Ottawa Board of Trade Members on Visit Here tEX Suburban Roads Oonunlsslon. J, P,. AReénney, genel manâ€" Would Have the Market Stands Facing on Pine There were about forty in the three cars that arrived here yesterday on Train No. 47. Not only was the party representative of the Ottawa board of trade and the city of Ottawa, but it inâ€" cluded many men of national prominâ€" ence in business, industry and the proâ€" president of the Ottawa board of trade. . In explaining the purpose of the tour to The Advance, Fred H. Honeywell, K.C., president of the Ottawa board of trade, said:â€"*"This is not a simple holiâ€" day jaunt, or a joyâ€"ride, but an ‘honest a@btemp.: to bring better understanding ketwesn the North and the Scuth and the East and the West of this province. This province should be one in thought and spirit, with no divisions and no misunderstandings. With this idea in mind we would like to "sell" the Nonth to the rest of the province. To do that we need to see for ourselves, to speak of the North with the knowledge that comes from acquaintance. The more we know of the North, its progress and its problems, the better we can advise and inform others, so that the North and the rest of the province may coâ€" cperate to the advantage of all." H.

If they had their wish the counters would face east on Pine and, they argue more people would be attracted. More peciple are attending the marâ€" ket but the farmers and growers feel that there are still a large number who do not know or realize that it exists. One of the things they would like to see cultivated in the housewives of Timmins is the marketing habit. Another Good Will Tour of the North.

The Advance has been urging for several weeks past that South Porcuâ€" pine be not sidetracked from the highâ€" way route as proposed by the engiâ€" neers and some others who could think of nothing but straight highways, forâ€" getting that one of the vital purposes of roads in this North is to connect up existing towns and give transportation facilities to the industries of the counâ€" try. For several weeks C. V. Gallagher has been working on the question, and the fact that he has been successful in securing a fair deal for South Porcuâ€" pine (and incidentally for Schumacher and Timmins in the matter may be taken as a fair sample of the valuable work that Mr. Gallagher will do for the North when he has the added prestige of being member for South Cochrane. We have every reason to believe that this decision, which will be received with a great deal of satisfaction by South Porcupine business people, has been given by reason of direct action on the part of Mr. C. V. Gallagher, who got into communication with the Dept, on Friday and insisted on action being taken regarding this question. We also are given to understand that the right angle turn on the highway at the corâ€" ner of Bruce and Crawford is to be rounded, widened, graded and banked for added safety. Mr. V.
