During 1927 the company‘s operators put through over 100,000 long distance calls, many of them to nearby towns in Temiskamâ€" ing and many others in different parts of Ontario, Quebec and the Northern states. The Temiskaming Company has kept up with the development of the Northland; two years ago a line was built into Rouyn, months before the railway was in there, first only a temporary line being built and later a permanent pole line with metallic service, transposed according to the latest telephone specifications. Last month another new exchange was opâ€" ened at Kapuskasing. 78 telephones are in use with more being connected up every day. Kapuskasing is now in touch with the outside world by telephone, the T.

It hardly seems reasonable that these distriects are so far ahead of any others, which have convemient access by rail and water, as to warâ€" as if there is in human nature a naâ€" tural longing to pass by all opporâ€" tunities that are close at hand, and reach out after ithe distant ones. Everything that is far away, difficult of access, and requring extra exertion and expense, looms up as being the best on earth, in the imagination of men. laid aganinst nature, so long as the urge to get as far away as posâ€" sible from the ease and conveniences of civilization, for development of all kinds, is so insistent. it would seem as if there is in human nature a naâ€" Lake, Rouyn, Red Lake, Kamiskotia, and all the other fields on the map in turn. The practical development of the fields is not up to the prospector. That is the work of the mining men. There is no fault to be found in the matter with the prospector. As noted before, he does his part, usually under difficulties. However the attraction of far fields is one of great interest. The matter was recently discussed at length by a writer in the Industrial Number of The Mail Empire. This writer says :â€"â€" ‘‘No accusation of laziness can be elds mentioné is with these popular fields or present a new one that will win the popular faney. The latter is a difficult proâ€" position and usually appears more workable in connection with an area that is either far away or difficult of access. In any case, the prospector certainly does his part when he brings the farâ€"away fields to attention. The prospector put Poreupine, Kirkland On several occasions The Advance has referred to the tendency of prosâ€" pectors to travel far afiecld. _ Often they pass by promising fields to reach distant places. At the time of the Red Lake rush a couple of years ago, The Advance referredâ€" to the charm of farâ€"away places for the prospector, mentioning the fact that in the Porâ€" cupine there were areas that awaited development but were passed by. The Kamiskotia area, the Deloro area and other nearby localities were mentioned Since then the Kamiskotia rush has proven that the prospector does not pass by nearby fields because of any disregard for them, but for other reaâ€" sons. One of these reasons is that the public appears to fasten on one particular area at a time. One year it will be Quebec, another Red Lake, another Kamiskotia, and so on.

Empire says :â€" NECESSITY TO ECONOMISE IN THE USES OF GOLD NOW Health for Ontario, is prepared to come to North Bay at an early date to discuss with the representaives of the northern municipalitiee the subâ€" jeet of indigents and their treatment. Following the failure to arrange for a deputation to Toronto recently to meet Hon. Mr. Forbes Godfrey, the Minister of Health, Dr. Bell has sugâ€" gested the other proposal. Dr. Bell, a former resident of North Bay, and familiar to some extent with the problem as it affects the organizâ€" ed municipalities, has written to Mayâ€" or Frank Lendrum, at Cobalt, outlinâ€" ing his views on the proposed meetâ€" ing at North Bay. He suggests that a memorandum expressing fully the views of the municipalities representâ€" ed can be prepared and that this doeâ€" ument can later be presented to the provincial authorities by a small deâ€" legation. In reply, the mayor has asked for notice to be given of the date of the suggested session, in order that the municipalities may be notiâ€" fied in time to premit a representaâ€" tive to attend, if so desired. _ By transferring the meeting to North Bay, it is hoped to secure a larger atâ€" tendance from the north than would be possible if the gathering took place in Toronto.
