Pioneering is Not Yet Ended In This Great North Country As noted previously in these columns, all the North Land should hold special interest in the new country being deâ€" veloped north of /Cochrane. It means much to the wh/ole North and to all Ontario. Also it is interesting to have different viewpoints on it. The Adâ€" vance has published several articles on the Abitibi Canyon country, the coal fields and other sections of the area north of Cochrane. Herewith The Adâ€" vance is presenting an article by a Toâ€" ronto newspaperman, A. D. Kean who was one of the party recently visiting Albitibi Canyon and other places of inâ€" terest as the guests of the Abitibi Powâ€" er Paprer Co. Mr. Kean writes as follows:â€" The days of pioneering and the ways of frontiersmen are not yet departed from Ontario. In her north there is a land wherein the call of the wilderness the shout of the timberâ€"faller, and the courageous urge of the sodâ€"breaker may still be heardâ€"where once again the tuneful ring of axe and crosscut saw mingles with the roar of rushing torâ€" rents, the distant call of the lonely wolfâ€"yes, and the staccato notes of a motor‘s exhaust, the hoarser rumblâ€" ings of laden freight trains. That paradise the writer had the privilege of visiting the other day. I was one of a score of news writâ€" ers, who journeyed into New Ontario for the purpose of a closeâ€"up examinaâ€" tion of the agricultural, timber and power resources of the Clay Belt. "Abitibil Abitibil Abitibi cayon!" the wheels of the Pullman seemed clicking away in monotonous rhythm as our train travelled northward over the T. N. O. railway, destined soon to reach the James Bay hinterland. On either side were fields of freshâ€" cleared meadow and dark patches of sprucé and balsam, with now and again a lumpid stream over which came ho!â€" lowâ€"sounding echoes as whirling steel wheels reverberated from the low wooden bridges. Here a guides his heavy team down gleaming darkâ€"loam furâ€" rows. There a new cabin rose log by log. Yonder a thin line of clearing denoted the beginnings of ancother homsstead, while the level fields beâ€" side the railway showed bright with the green of timothy or winter wheat. "Better subsoil than the PFoothills country, and just as easy to clear," exclaimed one oldâ€"timer who had seen the northwest prairies rise to fame. "Earlier seeding time than most of Saskatchewan," put in Mont;eal ediâ€" tor. "I‘ve just come east and the crops out there are not so far advanced as the ones here." "Abitibi Canyon is on the same parallel north of the equator as Winâ€" nineg," offered L. V. Rorke, deputy mninister of lands and forests for Onâ€" tario, "and we‘re all of 200 miles south cf the canyon yet. This Clay Belt country grows just as good hard wheat as the ‘best from the prairies, too. Besides, the winters up here in the timber land are not so severe as those THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO } 1182 Hs told of the dearth of furs of late years, of how the last great rabbit cyâ€" cle had passed in 1925 and of the horde of foxes and bobâ€"cats (lynx) which followed. After the whirring wingbeat of a spruceâ€"grouse, he told of the flucâ€" tuating rilenty of these and other birds ; in the North. 1 "De leetle black grouse she‘s not of the plains, and greater protection is afforded from winds." "Three pulp and paper companies provide immediate local market for that same timber," declared Alex Deâ€" war, in charge of the tour of the Abitiâ€" bi Power and Paper Co. "We stress that point at every chance. It is in the best interests of our own timber reserves as well as an inducement to the settler to cut his spruce in season." "There‘s more than 2,600,000 acres of excellent farming land in the Teâ€" miskaming and Cochrane areas," cut in the deputy minister again. _ ‘"Most of it is positively cerying for men to file upon it and to build up homes." Here amare found thousands upon thousands of acres of clayâ€"loam soil whose depth and favourable situation with resprct to moisture ensure its permanent value for farming. I could not help but conitrast it with those arid reaches of upland desert where hordes of settlers tried vainly to dryâ€"farm in the rimâ€"rock country of the Columbia river, Washington, or the sandâ€"blown irrigated wastes of Bastern Oregon and with thousands of square miles of the intermountain plateaux of Idaho and Montana. All of these I had seen stampeded for by homeâ€"hungry settlers, who for a time prospered, but whose intensive farming methods soon depleted the shallow soil causing whole communities to desert the wornâ€"out lands. » some difference between the preâ€" dicament of those old York pioneers and the situation which confronts New Ontario homesteaders of today with railroads at their dooryard, almost, and with a splendid northâ€"south highway to tay) the sideâ€"line districts. I turned to Alex Dewar again. "How lons have you known this north country?" I asked. "For more than 25 years," I replied. "I‘ve tramped and camped on nearly every river that flows into James and Hannah Bays." In connection with this power, it was learned that the provincial govâ€" ernment was to spend approximately $3,500,000 in building transmission lines for carrying the power for which it had contracted. At the Fraserdale siding we all changed into topped boots in preparâ€" ation for the three and oneâ€"half mile hike to the engineers‘ camp at Abitibi Canyon. Here it was my good fortune to meet a Frenchâ€"Cree packer, sent out with Bob Reidâ€"oldâ€"time employee of the companyâ€"to meet the party and carry in cour excess duffie. As I eyed the swarthyâ€"faced and darkâ€"eyed breed adâ€" justing the tumpâ€"line of his 100â€"pound load across his forehead, I decided here was a character, perhaps, who could tell me about the country and its ways and people. So I followed closcly in his wake. "What do you know about crops in all that time?" It has splendid schools, hospital, nine churches, three banks, eigh: hotels, 37 stores and weekly newsâ€" paperâ€"The Northland Post. "We boast of a brand new golf course," said Mayor Mitchell. "But our greatest claim to fame is our nearness to Ontario‘s only seaport, which we expect to be able to reach by rail withâ€" in this coming year." At Cochrane our car was coupled on to a lengthy construction train, which hauled us slowly northward to Fraserdale, whence we were sideâ€" tracked pending return from the two days‘ visit to Abitibi Canyon and the proposed power site. $ The latter is already surveyed anc planned to cost $23,000,000. Here will be developed the 275,000 electric horseâ€" power which the Hudson Bay Power Co. is to produce for the Abitibi Powâ€" er and Paper Co. and for the Ontario Hydro Commission, the latter having contracted for 100,000 horespower to mesot the mining and other commercial needs of the Sudbury district. At Birch Lake, just before reaching our railway destination, we a few minutes at the farthest north comâ€" munity settlement in Ontario. Here a handful of former Bruce county farâ€" mers have made great strides in subâ€" duing the wildeeness. "Never knew a failure where a farâ€" mer adopted proper seasonal methods and sowed the kind of wheat and other seeds that were suited to the climate and soil. But the mainâ€"stay of the country side will be hay, dairy products, stock and hard wheat. None of these will ever let the intelligent farmer down, and all can be produced successâ€" fully as far north as the Clay Belt exâ€" tends." The town, which has a population of nearly 4,000, owns its own electric light, ppower, telephone and water sysâ€" We rolled intoâ€"Cochrane about that time and were met at the station by a delegaion of the local board of trade and by Mayor R. R. Mitchell. At the first "stage," after twenty minutes of packing, he swung his heavy load from his forehead by an adroit f1lip of the tumpâ€"strap and began to talk to me. many now," he lamented. "In 1927 come high waterâ€"dat filood dem outâ€" mebbe come back this yearâ€"I diunno." "But wild goose an‘ duckâ€"oui!l oui! â€"<ho‘s plenty all tam on Hannah Bay. Wen day fly, sky she‘s fill like wild thunder. Dis railroad she‘s bring plentyâ€"what you calk ‘em?â€"tourists wid de gun for shoot ‘em next year.", We trudged along the soggy trail through the deepening shadows of the thick spruce forest for another twenty minutes or so. From distance I could hear the rumbling tones of falling water. "Is the Abitibi yonder?" and I pointed inâ€" to the void of darkness to eastward and below. It was fully two hours after sunset and yet the sky was pink above with longz, pale streamers of waning light casting everâ€"changing illuminations across the zenith. Finally we halted at a height of land beside a widening stretch of gloomy chasm. "Dat‘s saugain," replied the guide. "My mudder she‘s drown in beeg waâ€" watin (eddy) at keewagin (camp) in the foot of canyon. "She‘s six an‘ we mak‘ prool, where spear. "Here," and my companion rose, "I take you to spot where you can see all for yourself." A moment more and we came to the edge of the trees overlooking many miles of the great low plain 0: the Abitibi river. ‘Over dar is seeble (river)," said the guide, indicating the silvery strip of whiteness which wound away northward amid the inky black forests. "My mudderâ€"she‘s Creeâ€"is bufied down by the beeg poolâ€"an‘ pere, too." Next day was spent with the enâ€" gineers in visiting the canyon area and the dam site. From the temporary suspension bridge, which hangs 160 feet above the spot where the 1,000â€"foot concrete walls of the main dam will rise to a height of 260 feet above the bed of the ragâ€" ing river, we viewed the stretches oi white water that roared down the highâ€"walled canyon. Alex Moffatt, resident engineer in charge, gave us the details of the structure that is to be compileted withâ€" in a yeatr. (From The Perth Expositor) The ineffectiveness of the schedule of countervailing duties to meet hostile trade restrictions against Canadian goods is the latest feature of the Dunâ€" ning budget to be thoroughly underâ€" stood. There are 1188 items in our tariff schedules and of these only 16 are placed in the countervailing secâ€" tion. Again, it is to be remembered, thesse countervailing duties apply to identical items. That is, if the Unitâ€" ed, States raised its tariff against our wheat, our tariff against United States vwheat automatically goes to the same height. The futility of that procedure is selfâ€"evident. In commodities of which we are large exporters we are not large importers. That is clearly indicated by the official trade returns for 1929 which disclose the fact that if we absolutely prohibited the imporâ€" tation from the United States of every item of the counteorvailing schedâ€" ules we would reduce our imports by less than $15,000,000 or approximately by 1% per cent. of the $893,000,000 worth of goods which we brought from the United States last year. The practiâ€" cal effect of the countervailing schedâ€" ule was aptly described by Hon. H. H. Stevens who said that it was just a small boy sticking his tongue out at someone who annoyed him. "A 600â€"foot escape tunnel will be driven through the western bluff at riveor level," he began. "Through this, 150,000 cubic feet of water per second will pass until the dam walls are comâ€" plete. A series of cofferâ€"dams will be extended into the river directly below this suspension bridge to protect 1,000 workmen who will be employed upon the main foundation. The ttp of the dam will be 80 feet higher than where we now stand and its crest from ‘bank to bank will measure something more than half a mile. "The flooded area above the dam will be nine miles long and 240 feet dsep in places. More than 1,000 acres of forest will be covered by the waters. To begin with, four turbines will be inâ€" stalled. These will develop 275,000 electric horsepower. The construction plans allow for further installation up to eight turbines, enabling a maximum production of a@pproximately 376,000 h.p."
