It‘s been a long spell since this faction has been active, but don‘t be misled by believing that they haven‘t been doing something to keep to keep the sport to the fore. The Northern Ontario Ladâ€" ies‘ Softball Association is astir and plans for the annual reâ€"union will soon be in the making. The association, considering everything, had a successâ€" ful season in its inaugural year, but the big advance is looked for during the current season. It has proved to be a mighty task to cement relations beâ€" tween clubs as widely separated as Sault Ste. Marie and Pemâ€" broke, but the officials are convinced that they will succeed. Hearty coâ€"operâ€" ation on the part of the clubs concernâ€" ed will be required in order to perfect the organization and from experiences to date it has been learned that those in the extreme corners of the vast exâ€" panse are the most ready to lend a helping hand. One thing that must be kest in mind this season is that the playofis must be staged earlier than was the case last year. It matters not how long Southern Ontario clubs proâ€"» long their season, Northern Ontario‘s clime will not permit of gambling with the weatherâ€"man after September passes out. The handsome trophy awarded by Premier G. Howard Ferâ€" guson as a championship emblem is now being manufactured. It will be three feet high and will be one of the most valuable and highly prized bits of silverware in competition. It will bear a plaque of the donor. This part is being made in England." TRANSâ€"CANADA HIGHWAY â€" WILL HELP TOURIST TRADE Dominion‘s Main Street Will Pay Enormous Dividends, Because of Its Superiority in Scenery to all Other Types of Attracâ€" Readers in the North Land should be especially interested in the proposed motor road across Canada. The logical route for such a road seems to be through this part of the North Land, following the Ferguson highway. A. R. Mackay, in writing on the subâ€" ject in one of the Toronto newspapers says:â€" "The cost of the transâ€"Canada highâ€" way is not an insurmountable obâ€" stacle. Indeed, if the whole matter is viewed in the perspective of its imâ€" portance, the cost is of secondary conâ€" sideration. A first highway should be accomplished by building the links which are at present missing between existing lengths of highway. That would make travel by motor car Across Canada in a normal way, possible for the first time in history. It would be an epochâ€"making achievement and one well worth the cost. The motor traffic, however, which would be at once thrown upon it would demonstrate the immediate need of constructing A modern main motorway, broad, straight and of durable hard surface. The Right Hon. Mackenzie King told parâ€" liament last spring that according to engineering estimates, a transâ€"Canada highway would cost $200,000,000. _ It may be that this figure was given to alarm his hearers and cause them to abandon the objective of the highway. But it is no secret that by using the highways which exist and by constructâ€" ing the necessary links a transâ€"Canada highway of a fairly serviceable stanâ€" dard could be achieved for a fraction of that amount and in reasonably short time. And suppose the later constructâ€" ed real mode:m motor main highway from the Atlantic to the Pacific should cost $200,000,000 let me hasten to say that, in my opinion, Canada can "well afford to finance that undertaking. It would have a life of at least 30 or 40 years and well within that period it would return to Canadians the total investment and a great deal more. "In the first place, during construcâ€" tion the money would be spent in Canâ€" ada for labour and material. That itâ€" self would provide thousands of workâ€" ers and their families with a good livâ€" ing for several years. It would bring back to Canada some of that prosperity which was known to working men when the railway companies were building their main lines. : So much is that the case, it is difficult to understand why representatives of labour in parliament would oppose the building of the transâ€" Canada highway or how they justify their action to their supporters when they do so. "For the rest of the financial picture, it is quite certain that the cost of the highway and of its maintenance will be paid for through increased trade and commerce which the highway will itself develop. The guarantee of this lies in the fact that there are someâ€" thing like 26 000,000 motor vehicles on the North American continent and the further fact that Canada is a magnifiâ€" cent country for motor tourists to visit and explore; and its opportunities for settlement and development are still so very great. The transâ€"Canada highway would throw open a gateway to motor tourist traffic on a scale which is not ever. dreamed of. Instead of $276,000,â€" 000 which was the estimated turnover in 1928 in motor tourist money spent in Canada, the figures would rapidly move towards one billion dollars per annum. Building transcontinental and other necessary: main motor highâ€" ways in Canada is in every sense of the word a splendid investment of capiâ€" tal in that it would provide essential equipment and is available in very large figures, but which Canada cannot "In the second place, no sooner would the highway be constructed than it would earn big dividends for the peoâ€" ple in Canada and continue to pay big wages to thousands .The railways have done this in the past and continue to do so. It is the same with main highâ€" ways which require to be maintained from year to year and which bring in their train many new activities all callâ€" ing for workers and so creating pay sheets. Labour leaders should get this point of view when important underâ€" takings such as the transâ€"Canada highâ€" way are under consideration. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO was apparent from the applause which followed Mr. Sheedy‘s remarks that he had the sympathy of many in the hall. Mr. Kennedy himself favoured 100 acres rather than 80 acres, while Harry Morel, M.P.P., for Nipissing, present as a guest, thought 80 acres looked rather small. Mr. Morel said the idea was first proposed for the Kapuskasing conâ€" ditions, where people were locating on land simply for the timber, but condiâ€" tions were somewhat different in this section, where homes were being made and the settlers were here to stay. Mr. Kennedy declared much‘ of the land held is not worked. He knew some men who had too much land, and he said that, while there were cases where 80 acres were not enough, taking the disâ€" trict all through, there were many places where there were comparatively small clearings. Mr. Sheedy‘s view was that the strongest argument for 160â€" acre farms was to be found in the reâ€" cords of the dairy industry of Temisâ€" kaming, and he had "to be shown how to run a dairy farm on 80 acres." The business session was followed by a banquet tendered by the member for the riding. Mr. Morel told the deleâ€" gates he was so impressed with the meeting that he thought he would call the Nipissing people into a similar gathering next year." MEETING AT NEW LISKEARD FAVOURS 160â€"ACRE FARMS enjoy in full measure without such inâ€" creased equipment. . h Aucthy. d t se ds T We se i9 s 2000 "There is t.herefore assembled in the picture before us a unique combination and a particularly happy one for Canâ€" ada. For no one will deny that for important national reasons the transâ€" Canada highway should be built and no wellâ€"informed person can successfully deny that there is a really large comâ€" mercial opportunity in the background which will pay all bills. The sequence of events is clear and Canada must function through the Federal governâ€" ment. She should finance the building of the transcontinental motor highway which she requires for national reasons, largely with borrowed money, which money will be set free among her workâ€" ers during the construction period, thus increasing prosperity throughout the country. Before that highway is fully completed, Canada will find herself catering for and receiving an almost inconceivable quantity of trade and commerce centred on motor tourist traffic coming in to travel it from the United States. The highway will also simultaneously develop increased trade and travel among Canadians themâ€" selves, and from that resulting increase of business and prosperity, Canada will much more than pay the entire cost within the life of the highway. Thus will her national requirements be paid for by simply using her national comâ€" mercial opportunity. / "It is not possible to seriously doubt the commercial opportunity because it is ‘there, back of the transâ€"Canada highway, and it beggars anything known to the men who planned the Canadian Pacific Railway and it is less necessary to be skeptical of it. The zsuarantee as I have already mentioned, lies in the population of perhaps 135,â€" 900,000 people on the North American sontinent, and the 26,000,000 motor rehicles which they possess and operâ€" ate, it lies in the well established and zrowing tendency of modern life and world development. No country on his earth, down to the present time, aver had such a magnificent opportunâ€" ty presented to it in the matter of notor tourist traffic as Canada has beâ€" ‘ore her toâ€"day. Tourist traffic is deâ€" initely known to be very lucrative and roductive of wealth for the country uicky enough to receive it. It is alâ€" »sady ranked as the second largest inâ€" ust.i:y in Canada and the motor end f it is capable of almost unlimited A despatch last week from New Lisâ€" keard says:â€"*"The provincial governâ€" ment policy of 80â€"acre farms for setâ€" tlers in the North came in for some criticism at New Liiskeard last week at the annual meeting held by A. J. Kenâ€" nedy, M.P.P., for Temiskaming, and attended by the mayor, reeves anda roan commissioners of his riding. Joseph Sheedy, Casey township, wanted the meeting to ask the Ontario authorities to reconsider their stand and go back to the system of quarter sections but the host said the purpose of the gatherâ€" ing was for an exchange of views only. If it was the desire of the meeting, said Mr. Kennedy, to get back to 160â€"acre farms, he would do what he could to help.

EXTENSION OF T.N.0. WILL OPEN UP TREASURE LANB Col. L. T. Martin, T. N. 0. Commisâ€" sioner, Believes Country North of Cochrane is Land of Vast Riches. In an interview at Ottawa the o‘her day Col. L. T. Martin, one of the comâ€" missioners of the T. N. O. Railway, spoke of the new territory, rich in naâ€" tural resources of tremendous value to the province of Ontario, that will be opened up by the extension of the T. N. O. from the end of steel at Coral Rapids 97 miles north of Cochrane to James Bay, as planned by the T. N. O. Railway Commission and by the Onâ€" tario Government. Col. Martin, who is the viceâ€"chairman of the T. N. O. Commission, pointed out that from the present end of steel, the line is to extend to a point on the Moose river, a distance of about fortyâ€" five miles. This is the present forward movement. Tenders for this piecs of construction work are to be opened on Tuesday, Feb. 18th. Work will then begin at once. Col. Martin said that it was hoped that this part of the line would be ready for use early in the fall of this year. After this is done enginâ€" eers will then select a terminal on James Bay, to which a further extenâ€" sion will be made from the Moose river. When the crossing over the Moose river is decided and the James Bay terminal chosen, final work will begin so that trains to the Bay can be run late in 1931 or early in 1932. North Bay Nuggetâ€"Then there‘s the middle generationâ€"the one that raises the younger generation for the older generation to worry over. "Ontario is the home of the finest forest treesâ€"pines, spruces, ash, oak, beech, hickory, black cherry, locust, butternut, poplar and willow. All reâ€" quisitions for trees for reforesting must be received by the end of February." "Look at that profitlees landâ€"piant trees on it." In this connection the following statement is made: "Land that never will make good grain fields, raise good root crops or pay as pasture, often makes excellent wood landâ€"and benefits the rest of the farm. The Ontario Government supâ€" plies, free, from its nurseries 3,500 young forest trees to any Ontario farâ€" mer who requires them for reforestaâ€" tion. Reforested land is free of taxaâ€" tionâ€"up to ten per cent. of the holdâ€" ings, or a maximum of ten acres. "First in importance in connection with the new line from the end of steel to the crossing of the Moose River," exâ€" plained Colonel Martin, "is the lignite ?l field at Blacksmith Rapids on the itibi river. The line will run pracâ€" tically through the centre of this field. It is estimated that there are fully 60,â€" 000,000 tons of high grade lignite in this area. â€" Drilling and exploration work is being continued by the Ontario Government to the west of the Abitiâ€" bi towards the Mattagami River than the engineers have found an improvement in the quality of the lignite and they anticipate further improvement to the westward. There are high expectations that good bituminous coal may ultiâ€" mately be found. Within a few miles of this lignite field there is an abundâ€" ance of water power available, which can be developed economically. "Adjacent to the new line there are also rich deposits of gypsum, china clay, fire brick clay and other resources. Considerable work in the development of these resources is being done and there are bright prospects that indusâ€" tries may eventually be established in different districts." __T. and N. O. engineers, he said, have considered carefully the locations of the Moose River crossing and James Bay terminal. A bridge 1,500 feet long will be needed to cross the river. Upon the line‘s completion, a train will be able to reach the Bay from Ottawa or Toâ€" ronto in 26 hours. The railway itself has never been in better condition, declared Colonel Marâ€" tin, as regards rolling stock and equipâ€" ment. Although traffic dropped away somewhat in the latter part of 1929, in common with railways throughout North America, the Commission feels sure business will be flourishing again before long, Colonel Martin said. "There is a great future in Northern Ontario, greater than perhaps some of the most sanguinary prophets imagine," Colonel Martin stated. "In addition to the abundance of natural resources in this comparatively new country, there are great attractions for sport and outâ€" dor recreation, equal to those in any part of the Dominion. "Many people may think the climate northward from Cochrane is very severe for the greater part of the year. While there may be periods in the winâ€" ter months when the thermometer reâ€" gisters lower temperatures than those recorded in Ottawa or Toronto, the fact is that from the latter part of May unâ€" til early October there is comparativeâ€" ly little difference between the climate of Northern Ontario and that of the central part of the province." The Department of Forestry for Onâ€" tario is running series of advertiseâ€" ments in the rural press at the present time inviting inquiries from farmers and others regarding forest trees for their land and how to care for their wood lots. One of the first announceâ€" ments of the departments is headed "Look at that profitlees landâ€"plant Colonel Martin ventured the opinion that discovery of coil in the region . is well within bounds of possibility. He pointed out that several companies were now exploring and drilling areas which seemed geologically favourable to oil. URGES PLANTING OF TREES ON LAND THAT IS POOR NEW PLANS FOR ASSOCIATED GOLDFTIELDS STOCKHOLDERS Goldfield ‘Creditors‘ Syndicate has issued a statement to the effect that it has purchased the assets of Canaâ€" dian Associated Goldields, Ltd.. For the purpose of clearing up the business of the latter concern former stockâ€" holders are asked to pool their shares. Those who decline to take this step will be paid off at the rate of 15¢ on the dollar in ten months‘ time. Shareâ€" holders are asked to pool their stock in order to protect their interest â€"~by united effort. Over 90 per cent. of those interested have come forward and pooled their stock. It is stated that those who enter into the assets of Canadian Associated Goldfields will receive credit for their claims at 100 cents on the dollar without further liability. â€"â€"in beauty â€"â€" performance â€"â€" value BUILT BY STUDEBAKERâ€"BUILDER OF CHAMPIONS The New Erskine is big, fast, powerfulâ€" dynamic by every measure.
