Ferguson will be glad to learn that he proposes to reâ€" main in public life. For some time there has been an impression that he would retire after the next election. His statement to the contrary made before the Conservative Businessmen‘s Club of Toronto, clears the air, thereâ€" fore, and will be most welcome to party organizers of the province. Preâ€" mier Ferguson has been so long in the public eye that it would be hard to disâ€" associate him from the office at Queen‘s Park. He got his training in politics under that able man, Sir James Whitney, and, like Sir James, he beâ€" lieves in being master in his own camp. Even enemies of the premier admit that he is an excellent strategist. His decision to remain at the head of Onâ€" tario affairs is an especially important one from the standpoint of provincial Conservatives who wou‘d be more or less lost without him." PLEASED THAT HON.

And George Lee was on the scene. Then he was only Claims Agent for the new railway. Today he is General Manager of the system and Chairman of the T. N. O. Commission, a position which he has filled with characteristic efficiency "If the little town of Calabogie in Renfrew County, Ont., never attains distinction on any other score, it will always retain the honour of having produced one man whose contribution to the advancement of his native proâ€" ince ranks with the greatest in its hisâ€" tory. The article in The Toronto Saturday Night is by Bruce M. Pearce and is as follows:â€" Several have asked The Advance, "Did you see that article on Geo. W. Lee in The Toronto Saturday Night?" Evidently there is more than passing interest in the writeâ€"up, some special attention being directed to the article because of the heading, "Lord of the North." It is not a particularly apt heading for an article on Geo. W. Lee chairman of the T. N. O. Railway commission, because he is a thoroughly democratic man. A former chairman of the commission would have worn the title with more appropriate relation to lordship. Geo. W. Lee has conducted the commission‘s affairs on a strictly business basis, making the business style that of the modern type where service, courtesy and kindness are feaâ€" tured and where red tape is dispensed with to the greatest possible extent. Writer Describes Geo. W. Lee As "Lord of the North Land Geo. W. Lee With the C.P.R in His Youth. First Posiâ€" tion with T. N. O. was as Claims Agent.

For he is a conscientious, hardâ€". working railwayman who puts duty: ahead of pleasure and who places the: welfare of the T. N. O. ahead of everything else. It is his child and he. is mighty proud of it. To go from one| end of the line to the other three times in one week is no unusual feat for him.: With the company‘s own telegraph and | telephone lines at his disposal he is enâ€" abled to transact much of his business "Up in North Bay he has been one of the fathers of the city. Mayor, Chairman of the Hospital Board, Masâ€" ter of the Masonic Lodge and a host of other offices he has filled with disâ€" tinction in bygone years. But he had done more than to execute official duâ€" ties. His heart would encompass the world and its troubles, and on more than one occassion when friction arose in organizations or among individuals, he has been the mediator. The extent of his charity is probably known only to himself. "He is an intimate of the Prime Minâ€" ister of Ontario and, strangely enough his bright eyes twinkling behind his spectacles give him a casual resemâ€" blance to the Hon. Howard Ferguson. Thereby hangs a tale. The Premier was touring Northern Ontario with George W. Lee as his host. One mornâ€"| ing they visited a small school in one! of the rugged settlements along the T. N. O. where the Premier had proâ€"| mised to stop. The young lady teacher having only seen the Premier in picâ€"| ture and caricature prior to this time, advanced quite assuredly upon the; General Manager of the T. N. O.| and addressed him: "We are so glad to! welcome you, Mr. Premier. The childâ€"| ren have been eagerly awaiting your, arrival and I would ask you if you| would now say a few words to them." Thereupon the pseudo Premier took the platform, offered a word or two of| encouragement to the youngsters and, generously, and amid thunderous ap-; plause, gave them a holiday for the reâ€", mainder of the day, all the while Hon. Mr. Ferguson looked on with astonishâ€". ment at the highly successful imperâ€" sonation perpetrated by his host. ‘Although on the sunnyside of sixty and otherwise young and vigorous in appearance, his hair has turned a silâ€" ver grey. He has a philosophy which urges him to obtain as much enjoyâ€" ment as possible from life and at the same time to make life more cheerful and less serious for those with whom he comes in contact. "George Lee was on the job when the urgent call came for a spur line into the newlyâ€"discovered gold territory in“ the Timmins and Porcupine districts; The paperâ€"making industry at Iroquois!f Falls found in him a ready and willâ€"| ing coâ€"operator;‘ under his guldance; the T.

One of the world‘s greatest story tellers, he has a natural wit and a fund of humour which, toâ€" gether with his wonderful personality have made him a widely sought guest in the North. His abundant store of information about that part of the proâ€" vince has been richly supplemented by his adventures with British lords, counts and duchesses, who have been guests of the T. N. O. from time to time. He has entertained the Prince of Wales. In the North about threeâ€"fourths of the people call him plain "George." They all know him and he knows the majority of them. His competitor and friend, W. B. Hay, divisional manager of the Canadian National Railway in Northern Ontario, recently paid him this tribute in a public address: ‘George Lee is the first citizen of New Ontario.‘ Certainly he is its best known and most popular one "George Lee was on the scene again that eventful day a year or so later when the steam shovels operating one hundred miles north of North Bay beâ€" gan to root up masses of silver and the famous Cobalt silver camp sprang inâ€" to being almost overnight. And down through the years he has been a silent partner of the mining men and the timber magnates who have sought to open up the fastnesses of the north and bring its fabulous wealth into acâ€" tive production. and tremendous energy for the past ten years during which time the railâ€" way has been placed on a paying basis in addition to having opened up New Ontario. "He will tell you he enjoyed hobnobâ€" bing with the lords and ladies but he had one rather exasperating experience with a certain Lord Blank. This genâ€" tleman was unusually hard of hearing and wore an ear trumpet. He took a great fancy to the General Manager and throughout the two day trip from North Bay to the end of the line, Mr. Lee spent the major part of his time at the mouth of the trumpt. In addiâ€" tion, he found it extremely difficult to understand the Englishman, so that under the double handicap scarcely a thought was conveyed in either direcâ€" tion. _ With his vocal powers almost exhausted Mr. Lee was happily anticiâ€" pating the farewells at Cochrane. But Lord Blank ruled otherwise. Evidently captivated with the personality of his host, he decided to leave the party and return to North Bay with him. Since that time the General Manager has not been so eager to pursue his acâ€" "During the summer of 1928 he was almost overwhelmed with nobility, havâ€" ing played host to the members of the Empire Parliamentary delegation and to Lord Lovat‘s party on different ocâ€" casions. That George Lee left his imâ€" press on these outstanding Britishers is indicated by the following telegram which Lord Lovat is said to have wired to Premier Ferguson: "Think North great for mixed farming.

In touch with all the senâ€" sational discoveries of fabulous minerâ€" al wealth, he could fill a book with incidents of a romantic, adventurous nature.
