Geo. W. Lee. Chairman of the T. 8: N. 0. commission. was a. vLsitor to Tim- mlns in January ten years ago. He expremed himself as optimistic as to the prospects of the North. especially after the completion of the extension north of Cochrane. The new line. he said. would mien up a country of great possibilides and very rich in such re- sources as pulpwood. timber. unherals. water powers. etc. to! say nothing of the chances for settlement and agri- culture. Regarding a report that the greater part of the labour for construc- tion of the line would be brought in from outside the province Mr. Lee said there was no truth in the report. All the labour to bexemployed would be Ontario workers. only the heads or deportments coming with the contrac- tors {rom outside the province. On January. 23rd. 1922.

Morgan was the representative of Tisdale in the matter and he had interviewed the “mayor. Dr. McInnis told Mr. Morgan to learn the exact attitude of the mines on the question. Timmins would have to enlarge its water main service, the mayor said. and it was possible that this could be accomplished most econ- omically by joining» with the township and the mines, prOVided a suitable agreement were possible.

Jan. 20th. 1922, the office of John W. chg in Moneta was discovered to be on fire. Before the blaze was noticed it had a good start and water not being available the building was soon beyond hone of saving. The fine office build- ing and contents were destroyed, the fire having made such progress that it was impossible to get inside to save anything. The loss was a very heavy one, the burning of the books. accounts. etc, or the Fogg Timber and Contract- ;lng Co., and the John Fogg businesses being an especial \loss. Among the items lost by the fire were several sets of golf sticks left at the office by play- ers coming from the course. B. A. Bra- dy, accountant. had desk room in the offices and he also suffered the loss of inventories and other documents that tntailed mnch inconvenience and loss. Although the building was outside the town limits then. the Timmins fire bri- grade turned out, and by the use of the ‘ chemical tanks, helped fight the fire.‘ On account of the location of the build- ing it was impossible to connect withl any of the town hydrants. The stair. The Province of Ontario is the wealthiest and most populous Province in the Dominion of Canada. Abundance of water powers, excellent railroad and highway transportation facilities and a plentiful supply of raw materials have fostered a steady expansion both industrially and commercially. Ontario leads in mineral production, and in the volume of manufactured products; it ranks first in' value of field crops and second in the value of forest products.- PRICE : Durin :11. 202 55 5, 000, 000 $1. ’,0 000, 000 We offer these Debentures, if. as and when issued and accepted by us. and subject to approval of Counsel his 6: { For the 1935 blaturity 100 and accrued interest, to yield 6. 00%.

The appeal is made to those who are loyal to the “Prince of Peace," but since Gandhi is now turning to the Christian Bible in the interests of his faction. he may be reminded of the passage con- demning those who cry peace where them is no peace. If it is peace that Gandhi wants he can have it for the asking.
