Ontario’s Rights on Hudson’s Bay Territory Extended
Ontario gained a five mile wide strip from the Manitoba boundary to the Nelson river and a ten mile waterfront frontage at the Nelson mouth to build a rail link to Port Nelson. Tyrrell’s expedition surveyed the area in 1912, noting hydrology, potential minerals, and vast glacial clays with promising agricultural possibilities despite a harsh climate.

A railway petition will be presented to the provincial minister of railways endorsing G. B. Johnston's call for railway construction next spring in the Carrot River valley. Settlers face unendurable hardships and economic losses, with the valley a major stock raising and farming district near Hudson Bay. The Moon urges drastic government action to compel the railway company to serve this vast, fertile region.
