The Advance does not agree with The Northland Post in its idea that the proposed highway across Canada should be in anything like a straight line from Quebec to Vancouver. To The Advance the idea should be to link up existing roads and have a highway across Canada that would do most to attract tourist trade, advance settleâ€" ment and present the most attractive so far as scenery and centres of interest are concerned. However, that may be passed, as all will admit that for the present the plan of a straight line highway across Canada is a matter for the futureâ€"â€" and the distant future at that. Another Article on the Transâ€"Canada Highway, With Irish Bouquets for a Certain or Uncertain Toronto Newspaper. There is much, however, of interest, in The Northland‘s Post‘s article, which is in full as follows:â€" "Interest in the National Highway continues to increase, and all who can should make a point of attending the meeting of the Northern Associated | Boards of Trade which will he held | soon in Cochrane. We are heartily in accord with the advocacy of the Norâ€" | thern Tribune, of a straight Quebec to Winnipeg Highway. ‘TThis is y‘of | course the cnly logical ultimate route, | and it is in pressing for this that the strongest arguments can be put up for the northern route. It is well to keep in mind, however, that before the stretch between here and Quebec City| can be built, the Ferguson highway will bring a lot of traffic through here, as it is more than likely that the unconâ€"| pleted gaps west of here will be finished before the Quebec road. At the present time, however, a road, connecting us with the Amos district road system would prove a real boon. There is a comparatively short stretch of road to be built to link up existing roads and open highway communication between here and the Amos district, in Quebec. The construction of this link should be undertaken this winter and we know of no more worthy object than this for the ependiture of a portion of the ten milâ€" lion dollar Northern Development grant made at the session of the Legislature. We had hoped to see a start made this year on the bonusing of land clearing, but that has evidently been laid over to a future date. Failing that, the buildâ€" ing of roads such as the one mentioned above will be a big help, and will assist materially in the opening up of the country. "Referring to the location of the Transâ€"Canada Highway, the Toronto Star says:â€""‘The Bennett government is pledged to the construction of a transâ€"Canada motor highway and will have to make an early decision between the merits of the route along the norâ€" thern shores of Lake Superior and the route running through Cochrane. The Ontario government is entitled to a voice in the matter and, according to an authority may determine its policy before the end of September. . Much will depend upon the object for which the road is to be built. If it is to get, at the lowest possible cost, a trunk road that will unite eastern Canada with western Canada, something can be said in favour of building westward from Cochrane. Such a road will have to be Duilt, ultimatély, in any case. But if the immediate purpose is to attract adâ€" ditional multitudes of United States tourists and induce them to see more of Canada and spend more of their money here to the advantage of every line of business the lake shore route would be better. It would build up many summer resorts along Lake Suâ€" perior, boom new mining districts, make the road through this region the most popular section of the natioral highâ€" way because of the incomparable scenic beauties of the route and widen the tenuous strip of inhabited territory beâ€" tween Temagami and the Manitoban If you bake athome, send for the New Magic Cook Book.

THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO ‘ _ The annual convention of the Canâ€" | adian Weekly Newspap»r Association was hold this year at Halifax, and was both enjoyable and successful. Much of the reason for this was due necesâ€" sarily to the kindly hospitality of the people of Halifax. On Monday of last iweek. the opening day of the convenâ€" \ tion, The Halifax Evening Mail, "fiftyâ€" two years in the Public Service," gave the following editorial welcome to the weekly newspapermen from all over Canada:â€" Halifax Wecome to the Weekly Newspapermen "For the newspaper folk who open their convention here today there is a warm and authentic Nova Scotia welâ€" come. The first Canadian newspaper was prublished in Halifax and the people of this old Capital City are proud of this primacy. Moreover, they realize that in the weekly press of this counâ€". try, in the smaller newspapers, Canada has an asset of great value. These are the newspapers, published in the smaller communities, that come close to the people in their homes, and they have a collective influence on the life of the Dominion that cannot be measâ€" ured in words. It is the wish of all Nova Scotians that the deliberations of the representatives of this press, in this city this week, will be both pleasâ€" ant and profitable. Some of the deleâ€" gates may be visiting Nova Scotia and the sea for the first time. For these there is a special welcome, as all who know Nova Scotia, who have tasted the hospitality of its people and who have ecnijoyed its charms, do not require reasâ€" _surance. In this welcome The Evenâ€" ing Mail joins and extends congratulaâ€" tions to the members of the association on the growth and strength of the |organization and the press it repreâ€" l sents." This welcome was fully justified and upheld by the treatment that followed. In connection with this editorial welcome, it is worth while reâ€"producing the paragraph at the head of the ediâ€" torial column of The Halifax Evening Mail. This paragraph should prove an inspiration not only to the staff of The Mail, but to all néwspapermen in their "years in the public service." The reads:â€" "It is my wish: that. The~ Halifax Herald and The Evening Mail shall be conducted as public utilities for ALL THE PBHOPLE and absolutely indeâ€" pendent and fearless, offering no unâ€" kind or unjust criticism, treating opâ€" ponents fairly on all questions, giving vigorous and hearty support to moveâ€" ments for the public good."â€"William Dennis, Founder The Halifax Herald and The Evening Mail. border. Thousands of persons living in the Detroitâ€"Chicago area would spend their yearly vacation motoring around Lake Superior if a good shore road could be travelled on the Canadian side. They might not be attracted in such large numbers by â€"the road to Cochâ€" rane. "The lack of knowledge displayed by | the Star is lamentable in the daily!l paper of its size. To say that the adâ€" vantage of the northern route is cheapâ€" er construction costs is to display igâ€"| nocrance of the nature of the country through which it would pass. To say that the barren rocky wastes of the country bordering on the north shore of Lake Superior will have greater tourâ€" ist attraction than the rolling, lake studded, forest clad territory of the northern route is the very pinnacle of foolishness. Further ignorance on the whole subject is manifest in the referâ€" ence to Temagami. Should the Lake Superior route be chogen, the loveliness of the Temagami Reserve would be lost to those using the Transâ€"Canada highâ€" way, as would the opportunity to see the beauties of Kapuskasing and Iroâ€" quois Falls, to say nothing of the tourist i attractions of the various mining towns along the Ferguson highway. "As if to add insult to injury, the Star goes on to say:â€"‘"The district north of North Bay has received much | éncouragement from governmental years, but not too much. The building| of the T. and N. O. railway and of| many branch lines, the construction of the Ferguson highway and the extenâ€" sion of the railway to James Bay, at present under way, have brought about the exploitation of many natural re-‘ sources. The district between North Bay and Sault Ste. Marie, however, has received comparatively little governâ€" mental attention and the north shore of Lake Superior less. And little has been done by the Ontario government for the benefit of For William and Port | Arthur, cities that would reap a golden harvest from the building of the lake road." I ) a blacksmith shop. 6. One shaft was sunk 77 ft., the last 93 ft. of which was in lignite: 125 ft. }of drifting was done, and over 300 tons sources during the last twenty-five’of lignite mined. Stripping or Underground Mining? It is too early to say very much about methods or recovery of the lignite. In any consideration of this problem, howâ€" ever, attention should be paid to the possibility of stripping the lignite of its overburden by steam or electric shovels. Equipment of this type has now been breught to a high efficiency, and thickâ€" er overburden than occurs over most of the Onakawana field has been strippâ€" ed in coalfields of the United States and Germany. There is one area in the Onakawana field nearly oneâ€"half square mile in extent in which the seam averages between 40 and 50 ft. and the overburden 80 ft. There is PP EC C 1 "HMere we have a typical "Hog Town" attitude which has done so much to antagonize the rest of the province. We would ask the Star to stop and consider the fine big building which is now its home. and then remember Tnat it is because of the "district north of North Bay" that it was enabled to erect that building. Much of the great exâ€" pansion which Toronto has enjoyed in the past few years has been a direct result of this ‘district‘ but now, having got all they think they can get out of us, they callously turn this back on us and fawn on another ‘district‘ Apâ€" parently "nickel‘" now appears more atâ€" tractive than "gold" or "silver", though the two latter were good enough in the past.

EXTENSIVE DEPOSITS OF LIGNITE ON THE ABITIBI Seam Traced for Three Square Miles, Says Dr. Dyer, of Ontario Dept. of Mines. Mining Methods and Probable Uses Touched Upon. There should be continued interest in the lignite fileds north of Cochrane. The development of these fields is of general advantage to all Ontario, but is of special importance to the North Land. At the annual meeting of the Canadian Institute of Mining and Meâ€" tallurgy Dr. W. S. Dyer, of the geoâ€" logical branch of the Ontario departâ€" ment of mines, gave much detailed inâ€" formation about the lignite fields. A summary of his review may be given as follows:â€" The lignite deposit at Onakawana on the Abitibi river is of particular interest at the present time, since the Ontario Government has recently decided to proceed with the extension of the Teâ€" miskaming and Northern Ontario railâ€" way to James Bay. Fortyâ€"five miles of steel will be laid this year to the crossâ€" ing of the Moose river. This will cross the lignite fielqd. It has been known for many yea‘s that lignite ccecurred in the Moose river | basin, but it was not until drilling was | commenced at Blacksmith rapids (or Onakawana, as the camp is now known) in June, 1929, tht a seam of economic‘ thickness and extent was found. Early in 1929 the Ontario Legislature votedl $25,000 for the carrying out of a drillâ€" ing programme in the Moose river basin. This came as a culmination of two summers‘ exploratory work by the Geological Branch of the Ontario Deâ€" partment of Mines, and as the result of a report which said, in effect, that further information concerning the mineral resources of the basin could only be obtained by drilling, and that such a drilling programme was well worth while in order to establish once for all whether lignite, fireâ€"clay, or oil or gas did or did not exist in economic quantities in the region. i Diamond Drilling Campaign original programme included five holes in the vicinity of Blacksmith rapids; four were to be short holes in search of lignite, and the fifth, a deeper one to the granite, was to determine the thickness and character of the sediâ€" mentary formations and to test for oil and gas. Afterwards, similar series of holes were to be drilled on the Moose, Mattagami and Missinaibi rivers. The ‘success at Blacksmith rapids was so great that the drills have been kept conâ€" tinuously drilling short holes to explore the lignite area; even the deep hole to the granite has been postponed. Thve following is a summary of results obtained during the first year of operâ€" ations:â€"â€" 1. Fifty holes have been drilled, with an average depth of about 135 ft. Forty cf these holes have struck lignite, and in 34 of them 10 ft. or more of lignite has been penetrated.. 2. Approximately three square miles of territory has been proved to be unâ€" derlain by the lignite seam, averaging between 20 and 25 ft. in thickness. In one group of 7 holes, within an area of 300 acres, the seam averaged 45 ft. in thickness, and in the best hole the seam was 6 ft. thick. 5. Fourteen buildings have hbeen erected, at headquarters, at the halfâ€" way, and at the former end of steel, inâ€" cludine quarters for the staff and men, cock cabins, storeâ€"houses, stables, and a blacksmith shop. of the Onakawana field has been strippâ€" ed in coalfields of the United States and Germany. There is one area in the Onakawana field nearly oneâ€"half square mile in extent in which the seam averages between 40 and 50 ft. and the overburden 80 ft. There is also another area, one square mile in extent, where the seam averages 20 ft. and the overburden ranges from 60 to 80 ft. It is too early in the history of the field to make any statements in regard to the feasibility of underground minâ€" ing. It should be stated, however, that 125 ft. of drifting was done on shaft No. 1 and the lignite was found to be much harder and stood up much better than might have been expected. Owing to the high moisture content of the lignite, it will be out of the quesâ€" tion to ship it any great distance in the raw state. To make the greatest use of it, it will be necessary to put it through some process to eliminate the greater part of the moisture. Pulverised Fuel At this stage the most natural use for it would appear to be as pulverised fuel in industrial plants. For this purpose the lignite could be used either air dried or carbonized. Tests are being made to determine the best form in which to pulverise it. The air. dried form seems to have most in its favour. As a pulverized fuel, it could be used in the industrial plants of the rorth. Smallâ€"scale tests have already been made which indicate that the lignite can be successfully carbonised and made into briquettes. The carbonised residue has a composition very similar to anthracite and could no doubt be used in central heating plants. The briquette is wellâ€"known to be a highâ€" grade domestic fuel. Although it will not be feasible, on account of the high moisture content of the coal, to ship it any great distance in the raw state, it is expected that a good deal of the output will be used in this state for domestic heating purposes in the towns and villages of Northern Ontario located near the field. It was used in special Quebec heaters in the camp all winter very successfully. It burned well, without smoke, even with the full content of moisture, held fire all night, and there was little ash and very little clinker. New Liskeard Young Man Killed in Auto Accident Frank Montgomery, second son of Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Montgomery of New Liskeard, and formerly of Haileyâ€" bury, is dead, and two companions on Wednesday of last week are injured as a result of the car turning over on the Lake Shore road, just opposite Henâ€" nessy Ledge, at about ten o‘clock The two injured men are Irwin Risâ€" zel, teller in the Impsrial Bank at Coâ€" balt, and M. J. Clark, also of Cobalt. Ritzel is in the Haileybury hospital giffering from severe injuries to his neck. It was believed that it was brokâ€" en, but this was not certain. Clark was apparently less seriously injured, but he suffered badly from shock, and it was feared that he had sustained a fractured ptp. He is now in the New Liskeard hospital. Provincial Constable Allsopp, who was on the scene very shortly after the crash, stated that there was no visible cause, unless the car was being driven at an excessive rate of speed. The marks of the wheels showed that it had swerved to the side of the road ant then apparently swung back just before it upset.
