The various seeâ€" tions of the country have agreed on tlie route that the highway should follow and regarding the general type of the road.

It is an odd and interesting fact th‘iat the only other resolutions formally submitted for dis as required by the Constituâ€" tion have been put in hy Iroquois Falls and District Board of Trade. This latter Board of Trade is a partâ€" icularly active and thoughtful body and has been fdoing very effective work not only for Iroquois.Falls and districtsbut also for the whole North Land. The uestions submitted in this instance by the Iroquois Falls and Dis trict Board of Trade, have a wide inâ€" terost and importance to the North: Land. of them relates to the matter of fire protection in this counâ€" try; another deals with the question of collective bargaining. The Highâ€" way proposition no doubt will take precedence of all other questions. It is intended to complete the plans for| themselves. Because~of the fact that all these things are clearly recognizâ€" ed by the various Boards of Trade in the District, the Associated Boards of Trade is coming in for special attenâ€" tion and thought and interest at this time, having entered energetically and thoroughly into the proposal for a North Land higchwav.

D Mes The annual meeting of the Temiskâ€" aming Associated Boards of Trade is announced as to take place in Timâ€" mins on Friday of this week, October ist. This should prove a very imâ€" portant gatherfing in the interests of the North Land. The Associated Boards of Trade of®Temiskaming is simply a union of.all the loeal Boards of Trade for concerted action on matâ€" ters of mutual benefit or interest. Prac tically every Board of :Trade or similâ€" ar ‘organization in the District beâ€" longs to the Associated Boards of Trade, and at‘ present there is much interest shown by all these different local Boards of Trade in the work of the Associated _ Boards of Trade. Perhaps, the chief reason for this speâ€" cial display of interest in the work of th;e Associated Boards of Trade is the fact that recently the Associatcd Boards of Trade has ‘been taking up tie question of a highway for the North Land. This is a question that the North Land in all its parts and! divisions, generally greets with tlife greatest enthusiasm. It is generally felt that the keynote of the North Land‘s prozress and prosperity and| convenience is this same matter. of good roads.
