A 15â€"rung ladder plunged straight down the wall into a big, vaulted cellar, where on this particular day four or five couples were dancing to the sound of a violin excruciatingly played by a blind man. At the far end of this cellar was a bar presidsd over by the ‘boss‘ wife, who was even fatter than her spouse and decked out in bead necklaces. Half a dozen tables were alrsadly cocupied. At one sat two men who smoked in silenceâ€"the Ara>» and Biy Paul.

Well whoever, he | is I hope he will accept my thanks for writing up such a lot of real common sense. Anyore who reads it and does not agree should go to an asylum acaâ€" demy and receive treatment, or anyone ielse who knocks this Northern Ontar:.o [and its T. °N. O. Ry. That lefler states. a good reason why the Transâ€" 'Canada highway should be routed :north and west via Cochrane instead iof through a rocky hilly country where ! there are no great large farming areas. | Of all the provinces in Canada I say ! Ssouthern Old Ontario has got them ail | beat for weakâ€"minded people who don‘t really know what is good for them and ‘what has been good them. They conâ€" | tinue to find fault and try to tramp on it. Let me tell my neighbours to the ‘south that up here in the North we ‘ people and settlers and our cattle the purest air in the province and we drink the purest water. Our | water is not nor ever was polluted with |sewerage and dead animals. Thirtyâ€" | two years ago when I lived at Niagara ‘Falls I had recovered over twenty | bodies of human beings from the river and since I left there over one hundred more dead people have been taken out I by one man. I also saw dozens of dead dogs, pigs, horses, cows, floating there and I learnt to be a good rifle shot by |shooting at them from the top of the gorge. Just think how many sewers ,fiow into those waters from Port Arâ€" ‘ thur to Montreal. I am sure there are ia thousand of them and not taking ‘into consideration the vessels on the ;lakes. Our cattle up north do not ithrive on lukewarm, slimy ponds but ‘they have plenty of iceâ€"cold spring 'water the year around. So all this goes to show that Northern Ontario is | a better place to live in even though winâ€" ’ ters are a little longer and if they were the great lakes of Southern Onâ€" | tario would soon drop several feet. Alâ€" | ready we are having longer daylight than our Southern friends and soon will have four hours more than they , which makes up for winter‘s short days. iWho says Northern Ontario is not a ' healthy place to live in?

In an attempt to split up January production of $97,016 for the Matachewan district among its three producers it may be assumed that Ashâ€" ley will account for approximately $36,â€" 000 and that Matachewan Consolidated running at capacity with $7 ore would total about $20,000, which would leave something over $40,000 for Youngâ€"Davâ€" iason.
