Sir: We have noticed several articâ€" les re the Ferguson highway. The latâ€" est mentions the publishing of a pamâ€" phlet boosting this road. Now, we, on the spot, could suggest spending this on the road. So far there isn‘t any work being done on this road for a long distance, one hundred _ miles, right here. This road will be a great benefit, but just now we can‘t get to our nearest town, because of a few parts of the road that aren‘t finished. If the people, all over the country, could realize what a wonderful counâ€" try this north country is, there‘d be more capital and more Englishâ€"speakâ€" ing peoples coming in. We find our greatest needs are neighbors and the cash to speed the land to greater devâ€" elopment. Mrs. J. E. Weatherhead, Mattice, Ont. oPENO MGNEY ON RIGHWAY NSTEAD OF PAMPALETS at the time to put the road in conâ€" dition. It should be remembered that the highway can not lbe considered as properly completed until it is in far better shape than at the present time. The North has a number of roads known as ‘‘winter roads,‘‘ good only for a few months w hon the snow is on the ground. The Fergu»on highâ€" way might be classed as a ‘*‘summer road,"‘ good only for a month or two “hen the weather is dry. Another point worthy of note is that pamphlets are necessary to atâ€" tract tourists to the country and at the proper time pamphlets of the proper kind will make a very profitâ€" able nyestmont But the important thing ‘ for the present is to get the road in shape so that it will not be a poor advertisement for the country. Advice of Lady in the North Land in Letter to Toronto LNewspaper. The letter referred to, as published in The Toronto Star last week, is as follows. It‘s moral might be said to be.â€" ‘*All attention and expenditures should be given now to getting the Ferguson highway in proper shape.‘‘ To the Editor of The Star. Under the heading, **Ferguson Highway,‘‘ last week The Toronto Star published a brief but pointed letter regarding the main roadway of this North Land. The letter suggests that instead of spending money on pamphlets about the highway the money be used to fix the road. It may be noted that the price of the pamphlets issued would ‘not do much to help put the road in good shape.

Naturally, there have been a larige number of complaints made in the past month or two in regard to the condition of the Ferguson highway. Nothing else sould well be expected under the cireumstances. Autos from the South coming here have found much difficulty in making the trip, while several cars leaving â€" Timmins for motor trips have turned vack rather than tackle some strips of the roadway. Recently the highway has been much better. Several using it last week say it is fine, except in a couple of places, and that these bad places are being fixed. This would support the tlwor\ of Hon. Wm. Finlayson, Minister of Lands and Forests, under whose department the highway is placed. Hon. Mr. Finlayson blames the condition of the road on the weather which has been extreme, all right, this year. A wet fall, an unusual snowfall, and a wet spring have made conditions bad at certain places along the highway. â€" Hon. Mr. Fimayson said in a recent interview, but he added that engineers are locating these ‘*boiling spots"‘ with a view to draining them and effectively repairâ€" ing them. The same interview credits him with saying:â€" ‘‘You ean‘t travel the Ferguson highway and hope to find the condition the same as in Southern Ontario. Why this road has only been a year. â€" Why compare it with roads that are 100 yvears old ?2"" PORESTRY PLANES AGAIN USE WIRELESS EQUIPMENT Word this week from Toronto says that the Ontario Forestry Dvparlment is resuming use of wireless equipment BLAMES THE WEATHER fun CGONDITION OF R2A0 Timmins Ont.
