OMINECA MINER,

THE

WHAT PANAMA CANAL
MEANS TO SHIPPING

Rough Seas Avoided and a
Distance of 6,200 Miles
Saved Between Vancouver
and Europe.

Forecasts of the changes like-
ly to be effected in existing
steamship routes by the opening
of the Panama canal make inter-
esting reading now that the
great waterway is rapidly near-
ing completion. Steamers en
route from European ports to
Vancouver will take the Panama
route, thus saving 6,200 sea
miles, as compared with the
route via the Straits of Magellan.
Steamships from Montreal to
Sydney will also use the canal,
thus saving a distance of some
2,738 miles. .

It is uncertain whether freigh-
ters from Europe to Valparaiso
will take the canal route, which
would save only 2,100 miles, but
passenger steamers will doubt-
less prefer the shorter route, and
will serve the east coast of South
America by means of auxilliary
ships sailing from West Indian
ports,

Between Europe and Japan
the route via the Suez canal will
still be preferred, as at present,
since the Panama route would be
1000 miles longer, but between
New York and Shanghai the
Panama route will be chosen,
saving 1400 miles.

Between Europe and Australia
the present route is only 800
miles longer than will ‘be that
via Panama, possibly not enough
to cause the abandonment of the
former.

Aside from the consideration
of distance, the journey via
Panama obviates the usually
rough and stormy rounding of

‘|Cape Horn, and this fact will

considerably affect the passenger
routes, Steps are already being
taken to prepare for redistribu-
tion of the coal trade that will
result from the change of youte
above referred to.

British firms are reported to
be negotiating for coal stations
at Nukulofa, the capital of the
Friendly Islands and also of Pit-
cairn and Fanning Islands,

Uniting the Country

Up to the present time Eastern
and Western, Canada have been
tied together in a business way
by a single line of rails along the
route of the Canadian. Pacific,
This line is to be duplicated 1m-
mediately, and in the course of
two years at the most the Nation-
al Transcontinental Railway and
the Canadian ‘Northern. will have
their steel laid across that great
region north of the Greet Lakes,
which seemed like a wedge sep-
arating the older from the newer
part of the Dominion. When we
have four lines of rails the union
will be closer, and the settlement
of Northern Ontario, which now
seems likely tn proceed apace,
will further promote the realiza-
tion of that desirable consumnia-

|| tion when there shal! be no break
|in Canadian continuity in respect
‘}to population and development

from one ocean to the other,
This prospect is frought with
great satisfaction. Time was
when the most patriotic Cana-
dians did not feel any too gure
that a united Dominion would be
physically possible, and critics of
the country used to tell us that
nature had divided Canada inta
three parts, the easternprovinces,
the prairies and the Pacific coast,
the unoccupied lands of Northern
Ontario and the Rocky moun-
tains presenting barriera to a
complete union that could never
be overcome. We know better

| than this now and the knowledge
should make ua prouder than).

ever of our country and more
confident of its future,

Paasenper—‘‘Why are we .s0

Nate?”

Guard—~Well’ sir, the train in
front was behind, and this train

was behind before besides,” .
