NORTA IN PAST THIRTY YEARS In 1897 There Were Less Than 100 White People Living North of Liskeard. Now There are 100,000. The Advance always finds much of interest in The New Liskeard Speaker. The wellâ€"written articles on a variety of subjects dealt with by The Speaker are always worthy of careful reading. xenw'mm ' ‘ V! 807 "Our farmers have done as well as the average farmer of Old Ontario has done and perhaps somewhat better during 1926, on account of their great luck with clover seeds. _ But if the Government of Ontario would appoint an officer to grade hay and oats, as well as to see that when a farmer ships a car of hay, or potatoes to some far distant Northern Ontario mining town he is fairly treated, then it would be an advantage over the presâ€" ent system. _ While we do not feel free to explain exactly what we mean, we think there should a Government officer who could be called upon to fairly grade the quality of the proâ€" ducts shipped when the purchaser alâ€" leges that the shipment is not as good as the quality he had ordered. From what we have learned the appointâ€" ment of such an officer would be all to the good for our farmers, although we must admit that in some cases farmers have been to (blame. But this reference to the marketing of farâ€" mers‘ products was not in our mind when we started to write about the great growth of the Northland, for what we really had in mind was the faith, optimism, or visiqn of those early settlers who came to Temiskamâ€" ing before there was a railroad, and before anything defuute in revard to railway extension ‘from North Bay had been decided upon. These people must have often congratulated themâ€" selves, and rejoiced that their expecâ€" tations had been verified. They came here when it took three days to reach Haileybury from Toronto, while naviâ€" gation was open, and longer during the winter. And they came here to farm, as nothing was then known of the rich mines of this country; and even farming had not been thoroughly ‘‘Our pulpwood industry and our pulp and paper mills are flourishing as they never did ‘before m Canada, giving employment to many thousands of men. Several large new mills have been erected during the past two years and the New York Times people are erecting at Kapuskasing the largest and most upâ€"toâ€"date paper mill in the world. "It is not our intention to underâ€" take to give a review of the great enâ€" terprises of the Northland. _ To do this would require weeks of careful investigation, and take up much newsâ€" paper space; but in an article we pubâ€" lished in 1923 we stated that the mine wage bill then daily was $46,000, and at the rate of $16,000,000 per year, and since then many new mines have been opened and are being operated, while searcely any of the old mines have been closed, so that the wage bill must have largely increased during the past three years, which means that the output has also increased, as well as the Province‘s revenue from mines. ‘"On Saturday of last weekâ€" the first of January, 1927â€"Temiskamâ€" ing‘s festive season of 1926â€"7, closed, and on Monday of this week many mineâ€"workers, bushmen and employees of various callings were to be seen hustling back to their various occupaâ€" tions in various parts of this Northâ€" land, and all the better fitted for their work because of the slight rest. *Although we Canadians are a matâ€" ter of fact people, not given to sentiâ€" mentaiism, yet all thoughtful persons, must sometimes at least, ponder on the wonder of the Northland. Thirty years ago there were less than a hunâ€" dred white people living between Lisâ€" keard and James‘ Bay ; today one hunâ€" dred thousand happy, wellâ€"dressed, wellâ€"fed people reside in this region. Thirty years ago, the region was covâ€" ered with green bush mostly; today there are hundreds of thousands of acres of cleared land from which at least some farmers sold as high as three thousand dollars‘ worth of eloâ€" ver seed,‘besides other erops. Indeed, one of our farmers received over $6,â€" 000 for his clover seed last year. "Thirty years ago Temiskaming bore the same relation to the electorâ€" al district of Nipissing that James‘ Bay bears to the constituency of North Cochrane today. . Now this country has three representatives in the Ontaâ€" rio Legislature, and based on populaâ€" tion, is entitled to a fourth member. It is the line of historieal informaâ€" tion and comment about the North Land that The Speaker is especially valuable and readable. The New Liskeard editor knows from actual reâ€" sidence in the country for a lifeâ€"time just what he is writing about, and his style of writing has a particular charm of its own. This is but preâ€" face to the reproduction of an article in The Speaker recently. _ Writing under the heading, **‘The Land or Hope and Glory,"‘ The Speaker says: THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO Swallow RAZâ€"MAH capsules. Send 5c for tris Templetons, Toront». $1 at your druggist\ CHRONIC BRONCHIT!IS, HEATD AND onder of the ago there w white people Previous to 1926 Timmins had folâ€" lowed the plan of holding its municeiâ€" pal elections the first Monday in Deâ€" cember, instead of the first Monday in January. This plan worked very satisfactorily. It meant that the holiâ€" day season was not spoiled by ‘eleeâ€" tion campaigns. It meant more inâ€" terest and attention to municipal matâ€" ters. Public affairs were settled beâ€" fore the Christmas business rush and the holiday season came along. Other municipalities in the North Land, inâ€" cluding Whitney, Tisdale, Iroquois Falls, etc., also followed the earlier clection plan and evidently found it satisfactory. ‘Still others have conâ€" sidered adapting it for the evident advantages it possesses. Timmins had to go back to the old plan for one year through the mixâ€"up here in muiâ€" cipal affairs in 1926 when the assessâ€" ment was so long delayed, with conâ€" sequent delay in the issuing of the voters‘ lists, ete. _ However, it is likely that Timmins will return to the earlier date again. ‘"‘That the first Monday in January is an unsuitable date for municipal elections in Northern Ontario, will enâ€" gender little argument. We are usâ€" ually under the handicap of midâ€"winâ€" ter conditions, with deep snow, cold weather and a general disposition on the part of people not to turn out. It is also the holiday season, when many either have visitors or are abâ€" sent from town. On account of these conditions many neglect to or are unâ€" able to use their franchise. Among the other towns that have considered the December election day idea is Sudbury. In the last issue of the Sudbury Star the following editorial appeared :â€" "These facts have been recognized for some time and many municipaliâ€" ties have set the date of their muniâ€" cipal elections ahead to a more seaâ€" sonable time. Nearly fifty per cent. of the municipalities in Ontario are holding their annual election either in November or early in December. It only requiries closing the financial year in October and November, inâ€" stead of in December. The first year the council in office will have but ten or eleven months to account for, but thereafter the financial year will comâ€" prise twelve months as now. "There may be objections to the proposal, as we seem to be so hopeâ€" lessly wedded to convention in such matters, but the advantage of holdâ€" ing a municipal election in late Noâ€" vember or early December as comparâ€" ed with January is an election reform that would be well worth while." ‘*The future of Temiskaming looks bright. It will not be surprising if what has been called ‘‘New Ontario‘‘ will eventually be caller the ‘‘Greater Ontario."‘ tested. But soon mines were discovâ€" ered, the contract for railway extenâ€" sion was let, and the boom was on unâ€" der the Crown Lands Commussionerâ€" ship of the Hon. E. J.
