The Ferguson highway is taking about 95 per cent. of the road approâ€" priation of this district, and will conâ€" tinue to do so for a few years yvet, while there are settiers throughout the counâ€" try starving to death waiting for any kind of a road to market.their produce. Now, if the people keep crying for new trunk roads and belt line roads to farâ€"off places, we will never get our present roads improved or our much needed roads for the settlers. Dear Mr. Eqditor:â€"I read in your paper from time to time lengthy artiâ€" cles advocating belt line roads as a road to Sudbury. Your interest in this respect is very worthy and your articles apâ€" pearing on the subject are truly comâ€" mendable. There is no gainsaying that the country would be somewhat imâ€" proved by the installation of the costly improvements, and a few people localâ€" ly would benefit exceedingly, especially those with axes to.grind along the proâ€" posed right of way, and also the tourâ€" ists would avail themselves of these belt line roads. _They would also avail themselves of it if there were a road to Timhbuctoo. I think the best policy would be to consolidate that portion of the country we are using at the present time, or at least not open up any more townships for settlement until such time as the Government has caught up on the roaf@â€"building, and the present roads in fairly passableâ€"condition. There is only so imuch money set aside annually for road building and upkeep and if this is spent on new belt line roads through virgin country just to accommodate some foreign tourists and leave our muchâ€"prized citizens to stand gaping at a settled track past ther homesteads, or perhaps just a slashed right of way, or no road at all, thon we should only have farms and a lack of farmers in the country. Farmers here for ten years still packâ€" In an editoral note last week The Advance said that this week a letter from a settler in regard to roads for the settlers would be published, together wth some comments. Here is the letter:â€" The Porcupine Advance Timmins, Ont. And now for the comment! So that there may be no misunderâ€" standing of the attitude of The Adâ€" vance in the matter, the statement is made here flatly and positively that if chere is to be any choice between roads for the settlers or belt lines or highâ€" ways, then The Advance is unequivoâ€" cally for roads for the settlers. Ths has been the stand of The Advance for yearsâ€""that roads for the settlers There is an old saying to the effect that you can‘t believe half the lies you hear. This makes a proper preface to the following bunch of nature notes collected and edited by the "Little of Everything" column in The North Bay Nugget last week:â€"â€" "A Blezard farmer reports that he was driving along the road when a rabbit dashed out of the weeds, ran playfully beside his car, as a dog does, and snapped at his tires. sSOME AMUSING NATURE NOTES OF ODD ANIMALS "A late camper in the Adirondacks gives out that a porcupine slipped into his cabin one night and crawled under the blankets with him.

WILLIAM FINLAYSON HAS LAKE NAMED IN HIS HONOUR Clearwater Lake in the Rainy River district of Ontario will hereafter be officially called Finlayson Lake. This is the decision of the Dominion Geoâ€" graphic Board, the decision being offiâ€" cially announced in the Canada Gazâ€" ette recently. The lake is so named in honour of Hon. Wm. Finlayson, Minisâ€" ter of Lands and Forests in the Ontario Government. The Geographic Board has the authority to make offical changes in place names and to seek new names for new places. Sometimes, however, the naime chosen by the public at large whi‘l‘e another name is insisted upon in practice. For inâ€" stance the city near Omemee is officiâ€" ally designated by the Board as "Peterborough," but few indeed write it other than "Peterboro." Toronto is officially known as Toronto, but literâ€" ally thousands insist on calling it "Trantah." "New Liskeard" is usually cut "Liskeard." You can lead a horse to water but you can‘t make him drink. And by the same token you may call a lake Lake Finlayson, but the pesple may persist in calling it "Fin Lake," or "Finny Lake." Letter from a Settler With Some Comments on the Same. Roads for Settlers Should be Admitted by all to be the Big Consideration. â€"Ruilding of Reads for Settlers to be Given Special Attention by Government. x their groceries home in a packsack Think it over! THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO is the most pressing need of the North. For years past The Advance has perâ€" sistently and consistently advocated roads for the settlers. But The Adâ€" vance believes that highways and belt lines also are required. Both should be built and The Advance is confident that this North Land will before long have both the belt line of roads and the roads for the settlers. The building of the roads for the settlers will be helpâ€" ea alongs by the buillding of the highway and the belt line of roads Outside of the very needed service the highway is giving and that the proâ€" posed belt line of roads will give, it is surely a fact that the highways and belt line increase the interest in the country and make it easier to secure the attention of outsiders to the need for roads for ‘the settlers. Eefors the highway was built there seemed to be hosts of people in the south who did not realize that there was any need for any kind of roads in this country. Now Premier Ferguâ€" son has been able to appeal to the proâ€" vince cin this plea:â€"‘"We have built the main highways and now we are goâ€" ing to give special attention to the side roads and roads for settlers." The siand of The Advance, it may be repeated, is that BOTH the belt line ofi and the other roads for setâ€" tlers should be built in the very near future. The argument that the one only may be built does not seem sound. It is true enough that there "is just so much money to be expended," but the amount to be expended in this North should be increased to such an extent that there will be enough to go round. As a matter of fact the proposed belt line of roads is not to be "built through virgin country." Much of the proposed route is now in active use for road purâ€" poses. Some of it is good for motor traffic. Some of it is "roads for setâ€" tlers." All of it is already cut out. It is simply a question of connecting up. The belt line of roads would actually link up a‘ll the mining camps of the North and would give many settlers access to good markets. The Advance intends to continue to advocate the belt line of roads as a big advantage to the Nonth Land generally. It intends also to advocate, as in the past, roads for settlers. For a dozen years past The Advance has been urgâ€" ing the building of roads for the settlers n generalâ€"â€"and in particularâ€"singling cut individual cases where roads are specially needed. . The Advance urges grants for rural schools, without sugâ€" gesting that grants should be given to town educational institutions. Both have to have attention, and the idea is that all concerned should work together to achieve the needs of all for the advantage of the whole North and the benefit of the province in general. The following from a recerss issue of The Barrie Examiner may be of interâ€" ag% as showing one way to secure the coâ€"cperation of parents in making the curfew bell law effedtive and getting children off the streets at night. The Examiner says:â€" "Walkerton police charge $1.00 «tme round trip for taking children home after the curfew bell has sounded. The ukc dA ds ringing of the curfew in that town has been a case of "on again, off again, Finnegan," but of recent date there nas been a fresh demand from the mothers o‘ the town and the practice has been resumed with the understanding that the police be compensated for acting as nursemaids, and the charge being inâ€" creased by one doliar a trip,. The reaâ€" son for this, it is stated, is to promole soâ€"operation of the parents, the prosâ€" pect of parting with hardâ€"earned cash beinz designed ito keep parenis on the jo5 after nine in the evening instead of hiking off to the picture show. In the case of one mother, at least, the demand o ring the curfew ‘has acted as a bo>mâ€" srang. She was cne of the curfew‘s gtirongest supporters until the other day whien the police called to collect a dolâ€" lar for bringing her child home while she was out calling on neighbours. Now the lady is not nearly so strong for the curfew, but the Heraldâ€"Times says that unless the Chief goes through with his programine and shows that the law has teeth he will find that the ringing of the curfew is a formality that will give him more exercise than it will cause kiddies concern."

Good speed and clean proofs on machine,. Reason for change: editor‘s son home from colâ€" lege." ORILLIA‘S DOCTOR STREET ONE PROBLEM SOLVED of steel, Mileage 961 on the T. N. O. extension north of Cochrane to Blackâ€" smith Rapids as soon as humanly posâ€" sible, so as to have camps completed and the working crews fully housed beâ€" for winter sets in. It is expected the road will be completed and the men under camp cover by December 1. An interesting note is to the effect that instead of the usual woiyl heaters, stoves are being put in the camps with the idea of utilizing the lignite for fuel purroses throughout the winter. It is also possible that the lignite may be used for fuel under the boilers to supply steam power for sinking operations. Information from Cochrane this week is to the effect that the plans of the Ontario Departmenit of Mines are to sirk three shafts within the two square miles area covered by diamond drilling, each shaft to a depth of about 75 for the purpose of taking out bulk samples from which to make test shipâ€" ments of ‘the product. Purther interâ€" est attaches to the fact that recently L. and N. 0. surveyors, under P. J. Maher, have been engaged in relocating a line for the further extension of the T. and N. O. Railway from its present teorâ€" minal at Mileage 964 toward James Bay. Previous surveys of the proposed extension would have taken the line in a northwesterly direction, but if the present tentative survey is decided on it would mean the exten‘sion of the line in a northeasterly direction, following the Abitibi River and passing in cloce proximity to the operations of the Deâ€" partment. The activity of the T. and N. O. engineers is accepited in Cochâ€" rane as an indication of the Governâ€" ment‘s intention to procced with the completicon of the road to James Bay in the near future. To assist in the development of the lignite fields north of Cochrane road is being cut out and graded from the end of the steel to Blacksmith Rapids where the coal deposits is locaited. This roadway will handle the transâ€" portation until such time as the railâ€" way line is constructed. It is hoped to have the road completed from the end According to references made in some of the outside newspapers there has been considerable Giscussion recently over the method of administering the operation of the new lignite fields in the event of tests indicating an indusâ€" try of comntfercial importance. Linked closely with the discovery of the beds of lignite is also the fact that large deposits of â€"iron ore of an even higher grade than that of Michipicoten, have been investigated and reported on near the Mattagami River. In some quarâ€" ters it is rumored that the operation of the lignite discoveries in conjunction with the iron deposits might be turned over to a Commission similar to the administrative body of the T. and N. O.. On the other hand it is argued that the entry of the Government into a mining venture would be as popular as in the case of the T. and N. O. Railâ€" way, which was originally built as a colonization road and was mainly reâ€" sponsible for opening up the mining fields of Ccobalt, Porcupine and the Gowganda silver area.
