, and about 2,500 tons of the general steel work have been erected. The expenditure during the year on construction was $4,648,295.23, and on transport, $11,- 982.58; 82-21 per cent of the work has been done. The expenditure for the fiscal year up to March 31, 1910, on the entire eastern division amounted to $19,968,126.86, of which $19,655,682.80 was on construction. The total expenditure up to that date was $71,918,843.88. The yearly expenditures have been as follows : — 1904- 5 1905- 6 $ 778,363 63 1,831,263 50 5,537,867 50 18,910,449 41 24,892,772 98 19,968,126 86 1906-7 (nine months) 1907- 8. 1908- 9. 1909- 10 xz DEPAKTMENT OF RAILWAYS AVD CAXALS 1 GEORGE v., A. 1911 As the result of disputes between the government engineers and those of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway Company respecting classification of material on districts ' B ' and ' F,' and as to returns for rock moved outside the regular section in rockcuts, (commonly known as ' overbreak '), these matters have been referred for settlement to a board of three arbitrators, as provided for in the company's agreement with the government. Owing to snow on the ground, it was not found possible to deal with the question of classification before the close of the fiscal year. A number of adjustments of ' overbreak ' were, however, made, and where they involved deductions these have been made in the contractors' progress estimates. In some cases remeasurements will be necessary before they can be dealt with. On the western division of the railway, in course of construction by the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway Company, the position at the close of the fiscal year, March 31, 1910, is shown by the report made by the government chief engineer of that division, Mr. Collingwood Schreiber, C.M.G., to be as follows: — The total length of this division is about 1,751 miles, divided into two sections, viz. : the ' Prairie Section ' which extends from the west bank of the Assiniboine river, in the city of Winnipeg, to the east bank of Wolf creek, a distance of 915 miles, and the ' Mountain Section ' extending from the east bank of Wolf creek to the western end of the city of Prince Rupert, the Pacific coast terminus, a distance of about 836 miles. ' PRAIRIE SECTION.' The entire section is graded, and the structures are built. The main line track is laid, and sidings have been constructed at 138 stations, aggregating 140J miles in length. 474 miles of main line are fully ballasted; 350 miles have a first lift of bal- last of about five inches in depth, and there remain thirty-five miles of skeleton track between Entwistle and Wolf creek. Seven hundred and thirty-two miles of double fence have been erected. A telegraph line has been built over the entire '' Prairie Section ' of 915 miles, of which 793 miles is a four wire line, and 122 miles a two wire line. Eleven interlocking plants have been established at rail level crossing of other rail- ways. Water services have been introduced at forty-nine stations. Six round houses have been built, viz. : — At Rivers, 18 stalls ; Melville, 12 stalls ; Watrous, 12 stalls; Biggar, 12 stalls; Wainwright, 12 stalls; Edmonton, 18 stalls; and two small engine houses have also been erected — one of two stalls at Portage la Prairie and one of two stalls at South Saskatoon. Machine shops have been erected at Rivers, Melville, and Edmonton, three divi- sional stations. Five divisional station houses; 26 way station houses; 54 section houses; 66 tool houses ; 79 bunk houses ; 5 coaling plants ; 80 permanent and 22 temporary loading plat- forms; and 18 stock yards; 115 grain elevators have been erected at stations. The portion of the road between Winnipeg and Edmonton — 795 miles — has been regularly operated for public traffic since September 13, 1909, under authority of the Board of the Railway Commissioners. On the 120 miles west of Edmonton, though there is no regular operation, there has been attached to the construction trains since REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER xxi SESSIONAL PAPER No. 20 February 1, 1910, a combination passenger and freight car, for the convenience of those concerned. 'mountain section.' Location plans and profiles have been approved by the government and Board of Railway Commissioners from Wolf creek westward for a distance of 289 miles, and from Prince Rupert easterly for 409 miles, leaving a gap of 138 miles. Of the 289 miles from Wolf creek westerly, only 179 miles have, as yet, been put under contract. As the contracts were only awarded late last autumn, very little work has been done beyond the first mile west of Wolf creek. The work on this mile is very heavy, there being two large steel bridges to be erected, and a cutting of over 130,000 cubic yards to be taken out. The first structure will be 622 feet in length and 130 feet high, crossing Wolf creek The second structure is to span the MacLeod river; it will be 1,052 feet long, and 125 feet high. The concrete piers, pedestals and abutments of these two bridges are completed in readiness to receive the superstructure. The erection of the superstructures of these two bridges will be carried on simul- taneously, so as to have them completed at the earliest possible date, in order that the tracklaying may be proceeded with during the ensuing summer season. During the winter season, over 3,600 car loads of plant and supplies reached Wolf creek and were at once forwarded and distributed by teams along the line of work. Of the 409 miles from Prince Rupert easterly, 240 miles are under contract. Of the first 100 miles out of Prince Rupert easterly the grading and culvert struc- tures are far advanced towards completion. About seven miles of track have been laid easterly from Prince Rupert, and suflS- cient rails and fastenings have been delivered to cover 200 miles, together with enough ties for 100 miles. A wharf has been built at Prince Rupert ; also a warehouse. On the 140 miles east of the first 100 miles, very little work has been done pend- ing the opening of navigation on the Skeena river. QUEBEC BRIDGE RECONSTRUCTION. By the Act of 1908, chapter 59, the Governor in Council was authorized to take over the whole undertaking, assets, property and franchises of the Quebec Bridge and Railway Company. By an order in council of August 17, 1908, such authority was given, and the property was assumed on December 1, 1908. The transfer was made by a deed of assignment and transfer, dated October 18, 1909. The chairman of the special Board of Engineers, constituted by Order in Council vi August 17, 1908, for the work of reconstruction, has reported on the progress made during the fiscal year, ended March 31, 1910; his report will be found printed in the appendices hereto. Results of the borings made to determine the nature of the material in the vicinity of the present piers, and the location of bed rock have established the feasibility of sinking a new pier down to bedrock outside of the present pier on the. north side xxii DEPARTMEKT OF liAILWATS AXD CANALS 1 GEORGE v., A. 191 1 of the river, and that on the south side the foundations of the present pier are suffi- cient to support the enlarged work. The contract for the construction of the piers and abutments of the new bridge was awarded in December, 190D, and preparatory work on the north side has been steadily carried on since. In the same month, the contract for the removal of the debris was awarded, and by the close of the year about 21 per cent of the total work was executed. Contracts have been made for the important wc rk of carrying out compression and tension tests, and the question of the use of nickel steel rivets for joints instead of carbon steel was also submitted to careful test, but without developing any material advantage tc be gained by the use of nickel steel. By the close of the year the plans and specifications of the Board for a bridge ou a cantilever design had made such progress as to ensure their being in readiness for the early calling for tenders. Intending tenderers, however, have been notified that, in addition, they will be allowed to submit plans prepared by themselves. The expenditure during the year, for the preparation of plans, salaries, &c.. amounted to $111,788.02, adding to whicTi the sum of $355,279.07, the amount paid for acquiring the stock of the Quebec Bridge and Eailway Company, and the further sum of $31,765.44, the expenses of the commission of inquiry into the causes of the collapse of the old structure, the total expenditure since the date of the collapse is $498,832.53. There is, however, a credit of $100,000, the amount paid to the government by the Phoenix Bridge Company, the original contractors for the superstructure, under an agreement, dated March 12, 1910, made with them, under authority of an order in council of February 22, 1910, in settlement of the claims of the government for dam- ages and the counter claims of the company in this connection; the company releases to the government all its interest in the steel and manufactured materials used or intended to be used then at the bridge site and storage yards there and at Quebec, and the government releases to the company all its interest in the steel and manufactured materials then at the company's works at Phoenixville, Pa., U.S.A., together with the government lien on the company's working plant, equipment, &c., then at the site of the bridge and said storage yards. By this agreement and settlement the company surrenders all rights it previously possessed under contract for the construction of the bridge. SUBSIDIZED EAILWAYS. Information as to subsidized railways is given in the statements of the accountant and the law clerk of the department, respectively, which will be found in the appen- dices hereto. The accountant's statement shows all payments made, year by year, since the beginning of the system of railway subsidies; the law clerk's statement shows the several subsidy agreements entered into during the past year, with certain details of the specification in each ease. REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER xxiii SESSIONAL PAPER No. 20 CANALS. The total expenditure on the Domiuion canals for the twelve months ended March 31, 1910, was $3,259,097.18, comprising, for works of construction, $1,650,706.64, charged to capital; $489,256.68 for maintenance, charged to income; $604,899.26 for staff and $514,234.60 for repairs; the last two items being charged to revenue. The balance of rentals due on April 1, 1909, was $148,795.35. The rentals accrued during the year amounted to $176,126.70, making a total of $324,922.05. Of this amount, there was collected during the year a total of $168,893.63. The balance remain- ing due on March 31, 1910, after deducting abatements, was $148,266.82. It should be observed that, as a general rule, rentals are payable in advance, this fact account- ing, to a considerable extent, for the large amount of rentals due at the end of each .year. The total net revenue collected amounted to $194,685.84, the balance being made up of wharfage dues, fines, &c. Of this amount, refunds were made to the extent of $1,301.56, leaving the net revenue $193,384.28. • No tolls are charged on any of the Dominion canals. Summaries of these expenditures and receipts will be found in the statements fur- nished by the accountant of the department, printed in the appendices. Part I, of the present report. The above figures relate to the fiscal year 1909-10, but very voluminous statistics relating to canal traffic, and various commercial statistics for the season of navigation of the year 1909 will be found in the ' Canal Statistics,' which are issued as a separate report. The principal facts of these statistics, summarized, are as follows : — LThe total trafiic through the several canals of the Dominion for the season of 1909 amounted to 33,720,748 tons, an increase of 16,217,928 tons compared with the previous ^ear. 272,222 passengers were carried, a decrease of 8,608. The following features of the principal canal traffic during the season of 1909, will be of interest : — • On the Welland canal, 2,025,951 tons of freight were moved, an increase of 322,498 tons. Of the total, 921,866 tons were agricultural products and 186,614 tons produce of the forest; of coal, 377,681 tons were carried; 1,976,040 tons were through freight, of which 1,325,023 tons passed eastward. Of the through freight, Canadian vessels carried 1,247,694 tons, an increase of 326,373 tons, and United States vessels 728,346 tons, a decrease of 45,762. The total through freight passed eastward and westward through this canal to United States ports was 445,419 tons, a decrease of 3,235 tons compared with the year 1908. The quantity of grain passed down the Welland and St. Lawrence canals to Mont- real, was 652,742 tons, a decrease of 103,399 tons as compared with the previous year; no transhipments have been made at Ogdensburg since 1903. On the St. Lawrence canals, 2,410,629 tons of freight were moved, an increase of 123,652 tons, of which 1.564,584 tons were ea^tbound freight, and 846,045 tons west- bound freight; 773,730 tons were agricultural products; 639,767 tons coal; and 509,157 tons forest products. xsiv DEPARTMENT OF SAILWATH AND CANALS 1 GEORGE v., A. 1911 On the Ottawa river canals, the total quantity of freight moved was 336,939 tons, an increase of 78,412 tons, of which 232,025 tons were produce of the forest. On the Chambly canal, 752,117 tons weie moved, an increase of 248,841 ton-, of which 599,330 tons were produce of the forest and 98,533 tons of coal. . On the Eideau canal, 91,774 tons were carried, an increase of 2,134 tons; 26,727 tons being produce of the forest, and 15,633 tons of coal. On the St. Peter's canal, 79,850 tons were carried, an increase of 7,835 tons ; 41,301 tons were coal. On the Murray canal, 102,291 tons passed, an increase of 76,390 tons. On the Trent canal, 59,952 tons were moved, of which 55,086 tons were product of the forest. On the Sault Ste. Marie canal the total movement of freight was 27,861,245 tons, being an increase of 15,102,029 tons, carried in 6,331 passages of vessels, the number of lockages being 5,046. Of wheat, 74,401,000 bushels and of other grain, 29,503,240 bushels were carried; 2,522,700 barrels of flour; 21,156,915 tons of iron ore; 2,797,699 tons of coal; and 34,309,300 feet, board measure, of lumber.* By means of the enlarged Canadian canal system and the intermediate waterways, a minimum depth of fourteen feet of water from Lake Superior to the head of the ocean navigation at Montreal is afforded; the smallest locks being 270 feet in length and 45 feet in width, intended, for the purpose of ordinary traffic, to accommodate vessels 255 feet long and 44 feet beam.+ The foot note below relating to the Erie canal will be found of interest.** • The following summary of the total traffic of the American and Canadian canals at Sault Ste. Marie for the season of 1909 is taken from the statistical report prepared under the direction of Lieut.-Col. C. McD. Townsend, Corps of Engineers, U.S. Army: — Total freight carried, tons, 57,895,149; total tons, net register, 46,751,717; total mile-tons, 46,S12,f 29.345 ; total valuation placed on freight carried, $626,104,173; total amount paid for freight tran>portation, $36,291,948; total number of registered vessels using the canals, 870; total number of passages by unregistered crafts carrying freight, 242; total valuation placed on registered vessels, $126,899,000; total number of passengers transported, 59,948; average dis- tance freight was carried, 809 miles; average cost per ton for freight transportation 63 cents; average cost per mile per ton, 0-78 mills; average value per ton of freight carried, $10.81. The total freight traffic of 57,895,149 net tons for the season of 1909, when compared with the season of 1S08, shows an increase of 40 per cent, or 16,504,592 tons, and the net registered tonnage of 46,751,717 tons shows an increase of 50 per cent ,or 15,659,987 tons. The traffic through the American canal was 52 per cent of the total freight, 62 per cent of the net registered tonnage, and 46 per cent of the total number of passengers carried, the amounts being 30.132,374 tons of freight, 28,939,463 tons register, and 27,736 passengers. Com- pared with the season of 1908 there was an increase of 1,475,077 tons of freight, or 5 per cent; 7,451,964 tons register, or 35 per cent; and 4,657 passengers, or 20 per cent. The traffic through the Canadian canal was 48 per cent of the total freight, 38 per cent of the total registered tonnage, and 54 per cent of the passengers carried, the amounts being 27,762,775 tons of freight, 17,812,254 tons register, and 32,212 passengers. Compared with the season of 1908, there was an increase of 15,029,515 tons of freight, or 118 per cent; 8,208,023 tons register, or 85 per cent; and 2,004 passengers, or 7 per cent. It has to be observed that the traffic figures do not, in all cases, agree with those of the Canadian canal returns, a fact which is probably due to certain diflerences existing between the standards and classifications of the two countries. t In exceptional cases this length can, with certain manceuveriug, be somewhat increased, being governed, of course, by the form of the vessel. As a matter of fact, there are vessels now using the canals whose length, over all, is 265 feet, and width of beam 37 feet. ••The Erie canal, between Bufialo and Albany, is 350J miles long; comprises 72 locks, 110 X 18 feet, with a depth of 7 feet of water, accommodating, as a maximum, vessels of 240 tons burden. The original canal was completed in 183G, and the enlargement to the above dimensions in 1862. The total cost of construction was $51,609,200. There is now under construction an enlarged canal, authority for which was given in 1903. The locks were to be 328 feet long by 28 feet wide in the clear, with 11 feet of water on the mitre sills. The estimated cost was $100,562,993. It was intended to accommodate barges of 1,000 tons burden. In 1905 the width of the locks was increased to 45 feet, and construction is proceeding on this basis. When completed, it will permit the passage of lake boats carrying 2,600 tons. HEHORT OF TIIK DKI'I TY MIXI^TER XXV SESSIONAL PAPER No. 20 The thiough route between Montreal and Fort William and Fort Arthur, on the west shore of Lake Superior, comprises 73 miles of canal, with 48 locks, and 1,167 miles of river and lake water, or a total of 1,230 miles. From Montreal to Duluth, at the southwest of Lake Superior, the total distance is 1,354 miles, and to Chicago^ 1,286 miles. A summary of this route will be found in Part VIII., with details of the several work.s. At Port Arthur and at Fort William (about six miles apart), the Canadian Pacific railway gives communication westward and eastward, and the Canadian Northern railway westward and with the south at Fort William. A line of railway has been built from Fort William by the Grand Trunk Pacific railway to give communication with the Transcontinental railway, and over that road to Win- nipeg. The approaches to the canals and the channels through the intermediate river reaches are well defined, and are lighted Avith gas buoys under the control of the Department of Marine and Fisheries, admitting of safe navigation, in the hands of competent pilots, both by day and night. In the cases of the Sault Ste. Marie, the Welland, the Cornwall, the Soulanges and the Lachine, they are well lighted through- out by electricity. The Sault Ste. Marie, the Welland, tlie Cornwall, the Soulaug&s and the Lachine canals are electrically operated. The Farran's Point canal is lighted with acetylene gas. On the Lachine canal, the principal features of work have been the facing with concrete of the slope walls in the reach above the Cote St. Paul locks, and the widening of the canal at this point, and the provision of wharf accommodation at St. Henri and Cote St. Paul, of which a large proportion was completed during the year. On the Soulanges canal similar work of concrete protection has been carried on. The action of the waters of Lake St. Francis on the clay dykes at Ste. Barbe and Hungry bay is being met by the construction of boulder protection, which is now com- pleted at Hungry bay, at which point the macadamizing of the roadway on the top of the dyke has been completed for a considerable distance. The high water in the River Ottawa prevented the completion of the repairs to the Carillon dam during the year, but all preparations had been made for resumption of work in the following season. On the Chambly canal, the electric power house was completed, but the electric machinery has not yet been installed. The improvements in the harbour of St. Johns, placed under contract in 1908, com- prise the removal of an old wharf, an extension of the present canal wharf up to the railway bridge, the building of a new wharf, and a breakwater, &c. They were com- pleted during the year so far as regards the works above the bridge. On the Trent canal, the extent completed remains the same as in the previous year, namely, 160 miles, extending from Lake Simcoe to Healeys Falls, a point sixteen miles below the village of Hastings ; the canal was operated for this distance. The water was satisfactorily maintained at a uniform height throughout the year. A considerable amount of work in the way of repair and improvement was executed, notably in the dredging of portions of the River Otonabee, the raising of private wharfs in Stony lake to meet the raise in water level necessitated by the require- ments of navigation, various improvements at Fenelon Falls, and in the repair of the 20— c xxvi DEPARTMEST OF Ix'.ULWATS AND CANALS 1 GEORGE v., A. 1911 several dams controlling the various reservoir systems acquired from the Ontario gov- ernment. In two important eases, new concrete dams were built. The construction of the Ontario-Eice Lake division of the canal is dealt with in an interesting and comprehensive report of the superintending engineer, which will be found in the appendices hereto. The division is 56} miles in length, extending- from Trenton, on Lake Ontario, to Rice lake, of which five out of the seven sections into which it has been divided are under contract. It follows the Eiver Trent, and will comprise nine and a half miles of canal, thirteen miles of subaqueous channel, and thirty-four miles of deep river; the total rise between low water level on Lake Ontario and normal navigation level at Eice lake is 369 feet, to be overcome by eighteen locks. The river level will be controlled by fourteen concrete dams; sixteen bridges will be required, six of which are for the accommodation of railways ; they will all be swing or bascule spans except one. The locks will be of concrete, with 8 feet 4 inches of water on the sills; they will be 175 feet long between the hollow quoins, and 33 feet in width, accommodating barges of 1,000 tons, about 150 feet long and of 30 feet beam, drawing 8 feet of water. The work involved will require the removal of about 1,500,000 cubic yards of earth, 1,250,000 cubic yards of rock, loose and solid, and the building of about 400,000 cubic yards of concrete. The approximate cost is set down at $6,750,000; of this, up to March 31, 1910, there had been expended the sum of $1,285,092. Five of the locks and six of the dams have been built. Details of the work done will be found in the above mentioned report of the superintending engineer. In additi in to the work on this division, a contract for the construction of a new concrete dam at Burleigh Falls has been entered into to replace the present dilapidated wooden structure. This is part of a scheme to raise the level of Lovesick lake to the level of Deer bay, a difference of about four feet, dispensing with the present lift lock at Lovesick, and the flight lock at Burleigh Falls, and replacing them by a single lock at the latter place. On the Lindsay section, the new lock and dam at Lindsay, placed under contract in January, 1909, are finished, and the dam sluices have been of service in dealing with the spring freshets, which have caused trouble in the past in the Scugog river above Lindsay. On the Eosedale section, a contract was entered into in February, 1908, for the work of building a new canal between Lakes Cameron and Balsam, 1-8 mile in length, together with a new lock and dam to take the place of the old wooden structures; thus shortening by 1-2 mile, the distance between the two lakes. The lock is completed and the excavation for the canal. The Holland Eiver division extends from Cook's bay. Lake Simcoe, to Holland Landing, 8i miles, all on the Lake Simcoe level, and from Holland Landing to New- market, 4J miles, on which distance there is a rise of 43 feet, to overcome which three locks will be required, together with three dams ; the work on this section (No. 2) was placed under contract in February, 1908, and about 37 per cent has been executed up to March 31, 1910. Hydrographic surveys of the various lakes embraced in the Trent navigation have been carried on, with the object of making a complete set of charts of these waters. REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER xxvii SESSIONAL PAPER No. 20 No action has, so far, been taken with regard to the adoption of a route for the northern section of the canal, from Lake Simcoe to Georgian Bay, beyond the making of surveys of alternative routes. On the Galops canal, the work of removing certain shoals in the Eiver St. Law- rence west of the upper entrance to the canal was completed, the result being to afford a clear channel, 17 feet deep, between the upper entrance and the lower end of what is known as the ' north channel.' All the enlargement works undertaken in connection with the Outario-St. Lawrence canals district have now been completed. At the same time, it should be noted that the intermediate river stretches present some serious difficulties, vessels being compelled to cross the river from side to side in order to follow the devious marked channel; a drawback to navigation which could be remedied by straightening the channel at certain points, removing shoals and im- proving the entrances to the Farran Point and Eapide Plat canals. Ozi the Cornwall canal, preliminary steps were taken for the improvement of the upper entrance of the canal, where the approach to the lock is extremely difficult, and plans and specifications have been prepared for an approach wall and certain dredging, &c. The permanent work of repair of the serious break in the south canal bank, which occurred in June, 1908, has been completed, under contract, during the year, and by carrying it on, day and night, the canal was opened for navigation on May 3, 1909. The whole of the works were completed in the following October. It may be observed that, notwithstanding the grave nature of the break, which carried away about 200 feet of the bank, the actual delay to navigation was only seventeen days, a temporary dam and diversion having been made to obtain this result. In view of evidence of weakness in the bank immediately west of the washout, it was decided to extend the new concrete wall for a further distance, and the work has been placed under contract. On the Rideau canal, the freshets of 1909, the highest on record, caused a very serious washout at Black Rapids, the water cutting into the sand bank of the river at the end of the new dam, making a breach of about 200 feet in length. The work of repair, exceptionally difficult under the circumstances, entailed a delay of six weeks in opening the canal to navigation. A considerable amount of work of repair and improvement at various x>oints on this extensive water course was carried out during the year. On the Welland canal, the clearing up of the harbour at Port Colborne is in iDro- gress, and a channel to the elevator 22 feet deep when there is a depth of 14 feet on the lock sills, is now available. A spur line of railway has been built from the Grand - Trunk railway to the elevator. In connection with the surveys that have been con- ducted in order to obtain information in the event of decision to build a new Welland canal, borings have been made to determine the nature of the ground at various points. On the Sault Ste. Marie canal, the work of improving the channel at the upper entrance of the canal by deepening it to 21 feet 5 inches at low water stage and pro- viding a width of 500 feet, was completed; the middle section, through the Vidal Shoals, about two miles above the lock, being finished during the year. The channel- way on the north side of the canal above the north pier is under contract.* * It may be noted that a new lock is now in course of construction by the United Status government, which is to be 1,350 feet long by 80 feet wide, and lo have a depth of 25 feet on the sills at low water stage. xxviii DEPARTMEXT OF RAILWAYS AND CANALS 1 GEORGE v., A. 1911 On June 9, 1909, an accident of a most serious character occurred, the details of which are fully given in the report of the superintending engineer herewith. A steamer was in the lock, and another just entering the upper end when a third steamer entered the lower approach, and its engines failing to reverse at the proper time, the vessel was carried against one of the lower lock gates, forcing it back. The resultant rush of water was most disastrous, both to the vessels and the lock works, all four of the gates being broken, and other damage done. The immense movable dam above the lock was brought into action and proved of service, though some points of weakness developed in it. !N^avigation was not resumed until the 21st. On two occasions during the season, the Poe lock, on the American side of the river, was out of commission for x)eriods of three and eight days, respectively. As indicating the extent of traffic at this point, and the importance of having sufficient accommodation to deal with it in the event of accident, it may be observed that on the first of these occasions, the Canadian canal was worked continuously for 101 hours, passing 1S4 vessels of an aggregate of 553,287 tons register, and on the second for 264 continuous hours, passing 460 vessels of a total of 1,372,145 tons register. There were 112 vessels at one time waiting for passage; a formidable blockade which entailed a loss in their earnings estimated at $250,000. EAILWAT STATISTICS.
