This sight was on the North Bayâ€"Calâ€" lander highway, a couple of miles north of Callander, when a big bull moose put up a battle with a wire fence with which he had become entangled. The moose was caught by the head by the wire, and he tore backwards and forâ€" wards in his efforts to free himself. Every time the big fellow moved something just had to give. It was a battle royal and was watchedâ€"from a safe distanceâ€"by a large number of motorists, As usual, there were those who wanted to shoot the wild animal, but instead of this being done someâ€" one went after the district game wardâ€" en. Before the game warden reached the scene, however, the moose had freed himself, and the fence was far from what it once was. The fence was torn for some distance on either side of the place where the moose was trapâ€" ped.

The criticism of Messrs Sinclair and Legault was given at a banquet tenderâ€" ed Mr. Sinclair and party while in Haileybury on their tour of the North. About a hundred men and women from Haileybury, Cobalt and New Liskeard were present at the banquet. During the course of his address at the event Mr,. Sinclair made a vigorous attack on what he termed the Ferguson Govâ€" ernment‘s failure to extend the T. N. O. railway seventeen miles from Timmins into the Kamiskotia copper and gold field. Mr. Sinclair declared that the railway extension for which Timmins now is agitating had now been held up a year, the government asking for a guarantee of $60,000 a year before it would build. "The people here," Mr. Sinclair said, ‘"must look forward to some one else than Premier Ferguson if they are to develop Northern Ontario and if the districts now unsurveyed and unprosâ€" pected are to come within the territory of the T. and N. O." "This request," said Mr. Sinclair, "has been waiting for a year and yet it stands unanswered except for the guarantee required. Surely a governâ€" ment can find out in a year whether conditions warrant an extension such as this. Surely a government which claims to be so superior, so supreme, as the Ferguson government which stands so strongly for the people in every item and detail, can say to the people of Timmins and the surroundâ€" ing section: ‘We do not believe this extension is warranted and we cannot build this railway.‘ Or on the other hand the government could say: ‘We have investigated this situation for a year and we shall go ahead and build "No guarantee has even been asked by a government before other than the guarantee of the faith of the people of Ontario. The people of New Ontario have faith in this railway and that should be enough for any governâ€" ment. it and it will be a means of colonizaâ€" tion and development.‘ But no, the government said: ‘Put up a cash guarantee and we shall build a railâ€" way.‘ "The idea of the T. and N. O. never has been the same as the C.P.R., to have dividends for shareholders," he continued. "It was colonization, it was development, it was opening up a new country. .One can see that the work of this railroad is not finally done beâ€" cause there are still large districts aâ€" waiting development. PREMIER ANSWERS ATTAGK OF SINGLAIR AND OTHERS Sinclair Scores Delay in Carrying Railâ€" way Into Kamiskotia Area. Reâ€" ply Made by Premier. At Haileybury last week W. E. N. Sinclair, leader of the Liberal opposiâ€" tion in the Ontario Legislature, attackâ€" ed what he considered the delay in constructing raillway line to Kamisâ€" kotia. Mr. Legault, M.P.P., Sturgeon Falls, also had a complaint to the efâ€" fect that money earmarked for Northâ€" ern Development work, was spent south of North Bay. At Toronto last week the premier, Hon. G. H. Ferguson, anâ€" swered the attacks. "The people of the North know that we always investigate before we do anything," declared Premier Ferguson when informed of W,. E. N. Sinclair‘s announcement regarding the Kamisâ€" kctia extension. "If there is merit in a project we are always willing to unâ€" dertake it. Every consideration must be given first." "The only answer to such charges is that he has had three sessions in which he could appear in the public accounts and say what he thinks is wrong," said the premier, when shown the charge made by Theo Legault, Liberal M.P.P. for Sturgeon Falls, that halif the money spent for northern road Gdevelopment in Northesrn Ontario under the northâ€" ern development grant was spent south of North Bay. "Those charges are made now when they are easier to make," added the premier. "If Mr. Legault would make them in public accounts committee he would find answers for them." "I am not holding any brief for the Hollinger company or for any one else," Mr. Sinclair averred, "but I am going through this country studying condiâ€" tions. Here is a government asking a guarantee on a colonization railroad. Why should the government take that attitude in regard to this extension. If a guarantee had been asked in the first instance the T. and N. O. would never have begon built." Mr.‘Sinclair suggested ironically that Hon. Mr. Ferguson had not needed urging to go into the Rouyn field. Mr. Sinclair claimed that a large amount of public monsy had been wasted by the premier‘s ‘"‘anxiety‘" on this score. "Yet," he added, "all the time the preâ€" mier was trying to get the road into Rouyn that territory was being served by the C.P.R." "I am afraid that Mr. Sinclair would leap in befere he had considered a proposition," added the premier. "He would go ahesad and build and consider afterwards." Mr. Sinclair sugested that a comâ€" mittee of businessmen from each ridâ€" ing should advise the government of local matters. "What is needed, I think," he said, "is a nonâ€"party committee in each northâ€" ern riding to advise and suggest what should be done for the North. That leads naturally to the desire for greatâ€" er representation which, I believe, must soon some for the North. The large ridings here cannot be covered as efâ€" fectively as they should. That is why THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO Theodore Legault, M.P.P. for Sturâ€" geon Falls, who joined the party here this morning, criticizing the northern development expenditures, asserted that much of the sums granted by the legislature never reach Northern Onâ€" tario. i suggest an advisory committee in each riding." "I always thought," he said, "that the Ferguson highway started at North Bay. But thousands of dollars of norâ€" thern development money are being spent on Yonge street around Barrie, upon roads at Palmerston, Owen Sound, Orillia and Gravenhurst." Mr. Legault also attacked the apâ€" portionment of educational funds. "There is more being spent upon 100 | pupils in Old Ontario than on 1,000 pupils in New Ontario," he said. Colonization, â€"said Mr. Legault, had' made‘ no progress in the last ten years. "I challenge the government," he exâ€" | claimed, "to show how many settlers | have been brought into New Ontario and how many have gone out during| that time." Mr. Legault urged the people of New Ontario to do their own ccolonizing and not depend upon the | government bringing in people from| overseas or elsewhere. } Important government <announceâ€" ments no longer were made to the legislature, Dr. McQuibban ~declared. "If the premier has any policy to enunciate," said the speaker, "he makes Dr. George A. McQuibban, M.P.P. for Northeast Wellington, characterized the premier as "the professional lifeâ€" saver of the government" who rallied to the rescue whénever a minister of the cabinet got into deep water in the legislature. "Itâ€"is a oneâ€"man governâ€" ment, ladies and gentlemen," Dr. Mcâ€" Quibban stated. "It is a modern autoâ€" cracy."

N. 0. into Kamâ€" iskotia from Porcupine would be hanâ€" dled by him on safe and sane lines for the benefit of the whole country was the statement made here today by W. O. Langdon, president of the Timmins Board of Trade. Mr. Langdon was on his way home after interviewing the Premier. He said that Mr. Ferguson had intimated he would reserve furâ€" ther announcement until after the deâ€" putation from Timmins, which is going down next week, had presented its views on the subject. The value of the exâ€" tension to the lumbering interests had been stressed by Mr. Langdon. He said that eight or nine townships in the Kamiskotia region still had the timber right vested in the Crown, but that it would be necessary to dispose of them in the near future. Building of the railâ€" way would give operators a better chance to cut the timber and Mr. Langâ€" don estimated that the Government, because of the better price which could be obtained, would be ahead about $4,000,000 extra in stumpage. It would mean also that poplar could be cut as, under present conditions, this wood was of little value, as the mill at Smooth Rock Falls did not handle it and the Mattagami river was the only method of transportation."
