Ey : ' . There will be general agreement with the hopg expressed by President Langdon Ti Board of Trade that the protest made by the peoâ€" ple of South Porcupine against the proposed route of the highway through their township will not delay actual work on the highway this year. It would be indeed regrettable if work were heldâ€"up on the road for any length of time for new plans to be made or new ~tenders to be=called forâ€"a changed route. On the other hand it is ‘easy to sympathize with the people of south Porcupine in their protest against the route of the.highway beâ€" ing changed so that the main street of their town, hitherto a part of the highway, is to be left off the route. It is equally ecasy to see that South Porcuâ€" pine people will find little comfort in the fact that the highway does not altogether pass them by, but that they are still within easy access of the use Of, the highway.

It is not so important in this country that distances should be shortened, or roads be straightened, as that the people and the indusâ€" tries should be served to the fullest possible exâ€" tent. It is an excellent idea to pave the highway. In the final, it wiil likely prove the most economicâ€" al. But the need of the North for roads is an exâ€" tended one: It goes beyond a single paved highway. It was an encouraging matter to note in the anâ€" nouncements by the department of highways that settlers‘ roads are not to be forgotten. It would be well, however, to take care to see that roads for the settlers and for the mines are not made imâ€" possible because of expenditures being chiefly deâ€" voted to paving the highway. The Advance is not finding any fault with the paving programme. Inâ€" deed, it is admitted cheerfully that it is a move very much in the right direction. In the end it will prove both economical and advantageous. But it is not out of place to say that too great a price may be paid for it. It would be an exorbitant price if it failed to serve South Porcupine and other towns along the line. If it is inconvenient for important mines like the Dome it is also failing in the real purpose of roads for the North. ,mde An prompt manner. . 4__“‘â€"-A“A‘AAA In South Porcupine there are some who appear to think that Timmins was in some measure reâ€" sponsible for the proposed new route of the highâ€" way. This is not the case. The route was selected by the department of highways after a careful study of the situation. As a matter of fact it is doubtful if many people in Timmins even knew of the prpâ€" posed change of route. Anything that would really injure South Porcupine would be of no benefit to Timmins. The interests of the three towns are closely bound up together and Timmins shares in every prosperity that comes.to either Schumacher or South Porcupine. The feeling between the towns is friendly and should remain so. There should be the fullest measure of coâ€"operation between the three places. Indeed, if there is danger of real inâ€" jury to South Porcupine, Timmins should join its sister town in protest. Here, however, assurance 1s given that the proposed change of route will not injure South Porcupine and that there is not the slightest chance of the town being sidetracked in anyâ€"way. All will hope that this proves to be the case. In the meantime, however, it would appear -_'tO be worth while for the government to carefully ebnslder the representations made by South Porâ€" cupine. At the present moment it would appear that no delay need be caused in the actual underâ€" taking of work on the road if final decision is The story of the boy who cried, "wolf‘ has beâ€" come a classic. This historic lad in a sheep â€"~raising 1ng cry, "wolf," when there were no wolves endanâ€" gerlng the flocks. Eventually in the story he saw a pack of wolves appearing and cried the warning loudly. But no one heeded him. The flocks were raâ€" ‘vaged, and it would be only the measure of justice for the mischievous boy to be eaten up by the wolves. The story of the Algoma wolf has also beâ€" come a classic. For generations The Sault Star has been telling the world that Algoma wolves are sweet and kindâ€"timid and toothlessâ€"will harm ho one. A number of wolves were kept in an enâ€" ‘closure at the Sault to point the moral and adorn theâ€"tale of the Algoma wolf. One day recently the wolves broke out of the enclosure, and the people of the Sault shot them down on sight, despite the _éries of many years as to their sweet harmlessness. ‘It is a classic example of the fact that no matter how much you may tell the people anything, they ‘are liable at any time to believe what suits them. _ If all school examinations are abolished, as seems to be the desire of some of the educational authorities of the province in the present day, where will newspapers hereafter secure their supâ€" ply of schoolboy howlers? some feared, and that connection with the C.P.R. at North Bay will be made as in the past. Reports were.current to the effect that the T. N. 0. had decided to take off what have been known as the dJocal trains," Numbers 1 and 2. The discontinuâ€" ""‘Last week a cruel rumour was started to the ‘effect that there had been a fall of rock at one of the local mines and that one man had been killed and seventyâ€"five others were buried under the fallen rock. There was not the slightest foundation for such a rumour. The heartless meanness of atâ€" tempting to spread such false stories cannot be overâ€" â€"emphasized. Mining has its dangers, though those dangers have been reduced as near to the minimum as human ingenuity and human inâ€" terest can provide. Every time such lies are cirâ€" culated, unnecessary anxiety and suffering is created. There is fear for relatives and friends whenever an accident is reported in a mining town. It seems incredible that anyone should be so heartiless and so contemptible as to start false ruâ€" ‘mours of accidents in a mining town, and thus cause needless suffering and alarm. All in the North will be pleased to know that the new schedule of the T. N. 0. to come into effect this month will not interfere with local traffic as GRAVEL AND SANDâ€"-â€"AND PLALER Mrs. J.

In some cases, under the service reported, it would have been impossible for settlers and others to make their regular trips without an overmght stop and the loss of a day or more on the trip. This would have been practically impossible for most of those concerned. Official announcement from North Bay, however, shows that all the fears founded on rumours and reports were groundless and that there is no curtailment of T. N. 0. serâ€" vice but instead a very material extension of acâ€" commodation for all concerned. While the reports were current one local business man was forward with a proposal that appeared a solution for the situation. ‘This solution is not needed now, but the idea may be of value in the future.

New Liskeard, April 5.â€"(ESpezrial to Tha _ Advance)â€"The â€" comparatively cpen winter experienced in this part Osgcode Hall, was that the bus service on the Porcupine branch would give the service needed here, and that the difficulty along the rest of the line might be solved by further extension of the bus service. This citiâ€" zen recognized the high cost of running a train for local traffic, and believed the bus service would fill the bill at moderate cost. He thought that if the T. N. 0. did not wish to go extensively into the bus business, private franchises could be given. He believes that private interests would be glad ‘to take a franchise for service between Swastika and Porquis Junction, and between Swastika and New Liskeard. The other sections of the line are already covered by bus services. Rates and times and service could be fully guarded in the franchises, and the people might be served in special way.
