The Northern Tele- phone Company has one other similar] exchange at Timmlns. where there are} 1509 telephones in use. The Northern' Telephone Company has kept pace with growth of our mines in this partj of Northern Ontario and Northern erec. The exchange now at Amos has 290 telephones and the Noranda and Rouyn has 764 telephones. An exchange was installed at Matachewan and recently a larger switchboard was installed there to take care of the ex- pected growth in that new mining camp. There is also some talk of in- stalling a switchboard in Dupamuet township adjoining the Beattie Mines. It will be noted that for the first few years the growth was very limited anq in fact has not been large. except dur- ing the past three years. For the first ten years. the telephones only amount- ed to 598. During the last three and a half years the increase has been 644.

I (From New Liskeard Speaker) i A short time ago the Northern Tele- ‘ phone Company completed the instal- lation of an up-to-the-minute switch board at their Kirkland Lake Central, and now thepatrons of the telephone have the sAme advantages which are enjoyed by the users of any of our Canadian systems. The occasion of the completion of the new improve- ments was taken advantage of to have a sort of get together time for the management of the company and the citizens of the town. and a very soci- able and interesting evening was spent. during which Vice-President W. A. Taylor occupied the chair and a num- ber of splendid addresses were given. President T. McCamus gave an inter-: esting review of the progress of the‘ Telephone Company from the days of its organization at New Liskeard until the present time. when it spreads its lines over the whole of the Temiskam- mg. Cochrane and Northwestern Que- bec areas. The following list of telephones in use at Kirkland Lake for each year is interesting as 'it shows the growth of I __ _-__-_vv-__vâ€"â€"v voâ€"v-v- ! “The commissioner pointed out that, he had taken steps to keep a check! . on conditions in various hotel beverage rooms. On Aug. 2, on his instruction, Chief Inspector F. E. Elliott of the On- tario Police, issued an order to all dis- trict inspectors to warn their men to I keep watch for such infractions of the regulations as: permitting drunkenness, drinking while standing, selling with- out authority, selling after hours, and permitting dirorderly conduct on their | premises. I “He pointed out that the commis- sion, in obtaining reports before grant- ing authorities. was forced to use in- spectors who had been connected with the stores and warehouses. Next week, however. appointment of permanent hotel inspectors will commence, to supervise enforcement there. “Drunkenness will not be tolerated. We intend to see that authority holders obey the law," he said. “We expect these holders to see that there is no drunkenness. That is also a matter for the local police." “He made it clear that the provisions of the regulations will be firmly enforc- ed. and that the renewing of the licenses after October 31 this fall will be conditional on how the holders of these authorities have conducted their establishments. “Separate hotel beverage rooms for women. including women with escorts. will be set up in the immediate future, it was announced on Thursday by E. G. Odette. liquor commissioner. The order making it a ruling of the com- mission is in preparation now. "This change was considered desir- able by the commissioner as the result of observations of the working of the system as it exists at present. The Toronto Mail .and Empire last week was responsible for the report that the latest plan in connection with the new been and wine regulations as‘ to have a separate room for women who wish a little “Shifter." The Mail and Empire does not make it plain as] to whether or not the regulation regard- [ ing a separate room for women is to apply to the whole province or just to Toronto. If to all Ontario, then most peOple will question the wisdom of such a regulation. The present bever- ‘ age rooms should be kept in such good order that any woman might safelyl enter it.

Mr. Alderson expressed every hope that the new home to be known as the Defoe hospital for the Dionne quintuplets. would be ready for use by September 1. He has already in- vited Hon. David Croll. minister of public welfare. to officially open the hospital on that date. The stone wall is now about four feet high on all sides. and is being rushed to its complete height of seven feet. Two special constables are reported now to have been sworn in last Satur- day to give 24-hour protection to the Dionne home. It is not stated whether this is the result or not of the report last week that an intruder one even- ing at the home had caused some alarm to those looking after Corbeil's five famous babies. W. H. Alderson, executive member of the Red Cross. is quoted as announcing the appoint- ment of the two constables but he would not divulge their names.

Three years ago he became con- nected with the Dome Gold Mine and again moved to Northern Ontario, go- ing this time to South Porcupine, where he has since resided. His leadership is known all over the north end of the province and he is President of the Northern Ontario Scout Leaders’ Club, which has sponsored rallies, confer- ences, camps and other worth-while get-togethers. The Toronto Telegram last week had the following in its Boy Scouts column: “A surprise award, surprise even to :all those on the spot, was the presen- tation at the Saturday evening Coun-‘ cil Fire of the Rover Moot to Rover] 'Leader Walter Lemmon. of South Por- .cupine. when he was called to the ' centre of the circle and decorated with Medal of Merit by John A.

N. 0. ex- ; tension to Moosonee. said that the line “should never have been built. It starts nowhere and ends . .There is . no Justification for it whatever. There 15 very little prospect for development ‘in the territory adjacent to the ter- , minal.“ F10m the foregoing it will L be seen that even a premier has his off moments when he makes state- ments that upon more matu1e con- sideration would be either left unsaid or greatly modified. And before any- thing drastic is done to the extension we sincerely trust that Premier Hep- burn will give the matter the mature consideration it undoubtedly requires. 1' It is only necessary to recall the fact I that when the last Liberal Government to hold office at Queen’s Park undei- took the building of the original '1‘. 81, NO. Railway north from North Bay, it was hailed by the then Conservative Opposition as a terrible waste of money ‘ to build a railway into “a land of stunt- ! ed poplars." With such an example before him, surely Premier Hepburn would be well-advised to make haste slowly in condemning the further exâ€" tension of a line of railway that has brought almost fabulous amounts of wealth to the province at large. Of course the geologists tell us that there is no possibility of a second Cobalt or Porcupine springing into existence along the north extension. But all railway business does not originate with gold and silver mining. There are other natural resources known to be contingent to the extension and many possibilities as yet unknown. It is true that the terminus at Moosonee at the tpresent time would more than likely fail to impress any visitor as a potential source of railway revenue. Yet that terminus might conceivably be a starting point or distributing cen- tre for many commercially important activities up and down the coast of James and Hudson Bays. And despite inspired propaganda to the contrary, there is the possibility of a thriving fishing industry there. It is to be hop- ed that Premier Hepburn will not set lent to prove the extension a useless ,expenditure simply to make political capital out of the thing. It is true that he has good reason to be distrustful of any and every undertaking that was sponsored by his predecessors in office. It is also true that the building of the major portion of the extension was done by a firm on very good terms with his predecessors. It is also true that the extension was worked for all it was worth as a vote catcher by his pre- decessors, who had. themselves little or no faith in its real possibilities else its building would have been completed long ago. But here is an opportunity for Premier Hepburn to show a touch 1 of real statesmanship. Let him lift the thing beyond the level of petty politics. and demonstrate that he has the vision which his predecessors lacked, by en- ergetically developing the known re- sources along the extension. pushing the tourist possibilities of Moosonee. and generally making of the extension a financial success. It can. we believe. be done. In any case. the principal and interest on the money borrowed to build the line will have to be paid. even though not a wheel turns on it. so why not adept the only sensible course. and make the thing pay for itself? Even a Conservative government cannot al- ways be wrong. and the north extension will one day amply justify its con- struction, if only given the opportunity Extension to Moosonee Should Have Fair Chance In an editorial article last week The Cochrane Northland Post last week says:â€" with H. J. Welch, Toronto, recently conducted an investigation into the affairs of the Niagara Falls Parks Com- mission. Mr. Racine will be assisted by a railway accountant. Mr. Hepburn said that the commissioner would make a. thorough enquiry and would repbrt to the government his recommenda- tions for economy and efficiency. The enquiry opened at North Bay on Tues- day this week. On Wednesday last at Toronto Pre- mier Hepburn announced that Armand Racine, of Windsor, had been appoint- ed commissioner to make a preliminary investigation into the operation of the T. N. 0. Railway. Mr. Racine, along with H. J. Welch, Toronto, recently enough about the new government. There have been complaints about some of the investigators appointed. and so it goes. However. the general impression is that the T. N. O. has been well conducted and that efficiency has been the watchword of the rail- way commission throughout. Among the numerous probes. investi- gations and what-not started by the Hepburn Government there has been one launched into the T. 85 N. 0. Rall- way affairs. Premier Hepburn asserts that he has received a number of com- plaints about the T. N. O. No doubt there are those who would com- plain about the T. N. O. or anything else.
