It occeupies over ten per cent. of the aggregate land area of the Dominion and exhibits many varieties of climate and soil, from the distineâ€" tively southern conditions along the shores of lake Erie to the relatively diverse ones of Hudson and James Bays. Manitoba, its neighbouring province on the west, with an area sixâ€"tenths as large, exlubits varieties nearly as diverse as those Ontario.

Several times their limits have been set forth by Imperial exactmenrt or by Dominion statute, the ultimate effects of which have been large increases to the original areas of each.

VANCOUVER, B.C. stamp province.‘‘ The latest acquisiâ€" tion to the territory incuded within this province was by Dominion Act of Parâ€" liament in 1912 when a part of the district of Keewatin was included. At the same time, also, the present district of Patricia was added to the province of Ontario, and a large area in Labrador peninsula to Quebec. These three expanses of virgin terriâ€" tory contain possibilitiee for future development that can be only surâ€" mised today. These possibilities are indicated in the mineral development that has alâ€" ready taken place in the area in Maniâ€" toba, on the recent discoveries of the Red Lake area in Ontario, in the forest wealth as a source of timber and pulpwood, in the available power resources of the innumerable water falls, in tho hunting, fishing, and tourist attractions, and the many other features. When Ontario and Manitoba were extended in 1912 the boundary be tween them was defined. . This was to be along the thenâ€"existing meridianâ€" line eastern boundary of Manitoba to a point about 365 miles north of the International boundary from which point it turned northeasterly in a straigcht line to the eastern edge of Island lake and thence in a straight line to the intersection of the 60th parallel of latitude with the western shore of Hudson Bay. At that time only a small portion of this boundary line had been runm upâ€" on the ground, namely that part of the meridianâ€"line boundary lying south of Winnipeg river. _ The necessity for further demareation of the boundary soon ‘became apparent for reasons principally connected with adminisâ€" tration, and in 1921 and 1922 the meriâ€" dianâ€"line boundary was surveyed to the point at which it turns northeastâ€" erly. This performed under the diâ€" rection of two commissioners, the Diâ€" rector of Surveys, Toronto, for the province of Ontario, and the Surveyor General, Ottawa, for the Dominion of Canada. The interests of the proâ€" vince of Manitoba were considered to be the same as those of the Dominion since Dominion lands only were afâ€" fected. The report of these commissioners has just been issued. It presents a historical sketch with the incidents leading up to the necessity for the survey, the present boundaries, meâ€" thods of survey, actual surveys made, and a general deserlptlon of the disâ€" trict. An appendix giving the results of magnetic declmatmn obsenatmm is also inclined. Perhaps, the most interesting feaâ€" ture of the report so far as the genâ€" eral public is concerned, is the chapter THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO devoted to a description of the disâ€" trict. What little is known about this practically unknown area is preâ€" sented under various sections relating to physicial features and. economic possibilities of the country. The reâ€" port is well illustrated and is accomâ€"» panied by an atlas of maps, the comâ€" plete atlas containing sixteen sheets. Copies of the report and atlas may be obtained upon application to the Topographical Survey, Department of the Interrior, Ottawa, for the nominial fee of one dollar for the report and two dollars for the atlas, or three dollars for the both combined. These amounts are for the paperâ€"covered editions. The report alone is also issued in a cloth cover for which the fee is $1.25. The fee for the sheets contained in the atlas, if desired separately, is fifteen cents each.

The following open letter regardâ€" ing the music at the local theatres has been received for publication. It will be noted that the writer acknowâ€" ledges that the complaint is not so much with the present music as with the fact that there are not enough instruments in the orchestras. It would not be out of place to give speâ€" cial compliment to the music usually furnished by these small orchestras, notably the one at the New Empire theatre. At the same time there is much in the.letter received that is worthy of consideration. Here is the letter in full. To the Managements of Local Cinema Theatres: Dear Sirs:â€"Concerning the music¢ which is renderéd at our local cineâ€" mas, I think without doubt there is room for improvement. One cannot help but notice that the music is not always appropmate to some of the seenes enacted. All due respect to the orchestras furnished! They undoubtedly do their best, and such is appreciated to the fullest exâ€" tent. But they could do better were more instruments at their disposal. It is hard for a violinist to play continuously throughout a perforâ€" mance. _ Therefore at times we witâ€" ness the progress of the film unaccomâ€" panied by music. I have noticed at times sceenes of unusual interest,â€" scenes that depict a great moral,â€"are depicted without music, the result beâ€" ing that the interest deteriorates and the moral is often lost through the lack of music, or the wrong music beâ€" ing played. Pathetic scenes, wedding scenes, etce., are always before us during the film showing. What finer music could be rendered than that from an organ ? (Of course, I omit syncopation.) Were an organ at the disposal of our orchestras, we would get music approâ€" priate to such seenes, incidentally reâ€" lieving the violinist, which would mean a continued musical programme during the performances. Considering the class of films preâ€" sented to us in Tmnmins, and the prices we pay to see such, I think betâ€" ter music is coming to us. Knowing my suggestion is made at an inopportune time (the summer months fast approaching) _ which means smaller audienees, perhaps, the mangements will endeavour to make an improvement or an addition to the music at least at one of our cinemas for its fall patrons. â€"J, BODELL, Irene Thomas, pretty typist, Really made a hit With her new boss, Dave A.

GOLD PIN FOUND AFTER THE BATTLE LAST WEEK Last week the school youngsters crowded into The Advance offhce to secure the seribblers given away free. In the resulting ecrush no harm was done, but apparently one youngster lost a gold bar pin in the erush. At least after the battle was over such a pin was picked up on the floor. The youngster losing the pin may have same by calling at The Advance office and describing the pin. TRAVEL TO RED LAKE ARBA EXCEEDING LAST YEAR‘S There is not the howl about Red Lake that there was last year, but reâ€" ports from the district indicate that travel to that area actually exceeeds the rush of 1926.. The run into Red Lake: this year commeneed three weeks ago with the opening of the Northern rivers. Parties are leaving Sioux Lookout and Hudson every day and accommodation is taxed to the limit. At Goldpines formerly known as Pine Ridge the camps are filled to overflowing and men are bunking on the floor. The chief interest this year seems to be in the Narrow Lake and Woman Lake sections, where very promising discoveries were made last year. Among the special activities noted in some of the despatches is the fact that J. Carl Lawson and Robert Fleming, of Toronto, with a party of ten men, have gone to Narrow Lake to start work on the properties of the Lawson Narrow Lake Syndicate, loâ€" cated a little over a mile east of the Bathurst. _ They took in over a ton of supplies, and will inaugurate an agâ€" eressive surface campaign. The proâ€" pertiee comprise over a thousand acres, and several interesting finds have been made.
