One can readily beâ€" lieve that it is not altogether a paying proposition, but there is the future to be considered. The suggestion that the James Bay Inn be cl¢sed and "either resalvaged by wrecking or turned over to some charitable institution" seems pretty strong for a man who bases his conclusions on one or two visits, It may well be that within a comparaâ€" tively few years there will be need for a T. N. O. terminus at James Bay. "On the whole, residents of the North Country will not be too deeply moved by the report of the investigator. If the result is decreased expenditure without impairing the railway‘s useâ€" fulness, all will be well. Should the 1| dations are carried out there will be a || considerable saving in the cost of operâ€" ) ating the road, about a half million dollars annually, according to Mr. Raâ€" ' | cine‘s estimate. "Residents of this immedate district will be chiefly concerned with the proâ€" posal to discontinue the service on the Nipissing Central. It has been a great ’convenience between the three tows for many years and will be badly mus- ed, although the suggestion for bat,tery cars on the steam railway, if put into effect, will be some compensation. ,’ ‘"The fact that the railway, as stated in the report, has created a deficit so far as paying interest on the original investment goes is ot ews to the peOple, of the North, nor is it considered anyâ€"| thing serious. When one starts to think of what the T. N. O. has done for the country, which cannot be told in words or figures, no one worries very much if the province is still carrying the interest on the investment. It is likely to continue carrying it for a long time, in spite of the suggested econoâ€" _mies. I "If the recommendation that Geo.| Give W.

Not only do the boys have heaps of fun from the Boy Ecout work but they also are aided in develOpment of the kind of character that makes the finest type of citizens. As noted in The Advance last week in anouncing Saturday, Oct. 27th, as Apple Day, the purpose of the event is to complete the financing of the budget of the Boy Scouts of the district. Funds ; for maintenance and extension of Boy Scout work are raised by contributions from Boy Scout supporters and from the profits of Apple Day. Apple Dav is oe given out unless by tender. ‘"The fact that the 30â€"mile stretch 0o gravel highway which will be proceedâ€" ed with was given to the Dufferin Conâ€" struction Co., in Toronto, was anothe: cause of annoyance to many northernâ€" ers. "They recalled that during the proâ€" vincial election campaign the Liberals had bitterly denounced the Conservaâ€" tives for giving such generous treatâ€" ment to this particular company, and a Sunday picnic given by James F. Franceshini, president of the Dufferin Construction Company, to Italians, just prior to ithe last election was made much of. Saturday of this week is to be Boy Scout Apple Day in the township of Tisdale. Boy Scouts in uniform will sell apples all day on the streets at Scuth Porcupine and Schumacher, the proceeds of the sale to be used for the financing of the excellent work of the Boy Scouts of the district. This is a case where "an apple a day" will do more than "keep the doctor awav‘‘ Tt supporter Cf Apple Day. 4 of the boys th e the small cost Ma _the i1Imnm bov h p the doctor away."

"Premier Hepburn in response to the report admitted that he had been inâ€" undated with wires from the North Country protesting against such a policy, and gave the definite assurance that in future no more contracts would be given out unless by tender. ‘"The fact that the 30â€"mile stretch of gravel highway which will be proceedâ€" ed with was given to the Dufferin Conâ€" struction Co., in Toronto, was another cause of annoyance to many northernâ€" ers. ] i | fiitdIWUEIN OUillClais of the Depart ment of Northern Development woul« not state details of the proposed conâ€" tinuations of the highway in the absence of both the minister and the deputyâ€"minister, it was learned that instructions to prepare â€" permanen winter quarters for unemployed now at work were sent out from the parliament l buildings this week under instructions |of the minister.
