It might be good business on the part of the jealous ones to attain greatness by the same methods 131 "Hon. Mr. Finlayson says the cost of a road from Timmins to Sudbury would be high. I would like to ask Mr. Finlayson how he arrives at that conclusion? Has he travelled from Timmins to Sudbury over the proposed route to see what it is like? How is such road going to cost high when threeâ€"quarters of it is already there, and 28 miles of it is as solid as ceâ€" ment, and has stood the rain of the past summer and is still in A 1 shape. It is a fact that if this 28 miles is so good the whole length may be made the same, for the same material is all the way along it. Once it is built we will just see how much it will cost to keep it in repair, compared to other roads to the east. A trip between Sudâ€" bury and Timmins will convince anyâ€" one that this would be the cheapest road in this North to build. As long as it is delayed, it means that American tourists coming to Canada will miss the very finest scenery in the North Land. Is it fair to ask tourists to come so far north and then see only half of the. country, and miss the best half of all? I would also like to ask Hon. Mr. Finlayson if it would not be a good thing to fix up this Sudbury to Timmins road and place the fire ranâ€" J In regard to a statement credited to Hon. Mr. Finlayson wherein the Minister of Lands and Forests was alleged to have said that the building of the belt line of roads would be an expensive proposition, a reader of The Advance writes this paper as follows: Much of it Already in Use. Some of it in Especially Good Shape.

Then, when the watchâ€" man on the towers along the road sees a fire he can phone from one end of it to the other, and the fire auto can come along and pick up the men. Then, perhaps, it might also be a good plan to have the rangers keep the road in good condition. When any bad stretches occur they can be attended to at once and fixed before they get any worse. I think this would be far better than having the fire rangers mileés and miles away in the bush cutâ€" ting trails in the dry weather. In the bush they would not know if a fire started somewhere else and in such cases it takes hours to find them to notify them of the fire. If they were placed along the road the watchman on the tower could give the alarm and the autos would do the rest. Of what use are the men up in these towers in the summer, if the rangers are miles away cuting trails in the thick forest? There are a few lumber companies and a big power company that might coâ€" operate in the fixing of the road from Sudbury to Timmins as these concerns certainly would derive material beneâ€" fit from such a road."

Major McMillan is generally recogâ€" nized as one of the best men on the _staff of the Ontario Dept. of Mines. He has had a long, varied and interes:â€" ing career in geological exploration, mining and inspection of mines. His career as a soldier overseas was equalâ€" ly creditable. In 1915 he went overâ€" seas, serving in France and Belgium with the tunnelling companies and the Canadian Engineers. He obtained his Lieutenancy in 1915, and was later proâ€" moted Captain, and then Major. In the great mine blowâ€"up of the Messines Ridge he played a considerable part. He was awarded the Military Cross for distinguished service. Major McMillan was born in Middlesex County, and is a graduate of the University of Toâ€" ronto, having taken his B.A.Sc. degree in 1901, and his M.E,. degree in 1910 He served on the staff of the Lake Superior Corporation for a year, and. for four years following was fellow and demonstrator ~6f mining engineer-‘ ing at his alma mater. He subsequentâ€" ly did considerable geological work tor the Department of Mines and was manager of the Foster Cobalt Mining Company. He was also for a time geologist for the Temiskaming and Norâ€" thern Ontario Railway and was in charge of harbour surveys for the railâ€" way at Moose Factory. This will not be the first expedition with which Major McMillan has been associated. In 1908 and 1909 he acted as geologist on the Canadian Arctic expedition under Capt. Bernier.

Kerekes was the winner in the eggâ€"laying conâ€" test. You Poor Kid, Why Are You So Skinny "Of recent years the tendency has been to lay stress on the mineral wealth of this part of the Province. But its opportunities as a dairying and farmâ€" ing country should not be overlooked. The present settlers may have to bear the burden and heat of the struggle on the land, but the day is not far disâ€" tant when flourishing farms scattered everywhere throughout the North will turn the tide of prosperity their way. In the meantime every assistance that can be rendered by the Government should be given." "That a splendid future faces New Ontario no one can doubt. Apart from the mining resources of the country. which hold undreamedâ€"of wealth in their keeping, the farming opportuniâ€" ties are unbounded. In yesterday‘s Globe a speaker at the convention of the Canadian Creamery Association sthted that it was a veritable "paradise for dairying," that might yet produce more butter than the older parts oi the Province. There was an abunâ€" dance of pasture and water, and clover grew as weeds. There seems to be very general agreement that the Ontario Governâ€" ment should give whatever assistance | may be given to help the settlers and farmers in the North who have been so | badly handicapped this year by the failure to harvest the crops on of the unusual amount of rain. It I should be noted that the Ontario Govâ€" |ernment has shown the most comâ€" | mendable readiness to assist. The deâ€" cision to buy large quantities of railâ€" | road ties for the T. N. O. is one eviâ€" dence of this inclination. The plan to do considerable winter gravelling anc other road work is another proof of the interest of the Ontario Governâ€" ment. It should not be forgotten, however, that the Dominion Governâ€" ment also has considerable responsiâ€" bility in the matter. Elsewhere in this | issue will be found the resolution passâ€" ed by the Northern Ontario Associated Boards of Trade last week at the sesâ€" sion in New Liskeard, this resolution suggesting not only that the Dominion Government should coâ€"operate with the provincial authorities, but also inâ€" dicating why, and how. "In every new country it is inevitable that a period of hardship should be undergone by the pioneers and trailâ€" blazers before its resources are made available and its wealth is tapped. Through such a phase of development New Ontario has been going for years, and its time of probation is not yet over., At the meeting of the Women‘s Institutes â€"in~Toronto the other day a letter was read from a woman settler in the North country describing the need of many of the people for assisâ€" tance to tide them over the present winter. Continued bad weather durâ€" ing the fall destroyed most of the crops in New Ontario, and the lack of work during the winter has threatened to create a distressing situation for the settlers. The Government and the T. N. O. Railway Company have taken steps to effect some measure of relief. but more might perbhaps be done in the way of furnishing work for these Northern farmers With all this to be kept in mind it may not be out of place to reproduce herewith the editorial article in ‘The Toronto Globe some days ago.
