There is no reason to compromise about this, no sensible basis for it. We hear much about the great Angioâ€"Saxon trait and genius for compromiss, as being the bulwark of the British Empire. That is in a measure of the humâ€" drum dayâ€"byâ€"day mediocre developâ€" ments that move leisurely toward deâ€"| cision; but we rise to remark that the| highâ€"lights of British history had their rcc‘ts in John Bull‘s resolute declinaâ€" :‘ion of compromise when testing timei came.

There, toc, it became scmething of a tugâ€"ofâ€" war betewsen those who arguedtha: American tourist traffic must be caterâ€" ed to above everything else by a highâ€" way close to the international boundâ€" ary, and cthers who contended ithat the present and future interests of Manitoba and Canada demanded a highway practically straight eastward from Winnim»g to the Ontario boundâ€" ary. Sound Canadianism won this and now it is found that Ameriâ€" can tourists are flocking in thousands over this short new stretch of road without outlet. New settlers have gone in along the thoroughfare, land values have increased, the whole of easlern Manitoba has experienced benefits thus far, and anticipates many more when the road is continued straight eastâ€" ward through Northern Ontario until Canada possesses in actual fact a IY Dul i nignWay , d gCilC i editorial in The NC f Kapuskasing, says ) Hudson Bay ports v vance has been a cons.:s.¢nt of the present use cf the Ferâ€" rhway as part of the transâ€" ighway route, the road to be from Cochrane to Hearst and u‘thwesterly.

Build the road fron Kensgra to Port Arthur, and wiiz4 the Americian cars which have come up to Winnipeg and turned eas. <>5>t back into the States! Our valued friend of Beausejour, Manitoba, Mr. W. Child2, has pointed out in our columns that train joumney through the Lake Superior region (where every comfort is provided for itravellers) is utterly wearisomeâ€"as we have found it to be. Thon how about a motorist who has to drive his car through isolation and danger, through fog, chill wind and rattlesnakes? He doesn‘t want scenery on those terms; he will buy it in bock and itake it as read. "Nakina, locked in with but saveral miles of road, is buying cars and reâ€" ports a goodly annual visitation of American tourists there, who are keen for access and egress by motor and would bring many friends. Hearst is but now getting a road outlet; it has had American visitors for years who go to unrivalled angling nooks nearby, and who:e numbers would increase manyâ€" | fold if they could come and go by car. Sioux Lookout, also shut in, has a large American summer colony every sumâ€" mer. The smallest hamlet along the transzcontinental has its annual friends from across the border. Build a | straight Canadian road for Canadians, and sprinkle Canadian setJlers along ‘t. and there will verily be no complaint of a dearth of American tourists to use it. As for loop routes thereafter, the provinces wouid be forced to rapidly build not one but several. From Sault Ste. Marie to Hearst, and from Sudbury via Timmins to Smooth Rock Falls or Kapuskasing, are two to keep in mind. "Where there‘s a will there‘s a highâ€" way, and if we get the political kinks of our convolutions and do some straight Canadian thinking we will all pull unitedly for cheap, straight, short, eacily and quickly built transâ€" Canada highway into Winnipeg." Sentence of One Year in Steamship Ticket Case At Haileybury last week a jury reâ€" turned a verdict of guilty in the case of W. B. Nicholson, formerly of Kirkâ€" land Lake, who was charged with the theft of $287.20 from the Canadian Pacific Steamships, Ltd. His Honour Judge Hartman concurred in the findâ€" ing of the jury and imposed a sentence of one year‘s imprisonment in the disâ€" trict jail. The charge arose from transaction in which two Welshmen purchased tickets to revisit their old home. THhe case is nearly two years old. A jury at the December, 1929, sesâ€" sions disagreed and two postponeâ€" ments were necessary since that time. The evidence by the Crown showed that Nicholson, who was a "nonâ€"ticketâ€"holdâ€" ing agent" of the company, in 1929 had been paid $351.20 to cover the costs of steamship and railroad tickets for the two men. Nicholson made a deposit of $40.00 with the company but according to the evidence of M. J. Dunn, travellâ€" ing passenger agent of the C. P. R., Nicholson admitted to him that he had lost the balance of the money. Nicholâ€" son was entitled to a commission Of $24.00 and this amount and the deposit of $40.00 were credited to the accused by the company and taken from the total amount received. Nicholson was unable to raise the balance due. After some delay the C.FPR., when the facts of the matter were investigated, gave the two men the tickets they had paid for. R. D. Cumming apyceared as counâ€" sel for the defence and claimed the charge should not have been laid under the criminal code, but that there should have been civil action to recover, as hse held "the whole tenor of the documents tends to show that the relation beâ€" tween the parties was that of debtor and creditor." It was simply a civil case, Mr. Cumming argued, and hs asked that it be withdrawn from the jury. The judge overâ€"ruled this. Acâ€" cused did not take the stand in his own defence, nor were any witnesses called on his behalf by his counsel. F. L. Smiley, Crown Attorney, conducted the prosecution Toronto Mail and Empire:â€"Spain is said to be willing to admit Trotsky and is probably the only country in the world that would prefer him to Alfonzo. national highâ€" "HE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO Report Natural Gas Found Near Sault Despatches last week from Sault Ste. Marie say that convinced that they have discovered the source of unlimited quantities of natural gas in Seciions 3 and 4, Pennefather township, on the Goulais Bay shore of Lake Superior. Edward Jackson and William Lynch of the Sault, are now awaiting instrucâ€" ticns from Richard J. Loewenthal, of the Loewenthal Securitiee Company, Chicago, who owns the property upon which the find was made, as to how they will proceed in the matter. Two tests of the gas have been made by Fuel Testing Laboratories, Ottawa, and the last one particularly is very enccuraging. It shows 50 p.c. gas, Mr. Jackson told the Star recently, which is equal to 500 British Terminal Units per cubic foot. The samples were from the surface, and were sent to Ottawa in bottles. Messrs Jackson and Lynch have accepted an agreement for 30 p.c. nonâ€"assessable interest in the find after development expenses have been met. Chances are Good That Effort May be Made at an Early Date to Develop Property on Goulais Bay. The discoverers of the gas say they lcoked for it after the geological formaâ€" tion in the area convinced them <hat it was there. They could see the gas bubbles coming up thrcugh the water, and on a calm day a match applied to these bubbles produced an explosion and a blue fiame four inches long. These bubbles, they said, could be seen in an area "a block long," and they have information that the formation in which they are found exists over 134 miles in this country, east and west from the Sault, and that it breaks out again in Manitoba. Drilling for oil and gas is taking place in Lake Ontario now, they say, where conditions similar to those at Goulsis Bay were found. On ‘he Manitoulin farmers are using sil sccured on the surface to grease thoeir machinery. When Jackson and Lynch became c:nvinced that gas existed on the proâ€" party they had the tests made last year, and they were so encouraging that Loeâ€" wenthal was notified . Loewenthal imâ€" mediately took the matter up with his solicitor in Sault Ste. Marie and will act on his advice in the matter. Music Exams. at the Grey Nuns‘ Convent Examinations Conducted by J.

Fine followed and in a happy speech assured the guests and members of the hearty welcome which they would receive from the township of Calvert on whose behalf he was speaking. "In a speech sparkling with wit and which delighted his audience, Joe Braâ€" detie, M.P. for North Temiskaming, reâ€" sponded to the toast to the visitors which the two mayors had proposed. He stressed the importance of such orâ€" ganizations as the Motor League in helping to supply the need for publiciâ€" ty which was created by the lack of a daily parer in the North. The ignorâ€" ance of the South regarding the condiâ€" tions and potentialities of the North had to be removed and the Motor Club was doing a great deal to remove it. He cited the advantages of the northâ€" ern route for the transâ€"Canada highâ€" way and in conclusion stated lthat from a political standpoint some compromise was essential and he urged a conferâ€" ence betwesn the interested groups. "Before calling upon the next speakâ€" er the chairman asked for and obtained a unanimous motion of regre: for the unavailable absence of Hon. W.F. Finâ€" layson. After this T. E. Silver in a well considered speech proposed toast to the Northern Development branch. Mr. Silver stated that it did not seem too much for the residents of the North to demand and expect roads upon which they could travel with reasonable comfort. "A F. Kenning, ML,A., responded to the toast at some length and with a wealth of statig:ical detail. It was inâ€" teresting to hear in view of the wide spread unemployment and hardship of the winter that the Development Branch had been the means of assistâ€", ing to a living about 40,000 people durâ€" ing the winter. Regarding the highâ€" way the speaker sulzgested that an aerial survey be made to discover the actual condition sof the rival routes. "F. E. Wood who followed with toast ‘to the Ontario Motor League was in happy vein and filled out the deâ€" tails of a trip to Kapuskasing last year which had been touched upon by Mr. Bradette and the chairman. Before speakinz of the value of association w‘h the Ma:or Leagus, Mr. Wood handed the general manager and secreâ€" taryâ€"treasurer, W. G.

"Referring to the fact that in the reâ€" venue derived from U.S. motor tourist traffic was a net profit annually in highways, be asked if such dividends did not indicate !the desirability of a still larger investment in gosd roads. He concluded by reviewing some of the major activities and services of the Motor League. "F. K. Ebbitt moved the votse of thanks to (he ladies whose collaboraâ€" tion had made the event such an outâ€" standing success." . Miss C. Craig visited in Kirkland Lake last week. A local man speaking recontly of Russia said jokingly that he did nct know that Russia ever exported anyâ€" thing much anywhere in olden times except Russian caviar, which was conâ€" sidered a great delicacy by those who patronized highâ€"priced hotels and cafes. It is interesting to note that Canada is now producing caviar. Caâ€" viar, or prepared surgeon roe, is one of the annual products of Canada‘s fich‘nz industry, although the output is never large, according to the Fisherâ€" les News Bulletin, issued by the Desâ€" pariment of Fisheries, Ottawa. The chief production of caviar in Canada is in Orl ario, where the largest catches of sturgeon are made.
