The displaying of flags on Chrisimas Day was a recommendation contained in a letter sent by W. A. Edwards, Liverpool, Eng., to North Bay city council, and which was considered at a council mesting last week at North Bay. The writer stated that he had commenced in December, 1024, to advoâ€" cate the marking of the "greatest birthâ€" day in history," and in December, 1926, prevailed upon the municipal authoriâ€" ties of Liverpool to adopt the suggesâ€" tion. Since then a number of suburban municipalities had followed suit. He asked if it was not reasonable to disâ€" play flags on the "greatest birthday of the year" when the birthdays of others, less worthy, are so marked. The matâ€" ter was referred to the Contingent comâ€" mittee for report. sUGGESTS DISPLAYING OF FLAGS OX CHRISTMAS DAY Sound, however, are Certain of the benâ€" efits that would acrue, and so the proâ€" posal has been revived again. At a meeting last week of the North Bay city council approval was given to a recommendation made by the Contingâ€" ent and Industrial Committee that the city clerk advise the Parry Sound town council that North Bay council heartâ€" ily endorses the suggestion that the railway commission be petitioned to exâ€" tend the T. N O. Railway to that point. It was also recommended that the munâ€" icipal councils and the boards of trade along the proposed route be asked to appoint delegates to a meeting with a view to preparing an application to the railway directorate. It was also directâ€" ed that the North Bay Board of Trade be informed of this action. sSUGGESTS BUILDING OF North Bay city council last week reâ€" vived the idea of having the T. N.O. Railway extended from North Bay to Parry Sound. This is a plan that has often been urged in past years though in the last few years nothing has been heard of it. This part of the North Land has not looked very favourably on the suggestion, chiefly because it has been felt that any extensions of the T. N. O. should be in this North Land, it being agreed that the railway was built as a colonization railroad and with the chief purpose of developing the North Land. It should be admitâ€" ted that the T. N.O. has done well by the North Land, especially in recent years, in regard to development assistâ€" ance. There could not be much enâ€" thusiasm in this part of the North for extension of the T. N.O. at its presâ€" ent southern terminal. At the moâ€" ment there appear to be several more pressing or desirable extensions from the North Land‘s standpoint. For inâ€" stance, there is the railway to the Kaâ€" miskotia country, or, perhaps, better still a line connecting Timmins and Kapuskasing and passing through the Kamiskotia country. There are many advantages quoted as likely to follow the extension of the T. N.O. to Parry Sound. It is not so easy to see these advantages from this distance.

REMARKABLE GROWTH OF THE PULPWOOD INDUSTRY Some very interesting facts and figâ€" ures in regard to the pulpwood indusâ€" try were given by Walter Cockburn to the Rotary Club at North Bay at a reâ€" cent gathering of that body. This adâ€" dress by Mr. Cockburn was delivered as one of the "classification talks," as they are termed, such as are given from time to time by members o‘ the club on the business in which they areengaged. The first pulp mill in America was operated in Valleyfield, Que., Mr. Cockâ€" burn stated at the outset of his address There were 33 straight pulp mills and allied mills there was a total of 110, he said, now in operation. There were 6,328,586 cords of pu:.pâ€" wood cut in Canada in 1928, th» speakâ€" er said. The valuation was $74,848.000 and of this pulpwood, an amount valuâ€" ed at $13,000,000 was exported Mr. Cockburn went on to say that, accordâ€" ing to Government statistics, there were 1,214,000 cords of pulpwood stili in Canada, 200,000,000 cords of which were in Ontario. "This means that the Government will have a revenue of $320000,000 in Ontario from pulpwood," declared Mr. Cockburn. iin the matter there is a danger that (A. B.

PEOPLE IN THIS PART OF NORTH SHOULD GFT BUSY There Should be Concerted Action Here to Press the Real Advantages of the Routing of the Transâ€" Canada Highway Through Here. "What is the idea of having so much in The Advance about the Transâ€"Canâ€" ada highway?" This question has been asked by more than one reader of this paper recently, and the asking of such a question is proof of the fact that all the people are not awake to the importance of the fact that this part of the North needs to watch its inâ€" terests and the interests of the counâ€" try in regard to the route of the Transâ€" Canada highway. It is also indication of the need for all possible newspaper references. In the western part of Northern Ontario there is an extended and persistent campaign in favour of the Transâ€"Canada highway being routâ€" ed along the north shore of Lake Suâ€" periorâ€"a@ costly and impractical route that will serve few good purposes. It may be that such a route needs a lot of publicity and backing, but unless other sections of the North look to their own interests and the general interests "Under the heading "Do You Want the Great Highway?" The New Lisâ€" keard Speaker last week says:â€" "It appears to us that the majority of the Boards of Trade, the Municipal Councils, the Service Clubs and most other organizations in Temiskaming and Cochrane Districts are asleep as to the fight now being waged for the routing of the Transâ€"Canada Highway. Many have adopted the attitude of "leaving it to George", while others beâ€" lieve the Ferguson Highway and C. N. R. route have such overwhelming adâ€" vantages that no other route would seriously be considered by the authoriâ€" ties. This is positive blindness on the part of the general public. "If the people of this part of Northâ€" ern Ontario could only realize the fight being put forward by the people of all Northâ€"Western Ontario for either the Lake Superior route or that freak "compromise" road we hear so much about, they would begin to realize that this indifference will lead to our unâ€" doing.

Goulet‘s house that the chemical fire extinguishers were most effective and as a first agency to fight a fire eannot be too» highly commended. Since then it has been suggested that the town council consider the advisâ€" ability of purchasing a small chemical engine which could be rushed to the scene of fires while the fire company is placing the other fireâ€"fighting apparâ€" atus. "The Fress of our North has done everything it possibly can, but the peoâ€" ple must begin to take notice of the fact that if we are to have the Ferguâ€" son Highway become the Transâ€"Canada Highway, they will have to take their share in the fight. "A regular publicity campaign is beâ€" ing carried on through the press of Old Ontario by our Western friends. Some Old Ontario newspapers have joined in the fight with the Soo and Port Arthur people regardless of the true facts of the case at issue. They see a lovely "weekâ€"end" trip around Lake Superior and express their delight regardless of the cost, and say "exâ€" pense be hanged." "What are our members of Parliaâ€" ment, our Mayors, our Board of Trade Presidents, our Reeves and political leaders doing about this most importâ€" ant public matter? Is any organized work under way other than the efforts of the Associated Board of Trade resoâ€" lution at the recent Cochrane convenâ€" tion? If not, why not? THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO lsrm, ANOTHER ROUTE FOR TRANSâ€"CANADA HIGHWAY To the Editor of The Globe: You have had several items re the building of an Ontario portion of Canadian transâ€"continental highway. There are already several proposed routes. Allow ne to add another. Start westerly from Cochrane follow, as nearly as the lay of the land will allow, a great circle to The Pas. This will really cpen up the country for exploration and settlement. About 30 years ago the late James Commee tried to tell the House what was in our Northern Ontario. All he secured was unlimited abuse for saying in his speech, "Canter away and spend the money." He explained it to me thus: "The people are afraid of their shadows, I have lumbered, hunted and travelled over much of that north country. We have there most wonâ€" derful heritage. This small western peninsula is only a fragment in either size or value. If they will open up the Northern Ontario country we will have room for millions of happy, sturdy and wellâ€"toâ€"do people. Everything one can think of is there,in lavish abundance. All required is a way to get there." This was long ere such places as Coâ€" balt, Porcupine or Cochrane were thought of. Is there no one with vision who can advocate something that will really be useful in the future? ‘Toronto. ; Merritt A. Brown. @ ' DOMINO BRRAND 6.
