The Sault Ste. Marie Star seems to have the idea that Mr. Needham‘s delay through the difficulty of travelling over the marshy ground in question will be considered as prejudicing the use of any route but the one along the north shore of Lake Superior for the course of the proposed Transâ€"Canada highway. As a matter of fact, Mr. Needham investigated the north shore route and found it an impractical and impossible one tol follow on his trip. E. Wharton shaw, who has been planâ€" ning a similar tour across Canada by motor car and tractor also considered the feasibility of using the north shore route. j After careful study Mr. Shaw came to the opinion that the] north shore route was not only impossible for use on his! trip, but he frankly believed it to be so costly and unattracâ€" | tive from so many standpoints that he felt it should not be | considered as a possible route for the Transâ€"Canada highway. ]l 1t is true that Mr. Needham had some difficulty before he was able to pass over soine marshy ground west of Hearst. Eventually, however, he was able to preceed along his way. It may be admitted that he did get into a little hole some | distance west of Hearst, but had he used the north shore raute he would have put himself completely "on the rocks."

A. Mcâ€" Connell, was appointed to enquire into the possibility of gathering information to be published as a history of the inspectorate, making special reference to pioneering condiâ€" tions. The proposal was made by the inspector following most interesting account by Principal Hardick, of the Bestel school, of the early struggles of his Gowganda school, which originally was financed, he pointed out, by the deduction of forty cents each per month from the miners‘ cheques, with M. J. O‘Brien making up the balance required. As The Adâ€" vance has pointed out repeatedly it is most regrettable that in this new country the facts of the history of the Aarea NE s 9 k. " satharad and n»anfimnad while‘ the:data is ava»il" should not be gathered and confirmed while the data is avallâ€" able. The history of the North Land will be of increasing value to students of life and effort as time goes on. The Advance has made effort to keep a record of events since its establishment and has found that once a few years have passed there is increasing difficulty in securing dependable data on points in any question. For instance, there are half a dozen different reasons given by oldâ€"timers as to why this area bears the name, "Porcupine." Varying versions are given in reference to different important discoveries. Only a few of the basic facts of the interesting story of this counâ€" try are confirmed beyond doubt. The longer the gathering of the facts of the story of the North Land may be delayed, the more difficult it will be to secure the truth and to preâ€" serve a fair idea of the spirit of the men and women who pioneered here. On many occasions The Advance has urged that some official steps be taken to gather and record the true story of the North before facts fade into legend. _ It would appear that no better minds than those of the teachers could undertake a task like this. Not only in South Temisâ€" kaming, but in every other inspectorate through the whole North. it might be well if the task of chronicling the story of the ccuntry were undertaken by the teachers, They would find it a fascinating hobby, and it would also prove a valuâ€" able work of interest for the people in general. would appear t could undertak kaming, but in North, it might the ccuntry we find it a fascin able work of ir The Ottawa Journal reports in more or less detail the case of a Wrightsville man who drove an automobile up on the sidewalk in Hull, went clear through the wall of the house, ran the car across the sitting room and only came to a stop when the car hit the rear wall of the dining room. After concluding its account of this interesting and exciting ocâ€" currence, The Ottawa Journal concludes:â€"*"No charge was laid as he (the driver) was able to give satisfactory explanâ€" ation as to what caused him to drive into the house." Even people with a small bump of curiosity will be stirred to wonder what would constitute a "satisfactory explanation" for driving through a house wall and across sitting room and dining room without a special invitation from the people in the house. The beautiful summerâ€"like weather last week was enjoyed in the North Land, and there were no illâ€"effects from it. In the South, however, there were serious results from a day or two of dogâ€"day weather in October. There is a certain or uncertain Toronto newspaper that all the year round appears to suffer from a dogâ€"day condition of the mind,. But friends were pained to note the evil that befell The Toronto Globe. "The Globe is seldom tempted, but when it is, it falls very hard. Lord Leverhulme, head of the great concern manuâ€" facturing soap and allied approaches to godliness, was in "‘Toronto and refused to be interviewed by the newspaper Teporters. In a neat panel on the front page, The Globe actually quotes one of the reporters as greeting Lord Leverâ€" "The president of the Sun Life Assurance Company in A recent address at Toronto urged that the railways return to the plan so popular years ago of having special excursion rates to special places and on special occasions.

It is interesting to note that there is a generation now growing up who know nothing about railway excursions. The nearest approach to the oldâ€"time excursion that they may know is the special train, which has by no means the same glamour or the same economy. These young folks have missed much; the rising generation has not had everything, as some suppose. The Advance believes that the public would be greatly advantaged by a return to the plan of holding railway excursions with special rates for various events and occasions. There would be special adâ€" vantage in this North Land where distances are so great and travel consequently so costly. There is reason to believe that the railways would also benefit by way of new and increased traffic that would prove profitable. Until the railways overâ€" did the excursion idea in the past, it was a paying form of business, and occasional excursions now would no doubt prove profitable to the railways. While the use of the autoâ€" mobile is becoming more and more universal, it is a fact that an increasing number of people are tiring of travelling by motor car, especially for long distances. They miss the comâ€" fort of the oldâ€"time wellâ€"appointed train. It is true that the trains are not so well kept as they used to be in Old Ontario. The T. N. 0. Railway is an exception in seeing to it that cars are kept clean and conditions are pleasant on the local trains. The Canadian National trains running through the North Land are all through trains and so are kept up to a fair standard, but in the older sections of the province the local trains are usually so unkempt and uncleanly that they are not at all attractive and it is little wonder that bus serâ€" vices and automobiles have cut in so heavily into the pasâ€" senger traffic. If the railways would spruce up their cars and service and return to the oldâ€"time plan of excursions and excursion rates, they would undoubtedly be surprised l at the renewed popularity that would be enjoyed by theâ€"railâ€" way trains.

It might set another example in the way of inaugurating excursions on the railroad. Railway excursions on the T. N.

Railway list would be a special train and Several good sportsmen have raised objection recently to the evil work that is being carried on these days at Big water Lake. This lake has been stocked with trout by the Rcd and Gun Club, yet certain types of fishermen have teen acting there with a greed and selfishness that promises to deplete the waters of all trout. Stories are told of fishing cperations there on wholesale scale during the spawning season, the taking of fish little more than fingerlings from the water, and other unsportsmanlike and destructive methods. If those guilty of these forms of highway robbery of the public resources in fish will not recognize the evil of their ways and desist from these breaches of the law and common decency, the authorities should make a point of having two or three of the offenders properly punished beâ€" fcre further depletion of the fish of the waters in question CCcurs. Writing this week in the column, "The Canadian Legion in the Porcupine," the secretaryâ€"treasurer of the Timmins branch of the Legion announces that the annual church psrade of the branch will be held on Sunday, November 9th, and that arrangements are to be made for the division of the parade after a formal march, so that those of the different denominations may attend their own churches in groups. The secretaryâ€"treasurer gives an earnest invitation to various organizations to join with the Legion in this expression of respect and gratitude for those who have fought and sufferâ€" ed for the Empire in the past. The list of those specially invited by the secretaryâ€"treasurer could be greatly extended, as he suggests, and this gives The Advance the idea that this church parade on November 9th might be made into a parâ€" ticularly impressive and valuable event. There has been much irritation created by communist parades here in the past year or two, and by abortive attempts at such parades. Why should not the loyal people of this town join with the men and women of the Legion whose loyalty has been proven by their service and by their very blood, and make the event on November 9th a parade that will show the alien by birth and the alien by misdirection something of the number of lcyal men and women and children in this community. The Legion‘s invitation to join with them on November 9th in the church parade is broad enough to include every man, woman and child. Let every man, woman and child in the community turn out and participate in this parade. It would be a memorable lesson to the disaffected and the alien. It would be a tribute to the noble dead. It would be a tribute to the Canadian Legion, whose good work in this community in peace toâ€"day is along the same unselfish and selfâ€"sacrificing lines as its members gave overseas for huâ€" manity. It would be a tribute to the loyalty that every man, owes to himself, his family, his people and his Empire. The Sault Ste. Marie Star some months ago admitted, or it may be boasted, that its famous Algoma wolf stories were only publicity stunts. Possibly, The Star may yet admit that its present advocacy of the rocky north shore of Lake Suâ€" perior as a part of the route for the Transâ€"Canada highway is only another Algoma wolf story. In any event everyone will admit that only the author of Algoma wolf stories could seriously contend that there was scenic attractions in the zrubby rocks of that north shore. Serious unemployment is reported at Cochrane where there are said to be four hundred men without work at the present time. These men have been attracted to the North Land by the idea that there is work obtainable. The fact is that there is not enough work in progress or in conr templation in the North Land to provide employment for the people of this district. Every man that comes into this country seeking work means one more unemployed man for the North Land, and there are enough here now. The sooner this fact is generally known the better for the district and for those seeking work. The North Land already has a surplus af labour. Cochrane is sure to be injured in many ways by the surplus of labour there, and Timmins should also prepare to endure again this winter a measure of unemployment. The projected erection of a million dollar hotel at Moose Zactory with the idea of attracting tourist trade to the North makes the completion of the belt line of roads for the North ill the more necessary. Tourists will be doubly attracted to the Hudson Bay area if they can go north by one route and return by another. In couple of years from now it will be a case of Moose Factory rather than Coney Island or Miami, Florida. a the T.: P ecially redu apuskasing. In the beautiful summerâ€"like weather of the opening days of this week, it was hard to believe that Christmas is only ten weeks away. A suitable text for those advocating the north shore of Lake Superior as a route for the Transâ€"Canada highway would be:â€""The way of the transgressor is hard." Wantedâ€"Roads for settlers for the Demonst THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO ATTENTION NEEDED 10 THE UNEMPLOYMENT SITUATION Cochrane Saffering Particularly and Other Towns Liable to be Affected from the Situation at Cochrane some people in Timmins may wonder why‘the people here should worry parâ€" ticularly about the unemployment situâ€" ation in Cochrane, but the fact is that all the towns in the North are liable to be affected in more or iess measure, and Timmins being the largest town in this part of the North may be expected to get more than its share of any trouâ€" ble going. For this Timmins should be prepared, and the mayor and counâ€" cil hoere are planning to meet the conâ€" ditions as effectively as possible. Reâ€" pprts from Cochrane are that condiâ€" tions there are very bad. There are literally hundreds of men there out of work and Cochrane is consequently faced with the danger of some measurs of lawlessness, as well as the burden of men without means. Cochrane is apparently alive to the matter and is no doubt anxious and active in any efforts to get rid of its undesired surâ€" plus of labour. Perhaps, Cochrane psople will tell ths unemployed there that there is work some place else or conditions are better elsewhere. L1 the people of Cochrane do so, who can blame them? They did not seek the 'lnfiux of labour there. But sending men to Timmins or Cobalt or Kirkland Lake or elsewhsre will not remedy the trouble. So far as Timmins is conâ€" cerned, there is no surplus of work here. Indeed, there is not enough employâ€" ment for those already here. For the past few years people have been flockâ€" nz from all cver the country to Timâ€" mins, because they good here. No town sort of thing. There unemployed here la moenth or two ago the ployment Bureau her Just what the provincial government can do in the matter is not plain, but socmething will have to be done. On the one hand men can not be left to starve by the hundreds. On the other hand, municipalities like Timmins or Cochrane simply can not handle such a situation. The seriousness of the situation in Cochrans may be gleaned from the following editorial in The Cochrane Northland Post last week:â€" as a little care in this respect will avoid the possibility of danger. The town council is doing all in its power to protect the people of Cochrane but it is up to the people ‘themselves to reâ€" duce, as far as possible, the opiporâ€" tunities for trouble." GEORGES CARPENTIER IN COMEDY, "HMHOLD EVERTHING" What is described as the most hilariâ€" ous prize fight in the history of the screen is shown in "Hold Everything," the allâ€"colour, allâ€"talking Vitaphone musical comedy produced by Warner Bros., and scheduled to be shown at the Goldfields theatre, Timmins, on Friday and Saturday of this week, Oct. 17th and 18th. One of the contestants in this comedy battle is Jos. E. Brown, the famous comedian who has risen to new heights with the advent of the talking picturse, and the bout takes its place as the laughing highâ€"spot of this entertaining film. This ludicrous encounter is one of the preliminaries to a main event whicn shows Georges Carpentier, noted French boxer and erstwhile op;ynent of Jack Dempsey, striving to wrest new laurels from the heavyâ€"weight champion of the world, in a contest which is filled with thrills and excitement. In addition to Carpentisr and Brown, the cast of "Hold Everything" include Winnie Lightner, Sally O‘Neil, Dorothy Revier, Edmund Breese, Bert Roach and Marion Byron. Roy Del Ruth diâ€" rected. As a musical comedy star, Winnie Lightner has long been a familliar figure, singing one of her rollicking blues songs before a prancing line of beautiful chorus girls. For three ysears she was cone of the stars of George White‘s "Scandals," and also appsared as the featured player in "Gay Pares." Now she duplicates her stage appearâ€" ances in "Hold Everything," the allâ€" colour Vitarlaone production recently completed by Warner Bros.

The elimination of level crossings over railroads in this North is one of the suggestions for work for labour in this North Land made by The Northern News.
