Dominion Gives Half "Three million dollars is the amount the Dominion will contribute this year to the Hepburn government‘s roads programme in old and new Ontaric, it was learned at Queen‘s Park. An adâ€" ditional $300,000 will be put up by Otâ€" tawa to assist the province in the conâ€" struction of roads into established proâ€" ducing mining areas. "In the first case, according to agreeâ€" ments reached at the recent Ottawa conference attended by Premier Hepâ€" burn and Hon. T. B. McQuesten, minisâ€" ter of highways, the province will match the federal contribution dollar for dollar. But in the case of the minâ€" ing roads, it will be required to expond orly $200,000. Perth Ccourier:â€"The men who try to do something and fail are infinitely better than those who try to do nothing and succeed. "Premier Hepburn said that no de? finite plan had yet been formulated regarding the allocation of expenditures on the road works as the ncrthern and southern parts of the province. ‘Locating these mining roads will be done with great care, it was learned. No decisions in regard thereto have yet been reached although roads into the Pickleâ€"Crow area and the Little Long Lac area have gsen under conâ€" sideration for several weseks, and are almost certain to be built in some form cr other. They will not be of very high A despatch yesterday from Kirkland Lake says:â€""Requesting that his apâ€" preciation of the welcome accorded his guests while in Kirkland Lake be exâ€" pressed publicly, Walter Little, MP., for Temiskaming, through whose efforts the visit of a party of members of the House of Commons was made possible over the weekâ€"end, telephoned his thanks to citizens of Kirkland Lake imâ€" mediately upon his return to Ottawa. Mr. Little expressed gratification at the cordial welcome extended his guests and expressd himself as being particuâ€" larly desirous of thanking Reeve R. J. Carter, the Kirkland Lake Kikanis Club and management of local mines. "On return journey," Mr. Little said, "the members of the party were enthusiastic and surprised at the heartiness of welâ€" come they had received." "The present is the initial occasion which the Dominion has contributed to roads in Scuthern Ontario. "In connection with the general road programme of Mr. McQuesten‘s departâ€" mert, considerable survey work remains to be done, it is said, before any start is madse. Transâ€"Canada construction will be almost entirely suspended. In the southern half of the province one of the chief new pieces of construction which Queen‘s Park has under considâ€" eration is a highway paralleling street, running west of that road from Lake Ontario, via Brown‘s Line, Schomâ€" berg, etc., into Barrie, to provide a new avenue of approach to the Muskoka district." standard, it is understood, ut will be laid down for the sole purpose of facilitating transport of to the areas they tap. "While new roads to minss are not included in the foregoing total exâ€" penditures tpon highways, Hon. T. B. McQuesten announces that about $500,â€" C00 will be the total expendsd in this direction. Of this sum the Dominion will contribute approximately twoâ€" thirds and the province oneâ€"third. creased expenditures on roads in the South for the past year and in any diâ€" vision of the $6,000,000 joint expendiâ€" ture by Dominion and province the South likely will receive the major proportion. "Expenditures for Northern developâ€" ment alone last year were $19,000 000, and early indications are that the total for maintenance and new work will be limitsd to $3,500,000, which includes $1,500,000 for ordinary maintenance of existing highways. "Ssouthern Ontario members of legislature have been demanding Visiting Parliamentarians Delighted with the North "The limiting of road work expendiâ€" ture in the province to slightly nmore than $6,000,000 for both Northern and Southern Ontario means almost a comâ€" plete shutâ€"down of public works in the North, itâ€" is indicated. It is not exactly a bright picture thai is painted 3y the following despate from Toronto. Fortunately, however, there is still hope to believe that things will not be quite so bad as painted here. The following is what the despatch says :. Claims Road Grants Slashed to Minimum If possible the committse would like troops to bring their own camping equipment, however endeavour is being made to secure some tents. As Cubs will be billetted, it will be necessary that the committee know how many are plenning to attend and stay overnight. It is hoped that Timmins Cubs will plan to return home each night. FEach troop should get it‘s axe and crossâ€"cut saw sharpened and bring it along. Despatch f r o m Toronto Fears Virtual Shutâ€"down of Work in the North. Bpinners are asked to bring their ropes. It is hoped all troops and packs will practice the above songs. Poles and boughs for the woodcraft patrol will be supplied and an alder swamp is just outside the rink where extra sticks may be cut. The Model bridge should be large enough to properly demonstrate all lashings. The "Trees" for tree felling Will likely be 6" butts. A chance for all Scouts and Cubs to meet and play together. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO the iâ€" The South African War Veterans in the North plan to have another of their annual reâ€"unions at Kirkland Lake at the Legion headquarters on May 30th. Every year for severai years past these veterans have held their reâ€"union in the North, usually at Kirkland Lake. Last year, however, the reâ€"union wWas at Timmins, but a number of the Vetâ€" erans from the Kirkland Lake area were unable to be present, while for some odd reason there are not as many Scuth African Veterans in this camp as at Kirkland. Probably it is because this is a young man‘s country. In any event any South African War veterans here look upon the veterans of other wars as mere youngsters. Some of the S.A. mssn were also in the Great War, ‘but they still say: "Oh, yes, the Great War was a struggle, all right, but for a real war, you had to be in South Afâ€" rica. That was a war.‘"‘ The reâ€"union last year was a very hanpy occasion throughcout and the S.A. Veterans from all over the North were delighted with the visit to Timmins and the several Vetz2srans in this part played the part of hosts in very pleasing way. This year‘s reâ€"union at Kirkland Lake is hoped to be the biggest and best yet. General Swift, president of the Canaâ€" dian Lsgion at Kirkland Lake, is presiâ€" dent of the South African War Vetâ€" erans of the North. A. C. Brown, of Timmins, and J. Cotcher, Schumacher, are among the S.A. Veterans in this camp. Tz Work Now in Progress at the Golden Gate Property 8. A. Pain, consulting engineer for Golden Gate Mining Company, is now on the property with a crew of men rehabilitating the surface plant. Mr. Pain, who is largely responsible for bringing Bidgood Kirkland through to its present advanced stage, reporting to local officials, stated that he expects to have the plant ready for full scale cperation early next week. The shaft will be dewatered immediately and acâ€" tive underground development may be expect:d to .get under way within the next two or three weeks. South African Veterans to Meet at Kirkland, May 30 Mr. Pain further reports that the surâ€" face crew has uncovered a vein of conâ€" sidera>sle length in which appreciable quantitics of free gold were in eviâ€" dence. Further work will be done on this showing to determine its, true length and width and values. Brampton Conservator:â€"The duty on sugar so much complained of is reâ€" tained by the present government, but the duty on brandy is reduced $1.00 a gallon. Junior Gold Securities, sponsors of Bidgood Kirkland, has made available sufficient funds to carry out the enâ€" larged development campaign, and work in this connection is well under way. Directors of Kirkland Lake Golf club have chosen as president for 1936 season E. W. Todd to succeed C. Earl Rodgers, who piloted the organization last year. Chairman of various committees were selected as follows: M. W. Hotchkin, greens and maintenance; H. H. Hawley, entertainment; M. W. Summerhayes, House committee; A. L. Blomfileld, hanâ€" dicaps; Archie Rowes, membership; Greorge Doggett, finance and C. Earl Rodgers, caddies.

"Cheques for creoasoted timber orderâ€" ed for use in building bridges in‘ Norâ€" thern Ontario have been held up pendâ€" ing a study of the need for this maâ€" terial, Hon. Mitchell Hepjurn stated toâ€"day. This investigation is being conâ€" ducted by Hon. T. B. MeQuesten, minâ€" ister of highways. The department â€"of northern developmsent which formerly looked after road building in the North was recently amalgamated with the deâ€" partment of highways. It is this amalâ€" gamation that is leading to investigaâ€" tion into various activities of the old department, Mr. McQuesten told The Star. "Of course, we are investigating everything as we take it over," the minâ€" ister declared. "I can truthfully say we haven‘t discovered anything out of the way yet. Soa I don‘t know what the papers are talking about when they say that there are rumours that grave irregularities have been uncovered. We cortainly haven‘t discovered them. Or if we have I don‘t know about them." Mr. Hepburn, who just returned from the North, stated he was further satisâ€" fied of the need for roads into mines. These roads will be built by the federal and provincial governments with a view to cpening up sections of the North where large ore beodies are known to "A visitor in the city this weekâ€"end who may return to give a concert here was Sidney Schmerling, concert violinâ€" ist, a native of Regina, who in the course of his career has played with the Seattle and Los Angeles Symphony orchestras, and who has also toured the Orient, playing in such cities as Yokohama, Tokio and Shanghai. has also played on international radio programmes. Mr. Schmerling, a perâ€" sonal friend of Dr. Harry Magder, statâ€" ed that he was delighted to see the progress his disciple had made in music since he saw him last. Anne, his sister, travels with him, and he is now staying with his parents at Schumacher." In a first page item in its Tuesday‘s issue The Northern News, of Kirkland Lake, says:â€" Elsewhere in this issus will be found an â€"item from The Mail and Empire suggesting that there mcours at Queen‘s Park, Toronto, of irregularities in the Northern Developâ€" ment.
