BUILD BOTH HIGHWAYS AND ROADS FOR THE SETTLERS Roads for Settlers and Transâ€"Canada Highway Cost Less Than the Lake Superior Route Alone, Work on Highway Should be Started at Once. Some weeks ago The Advance reâ€" ceived a letter from a settler in regard to the appropriations spent for roads in the North. The Advance pointed out then that the proper procedure seerged to be to thank the Government for the settlers‘ roads built this year and to press for more. The idea that The Adâ€" vance has held all along has been that both highways and roads for settlers in this North should be built and that in fact there is more chance of getting both than securing the roads for settâ€" lers alone. This is due to the attitude of the people in the south who do not realize the real need for roads for ééiilcrs. They do not understand conâ€" ditions in this country and it is almost impossible for them to visualize the You needn‘t be afraid of the biggest washing e situation of the settler in this North. This fact was emphasized by Mr. E. Wharton Shaw who plans a Transâ€" Canada motor trip in 1931, going by way of Cochrane. He says that the people of the south are inclined to favour the route by way of the north shore of Lake Superior because they think it has scenic advantages. The fact that the other route would open up agricultural land and help the settlers by giving them access to markets does not appeal to the people of the south in their present state of lack of inforâ€" mation and misunderstanding of conâ€" ditions so far as the settlers are conâ€" cerned. As another example of this atâ€" titude it may be pointed out again that it would have been hopeless to expect that the people would have approved the exnenditure of three or four million dollars for settlers‘ roads in Temiskaâ€" ming and Cochrane within two or three years‘ time, yet the Ferguson highway was approved and it has provided roads for many settlers, while branch roads to connect up with the highway have also been obtained without undue opâ€" position. The Ferguson highway apâ€" pealed to the imagination of the people of the south and has done much to centre favourable attention on this North. The money spent on the Ferguâ€" M LCE T TT son highway, instead of being all taken from that possibly available for settlers‘ l roads has helped to make it easier to secure money for other settlers‘ roads, while the highway itself is a considerâ€" able stretch ofroads for settlers. The Advance would as a matter of fact have preferred to see all the roads for settâ€" lers that are necessary built before | hnighways were undertaken, but such an idea was recognized as absolutely imâ€" practical. Anyone who feels that way might as well forget about it. To conâ€" demn the highway would have been worse than foolish. There was no doubt but that it was needed, and badly needed. There was no doubt but that directly and indirectly any money spent on it would prove a profitable investment. Also it promised to prove and has proved of great value and adâ€" vantage to settlers. The argument of The Advance was, and is, that BOTH roads for settlers and highways in this North should be built and will be built. The results have proven this to be true. To oppose the building of a highway or highways is no service to the settlers. It is simply rousing unnecessary OppOâ€" sition. The people who properiy are asking for highways will naturally opâ€" pose roads for settlers if it is argued that the two are impossible. The proâ€" per attitude seems to be to consider the matter from all angles and with the progress of the country generally in mind. From such a viewpoint it seems necessary that all should coâ€"operate to secure both highways for the North | Pay Only 00 down THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO sSUGGESTS WAR TANKS FOR CLEARING FOR ROAD WORK i | The Northern Tribuns, of Kapuskaâ€" sing, recently made this suggestion in its â€" editorial _ columns:â€"*"‘Pacetiously (having seen war tanks and projectiles in action) we have wondered what kind of a job the tank corps and the artillery would make of crashing a pathway through from Hearst to Sioux Lookout, to be followed up by the road makers. How would the large tanks make out, bumping over standing trees and alligatoring over other obstrucâ€" tions? It could be done alright, and speedily, if there were virtue in pursuâ€" ing such a method. Put the job up to Canada‘s war veterans and they would get a great kick out of making the trip through and blazing a national trail; and it would be great a triumph of peace instead of a war saturnalia." SETTLER LOSES APPEAL AGAINST MINING COURT Echoss of a case tried before Mr. Justice Godson, in Mining Court at Haileybury some time ago, were heard in Osgoode Hall recently, when T. Olsen, Pacaud township settler, carried an appeal to a higher court on his lordâ€" shipn‘s disposition of an action for damâ€" ages brought by him against the Barry Hollinger Mines, Limited. He lost the appeal. Olsen had sued the company alleging that pollution of a stream by the depositing in the creek of tailings by the Barry Hollinger had interfered with his water supply. He was awardâ€" ed $1,380 damages, but when he took an appeal to the First Divisional Court at Toronto ,their lordships held that no appeal lies and therefore dismissed the case with costs. Olsen thought he was entitled to an increase of the amount of damages. and roads for settlers What applies to the consideration of the Ferguson highway applies equally to the question of the Transâ€"Canada highway. The building of the necesâ€" sary links to complete the Transâ€"Canâ€" ada highway will make it easier to seâ€" cure more roads for settlers. If the proper route is chosen for the Transâ€" Canada highway that roadway itself will prove a material addition to "roads for settlers." Still further will it increase the notice given the North and the attention to the demand for roads for settlers as feeders for the highway. i I l | l i | g \ i 1 In commenting editorially on "We have this week a letter from a settler of this district who complains that too large a portion of the Northâ€" ern Development funds have been and are being used to construct trunk CAC l is now matter last week, The Northern Triâ€" bune said :â€" provin largely Kirkla ey; Bi Perry, Bowse charte roads, while oftâ€"promised settlers‘ roads | other are still in abeyance. His letter speaks for itself. The Northern Tribune has already arranged to secure presently some statistiecs"6of the actual road work done in North Cochrane in 1930, and CHAR F Last when these figures are available A | Sandr checkâ€"up can be made. Our friend can j and C not of course expect a reply in any | trial c form from government officials to his pcolitical suggestions; these are open for consideration by our readers, and may be further discussed in our columns at their pleasure. "Now it must be admitted that the trunk roads have been in the limelight racently, and not much has been heard ~f settlers‘ roads. This does not nceâ€" sessarily mean that the actual conâ€" <truction of the latter has been deferrâ€" ed, but the public attenition has been fccussed on main highways. A little reflection will convince anyonte that this position of affairs could: not be avoided, in this district, without disasâ€" trous results to the whole clay belt. It hnas taken a vast amount of political ard nonâ€"political propaganda to force the transâ€"Canada highway into the realm of practical politics; and when it was perfectly obvious at the very outset into the matter of its route through Ontario would be in contention, it beâ€" came a matter of selfâ€"defence to keep of an of: ‘th into t last f drelli under presel claim horse claim price man stated price at the and â€" mont FIRXE At train { more the advantages of the routing through | freig] ‘ne fertile clay belt to the fore. The protagionists of every alternative route «o far suggested were in much better position than the advocates of the Norâ€" ‘thern route to get consideration of their pleas, so it was vital to incessantly draw attention to the fact that the passing of the transâ€"Canada highway through this great area, capable of susâ€" taining a very large agricultural and inâ€" dustrial population, literally meant milâ€" lions of dollars to the district as a whole and would affect the welfare of every resident. We trust our rural friends will see that this situation concerned thnem as much as anyone else in these parts, and that the fight for the transâ€" Canada highway could not be avoided without irreparable loss to them as to the rest of us. Furthermore, it was not of our choosing; we either had to assert our rightful and superior claims to the national road or let it go by default to the districts which asked for it to traâ€" verse their sections. It has a very dirâ€" ect bearing on the value of every settâ€" lers‘ lot near to where is passes, and when built through will lend weight to the demand for necessary side roads for settiers.

The national highway chosen now, having regard to repreâ€" sentations made; it is good business for us all in this section of the North to pull together and convince the governâ€" ments that the transâ€"Canada highway section, pius every needed settlers‘ road, E:f;fi be'l;uilt for a much less sum than the highway alone would cost if placed through the Superior rockery." editorially on the The Northern Triâ€" To Hold Investigation On Mine Tax Question The Northern News last week saysâ€"â€" "A hopeful sign is given to mining municipalities in Northern Ontario that one of their municipal evils will be‘ remedied to a certain extent by the visit in the near future of J. A. Ellis, chairman of the Ontario Municipal and Railway Board and Director of the Burâ€" eau of Municipal Affairs J. W. Mcâ€" Bain, clerk of Teck Township, has been informed that Mr. Ellis will arrive in Kirkland Lake on October 9th in conâ€" nection with a mining tax investigation by the provincial municiptil auditor. The assessment of profits in mining companies has long been a contentious point in mining towns and even as late as last spring a delegation went to Toronto to discuss the matter and consideration was promised. At the presâ€" ent time only one sixth of these taxes come back to the municipality two sixths to the provincial government and the balance to the Federal government. If an equality was established between the province and municipality, it would mean a healthy increase in taxation to the Township of Teck. "Legal right to assess the gross proâ€" fits from operations carried out in the organized municipalities in which the mining companies are engaged will be urged by representatives of the town of Cobalt and the Township of Coleâ€" man upon J. A. Ellis when he comes here on October 6 in his capacity as commissioner for the Ontario governâ€". ment to enquire into the subject ofi taxation of mines by municipalities. At present, the companies are permitâ€" ted to deduct from their profits the cost of developling other properties in Ontario, but it is contended here that this practice is unfair to the municipalâ€" ities in which the major operations are carried on and where the profits are made. Mr. Ellis is to visit all of the mining camps situated in organized municipalities in the course of his surâ€" vey, inwhich he is to have the assistâ€" ance of Professor G. R. Mickle, the provincial mine assessor. A joint meeting of the council and officials of Cobalt and Coleman Township will be arranged when Mr. Ellis will be preâ€" sent." KIRKLAND LAKE NOW HAS GUN CLUB ESTABLISHED Kirkland Lake sportsmen recently organized a gun club, and the new club is now well away to a good start. It is proving very popular and is being largely attended. The president of the Kirkland Lake Gun Club is Bill Devenâ€" ey; Bill Rogers is viceâ€" â€"president, Jack Perry, secretaryâ€"treasurer; and Gar Bowser, field captain. There was a charter membership of about 20, with other names being added right along. CHARLES SANDRELLI, NORTH BAY, COMMITTED FOR TRIAL Last week at North Bay Charles: Sandrelli, well known in that town and district, was committed to stand trial on a charge of perjury arising out of an enquiry held by a representative of the Ontario Fire Marshall‘s office into the fire at the Dufferin race track last fall when a horse owned by Sanâ€" drelli was destroyed. In his evidence underâ€"oath to the Fire Marshal‘s reâ€" presentative Sandrelli is said to have claimed that he paid $2,500.00 for the horse while the Fire Marshal‘s office claims to have information that the price was really only $1,100.00. The man who sold the horse to Sandrelli stated at the preliminary trial that the price was $1,000), this being isettled at the time by«â€"a cash payment of $100 and a note for $1,000.00 due in S1x months. FIRE IN HOUSE AND TRAIN WRECKED AT HAILEYBURY At Haileybury last week there was | house destroyed by fire and also a* wrecked, the two incidents be'mgl more or less associated. A northbound . freight train had just entered the yards at Haileybury when the engineer noâ€" ticed the old Swedish church, now used as a residence by Mrs. Lapierre and three daughters was on fire. He sounded the whistle as an alarm and at the same time the brakeman ran to the burning house to notify the occuâ€" pants. It was while the brakeman was away on this errand that the wreck ocâ€" curred to the freight train. The acciâ€" dent to the freight is said to have 0¢â€" curred when an auxiliary on its way north left the rails and turned over, hitting the switch and dragging part of the train off the rails As is the custom with the T. N. O. wrecks no one was injured, and as the accident happened in the early morning, and also because the line is doubleâ€"tracked at the section where the wreck occurred there was little delay to traffic One of the cars that went off the track was carrying liquor, but this had nothâ€" ing to do with the cause of the wreck. "i‘he burning house was located in Bucke township and by the time the fire brigade reached it phe building was a mass of flames. At first it was fearâ€" ed there might be occupants in the house who had been unable to get out, but the fear was dissipated when it was learned that Mrs. Lapierre and daughters were spending the night at North Cobalt. The home and most of the contents were a total loss. The old church, recently converted into a awellâ€" ing, was one of the few buildings that escaped the big fire of 1922, and it was t i utwind E: an odd comxr(enta.ry on fate that it should be destroyed in a fire of this kind. Toronto Mail and Empfreâ€"Science now predicts that will beâ€" come a popular food, since, on cost basis, it contains seven times as much protein as roast beef. In fact, there is not much to say for roast beef except that people like to eat it. w 08 wath * Wl .2 w w e 94 s a 84 00:30’0‘:00%:033000000003090020200203 For further informatlon apply The Officers and Members of Moose Lodge 1658, Timmins, have completed arrangements and will hold A Mammoth Exhibition and Carnival IN THE SKATING RINK Something different and novel has been thought of in the way of giving a 1930 Ford Sedan away.
