EXTENSION TNTO ROUYN 16 HELO UP BV QUEBEG Quebec Premier Says Ontario is Not to Get Business of New Quebec Camp. Last week many were startled at the news that Quebece Province had actuâ€" ally held up the work of buildirftg the Nipissing Central Railway extension into the Rouyn Camp in Quebee. The Province was able do this by absolutely refusing to allow the Riotdan Company to grant the use of any part of its timberâ€"dlimits as a right of way for the proposed Ontario Railway to Rouyn. The timâ€" ber limits being Crown Lands are unâ€" the full and final control of the Province. _ The Nipissing Central, which is a subsidiary company of the T; N.0O., with Mr. Geo. Lee, as presiâ€" dent, operates under a Dominion charâ€" ter and it was thought that the Proâ€" vince of Quebee frould not interfere in the matter. ‘The proposed Jine was all surveyed and large quantities of supplies taken onto the ground ready for the rushing of work as soon as the weather permitted. A number of men were ready to go in and take up the work â€"Now everything is at a standstill. Mr. Geo. Lee, president of the Nipissing Central is hopeful that the natter ‘will be amicably arâ€" ranged. He says that the Ontario Railway went ahead on the proposed railway in good faith and that the final decision to build the line was arrived at after an interest in the Rouyn Camp from its commencement. Premier Ferguson also takes a simiâ€" lar stand, pointing out that the purâ€" pose iwas to assist in the opening of the Nonth Land where Ontario has inâ€" vested so much money, and not to unâ€" fairly force trade to Ontario. Last week Premier Tashereau reâ€" ceived Hon. Chas.: MeCnea and after the conference, the Quebee Premier issued a statement in which he emâ€" phasized the fact that there was mo hostility towards Ontario, ‘but that after spending two and a half milâ€" lion dollars a yean in the Temiskaâ€" ming and A‘bitibi distrets in order to develop these districts, such as by way of building roads, aiding colonization, Quebec naturally felt that it would be unfair now te allow ‘Ontamio to tap the rich district developing with a view to diverting traffic to Toronto. ‘‘We have an assurance,‘‘ said the Premier Tashereau, ‘‘that a branch line will be built from O ‘"Brien, on the Transgcontinental, into the ‘Rouyn district by the Canadian National Railway and this will be ibuilt during the coming season. This will mean that the trade of the district will come to Quebece on to Montreal and that supplies for the district will go from these centres so that some ‘benefit from our efforts will flow back to our centres."‘ Most people will appreciate the attitude of Quebec in the matter, but one chief objection is made to this stand, namely : that it was left so late to make announcement,â€" after the Ontario Raflway had taken in materâ€" ials and men and made material exâ€" penditures in preparation fon the work.

Annual Meeting of Timmins Baseball Club Adjourned Another Meeting Called for Toâ€"morrow (Thursday) Evenâ€" ing. â€" Financial Statement Presented for Past Season and Accepted. General Discussion on Baseball Prosâ€" pects. There was:only a fairâ€"sized attenâ€" dance at the annual meeting of the Timmins Baseball Club held in the Town Hall on Friday evening Jast. Those present, however, made up in interest and enthusiasm what they might lack in numbers. It was felt that there were several counter atâ€" tractions on in town for the evening and that many accordingly were unâ€" able to be present for the Baseball gathering. As a consequence it was â€"considered best to adjourn the meetâ€" ing to a later date, for the election of officers, ete. Thursday of this week (toâ€"morrow) . was eventually selectedâ€"the meeting to be in the Council Chamber, Town Hall, Fourth Avenue, commencing at 8 p.m. sharp. _ There was a general diseussion on ‘baseball, and the gathering was enâ€" thusiastice for a big season this year. Mr, McGrath suggested a local league to include Schumacher and South Poreupine, as well as town teams. This would he thought, afford good sport and keep up interest in baseball, as well as allowing opportunity for practise games. He thought the disâ€" trict teams could be selected from the best players in the various local teams, Mr. R. Carmichael, president for 1924, acted as chairman at the meetâ€" ing on Friday nlght He carried his dutles through in effective way and Last night the service was at the Baptist church, with Rev. Mr., Cushâ€" ing as the special speaken. The serâ€" vices this evening will be at the Presâ€" byterian church with Rev. M. R. Hall as the special speakcer, and toâ€"morrow (Thursday) Rev. J. D. Parks will ibe the special speakey at.the Salvation Army. The attendance Monday and Tuesday was very large, St. Matâ€" thew‘s church and the Baptist church respectively being filled to icapacity for the special services. __ UNION SERVICES THIS WEEK PROVING SUCCESSFUL The Union Services ‘being held this week iby the foun Protestant churches of the town are proving of much inâ€" interest and are attracting large atten dances. All the cletgy take part at each of these services. . (Monday evening the service was at St. Matâ€" thew‘s Anglican church, with Capt. Cornthwaite as the special speaker. that the opposition to the proposed extensiion of the Ontario Railway into Rouyn is really fostened by the Canâ€" adian National Railways, rather than by Quebee Province, though Sir Henâ€" ry Thornton denies this absolutely. In the meantime, however, negotiâ€" ations are unden way, and perhaps an amicable adjustment may ‘be asâ€" sited and advanced by a general reâ€" fraining from too strong exiposition of either side of the case. T. N. O. Station. hese services. _ (Monday service was at S8t. Matâ€" lican church, with Capt. as the special speaker. Mr. L. 8.
