Toronto Mail and Empirez-S‘ome in- dignation was aroused when a Cana- dian poet said that. Toronto was an unfriendly city, [but in New York the “'elfare Council says “New York is no place for the man or woman withâ€" out a job, friends, relatives or bank account.” But What. city is? a few miles of home there is rugged. plctm'esque scenery and beauty that 15 unexplored. There are thousands of natural beauty spots in Canada, and some. of them are near by. Farmer’s Advocate, (London, Ont.) Far-off pastures look green, and 'peo- ple are inclined to travel far in Search of fine scenery, while possibly within Leonard Peacock, infant son of Mr. and Mrs. \V. E. Peacock, of Garson Mine, near Sudbury, died last week and death is reported to have come indirectly from mosquito ’bites. The youngster was only two and a half months old and some of the mosquito ‘bites the child suffered in the ordinary course of living in that section of ‘ country became infected and tetanus, or lockjaw, resulted. The infant son was ill only about twenty-four hours when taken to the hospital at Sud- hury but died shortly after being admitted to the hospital.

Many people from the south are passing over it, and much good in the development of the dis- trict will the the result. In the mean- time, those who are ready to blame the Government if some one gets a car stuck in a mudhole should re» member that Temiskaming is but al small part of the Northland, and that the Northern Development Depart- ment is being beseiged for grants on roads all the way from Mattawa on the Quebec boundary to the Mani- toba boundary. We know something of the conditions 1n the north- w estern part of Ontario as well as in our own splendid Temiskaming. ’ ’ best to say nothing, and see how matters would turn out. “(Jne does not need to go more than a. few miles north of New Lis- keard to learn that there are. spots in the district which will require at- tention for several years ere it can he considered that the road will be in good repair for many years ahead. “Some people seem to imagine that when the road between North Bay and Timmins and Cochrane had been so far completed that an automobile could pass over it safely during a dry spell that the road was a permanent road, and would need no more atten- tion by the engineer. None of us who lived in the. newer parts of the Pro-i Vince believed this. 'We knew it‘ would take years ere the Ferguson highway would become a permanent road, and when we heard the Hon. William Finlayson say when speaking to the mayors and reeves at their :an- nual meeting last winter that, after spending so much in Temiskaming in' 1927, there would be less spent this year, it was likely .a mistake would, be made. However, having spent.l eonsideralfle time in some of the otherl Northern districts and heard (0111-: plaints made about the alleged large 4 amount of money which was being spent in Tenuskuming we thought it' . a “goat.” in connection with the very bad condition of the Ferguson high- way, it was easy to see that Hon. Mr. Finlayson was in for a warm time. People who have something against. a man are nearly sure to do a lot of talking, while friends are not. so like- ly to make any. big noise until there appears to be some very special rea- son. Accordingly Hon. Mr. Finlay- son got his humps, without anyone coming forward in his behalf to light- en the blows. A discussion on a some- what different plane than the com- mon .one, is made, however, in The New Liskeard Speaker last week. The Speaker says :â€" l As noted elsewhere in this and pre- vious issues Hon. Mr. Finlayson and all others concerned have come in for ‘very generaL criticism over the con- dition of the Ferguson highway. Hon. Mr. Finlayson was the target for a big part of the censure because of other resons. One section of the North resented his recent remarks re- «(arding the danger of forest files inl the North; another section was dis~l pleased at an implication taken trom one of his speeches that the settlers were not treating the (frown rightly in the matter of timber cut. \Vhen these groups were added to the big group that was actually looking for Parts of Highway Will Need Bx- ' penditures and Work for Some Years to Make Good.

It is announced that the dam will raise the water on the lake at least twelve feet. The water route from Hudson into the Red Lake dis- trict will be considerably improved, as Pelican Falls Will be practically flooded out. Construction of the dam is made possible by an arrange- ment agreed upon by the Ontario and Dominion governments. While the Ontario government will actually build the dam, the federal government is paying three-fifths of the cost, besides paying the whole interest. “A ° v ‘- fl‘n‘fin‘nnL :.. ‘.__L ,, ‘ Eastern 5,:ch Pmdw tage of the swim" floods next Year.

This is a country of im- e mense distances. The Provincial} - Police stationed in the North have; . regularly to travel long distances in - the course of duty. Police work here, as elsewhere calls for prompt atten-' tion. When the police are needed they are. needed right away, not sever- al days after. The sonner they are on the scene the better. As it has been here it often takes days for the police ' to travel to some outlying point where the service of the police may he ur» .gently needed. The addition of aero-l planes to the Provincial Police equip- ment would appear to be a step, or a flight in the right direction. Accord- ing to despatches from Toronto last week the possibility of the provinciall police forming an aerOplane patrol for Northern Ontario is being voiced at. ‘Queen’s Park. An aeroplane with police, pilot and a flying ollicer may be procured in an effort to hunt~ down: criminals in the Korth country. General V. A.
