Optimism in North‘s Future Voiced by Hon. W. A. Gordon While those at the banquet had some casual realization of what the mining industry means to Canada from its very proximity to them, they were at the same time surprised to learn that Canada‘s ~mining industry employed‘ approximately 80,000 persons and repreâ€" sents a value of something like $870,â€" 000,000 in plants, equipment and cash reserves. Ignores Politics in His Address The banquet was held in the curling rink and was representative of the community hospitality, breadth of visâ€" lon and interest. Hon. Mr. Gordon, as usual, was listened to with rapt atâ€" tention, and while he eschewed politics and things that smacked even of the slightest of political tone in his address, he struck a new note of faith, courage and optimism over the future devedopâ€" ment of the North with its resources of minerals, agriculture, lumbering and Snmethine af what the local Boartd of Trade accomplished in the early days of Teck township was related by L. A. Lillico, Kirkland â€"Lake attorney. He recalled that the early boards acâ€" complished real things and did so with theâ€"coâ€"operation and backing of the Associated Boards of those days; and in a reminiscent mosd harked back to the time when Swastika and Kirkâ€" land Lake were two and a half hours apart by road. It was a Col. Lowe, Dick Carter, president of the Kirkâ€" land Board oJ Trade, was chairman of the banquet, which was given in honour of the delegates to the associated boards meeting on Friday. The affair marked new page in the history of the local board, and it presaged a revival of inâ€" terest in the activities of the organizaâ€" tion which, with its history of things accomplished in the early days of the Kirkland gold camp, was honoured ‘by the presence of the associated delegates for the occasion. other district newspapers would suggest that the proceedings of the Associated Boards of Trade as held in its Kirkland Lake session on July 7th was adequately ern News last week gave an excellent and comprehensive report of the banâ€" quet, and both as a matter of record, and also for its intrinsic interest, The Advance herewith. reproduces the reâ€" port of The Northern News in full. ‘The Northern.

"The North has proved a mainstay to our governments. I feel, however, that in the proper development of the North great care must be taken to see that our other resources qre developed poâ€" gressively along with those related to the. mming industry. We must not forâ€" ‘get agriculture, fishing and lumbering. We should lay our plans so that when the mineral wealth is exhausted people should be able to live and thrive here." One of the distinguished visitors on the occasion of the banquet was the late President Woudrow Wilson ofthe United States. The bangquet was held on New Year‘s night and the proceedâ€" ings were of the "stag" variety, since it was at a time when there were probâ€" ably no women in the Cobalt camp exâ€" cept one. Mr. Langdon reflected that in the past year and a half the demands Oof Northern Ontario on the governments had not been unreasonable and he had nothing but praise for the efforts of C. W. Wright, of Englehart, secretary ¢f the Asscciated Boards of Trade in advertising Canada and the North at the World‘s Fair in Chicago, and at the Canadian National Exhibition in Tcronto last year. Dr. Armstrong, of Cobalt Dr. E. F. Armstrong, of Cobalt, a former member of parliament and mayor of Cobalt, proposed the toast to "The Mining Industry," and in the course of his address he recalled a banquet tendered ‘by the first Cobalt board of trade in 1907 to a number otf American celebrities. The Canadians, on that occasion, were hosts to the American visitoos and he remembered that one of the guests, a mining engiâ€" reer of world repute, told him on that occasion that "the C:obalt camp will be done in three ~years." Three years later, Dr. Armstrong remarked, the same engineer came back and found Cobalt enjoying a boom! Mr. Langdon felt that the Associated Boards of Trade acted as a clearing house for the various local boards and this being so the parent body Obtained the considered opinion of all of the business men in Northern Ontario. He thought that perhaps, in the past five or seven years, the various boards of trade had fallen down in some inâ€" It was difficult, he remarked, to get members out to meetings. W. «0. Langdon, of Timmins, reâ€" sponded to the toast. The president of the associated boards went back into the history of the organization prior to 1921 and afterwards and recalled that the aims and objects of the organizaâ€" tion were amed at the promotion of everything pertaining to the welfare of Northern Ontario. Explaining the funcâ€" tions of the organization, he pointed out that it existed in an advisory rather than exécutive> capacity; and from 1921 on the activities presented a true picture of the growth and develâ€" cpment of the North. Trade Boards the Only Medium "Boards of trade," he observed, "preâ€" sent as far as I know the only medium in which the business men in various localities can get together and discuss their views and pass on through that medium suggestions to our governâ€" ments. And our governments are only too pleased and willing to receive them. There is no other way you can Apâ€" proach them with your views." with the toast "Northern Ontario Asâ€" sociated Boards of Trade" ang gt its conclusion Reeve Gerald D. O‘Meara extended a welcome from the township of Teck to the delegates at the banquet. "We hope," remarked the reeve, "that your meeting here will accomâ€" plish a revival of interest in the activiâ€" ties of the local board and of all boards of trade in the district. There plished by the early boards have reâ€" dounded to the benefit of the North and the entire country." Dr. Armstrong referred fittingly to the life and works cf the late Dr. Drummond, of Ccobalt, the "Habitant Poet," and he spoke pridefully of the fact that the only ‘memorial erected to his memory in Canada was the one erected this year on the site of Dr. Drummond‘s old home at Kerr Lake. "It tcok/‘the North to do this," he said, "and to do something that should have been done years before." Told of His Early Stakings Dr. Armstrong voiced his optimism over the future of the North, and as one of the original stakers of the Forâ€" cupine camp .(the Armstrongâ€"BoJth property) he referred to his early acâ€" tivities in that area, and also recalled that he was one of the early stakers of the Noranda camp, but that the chunks of oreâ€"gold and copperâ€"found there were not looked on with any great interest by mining men at Ottawa and the claims were allowed to lapse. Not long ago, he said, he paid a visit to Noranda and learned that the claims he previously staked thereâ€"many years agoâ€"were on the site of the presâ€" ent Noranda mill!l _ "This is the country of opportunityâ€" the country for young people," he enâ€" thused. "It is cne of the most reâ€" sourceful districts in the entire world." The Cobalt man referred to the fact that gold mining in Kirkland Lake was being successfully carried on at a depth of 5,000 feet, and he saw no reaâ€" son to believe that the Kirkland Lake was in danger of petering out for many many years. With that thought in mind he felt that communities in the gold mining areas should plan for perâ€" manency and forget the makeshift exâ€" periences of the earlier camps. Kiwanis President Speaks Mr. Gordon, who replied to the toast was introduced by Chairman Carter with a eulogy over the manner in which he was representing the North at Otâ€" tawa, and before the member for Temâ€" iskaming rose to speak the chairman called upon Kiwanian President Hunt for a word or two about the forthcomâ€" ing visit of Hon. William Finlayson, Ontario minister of lands and forests, and members of the Midland Kiwan‘is Club on the following day. the attention of his hearers to Ottawa| Mr. Gordon felt tho.t no one could and the federat parliament buildings | place any limit to the extent to which there, andherecanedthatonwnm the mining indtltry in this country visit to the country‘s capital he was|could extend in the years to come. favourably struck by an inscription Métais and agriculture, he remarked, Dr. Armstrong felt that the North was big encugh and flourishing enough to boast of a big city. Mr. Hunt paid his respects to the guest speaker of the evéning in suitâ€" able terms, and cbserved that the pe>â€" ple of Kirkland were always ready to welcome a minister of the crown. He acquainted the gathering with details of the reception planned by the Kiâ€" wanis Club for the Midland visitors, and invited members of the boards of trade who were not Kiwanians to join in the reception.

Mr. Gordon‘s Address Recalling that "there is a limit to the taxing power of a state," the minâ€" ister of mines, labour and colonization touched for a moment on the accepted theory that "the individual must conâ€" tribute to the state," and from that point he discussed the activities of such organizations as the Northern Ontario Associated Boards of Trade as being a reflection of the thought and opinion of the membership they encompass. Such memberships, he reflected, were drawn from wide circle and the opinâ€" ions of such boards represented the crystallization of opinions from local boards of trade. Funotion Is a Wide One "In my opinion," he went on, "the function of a board of trade is wider than the discovering of some burden that can be cast upon the state. A board of trade functions to identify a problem, but it does not end there. Its responsibility does not end by sending the problem along to the state to solve, but by everybody joining together to assist a government to solve a problem that may, in time, become acute." Mr. Gordon threw out the cautionary suggestion that "governments dare notâ€" if they are to surviveâ€"spend beyond the ‘capacity of the people to bear the ‘burden.‘" The minister pointed out that the past several years had been fraught with difficulties for all governing bodies â€"municipal, county, provincial and federalâ€"and that these had been asâ€" sailed all along the line. Yet, he Oobâ€" served, it seemed to him paradoxical for an organization which condemned pubâ€" lic expenditure to turn around and at the same time demand that governâ€" ment expand its expenditures. Menâ€" tion of the Canadian Chamber of Comâ€" merce was made in this connection and Mr. Gordon observed that ‘"it makes us wonder at times if we should accept the advice of this august body." "It will take. many disappJdintments and failures," said Mr. Gordon, "to ‘make me‘ lose â€"my faith in their ability to make this country an outstanding one among the nations of the world." Geclogical Reports Promptly Made From this point on the member for Temiskaming turned to the activities of the Federal Department of Mines at Ottawa, and he recalled that one of the first things he found on taking over his portfolio as a minister of mines was that the department had in its perâ€" sonnel group of very capable and highly trained men. Yet before that time, he recalled, the activities of apt under the circumstances. And to the amused smiles of his hearers the minister recalled that the thought at that time came to his mind that a more appropriate wording over the portal of the building in question mighi aptly be another familiar quotation "Abandon hope all ye who â€" enter Mr. Gordon thoroughly agreed with Dr. Armstrong, of Cobalt, in the latter‘s optimistic remarks concerning the fuâ€" ture of the Canadian people and of the Dominion. groups of skilled geologists who were sent out on assignments destined to benefit the prospector and the miner and the entire country had unfortunâ€" ately been crippled by the fact that reports turned in were not immediately made available to the public. In. at least one instance, he recalled, there had been a lapse of six or seven years before a geologist‘s report was made available to the people most interested. The minister of mines proceeded to say that such was not the case at the presâ€" ert time; that immediately upon the return of the geological parties the field notes taken by them were in such shape that they were promptly put toâ€" gether and published so that the parties interested in what was discovered had immediate access to them.. Mr. Gordon spoke priaefully about the everâ€"increasing work of the mines department, of its excellent personnel and of its equipment. No other counâ€" try in the world, he recalled, was supâ€" plied with facilities like it and he reâ€" called that only recently the departâ€" ment of mines was also able to take care of a request from farâ€"off Rhodesia for information on a mining subject, not readily available in that country. * _ "During the past three years," he reâ€" marked, "problems have reached us in great number from all over Canada, and one ofâ€" my tasks at Ottawa is to important thing in human life since history began, and he went into a brief explanation of gold and its relation to paper currency. Canada‘s mineral inâ€" dustry, he pointed out, was ‘one of pecullar significance, and the outstandâ€" ing thing about it was its diversificaâ€" tion. There were between 60 and 70 different minerals produced in Canada, he said, and what that meant in terms of industrial value could be gathered from the fact that the enormous sum of $870,000,000 was represented in the mining industry today in the Deominion in the value of its plants, equipment and cash reserves. Approximately 80,â€" 000 persons were employed in the inâ€" dustry, he added. "You can easily see what a large picâ€" ture that makes and what a great conâ€" tribution it offers to the welfare of our country," the minister enthused. Mr. Gordon felt that no one could 'plpeemlimittotheextenttowhlch the see that the department serves the mineral industry of Canada both effiâ€" ciently and well." ' _Mining Industry a Huge One The minister of mines felt that nietals perhaps had formed the most Like Dr. Armstrong, he said, he came into Cobalt in the early days and he agreed with that speaker that it would be difficult today to bring back enough of the oldâ€"timers at that memorable banquet to make up a bridge game. Certainly, he ‘smilingly remarked, not enough of them to make up a game of poker. dicted the member for Temiskaming, "that long after Timmins and K:rikland Lake are worked out the broad agriculâ€" tural acres in the North will be supâ€" porting generations and generations of people, and as the mines disappear new avenues for products of these farms will be opened." Mr. Gordon saw the time when the ingenuity of man will make up for the unfortunate geographical boundaries in so far as the production of coal and minerals were concerned. Canada posâ€" sgessed plenty‘of coal in the east and the west, but none in the centre of the country where it could be easily and cheaply utilized, and the result was that Canada, to a large extent, was dependent on the United States for her coal supplies. Mr. Gordon reaffirmed his confidence in the people of the Dominion to march ahead to wonderful future. The conâ€" fidence and the courage of the Canaâ€" dian, he recalled, was proverbial and it was something that was not acquired Phone 440 FORDMOTORâ€"COMPANY Check over the list of features of the New Ford Vâ€"8 and you will see why it is the greatest valuo in the history of the automobile.
