Ten years ago The Advance made reference to the attitude of some of the Ssouthern newspapers and some of the southern Ontario public men in reâ€" gard to the North Land. Advance pointed out that these newspapers and they asserted they did believe, that there was no basis of any material kina for the talk of the session of the North Land from the South. "The truth is" said The Advance, "that the calls for a separation of the North Land from the rest of Ontario arise from wellâ€"d@efined causes that are not beyond remedy. In a word the North Land feels that it is treated generally | with a lack of intelligent knowledge | and understanding that provokes wellâ€" justified anger and resentment.

In the one case Porcupine Football team was boouked to play in the Foster cup series, Bbut on account of shortness of notice for getting the team together it was desired in this camp that the game be nostponed. The matter rested with the Cobsalt club and the question was taken up with Cobalt by long distance phone. Ccomalt was very ready to accommoâ€" dmte the Porcupine in the matter, but Iroquois Falls held out that the game be wsayed as scheduled and so it had to he. In the other column a scheduled game between Timmins and the Porâ€" was scheduled for Aug. 4th. The date was set early in the season before it was known that South Porcupine was staging a big day on August 4th. The Timmins team felt 2t the Porcupineâ€"Domeâ€"McIntyre team would be handicapped and inâ€" comnvenienced if they had to play on the day of their big sports event. So Tiunmins asked if they wished the game postponed on this account and if the matter could not be arranged acâ€" cordingly with the N.OF.A.

Unless the Government desires the separation spirit to grow to such an extent that it will sweep all before it, something will have to be done to show that the authorities have a knowledge of the North Land and its needs and an honâ€" est desire and intention to right any wrongs and give the pioneers of the North a fair square deal." | The chief need of the â€" North ten! vyears ago was the necessity for roads and more roads. ‘The Advance was persistently and insistently pointing that out, and all the party governâ€" ments one after the other came in for criticism and censure because of their neglect to provide the required roads for the settlers and the mines and others. The Advance repeatedly adâ€" mitted that it was a big problem, and urged that for this very reason it must be taken up in a big way. The old â€" time plan of building a little road here or there in response to political calls or to satisfy agitation was roundly scored. In the issue ten years ago The Adâ€" vance referred to the offer of a group lof miners and prospectors to materiâ€" ally assist inâ€"~the building of a road from Boston Creek to the centre of mining activity in Skead township. "The Government should catch some | of the faith and vision of these pioneers iof the North," said The Advance. The whole road problem of the North has ;been badly handled from the beginnâ€" ing. The Government should see to the construction of roads where they are needed and warranted. The work of road building should not left as an | added burden on those who are valiantâ€" ly struggling to open up and develop t this new country." Thursday, July 29th, 1920, was the fourth anniversary of the disastrous bush fire of 1916 that caused such serâ€" ious loss of life and property in the North Land. The day was given spetâ€" ial observance at the little town of Nushka (now Val Gagne) in honour of the noble priest, Rev. Father Wilâ€" fred Gagne, who gave his life in July, 1916, in his work of ministering to his little flock in the disaster that had come upon them. From ail over the North ten years ago priests and people gathered to honour Rev. Fr. Gagne and the others who passed away in the 1916 fire. There were visitors at Nushka, or Val Gagne, from Timmins, Iroquois McCoy, Brennan, McLean Among the local and personal notes in The Advance ten years ago were the following:â€""Constable Greer left last week for Ottawa, being called to that city on account of Mrs. Greer, who went to the east for medical treatment undergoing an operation last week at Ottawa." "Mrs. FP. J. Hornby visited friends in Haileybury last week." "Mr. Peever, of Renfrew County, visited his daughters here over the weekâ€"end." "Miss Copps, of Cobalt, and Miss Copps of North Bay, have been the guests of their sister, Miss Copps, of Timmins." ‘"Mrs. J. P. Bartlieman has been visitâ€" ing in Timmins, accompanying her husâ€" band here on his return from a recent visit to Toronto." "E. P. Dean, of the Porcupine Fulp and Lumber Co., of Hoyle, is spending a few week‘s vacaâ€" tion at Niagara and other points south" "W. M. Widdifield returned on Thursâ€" day evening from a visit to the South, Niagara, Toronto, Newmarket and other places of interest being visited." ‘"Many returning from visits to Toâ€" ronto comment on the amount of liiâ€" quor easily evailable there, but it may be that these visitors to Toronto are Falls, Cochrane, South Porcupine, Matheson, Cobalt, New Liskeard, Halâ€" leybury, and practically every other centre in the North,. Rev. Fr. Lagrevol, of Charliton, celebrated requiem high mass for the souls of those dying in | the 1916 fire. Rev. Fr. Beauregard, of | Timmins, was deacon. Rev. Fr. O‘Gorâ€" man, of Cobalt, preached the sermon at the cemetery. The monument to Rev.| Fr. Gagne, was blessed, this part of ! the ceremony being directed by Rev. Fr.|!

"H. Webb was a recent visitor to Toâ€" ronto and other points south." "One ]of the bestâ€"known blindâ€"piggers of the ‘town is highly indignant at the sugâ€" gestion made by The Advance last week that the Timmins blindâ€"piggers areâ€" profiteering in booze. He says his !booze is of the very best quality and I his prices very low in view of the costs and risks of the business.

Farmer‘s Advocateâ€" Governments appreciate the fact that they are unâ€" able to restore prosperity in periods of depression, so far as agriculture is concerned, and would willingly delegate the responsibility to duly authorized bodies appointed for the purpose of studying the problem and making reâ€" commendations. A group of coolâ€"headâ€" ed, analytical successful business men and representative farmers could at this time survey the whole situation and issue a statement that would be of inestimable value to the agriculturâ€" al industry as a guide in production and marketing.

The Sudbury Star last week saysâ€" The contract for contruction of the Province of Ontario‘s new mine rescue station to be located at Frood Mine in the Sudbury district has been aâ€" warded by the Workmen‘s Compensaâ€" tion Board, which is financing the work, to the Carrington Construction Company of Sudbury, according to D. G. Sinclair, chief inspector of mines for the province. Mr. Sinclair is in Sudbury this week conducting the inâ€" quests into the deaths of miners who were victims of accidents at the FProod Mine last week. Delay in getting conâ€" struction of the new rescue station unâ€" der way has been caused by negotiaâ€" tions which were necessary between the Workmen‘s Compensation Board and International Nickel Company for a suitable site on the latter‘s property. Contractor‘s crews have been moved to the job and it is now hoped the buildâ€" ing will be ready for occupancy by November 1. The rescue equipment is all on order, he said. Since the beginâ€" ning of the year in Ontario mines, metallurgical works and gravel pits and quarries, there have been a total of 21 accidents, causing 23 deaths. Out of these nine accidents causing 11 deaths have occurred at the Frood Mine. Mr. Sinclair‘s visit to the Sudbury district at the present time is partly for the purpose of coâ€"operating with the comâ€" pany in devising ways and means, if possible, of providing further safeâ€" gsuards against accidents in the mine."
