Such a progress will never get us a road through. A road is the surest development to this North. Perhaps, you might consider the sugâ€" gestion of definite contracts for 1927 under definite specifications, as I am convinced the present method you have on road building here, where you hire from hand to mouth, and at such low fees, is practically money wasted. The road to Iroquois Falls to here, or south to Ramore, or west to Cochrane. are serviceable only when dry. Consider the money spent as you have spent it and with such minor results. I hope it is your intention to get actively to work, on this business and getting an‘ autoâ€" mobile driveway through to Swastika. I understand Cobalt will reach the North Bay extension by next Septemâ€" ber. How far will you have us on the way to Swastika?"‘ Hon. Mr. Ferguson in his reply said:â€"‘‘I note what you say About the method of handling road construcâ€" tion. I am sending a copy of your letter to Mr. .Finlayson, the Minisâ€" ter in charge of that Department, so that he may have your views before him."‘‘ is with each one of us if nothing is accomplished. Collectively, we must make ourselves felt. We need to get in the tugâ€"ofâ€"war spirit that Coâ€" balt has to see our road travel. Mr. Woodbury suggests that anyâ€" one who feels an interest in the quesâ€" tion should write to Premier Ferguâ€" son. ‘‘You won‘t get things going until you do,"‘‘ says Mr. Woodbury. ""It is largely a matter of individual interest and effort as to our progress in the above connection. The blame Mr. Vincent Woodbury, of Timâ€" mins, has allowed The Advance to peruse corresdpondence he ‘had with Premier Ferguson and Hon. Mr. Finlayson, Minister of Lands and Forests, relative to the completion of the (North Land Highway. Mr. Woodbury intends to take up the question with the Northern Ontario Associated Boards of Trade. and he urges every citizen to take a personal interest in the question. ‘*Right here is something that can be definiteâ€" ly accomplished, if all will get beâ€" hind the idea and actively work for it,"‘ says Mr. Woodbury. It may be noted in passing that the question of the North Land Highway was taken up years ago by the Nor. Ont. Asâ€" sociated Boards of, Trade and the efforts of that body had very materiâ€" al part in having a start made on this highway. _ Since the commencement of work on the highway the Northern Ontario Associated Boards of Trade have kept in very close touch with the progress of the work and have been unremitting in their efforts to have the work pushed along to comâ€" pletion. At the last meeting of the Associated Boards a resolution was passed asking the Government to comâ€" plete the roadway vefore July 1st of this year, if at all possible. In adâ€" dition the executive of the Associated Boards has brought the matter conâ€" stantly before the attention of the (Government. The Associated Boards have been ‘‘right on the job"‘‘ in reâ€" gard to the highway, and will welâ€" come any help in the mattel from other sources. Mr. V.

HIGHâ€"GRADE SAMPLES FROM RUN OF THE PRESS But neither the people nor the (Government should be content to let it rest. Every effort should be made by the Government to have the whole length of the highway completed and ready for actual use at the earlhiest possible moment. The general opinâ€" ion is that the best progress will not be made by the present plan of conâ€" struetion. It is felt that much more effective work could be done if conâ€" tracts were let. But the people are generally quite content to leave the matter of contracts or no contracts to the judgment of the Department. What the people do want, however, is a greater speed in the progress of construction. At the time the first announcement was made relative to the North Land highway. it was offiâ€" cially stated that by 1926 a man would be able to get into his car in Timmins, Iroquois Falls or Cochrane and drive right through to the King Edward Hotel at Toronto on a passâ€" able road. The year 1926 has passed by and the roadway still requires the combletion of several istretches pof road before it will be all linked up and available for the man who wants to go by motor car to the King Edâ€" ward or any place else in Toronto. What the people want mow is the completion of the highway at as early a date as possible. How short is pride! A few years to turn up your nose then you turn up your toes.â€"New York Evening Telegram.

Early in Januâ€" ary she delivers greetings to workers assembled at Indore to celebrate the mission‘s golden jubilee. In a recent novel by Countess Eleanor GiZcka there is a severe arâ€" raignment made of the game of poliâ€" ties. Perhaps the picture is exaggerâ€" ated, but so far as this continent is concerned there as at least ‘"*someâ€" thing in it."‘ Announcement to RED ROSE TEA Enthusiasts Saint John T. H. Estabrooks Co., Limited Unlike paper, Aluminum does not absorb moisture.. It preserves all the original flavor and strength. So now and in the future Red Rose Tea will be packed in the Aluminum package, as it was in years gone by. Having found the paper package unreliable and uncertain, we have again adopted the Aluminum package which we used years ago. For we know now that Aluminum can be better depended upon than any other. But careful tests over a long period prove that Aluminum is by far the best container that has yet been found, and paper packages of every kind the poorest.© When in contact with dampness paper absorbs moisture which soon affects the quality of the tea, and in some instances completely spoils it. In our 30 years experience putting up Red Rose Tea we have used all these containers and each has some particular merit. For many generations lead continued to be used as a protective package for all fine quality teas. Then the modern metal, Aluminum, was introduced. But during warâ€"time and later, paper bags and paper boxes were largely used and have held sway ever since. ENTURIES ago, when tea was first introduced to the English Nobility, the precious leavesâ€"then almost priceless â€"were packed in sealed lead containers. oronto Many people will agree with this rough condemnation of ‘‘politics‘‘ in general, but it should be remembered that politiecs like anything else is just what the people make it and what they are ready to support. The country that wants better politics has to start out with a better people.
