8k 7 ow We SsoOUND THE LOUD TIMBREL ! WE‘RE ‘‘ONâ€"TOâ€"THEâ€"TINâ€"CAN!*‘ Respecting the announcement of the «miaric Crovernment that an immediâ€" ate stant is to be made in cutting the rissit of way for the T. & N. 0. extenâ€" gion from Cochrane to Tin Can Porâ€" tase some 70 miles further, north, The Toronto Daily Star editorially unburdens itself in the following colâ€" lection of words, sentences and paâ€" ragnaphs :â€" ‘«Nortlhiern Ontario is to be congraâ€" tulated on the decision of »the Drury government to extend the Temiskamâ€" ing & Northern Ontario Railiway northward from Cochrane to Smoky Falls, (â€"this should be Tin Can Porâ€" tageâ€") a distance of seventy miles. The prospects for the financiall succeess of ‘the extension are brighter than those that in the first place led to the buildine of ithe line from North Bay as a colonization road. "It may be argued that the T. & N. 0. has not been a conspicuous finâ€" ancial success. It has not paid big dividends over the period of its operâ€" ation, but taking the last three years as a whole it thas done well, and the develiopments for which it has been responsible have brought many times the cost of the line in wealth to ithe province. f The whole of New Ontario THE PURCUPINL ADVANCE is sufâ€" 16 eaused bim to urge A1s CaDInet To sanction the understaking.

In the words of a famous oldâ€" time comic opera, "‘It is all very well to dissembille your Jove, but why did you kick us downstairs?‘‘ In other words, why has the greatest need of the North Land,â€"good roads,â€"Lbeen sidetracked? Tlhis proposed North Land higthway would do muclh more to assist the present devglopment and progress of the North Land tlhan two railway extensions to Tin ‘Can wilderâ€" ness. In addition the cutting of ths rightâ€"ofâ€"way for ithe proposed highâ€" way would give employment in pracâ€" tical and cconomical way to a much larger number of people than will be possible in thie cass of the railway exâ€" tension, nud\{le relief of unemployâ€" ment in the south is one of the prime reasons given for the early stant on the railway extension to Tin Can. | The attitude of most of ‘the people in the North Land at present is, ‘"Well, let us be thankful the Governâ€" ment is willing to do anything. There are, of course, more pressing needs {an that extension, but if we cannot hbave these pressing needs filled. as they should be, well, let us take anyâ€" thing we can get.‘‘ As a matter of fact, if the Governâ€" ment is committeed to tihe ‘Onâ€"toâ€"Tin Can‘‘ extension, the highway project should also be taken up not only to }suppl.\' a real need of ithe North Land but also as a practical and economicâ€" lavl method of relieving the menace of serious unemployment in the south. Mr. A. A. Cole, T. & N. 0. Mining Engineer, about a week ago gave the nastiest kind of a jolt to the impresâ€" sion held by some Old Ontario folks that the North Land has ‘‘eight months of winter, six weeks of sumâ€" mer and ‘the rest of the year devilishâ€" ty late in the fall."‘ Mr. ‘Cole picked a nice little bunch of willd violets while on a recent visit to the Poreuâ€" pine. When the North Land grows spring wild flowers in September, the outdoors of this country need take no back ‘talk from the supposedly sunny T. & N. 0. MINING ENGINEER PICKS VIOLETS IN SEPTEMBER south.
