Fenate have been fully shown to the Dominion Government. After all this, however, the reply in effect is that political necessity requires the awarding of the Senate seats elsewhere. In other words, unless other sections already well represented in the Senate are given attention, there will be dissatisfacâ€" tion. The North Land, without any representation at all, is practically adâ€" vised to give itself a nice long chase through the bush. At one time Provinâ€" gial Governments appeared to take the attitude that the North Land did not need any special consideration. The country was without adequate repreâ€" sentation and its needs were not given special attention. The attitude of the Ferguson Government has been a much more farâ€"sighted one.

Sidney‘Little, of Lonâ€" don; and Dr. Gustave Lacasse, of Tecumseh; to the Dominion Senate, the Federal Government has expressed its contempt for the North Land. The North Land comprises 80 per cent. of the area of all Ontario. It represents much of the wealth and a large measure of the prospects for the future of the Province of Ontario. â€" This North Land holds the greater part of the national resources of the Province in the wealth*of forest and mine. At the present time the North is being recognized everywhere, but at Ottawa, as a special factor in the great future of Canada.

Notices have béen published in the newsâ€" papers of the North Land calling attention to the fact that a total reward of $5,000.00 is offered by the Province of Ontario for information that will lead to the capture of the murderer of Inspector Constable. This official notice is published elsewhere in this issue. Cireulars giving similar information have been reâ€"posted throughout the district. While the Provincial Police should be commended for showing interest and activity in this matter, rather than e that has featured the case to date, it is sincerely to be e do not imagine that their duty will be done The emphasis of the masterly silenc hoped that the Provincial Polic when they have finished their present job of billâ€"posting. the fact that $5,000 is offered as a reward may tempt some of the underâ€" world to tell what they may know, but there is no certainty. Something more than gestures are needed in this case. As The Advance has persistently pointed out, the murder of Inspector Constable was a direct challenge by the underworld to law and order and decency. The authorities should take up the challenge and solve this mystery, regardless of cost or trouble. If the tive force finds itself unable, for any reason, to do the work, Provincial detec It is not likely that even assistance from other sources should be secured. the material reward offered will tempt private agencies to take up the soluâ€" tion of the crime, especially at this late date. It will likely take time and money now to secure the necessary evidence to punish the guilty. This time and money should be spent. It should be remembered that there is no desire to eriticize the Provincial Police, except in so far as their lack of success in the matter necessarily invites censure. The big idea is to secure the arrest and conviction of the cowardly murderer of Inspector Constable. The beâ€" lief is that the Inspector was murdered as a direct result of his loyalty to duty. The underworld gave its reply to Inspector Constable‘s devotion to duty Ferguson Government the North have been g Government has been to the world Iand is not so prospx In an address at North Bay last week Hon. W. Finlayson, Minister of Lands Forests, made a strong appeal for support of the policy the Government will introduce at the next session of the Provincial Parliament in regard to the development of Northern Ontario. The policy may be summed up as a plan whereby the settlement of the North Land will be speeded up, while there will be practical steps taken for conservation of the forest wealth of the Province and for reâ€"forestation. Hon. Mr. Finlayson foresees a possibility that the new policies may rouse some opposition until they are fully understood. Anything new has a tenâ€" dency to bring criticism, and especially so if it involves the spending of some money. Hebelieved that eventually all would give the Government support in its efforts for the North, because the progress and prosperity of the North would react in pleasing way upon the whole province. ‘‘You in Northern Ontario can readily see the benefits that will accrue with the successful operâ€" ation of such a scheme and we of the Government appeal for your wholeâ€" hearted coâ€"operation in the practical application of the policy,"‘ said the Minister. On several occeasions The Advance has outlined the promising plans evolved by Hon. Mr. Finlayson and the Government for the development of the North and the conservation of its timber wealth. The plans includes the transfer of settlers from land unsuited for farming but adapted to forests, and the conâ€" servation of existing timber even though drastic regulations may be necesâ€" sary. The Government has, proposed nothing that does not appear practical and necessary. _ The problems have been studied by keen and interested brains, and the remedies promise great advantage to Ontario. The people of Ontario.should give the Government the heartiest support in working out these plans and policies. All Ontario should be interested, because the matâ€" ter vitally affects the whole province. In this North Land, however, the situation should be the more easily recognized, and the benefits, being nearer ‘home, should be sooner acknowledged. The people of this North should acâ€" cordingly give the most active and thoughtful «oâ€"operation and assistance to the Government in the work under way. Every good citizen should make the matter ‘his own personal business and the Government should have no reason for regret at the attitude of the people of the North. In this the North will be working for all Ontario. TIMMINS, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, JAN. 12TH, 1928 Thursday, Jan. 12th, 1928 THE FULLEST SUPPORT SHOULD BE GIVEN THE GOVERNMENT.

MeCrea, Minister of Mines, was drawn to the kindly gift of Mr. Harry Oakes to Kirkland Lake, this gift takâ€" ing the form of a rink that cost over ‘M)o 000.00, the Minister put his thoughts into words in the following létter to Mr. Oakes :â€"â€" ‘‘Dear Harry,â€"‘*‘On the 10th of January, 1928, you are presenting to the children and citizens of your beâ€" loved Kirkland Lake a gift which is very tangible and realâ€"the Kirkland Lake Skating Rink. I cannot thereâ€" fore allow the occeasion to pass withâ€" out writing to express to you my sinâ€" cere appreciation of your magnaniâ€" mous and generous deed. It is acts such as these which make the Sons of the North proud of their Northâ€" land and proud of those who are playâ€" ing a part in a constructive way to build it up. The North is blest in having in its midst men of big heart and l)ig vision, who, educated, fashâ€" ioned, and refined in the Mining Congress of the Federation of Chamâ€" bers of Commerce of the British Emâ€" pire, held in Cape Town, South Africa, in October, as delegate from the Onâ€" tario Associated Boards of Trade and Chambers of Commerce and successâ€" fully put through the resolution emanâ€" ating from the Cochrane Board of Trade to secure international uniforâ€" mity of rules governing the passing of traffic on highways and incidentally put Cochrane on the map in an uns mistakable manner through the promâ€" inence given him during the meetings of the Congress and the subsequent travel of the delegates over some 5000 miles railways and 2000 miles motor trips through South Africa as U'uewfs of the South African Government.‘ Monday evening just before six 0‘â€" clock the firemen had a run to. Mr. Martin‘s residence, corner of Fifth avenue and Spruce street. The fire was a very threatening one on account of the dense smoke and the rapidity with which it had spread. By the prompt and skilful work of the chietf and brigade, however, the blaze was put out, with the minimum of loss in view of the extent of the blaze, only the chemical tanks being used. The fire started in the basement from unrâ€" known cause. The departmental store destroyed by fire at North Bay last week v as the Canadian Departmental Store, No. 13.

The town of Timmins is entitled to good post office service. ~It may be true that the present building will not permit of perfect service, but the answer to that is along the line of suggesting the providing of a building that will be adequate to the needs. There would be little agitation for a Government post office if the present one were giving the service and accommodation.

American stage toâ€"day there are three competent actresses to every one comâ€" petent male in the profession. Yet in the ‘‘clown‘‘ line the men have no competition. He instances Charlie Chaplin as a illustration. ‘‘What woâ€" man,‘‘ he asks, ‘‘as attractive a woman as Chaplin is a man, would get herâ€" self into a permanent makeâ€"up the way Charlie does, and never once reveal the fact that she is a bewitching specimen of beauty ?" Many may be tempted to agree with this generalizing. _ But it is not in keeping with the facts. In the line of stage clowning, there are many actresses who have equalled the art of Chaplin. Gale Henry might be quoted as an example. Louise Fazenda is another. _ The Gish Sisters should also be remembered. These ladies have played the clown to perfection, and they have set their art above their natural beauty. It is off the stage that mer are supreme in clownâ€" ing, and even in political life ladies like Agnes McePhail give the most of them a run for honours. w eC A writer in a recent issue of The Kapuskasing Courier urges the construcâ€" tion of a branch line from Kapuskasing to Foleyet to assure the big new paper town of as close connection as possible with the south. Such a line would mean that the business of Kapuskasing would travel by rail over the Canadian Government Railways. , The Ontario Government Railway would lose the big business promised by the growing industry at Kapuskasing. The people of Kapuskasing naturally desire connection with the south, and they are anxious for the railway service at the earliest moment. No doubt if the T. N. 0. would supply the necessary line to the south, Kapuskasing would be satisfied. Failing this, the thoughts of Kapuskasing must natu‘rally turn elsewhere. The solution of the matter that promises the best for this partiâ€" cular section of the North Land is the extension of the T. N. 0. from Timâ€" mins to Kapuskasing, passing through the Kamiskotia copperâ€"gold area. Such a line would probably be profitable from its inception, and would also be very valuable in developing a very promising section of this North. A writer in The Montreal Gazette makes the suggestion that there are no women with the faculty for playing the clown in a professional way. ‘*There are no female Falstaffs;‘‘ he says, ‘‘the best of them are only prospective Cinderellas.‘‘ In extending on his theme the writer points out that on the American stage toâ€"day there are three competent actresses to every one comâ€" petent male in the profession. Yet in the ‘‘clown‘‘ line the men have no The Cochrane Northland Post last Kirklan f Experience,"‘ AIma Mater (in Lake) â€" which prompts them to do the handsome, noble and generous thing you are doâ€" ing, making a contribution to the health, happiness and community spirit of a town in which many will ‘spend important years of their lives.
