Newspapers like The Toronto Glohs and The Toronto iMail Empire have more fairly taken the position (withâ€" out, of course, saying anything about this phase of the matter) that it is up to them to inform their nreaders, and on several oceasions they ‘have done this good work by special ediâ€" I/ that the North Land, somehow or ‘vtiuns of merit.

The specâ€" ial by The Free Press is a very creditâ€" 'uhle issue, _ and gives. innumerable acts and figures, in attractive fornm, regarding the North Land and its mining industry. The London Free ,Press is to be congratulated on the extent, accuracy and interest of the information presented. The London Free Press had a special staff writer visit the North, and this writer, Mr. W. E. Elliott, did his work in very effective fashion. One of the special articles written by Mr. W. E. Elliott makes it clear that the more or less popular of the â€" Nonth Land as a wild land, with Star wolves wandering about, is very far from the mark. ‘‘*No, the North isn‘t so veny wild,"‘ is the finding of The London Free Press representative, who adds that folks who seek Ontario‘s rugged life will have to travel north of Cocaâ€" rane. mm mm n mss m 1 \ | ine and fir e is in the forth:"" _ At Things work manlike our moder Big Brick Station Upsets His Preconceived Ideas of Timâ€" mins.

They recently passed into the hands‘of the Canadian Pacific Railway, which company took over the Canada Central lines in 1881, and will be added to a museum of relics connected with the early days of the railroad which is being formed in Montreal.

The first shock, atter a sight of the big brick station of the L. N.O., was that of paved streets. These were bright with elecâ€" tric lights; stones were all open, and }the sidewalks thronged. The town and suburbs hasâ€" a population of 12,000. In 1921 it had 6,000. It has spent $60,000 on street paving and widening; boasts three ‘‘regular‘‘ hotels and any mnumberâ€" of smaller ones; a new $120,000 high school and a Isrwanis Club. A new brick theaâ€" tre to accommodate 1,000 persons and costing $100,000, is almost completâ€" ed.

But Timmins has laid pavâ€" ing and made a lot of other improveâ€" ments.‘" Lang pointed out its new buildings, the homes of the Hollinger men, the high school, four public and three separate se ‘hools. The teaching staff in â€" Timmins numbers 58, .md next door in South Poreupine, are 12 more. The distriet chas solved its own peculiar problem in the matter of accommodaâ€" tion for teachers from outside by the erection of residences, where a group of teachers in a community may live in comfort, with their own cook and housekeeper. _ Householders _ in the North do not build homes with surâ€" plus rooms, as a rule, and the arâ€" rangement of â€" teachers‘ _ residences suts evervbodv. ‘*Gold is not appreciated for its worth,"‘ he said. ‘‘People do not realize its importance in relation to our trade balance and the position of the province generally."

Dr, Melunis gave the additional inâ€" fornmation that 95 per cent. of the buildings are occupied by the ownâ€" ers and only five per cent. rented: that since 1921 the gross assessment has nearly trebled, and the population this year will be nean the 13,000 mark, of whom 53 per cent. are foreignâ€"born and 47â€" per cent.
