Young Ambassadors Much Impressed With Dominion People in Timmins remember with much pleasure the visit here last sumâ€" mer of the Young Ambassadors of Emâ€" pireâ€"fifty keen young men and fifty bright young ladies, who toured Canada under the auspices of the Allied Newsâ€" papers of Great Britain, in coâ€"operâ€" ation with the Canadian National Railways, the Canadian Pacific Railâ€" way and a number of the steamship companies. These young people were full of enthusiasm, health and good spirits and entered with zest into all the activities of the trip. They unâ€" doubtedly had a good time, but it was equally apparent that they had their eyes open and noted everything with keen attention and lively consideration. The people of Timmins liked the Young Ambassadors, and the same may be said with safety in regard to all the people in the towns visited on the tour. Accordingly, there will be inâ€" terest in what the Young Ambassadors thought of the Dominion and its peoâ€" ple, after they had returned home and had had time to think over the trip and its incidents. "Infinite Variety the Most Wonderful Thing About Canâ€" ada," Says British Young Lady in Prize Essay. Canada Appears "Not One Country But Many." Nature Has Been Very Kind to Canada, the Young Ambassadors of Canada Assert. After the return of the Young Amâ€" bassadors to Britain, prizes were offerâ€" ed for the best essays on the trip. The essay that won the first prize is a striking article on Canada, written by Miss Mollie Rushton, Great Harwood, near Blackburn, England. Under the title, "Whet I Think of Canada,‘" Miss Rushton writes:â€" "‘The most wonderful thing about Canada is her infinite variety. To the traveller she appears not one country, but many. Sailing up the St. Lawâ€" rence he comes to a quaint, Old France; then, in the Maritimes, to a greenâ€" pleasant England, to North wilderness, one day to be one of the world‘s richest mining districtsâ€"to Niagaraâ€"a sunny land of fruit trees and blue waters.

Yet, travelling on one great national railway, among people of the same tongue and the same ideals, he sees these various countries without the discomforts of customs barriers, exchanges, differing l;languages and national characteristics. \__"One is impressed, too, by Canada‘s towns and cities with their clear, unâ€" polluted air, their wide clean streets, their noble public buildings, their schools and colleges beautifully situâ€" ated and splendidly equipped, their wellâ€"keept homes and gardens. Who, having once seen them can forget the stately buildings of Ottawa, the busy streets of Toronto, Winnipeg‘s broad thoroughfares or the beautiful situaâ€" 'tion of Vancouver? | "But to me, it seems that the deepâ€" est impression of Canada which the visitor receives is that made by her :people. Despite the vast size of Canâ€" \adaâ€"despite the many races which ‘have gone to form her peopleâ€"there {is a nation of Canadians as surely as ‘there is one of English or French. The jearly settlers went out from every \country of Europe to make a home for ,themselves in the New World; and from this amalgamation of British, \French, German, Italian, Scandinavian ‘and others, has evolved the Canadian. Retaining some of the qualities of all ‘these races, he is yet different from ‘them allâ€"a new type, remarkable for |\his hospitality, his good fellowship, his ;joy in life, his abounding optimism, and \his supreme confidence in himself and ‘his country. "Nature has indesed been kind to Canada.

"HMalf a century ago, where Vancouâ€" ver now stands, was virgin forests; and prairie grasses grew over the site of Winnipeg. Fifty years have witnessâ€" ed phenomenal changes. With her vast resources as yet but lightly touchâ€" ed, it is certain that the next fifty years will leave Canada incomparably greaterâ€"one among the ruling nations of the earth." The second prize was won by Miss Ruth E. Newbigging, of West Kilbride, Ayrshire, Scotland. Her essay is also of very special interest. As a title to her article she took the words, "Why I Should Like to Live in Canadsa!" Her essay was as follows:â€" "Canada offers an irresistible appeal, alike as far as I know, to young and old. During my trip across the counâ€" try I did not hear a single person exâ€" press the opinion that life in the Old Country was the better. The charm thus appeals to both natives and settâ€" lers. "It is this alluring appeal that makes me wish already that I lived in Canâ€" ada, I love the Canadian spirit of hosâ€" pitality and welcome, and the entire lack of that stiff formality which makes us Englanders stand aloof from each other. First and foremost, this feeling of equality and friendliness draws me to Canada. "Apart from tne people altogether Canada is a smiling an« inviting land. There are chances for all. And in a country of such vast dimensions there are surroundings to suit all. We must indeed have strange tastes who cannot find something to his liking between the shores of the Altantic and Pacific. "My difficulty would be in choosing a place to settle. I was so charmed everywhere I went. The towns are so modern and so handsome, while the rural districts are more beautiful if not quite so advanced. Nature has been good to Canada in more ways than one. "From a home point of view I envy Canadian housewives the facilities that boundess electricity offers. Canada is far ahead of us in labourâ€"saving deâ€" vices and thus in its homes drudgery is minimized.

The preâ€" sident, A. K. Roberts said that while the scheme had not gone very far vet mining men did not entirely scout the idea. Dr. Armstrong quoted facts and figures to uphold the plan, while Capt. Jeffrey, of Haileybury, said that he had a man ready to finance the proposiâ€" tion if it could be got going. Mr. Geo. T. Smith, of Haileybury, thought that both Haileybury and New Liskeard should get behind Cobalt in the plan proposed, and that the plan should be submitted to the annual meeting of the Northern Ontario Associated Boards of Trade at New Liskeard on Tuesâ€" day, Nov. 27th. Mr. Carl Reinhardt pointed out that both refining .and smelting processes are required for North Land ores. He figured that the Noranda smelter would handle only its own ores and those of its subsidiaries. Cheap power and cheap coal were mentioned as two of the requisites to make a smelter pay. The matter will be placed before the Northern Ontario Associated Boards this week. At the banquet, the Cobalt Board of Trade also adopted a resolution calling | on the Federal Government to pro-; ceed with the canalization of the| French River which would mean that, lake boats could come through to| North Bay.
