To make certain of ample authiority for the season of 1930, the department has now under preparation the required enabling legislation. Information was given at Toron‘to last week by Hon. William Pinlayson, Minister of Lands and Porests, that legislation would be inktroduced at the next session of the Provincial House which will vest his department with authority to close secticns in the North to tourist travel and prospecting activiâ€" ties where and whenever the bushâ€"fire hazard renders such action imperative. Last summer, in the face of ithe worst hazard in the past 25 years, the deâ€" pariment actually took such a step in various sections of New Onfario. In many cases the public readily coâ€"operâ€" ated, but there were also many inâ€" stances where departmental instrucâ€" tions were completely disregarded, anid, sECTIONS OF NORTH MAY BE CLOSED TO TOURISTS Wherever possible existing lines have been used to connect the district office here with the towers, the T. N. O. aavd the Canada Northern Power Co. wires having been utilized in some inâ€" stances. A spocial line, 22 miles in length, connects Kamiskotia tower with Timmins, but messages to and from that iobservation post have to be reâ€" layed, so far as the head office here is affected. When the Nighthawk towâ€" er is ready, it will be joined up over the poles of the abandoned system of the fcormer Great Northern Power Co. which is quite closs, and permission to use which has been obtained.. The government system in the district is additional of that maintained by the Abitibi Power and Paper Co. in its own limits, which includes iten towers, all comnnected with the company‘s plant at Iroquois Falls, Mr. Hamilton said Ithat the government rangers had always‘ had the best coâ€"operaticn possible from ‘the big private corporations operâ€" ating in the district. [ At presentt, ‘there are 12 towers, loâ€" _cated at strategic poinits in the vast area, some of these hiaving been placed ’in commuss‘on during the past season. | Next year, it is hoped to erect towers ‘a’t: Nizhthawk Lake and at Watabeas, ‘{and the work will be gradually exteondâ€" led until the enitire district is covered. lo,.“a sicns ito date have been carried through since the summer of 1923, Mr. Hamilton said, anid include the erection OfI 120 miles of telephone wires to difâ€" ferent outlying posts. In this connecâ€" ticn, the principal stretch of specially conutructsd is west alcons the hisghway toward Moonbeam, where 5+ miles were built, and to which two towers in that section located respecâ€" tively ton and five miles from the road. will be linked up next spring.

NEW TOWERS TO BE BUILT BY THE FOREST SERVIGE THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO "We quite agree with our confrere that conditions sometimes arise when the building of a road to the border of t‘ another Province is necessary. A case iin point was the building of the road from New Liskeard to the border near North Temiskaming. This was one of the first roads built in the Liskeard section, and the first to receive attenâ€" tion when the Northern Development Branch entered upon a more intensive roadâ€"building campaign. But this road passes through wellâ€"settled and excelâ€" lent farm land, and a daily mail and stage passes over it. Besides, the Queâ€" bec Government was anxious to have Ontario build this road, carried it on from the border and later built a road from Rouynâ€"Noranda to connect with this road. It may thus be seen that the Rouynâ€"Noranda road via Ferguson highway, a reference to which was igâ€" |nored by the North Bay deputation, was built by both provinces and is the recognized road which both proâ€". vinces must keep in repair. â€" Upwards of 20 miles of North Bay‘s proposed road would pass through an unbroken‘ forest where no one lives, and over1 land which is not good for agricultural purposes, while there would be| no bridge across the Ottawa, nor connectâ€" ing road across on the Quebec side. As we see matters, North Bay is blind to its own interests. Far better would it be for the Northland Gatewayâ€"to join The Advance and The Speaker in | getting the Government to build roads‘ to promote settlement of our farm lands and thus encourage farmers to‘ settle here. This would be of permaâ€"| nent benefit to the Province, and farl better for North Bay than this proâ€" posed tourist road. In The Nuggets, last issue there is another reference to this road question, but no arguments in its favour were advanced, nor was any statement made by us refuted alâ€" | though two paragraphs of our article were quoted. So it is not needful that we should have anything more to say at present. Perhaps it will be as well to | leave the question to the Minister and' his engineers." | Huntingdon Gleaner:â€"The Wieboldt Foundation has just completed a s#tudy of 10,062 children to see whether they preferred books to movies, or movies to games. It was found that the average child attended the movies once or twice a week, and that childâ€" ren went to the movies more frequentâ€" ly if they were not members of the Boy Scouts or Girl Guides. The Scouts and Guides like their games better Blairmore â€" (Alberta) â€" Enterprize:â€" Even the Eskimos are said to be sufâ€" fering from jazz. than the movies. It was also found that most children preferred movies to In discussion the proposed road from North Bay to Temiskaming, The New Liskeard Speaker last week said :â€" In a discussion of an article in The Advance in regard to the proposed road from North Bay to Temiskaming, The New Liskeard Speaker hits the nail on | the head when it urges the Government "to build roads to promote settlement of our farm lands and thus encourage farmers to settle here." To this, The Advance would add the thought of "encouraging the settlers to stay on the land they have taken up." Right in this district there are a number of settlers who have been practically forced off their homesteads because of the apparent impossibility of success . without roads to accommodate them. After the roads for settlers are built, and the belt line of roads completed,' there are no doubt many other roadâ€" | ways that will be of advantage to the North. At present the roads for settâ€"| lers and the belt line of roads should take precedence over all other roadâ€" building in this North Land. | As The Advance has repeatedly uvrged for many years past the great need of this North Land is for roads. And among the roads needed The Adâ€" vance sets roads for settlers as first and foremost. The Advance is an arâ€" gent advocate of the belt line of roads for this North, but except so far as this belt line of roads would mean roads for the settlers, would even hold back the completion of the belt line of roads until such time as roads for the settlers are put in, thait is, of course, uni#ss both can be done. The Advance believes the sensible and economical idea would be to build both roads for the settlers and the beit line of roads at once. Roads for Settlers the Big Need of This North At the municipal nominations at Englehart last week there were three nominated for the mayor‘s chair, these three being H. Weeks, D. Korman and H. N. Willlams. Messrs Weeks and Korman withdrew, leaving H. N. Wilâ€" liams elected mayor for 1930 by acclaâ€" mation. The 1929 council was reâ€"electâ€" ed for 1930 as follows:â€"Councillors Errett, Neal, Vernon, Clark, Seo‘it anm Woollings. Throughout the North Land there will be general regret that H. Weeks is no longer mayor of Englehart. Engleâ€" hart will not seem the same to the general public, though the new mayor may be ever so competent. For four years Mayor Weeks has been a very pleasing ‘"insti‘ution" in Englehart. Able and genial he has kept Englehart to the front at all times and always in agreeable way. He has ability, pubâ€" lic spirit and good humor, and the courage of his convictions, so Englehart is ceriainly the loser by the rotirement from mun‘cipal politics of Mr. Weeks. Sudbury Star:â€"The science of proâ€" fanity is convar‘ly on the march. The Heard Tribune of New York points that to call a limb a leg was indelicate once; and in France the height of cusâ€" sing a fellow is to call him a cow. The Herald Tribuns should spend some time in the lumber woods. TOWN OF ENGLEHART HAS NEW MAYOR FOR NEW YEAR Yours truly, ; HARRY DUNDAS Now, it would appear that all that remains is for Mr. Thomas to personâ€" ally confer with Mr. Dundas, arrange details as to the charity to be benefitâ€" ted and other particulars, such 2s the deaite, place of the bou!ls, etc. As Mr. Thomas has been so generous in leaving the fight to any promoter, and to any referee, I also wish to acâ€" cept his challenge under the following conditions:â€"that the fight is staged in Mr. Thomas‘ home town of South Porcupine, that Mr. Thomas pick the date and make all arrangements for a ten, threeâ€"minute round figlit beâ€" tween Mr. Thomas and myself. As the proceeds are liable to be very small from such a match, and charity thereâ€" fore benefit very little, I will personalâ€" ly donate $50.00 to charity when the aboveâ€"mentioned match is brought to a conclusion. Thanking you in advance to sive the same publicity to my acceptance, as to Mr. Thomas‘ challenge, and wishing you the compliments of the New Year, Mr. Joe Thomas, of South Porcupine, to meet me in an eight or ten round bout in the town of Timmins between January Tth and February 15th, and proceeds of fight to go to charity.
