Better Passenger Service Necessary on T. N.0. Railway In the following letter Mr. R. A. MclInnis touches on a matter that should have the closest general attenâ€" tion. Mr. Melnnis shows very clearâ€" ly the necessity for a better passenâ€" ger service on the T. N.0. to meet the conditions arising from the phenoâ€" menal growth and expansion of inâ€" dustry in this North. Under the chairmanship of Mr. Geo, W. Lese the T. N. 0. Railway Commission has greatly improved the service to this North Land, and for this The Adâ€" vance has upon occasion expressed due appreciation. But praise for good work done is simply meant as an inâ€" centive to further effort for improveâ€" ment and puwblic service. The T. N. 0. has done well. That should be gladly admitted. But if the T. N. 0. can do better, then all should enâ€" courage the Commiuission to that efâ€" !fect. ‘‘Better service to meet preâ€" sent conditions‘‘ should be a topic taken up by all the Boards of Trade of this part of the North. The quesâ€" tion should be given the most careâ€" ful consideration by the T. N. O. Railway â€" Commuission. The letter from Mr. MeInnis outlines the case in very effective fashion :â€" Citizens and T. N. 0. Commission Do Not Fully Realize the Importance of This Matter, Says Mr. R. A. Mcinnis, Manager of the Abitibi Power Paper Co. Growth of Industries in North Warrants Improvement in Serâ€" gice. Sault Ste. Marie Better Served Than This ction. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO A+number of the industrial enterâ€" prises in the North Country are beâ€" coming so large and so important that it is necessary for the best results to have business done on the ground. That means men from Montreal, Toâ€" ronto, New York, Buffalo, Detroit, etc. coming to the North to do business. With the present rail service this means two business days on the train from either Montreal or Toronto to do a few hours business. The result The following is a favorite poem of an oldâ€"time and present reader and friend of The Advance. ‘""*I like this poem,‘‘ he says, ‘‘and T woulld like other readers of The Advance to have the opportunity of reading it.‘‘ Just before the last great charge Two soldiers drew their rein For a shake of the hand and a partâ€" ‘*‘Tell her my spirit willswalit for her (n the border line, between Heaven and earth until she comes, It won‘t be long ‘‘*I have a fair face on my breast, I will wear it into the fight, With a sunny smile and bright blue ‘‘Write to her Charlie, when I‘m gong, Send back that fair, fond face.

Dear Sir :â€"I note in a recent issue an item praising the service .on the T. N. 0. Railway. If you mean that it is much improved over what it was formerly, I agree with you, but I cannot agree that the service on the T. N. 0. is what it should be in the interests of Northern Ontario. in g word ; They never might meet again. When you find that I am gone. ing, ‘*Charlie, my hour has come. promise to me little trouble to is that it is almost impossible to get business men from these places to make the journey, so that ibusiness is not so satisfactorily arranged as it should be. In the reverse direction it is the same. In order to spend an hour or two hours in Montreal or Toronto it takes two business days on the train, making a three day trip for a oouple of hours of business. If we look at Northwestern Ontario, we find they have a much better rail service. The Soo, for instance, is practically the same distance from Toronto that Porquis Junction is, yet business men from Toronto can make the journey to the Soo in a day and back with several, hours of business at the Soo in a day and a half, as against two and a half days to Cochâ€" rane, Timmins or Iroquois Falls.. To the Soo he loses one office day, to this district he loses two office days. (Going to the Soo a Toronto man leaves at night, gets there noon next day, can do his business that afterâ€" noon, leave at night and be home the following morning. One day and a half of time oceupied in the trip but only oneâ€"half a day of sunlight on board the train. To Timmins, Iroâ€" quois Falls or Cochrane, a Toronto man leaves at night, same time as for the SBoo, spends the whole next day of sunlight on the train arriving too late to do business which he has to do the following day and leave at noon in order to arrive in Toronto the following morning. § Business men from the North going to Toronto are even worse off taking a half day longer and spending two sunlight days on the train. _ When you figure that a large number of men in the North have to go to Toâ€" ronto ‘or Montreal many times during the year it means an enormous loss of time. ONFE TRIP A MONTH TO EITHER OF THESE CENTRES MEANS PRACTICALLY A MONTH OF DAYIGHT HOURS SPENT ON THE TRAIN,. ranks And jeered them as they fell.
