"When labour was bady needed in this camp, it seemed impossible to get any publicity in outside newspapers for this fact. Whether this was due to the fact that people were slow in realizing the possibilities of this country, or whether it was due to the sheer perverseness of human kind must remain for disâ€" pute. Now, however, when there is no need of attracting labour to the Porâ€" cupine, it would almost appear as if there were a conspiracy outside to sadâ€" dle Timmins with all the unemployed of all Canada. One newspaper had a bombastic article prophesying that Timmins would have about 40,000 popuâ€" lation in about three years or so, and implying that there was lots of work and lots of rsom for all.

Editorially, The Advance was still carrying on a battle, this time in 1925, for the settlers who sold pulp to the Mattagami Pulp and Paper Company, who had not paid for it, nor, had they taken any steps to pay up until that time. The Nugget of North Bay had published an article to the effect that the settlers had little chance of getâ€" ting the "mere" $23,000 due, about $450 per settler. "From the settler‘s standâ€" point, this sort of argument appears to be adding insolence to injustice," comments The Advance in an editorial asking that the government step in, inâ€" vestigate the whole affair and see that the hard working settlers were properly dealt with. "It is perfectly true that by figures it can be proven that the average loss to each settler is only a matter of $400 or $500. But while high finance that sum is paltry, to the setâ€" tler it is a matter of very life or death so far as being a successful settler is concerned. If the amount is so paltry, why do not the big high finance fellows pay it and be done with the whole affair?"‘ asked The Advance. i Work of macadamizing the road tol l | the Dome from South End was under way ten years ago this summer.
