A. Veterinary ,Corps.) Veterinary Surgeon New Liskeard, Ont authorities at once. With this obâ€" jeet in view, the North Bay Comteil and Board of Frade, after consuitâ€" ation with the representatives of a number of municipalities, have decidâ€" ed in favour of calling a eonvention of all the municipalities and represent ative bodies of Northern Ontario at North Bay to «diseuss these various questions and any other matters that are of interest to Northern Ontaro. As noted in recent issues of The Ad vance, some weeks ago a Committee was formed at North Bay to organize the whole North Land for the better development and improvement of this great country. The question arose at a meeting of the North Bay Board of Trade, where incidental reference was made to the various causes that held back the North Land from the proâ€" gress and development that the wonâ€" derful resourees and possihilities of this country suggested as its due. It was decided as a result of the Board of Trade discussion to form a Comâ€" mittee to be known as the Northern Ontario Improvement and Develop, ment Committee. This Committee has opened an oflice in North Bay, and the next step is to ‘be the calling of a monster convention of representatives from all parts of the North Land, on January 15th. In a letter to The Adâ€" vance this week Mr. John Ferguson, Mayor of North Bay, says it is desirâ€" ed from the outset to keep the public familiar with what is being done in the way of bringing before the proper authorities the wants and requireâ€" ments of the northern undeveloped portion of our Province. Mayor Ferâ€" guson enecloses a cireular letter which explains itself and reads as follows:â€" Office of Northern Ontarito Improve ment and Development Committee, North Bay, Ont., Nov. 22nd, 1919. It has ‘been felt in the past that Northern Ontarjo has not received due recognition from the Governâ€" ments of the day. The policies adopt ed in reference to our vast natural reâ€" sources such as mines, timber and aâ€" zricultural, have not in a great many «ases ‘been suitable for this part of the Provinee. It is further felt that a greater proportion ofâ€"the revenue derived from these natural resources should be spent in Northern Ontario. There is also the question of power development, transportation, taxation cducation, the refining of _ mnerals and many other matters, which quire immediate proâ€" per adjustment of these matters is urâ€" gent, and the future development of this part of the Province requres that they be brought before the proper authorities at onse. With this obâ€" It is proposed to call the convention about the 15th of January, 1920, and we wish to hear from you at your earliest convenience with a list of sub jeets which you desire to have consiâ€" dered, together with any suggestions you may have to offer. Also advise us as to the number of delegates that will attend from your locality. JOHN FERCGUSON, Mayor. J. W. RHICHARDSON, President of the Board of Trade. In referring to the matter of this proposed Convention, The Advanee some weeks ago suggested that North Bay was not the best pl'u;c for such a gathering. North Bay is more of the type of Old Ontario towns and so not perfectly suited for the ‘‘atmosâ€" phere"‘ for the ideal North Land Conâ€" vention. The â€" Advanee _ previously favoured Cobalt, Haleybury or New Liskeard, as more central for ths whole immense territory involved and also more typically ‘‘North Land." However, in reply to this suggestion it is pointed out that North Bay is possibly the best town for the purpose from the viewpoint of accommodation as the number attending the Convenâ€" tion will tax even North Bay‘s powers of accommodation. Perhaps neither Cobalt, â€" Haileybury Liskeard could give accommodations to as large a gathering as will meet at this Monsâ€" ter Convention. After the Convention in January, however, no doubt further mectings will be required and these should certainly be staged at the typâ€" ieal North Land towns.

Fire Chief Borland had everything in readi ness to render any assistance possible in the fighting of this fire but reserved the leaving of the town until such a course was clearly necessary and the required steps were taken to protect the town. In the meantime, however, the staff at Pieree‘s mill and others in the neighborhood were making satisâ€" factory progress in fighting the small blaze‘tand eventually succeeded in exâ€" tinguishing it.
