The following despotch from North Bay will be read with a. great deal of interest by all concerned. Here is the item as given, out by the press:â€"-â€"The contracting firm of Angus and Taylor Ltd, "North Bay has been awarded a contract for the building of a trunk road from Moyneur’s, approximately .25 miles north of ‘Elk Lake. ‘to the ‘Ash- ley Mine, of the Mining Corporation properties, in the Matachewan gold fields. The await! was made in T)- ronto this week and the contractors will be on 'the ground early next week. The road will be a continuation o: the motor road extending from Elk 'Lake to ‘Mo'yneur's and will traverse Powell and Bannockburn townships, following a northerly and westerly course for a distance of 171; miles. It ‘will serve the various mining develop- ments and prospects along the route, including the Young-Davidson, “Mat- tine and Canadian ‘Matac‘hewan pro- per-ties on which considerable develop- ;ment has "been made. It will be ofmular width and gra; ‘vel surfaced. The Northern Develop- 'ment Branch built camps. and did other preliminary work along the route last winter. It is understood the contrac- tors figure on having the new exten- sion ready for traffic by early fall. When completed this road will pro- vide access to any of the important developments of the Matachewan area and facilitate the carrying through of «contemplated developments. Whih the completed road from ’Elk Lake to May- Contract Let‘ for the Road to the Ash'ley Mine wwvâ€"â€".â€"__ - mums, the 9.383. will be served by a route extending for a distance of ap- praxmxately 43 miles and tapping most of the mining promrties along the route. Mining companies and prospectors have been pressing for this road far their operations. The Elk Lake to Moynenr’s stretch served to bring about notable activity and it is believed the new extension will be the means of promoting greater development. Here- tufore. the improved moperties beyond the starting point of the exigension have had to rely on water routes to bring in supplies and workers. “MISKAIVHNG AND NORTHERN ONTARIO RAILWAY Train No. 17-â€"â€"North Bay to Moose- nee, leaves North Bay 10.00 am.

Jllt m We Wanted In referflni to the line “teatime and the splendid address at the that! meeting of the season of the Legion. and aha discussing the small atten- danws tn the put. one member re- markedzâ€"“You see the branch 13 now advertising the meetings in The Ad- mace and it §ure has pulled them out this time. Then as an added attraction we have had the fine address by the1 Colonelâ€"It sure is a. fine meeting and when they start next year, the officers went to keep these kind of meetings in mind." Yes, the old spirit is back again after those inspiring remarks of ”Col. W. H. Scarth. To be in an organ- ization of over a. million is something to be proud of, ”but one is prouder still when he learns that this number all lserved in the Empire forces. Touching on the address of Col. w H. Scarth it can be said that no learned more in one hour than we hate known since the visit of Col. Picking last year. Onei point not touched upon in last week‘s‘ account of the .meeting was the dis-‘ course on “Dissent-ion in our ranks"? Col. Scarth said “there is talk of thei Legion not being very good in the mat- ter of finances and that we were near- ly bankrupt. This was not correct, as in Ontario alone during the past year our membership has nearly doubled and new branches are forming up every weekâ€"Does that‘look as if we are go- ing broke," said the Colonel, amid cheers. He said that there was an or- ganization trying to break the rank and file of the Legion with these false statements. “Pay no attention to these. You belong to an Empire-wide organi- zation and not an organization for Canada alone. Our voice carries weight as we have a force behind it.” He went on to say that we should try hard to make every returned soldier a mem- ber of the British Empire Service League by asking him to join the Cana- dian Legion. Dealing with pension legislation he said that Canada to-«day, thanks to the Canadian Legion. had the finest legislation of its kind in the Empire. "It is the duty of every one of us to look after the widows and children." was another of the state- ments made. Other matters dealing with the unemployed members and also the work of the Canadian Legion in assisting in maintaining law and or- a treat. As Comrade Rowe said in moving the vote of thanks, “More ad- dresses of the kind just heard will fill the hall every time." The ofl‘ioers now have an idea. to work upon for our ac- tivities for next season and here's hop- Urge Employment ' Not Direct Relief der in â€" the Dominion wiere touched upon. Those who were absent missed Representative North Bay Men Urge Government to Continue Work on Trans-Canada Highway and to Take Up Other Work. The feeling is growing that the onl3 possible solution to the present condi- tions is through the pi aviding of em- ployment. The attempt to meet thd’ situation by any form of direct relief has proven a. failure. The plan of employment to give relief was saitl to be dropped because it was- too costly. If this is the fact. then direct relief has shown itself to be even more cost- ly. The case of Hearst proves the ut- ter futility of attempting to use direct iclief. In a. week from the time $500.00 was granted to Hearst for direct. ‘rellet in that small town another $500.00 was demanded. and since then the demands insist upon $1000.00 per week for relief in Hearst alone. For the small town this would mean $52,000.00 per year. In the same proportion all of Ontario would require at least $104,000,000.00. The amount of unemployment that would be relieved by Government work to the amount of $104,000.00000 would be great indeed. If the Ontario Gov- ernment will see that such an amount is spent in public works here during the next year, there won‘t be any un- employment in Ontario. In addition all lines of trade. commerce and the professions will profit from the outlay, and. further. the province will have something to show for the expenditure. 0n the other hand. if this ammnt, or any'amount, is spent in direct relief. the money will be gone and the pro- vince will not have a single dollar's worth to show for it. In view of these facts it is surprising that direct relief should be considered. The only thing liable to kick Old Man Depression is steady work. The Governments should study the matter further, and all should insist on employment, rather than doles. charity and direct relief. At North my last week there was a. meeting held in the Empire grill room to discuss unemployment. the depres- sion and other kindred matters. TwO resolutions were passed. The meeting included representatives of the council. the clergy of the city, the Lions. the Rotary Club. the baard of trade, the moer club. the Liberal and Conserva- tive associations, the city relief. the association of the unemployed of the city. and various other organizatitwns. The evening was spent in a general discussion relative to the unemploy- ment situation. with all men present participating. Mayor Richardson. in addressing the gathering. stated that the present situation was becoming too great {or the city fathers to handle alone. stressing the need for campers.- tion from all sides. and added that all thebstbrainsinthecity were needed. the Porcupine E The Canadian Legion in in; they will keep the spirit alive by acting accordingly.

The last time it was borrowed, Austin forgot to secure the man's name and the flag has never been returned. One comrade jokingly remarked that the "Reds have got it." If they'have, it will be a complete vic- tory for the Legion, because they will‘ see it is a much better flag than the Red one.

Special Train for Picnic As announced last week the date of ,the District Zone picnic has been "changed to Sunday, August 7th. It is ;desired that all who intend to take in this event; register their names at once. Any of the officers will take them.

Here's hop- vâ€"â€" __ ing the}. we; crowd the train for the District Zone picnic at Meeda. Lake on Sunday, August 7th. One of the resolutions, both of which were carried unanimously, moved that the city council be requested to urge upon the Dominion and Provincial Governments the continuation of the Trans-Canada highway with the reâ€" opening of the Temiskaming highway and the construction of spillways at the French River as necessary public works to help meet the growing un- employment in this section with the attendant distress and dangers. And .that the governments be advised that the citizens of North Bay intended to supplement direct relief efforts by a Ifurther campaign for local subscrip- f tions. The other resolution urged that the governments. Federal and Provincial, deveIOp at once a system of land set- tlement as an unemployment relief measure with the necessary assistance provided during the early periods of settlement under proper supervision. and with the appointment at once of committees in each district to carefully survey needs and passibilities. SOme week ago The Advance referred to the death of Mrs. Matthews. for- merly of Timmins, where she lived for some years, coming here from New Lis- keard. and moving from here to the South. Previous to her death Mrs. Matthews was living in Toronto. Her death followed an automobile accident six or seven weeks ago. The Toronto Globe some days ago made the follow- RESPONSIBEITY PLACED FOR.

Devine W Canaan that Mm W Seusmelobhmmslnmr. Job Seller Is 113qu a Can:- dhn. he Stu. A gentleman whom The Advance cusses as a 3096 Cunadisn sends The Advance the following letter this week: To the Editor of The Advence. Timmins. Dear Simâ€""On the Crimo of Selling Jo s."â€"Like many others I have fol- lowed with much interat your articles on the above subject and wish to be allowed to submit my personal views on I really thlnk that the only reapon-‘ slble p‘arty in the case ls the man who receives the money from the poor job hunter. If it is true that the “job purchaser is usually a forelgner.“ it is also true that the job seller is. in the great majority of cases. a Canadian or other Brlttsher. I also think that the reason foreig- ners are more apt to pay f or :1ij than Canadians is because the “job seller," for obvious reasons. will usually more readily take money from a foreigner than he would from a Canadian or other Britisher. Now, I fail to see where the man pay- ing money for a job is very much to blame. since this has been a practice in many parts of the country at all times. 1Lithough through private employment omccs. Further, between the prospect of go- ing hungry for an indefinite period. the prospect of an immediate job at a. good salary. though the latter may cost him his last nickel, which one is a man to choose once he has found the way out of his predicament. viz., the “greasing up" of someone‘s dirty paw? It may be that in emphasizing the fact that Canadians and other Britishers; are particularly opposed to the traffick-; ing in jobs. the references in The Adv vance may have given “Observer" a wrong impression of the attitude of this paper. If he will read again what was said in The Advance he will note that the reason that The Advance stressed the fact that foreigners are the chief purchasers of jobs is because this is the fact. The idea of purchas- ing the right to work is repugnant to Canadians and other British peOple. In certain foreign circles, however, it is looked upon almost as a matter of course. The Advance had no ccn- demnation for the poor fellow who finds it necessary, or thinks it necessary, to pay for the right to work. What The Advance would like to see is the whole dirty business done away with. The plan is completely foreign to the gen- eral ideas and ideals of this country. 'Hmm. 06L.

There is rea- son to believe that there are me at that type pretending to sell jobs. The foreigner is their chief victim. In such cases the foreigner is entitled to nothing but sympethy and _a.ny help that. can be given him. The foreigner who has been accustomed to the idea of havingtopnyforajobanddoeshis buying without evil intent. is not to be unduly blamed. Of course. there are cases where the buyer may not be inno- cent but simply lending himself to the fraudulent plans of a. group. In nus case there should be nothing but con- dcmnation. In the majority of cases. however, the foreigner is the victim of a pernicious scheme that has nothing to defend it. This is why The Advance would like to see all the mines follow the lead of the Wright-Hargreaves and make it so hot for the mean seller of jobs that this breed will be put out of “business and into jail. In the mean- time The Advance would repeat that no foreigner should be allowed to pur-‘ chase a job when so many Canadians are out of work. The man who cannot secure a job without buying it is not the man for the job. In this country the people should firmly set their faces against any idea of trafficking in the !right to work, which is in effect the lright to live. It may be added that the -reference in “Observer‘s letter to em- ployment offices does not concern the matter under discussion. Government employment officers charge no fee and are noted for the fairness they show and the help they give the seeker after work. Private employment offices are 'mgulated by the law and are allowed only to charge small fees. Those fees lare for services given and could not in any'way be referred to as being in the lnature of the purchase of a job. URGES STUDY OF ‘VILD LIFE IN SCHOOLS 0F PROVINCE Mercury. W. J. Stiles says:â€" “The Hon. W. D. Black, when speak- ing in Renfrew recently, said that if he had his way the preservation of wild animals would be made a subject of study in schools. Everybody who has a hobby would add it to the curri- culum of schools, but isn‘t nature study already a subject taught in schools? In some schools it is taught, and no- where can it be taught without great advantage to the pupils. No subject could be of greater interest, especially to the boys.
