That was surely a terrific wind that fanned South Porcupine last Friday night, but it was only agen- tle. balmy zephyr when camared with the “blow" of a certain Toron- camp to James Bay is taken into consideration. These latter places possess natural essentials in manufacturing unsur- passed in any portion of Ontario. and it does not appear unreasonable to presume that the real advantages of Northern Ontario proper will be carelessly overlooked by the manu‘ {aeturing fraternity. We welcome the flood news that (‘allander is likely to become eman- ulacturinx centre. but the possibility of a great manufacturing district at or in the vicinity of Porcupine and Cochranc should not he lost sight of. The battle for the presidency of the I'nited States is one of the most ex- citing and interesting in the history (if the Union. It is only a few months since Col- onel John Jacob Astor was being bitterly (lenounced in thousands of American newspapers because of the circumstances of his marriage to Miss Force. Most of them will now admit that the spirit of the old fur trader has not altogether disappear- 0d from the Astor tribe. and that if Miss Force married a niillionaim.she ::l~o married a man. It. is understood that Prince Arâ€" thur of (fonnaugbt is obtaining spe- cial army leave so as to Visit Can- ada in the autumn. It's up to the Toronto Ulobc to warn our royal guest to beware of Wildcats and blind pigs in Porcupine. But, still. those facts will not, we trust, mtcrfnro with the prom-cs: of Callander. The way people of the town are hustling: to ('lean up hawk-yards and front-yards is certainly most encour- aging. There is no better evidence of a worthy and progressive citizen than to note the manner in which he keeps his nwn premises in order. and in this respect the residents of South Porcupine are not lacking.
