Oldâ€"time prospectors are inclined to shrug their shoulders and say nothing when mention is made to them of the Dominion Government department‘s reeert "‘wiseâ€"crack,"" that the "first duty of the prospector is to be able to find himse?f,"" The oldâ€"timers do not deny the necessity for prospectors being able to take care of themselves. From harsh experience they know that unless the prospector is able to guard himself his chances are even less than normal. The bush in a new country has no more heart than the sea or the desert. And there are no blackflies on the sea. In the shrug of the shoulders of the oldâ€"time prospector there seems to be the suggestion that they do mnot expect any sympathetic treatment or intelligent understanding of their problems from Dominion Government experts and officials. Such an «ttitude on the part of the prospectors appears to be justified, but it is a disgrace to this country that it should be so. The prospectors and other pioâ€" mreers of this country are this land‘s most valued and essential assets. Their lives are worth much to this country, and if this Dominion were even wise, to say nothing of gratitude, every possible assistance and safeguard would be very freely offered to the men upon whose work depends the future of the eountry. Any foreign party, caught in the hazards of spectacular stunts in the air or on the sea, may be certain of attention and assistance should their difficulties occur within the reaches of Canada. There may not be much press publicity in attempting the rescue of one of our own people striving to do a useful work in the exploration of this country, but certainly there is more reason and patriotism. Miss Charlotte Pearson,' a noted art critic and conoisseur, told Toronto newspapers last week that in her opinion Canadian sunsets surpass any in the world. Did Miss Pearson ever see one of the wonderful sunsets quite common in this North Land? It is to be readily admitted that there is great beauty in the usual sunset in the south of Ontario. Some most attractive sunsets may be seen along the St. Lawrence where nature seems to combine its forces in making sunsets that particularly appeal to the eye of the artist. But the glorious sunsets frequently seen in this part of the. North Land touch the heart of all lovers of beauty. Words are too stiff and indistinet to picâ€" ture the marvels of the North Land sunsets. If Miss Pearson finds delight in sunsets, she should visit this North Land. While here she might have the wood fortune to view some of the displays of the Northern Lights that surâ€" pass similar views elsewhere in their beauty and extent and in the delicacy of the shading of the trembling lines of light and beauty. The Advance makes no apology for the publication elsewhere in this issue | of another letter from Mr. H. A. Preston regarding the building of the proâ€" posed belt line of roads for this North. Mr. Preston is to be complimented for keeping up the agitation to have this belt line of roads completed. _ It would double the attraction of this country to tourists and it would open up a wonderful new area of new country, rich in minerals, timber, fish, game and scenery. ‘When the belt line of roads proposal was before a meeting of the Associated Boards of Trade at Timmins, one gentleman from the south of the North suggested that the belt line of roads idea should be dropped until the Ferguson highway was in ideal condition. is better,"" he said, ‘"‘to have ene good road than two bum ones."‘ A Timmins delegate gave him the reply, **Â¥Yes, and it is still better to have two good roads rather than one bum one 1 Roads constitute the present pressing problem of the North Land. Without reads the progress of the country is hampered. One road, even a highway, is mnot all that this country needs. The North Land has a more important place in world industry than simply ibeing a place for tourists to visit. Some of the hills have riches of ores, and there will be many a hill left for secenery to delight the tourists. The woods will provide work and wealth in the timâ€" ber and pulp and paper industries, and still leave hundreds of miles of bush fer tourists‘ picnies. â€" This is an immense country that may be developed in a diversity of ways, each way helping the others,. Every dollar invested wisely by the Government will bring noteworthy returns. The belt line of roads| would do more to assist in the development of the whole North Land than; any single other proposal to view. It would be of striking value to every town‘ and community in the area, binding the various towns together by more eonâ€"| wemient communication and incereasing business by increasing developâ€" It is a long spell of continued hot weather. It looks as if it would be a eald day before the murderer of Inspector Constable is brought to justice. The authorities, however, should remember that the people have not forgotten this cowardly crime by which the underworld element defied the law and of the land. The foolish suggestion of some red tape artist in one of the Dominion Gorernment departments that prospectors have no right to get lost in the bus and the Government has no obligation to assist in searching for any prospectors who have the poor taste to get lost, is a proposition that fortunâ€" etely Coes not appeal to the Ontario Government and finds no acceptance TIMMINS, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, AUG. 16th, 1928 Thursday, Aug. 16th, 1928 Member of the Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association Published Every Thursday by 26 GRAVEL AND SANDâ€"AND PLACER Che Yorruptur _.?_\huanw Subscription Rates : $2.00 per year United TIMMINS, ONTARIO.

G. H. Ferguson, premier of Onâ€" tario, has commented on the fact that King George was well acquainted with conditions in Canada. No monarch who ever sat upon the British throne was so thoroughly groomed for his great task as King George. His earâ€" ly service in the navy, which took ‘him into many ports in many seas; his later travels; his world tour; his freâ€" quent visits to the Domlmons, and his progress through Indiaâ€"all these things were dehbertely designed by a wise and farâ€"seeing father to equip his son for the portentious destiny that was to be his some day. It may be true, as expressed by exâ€" perts, that monetary conditons vaill not be correct again, marketwise, until February. But there are many prosâ€" pective buyers who can borrow if they so desire and surely we may expect that among them are many people possessing foresight and who will anâ€" ticipate improved conditions. for a general advance, and probably won‘t be for several months. It is approaching the time where any outâ€" standing news would develop a speâ€" ciality mmkeb ‘"‘Singe ‘he ascended the throne, King George has shown that he realizes to the full the inestimable benefit of such experience as travel and personal contact alone can give by sending the Prince of Wales upon simiâ€" lar Empire missions, and the Duke of York and the other royal princes are also being brought into intimate touch with the Empire outside the British Isles. If any of them, in the years to come, reveals an ignorance of Caâ€" nada or of South Africa or of the other dominions, it will not be the fault of the King."‘ Whether the worst is over in the markets is debatable but it is plain that buyers are coming in, attracted by prices that appear to be at barâ€" zin levels compared with past quotaâ€" tions and jpresent intrinsi¢c values.
