Many people have expresse? the wish that they might se As cthers see them. The more thoughtful people, however, wish that others would see them as they see themselves. Some such thought as the latter often comes to North Land rlrople when they read some of the romantic articles about this North. There was, for instance, an article published recently in The Ohio State Journal, about this North Counâ€" try that will rouse varied feelings among Northerners. Some will be asâ€" tonished, other will be amazed, others will be annoyed and some will have good laugh. The laugh, perhaps, is the ;best way. In any event, few will feel ithat it is altogether a profitable and nleacing success in this instance of pleasing Success INM (Uil} _ [A "seeing ourselves as others see us." During the month of September three newspapermen came North and went on to Moose Factory, which is not much of a journey these days, though it is not long ago that it was a trip that could not be successfully gone through by any â€" three newspapermen â€" from éctly Izappy Columbus, Ohio. The result of the trip was a remarkable dish of wonders for the believing ;mzople of Columbus, Ohio. The newspapermen from Columbus, Ohic, saw T. N. O,. conductiors armed to the braces. They saw where fifty| men had given their lives to the treachâ€" erous waters of one set of rapids, though they did not specify how many years ‘the death list covered. The three newsâ€" papermen were surprised that they landsd safely at Moose Factory. They were still more surprised that they ever got back to civilization, which is locatâ€" ed now at Columbus, Ohio. They were especially relieved to get home before the winter set in, though the North: Land was growing strawberries this Ocâ€" tober. However, here is the whole story as told by the gentlemen of Columbus, Ohio. Following is the story of the ‘Ohio newspapermen as told by Robt. 8. Harper, telegraph editor of The Ohio \State Journal, in an article which he wrote for that paper recently:â€" I Primevai Land Setting out primarily to fish and ‘hunt, they almost forgot these pasâ€" times and became sightseors in a land that still exists as it has been written in fiction. At Moose Factory, they I reached what might be called the region of the subâ€"Arctic, a land where 50 and 60 below zero holds sway in a winter ithat lasts eight months, a land where the Indians still live only by the gams they kill. A glance at the map shows Moose Factory straight North from Columbus, resting on the lower tip of that great expanse of Arctic Ocean first seon by Hendrik Hudson. The last town north is Cochrane, the map shows, and at first glance that place apears to be not so far from the bay. The actual disâ€" tance, as the party learned ox\hreach- ing Cochrane, is a little more than 200 miles, or approximately the distance between Columbus, O., and Detroit. Between Cochrane and Moose Facâ€" tory there lies a wilderness of thousands of square miles of swamp land, with a few forests on the higher ground, rivers whose roar can be heard for miles as they plunge through the gorges to the north, and the only means of travel is a railway that timidly ventures 96 miles north twice a week during the warm months. This railroad is the Temiskaming and THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS. ONTARIO Over and over a has been proved thc breast X baby hzs more chance of avoiding nutritional disease, of growing up to healthy ildhood, than Ithe bottle fed infant. A baby‘s stomach is exâ€" tremely delicate.â€" The least departure from the normal upsets it. Thereâ€" fore, every mother should ensure her baby the naâ€"~ tural right of maternal milk.

They are better than bread or biscuits for growing children. Their toothsome, crisp, deliâ€" ciousness makes them a favoâ€" rite and they ensure sound white teeth and firm healthy gums. BREAST FED IS BEST FED Northern Ontario, on which all eyes in the Dominion now are centred whilse its builders try to force it farther north with the ultimate hope of some day, if they are lucky, of reaching James Bay at Moose Factory. They have a dream o‘ extending it up the coast to Churchâ€" il1l, where the wheat belt line now links itself to a wheat carrying steamer line through the Hudson Straits to Liverâ€" pool. The Columbus men reached Cochâ€" rane by automobile, taking the only road from North Bay, which calls itself the Gateway to the North. This road splits the worldâ€"famous Temagami forâ€" est preserve and reaches Cochrane with 300 miles of gravel and clay,. At Cochâ€" rane the road ends. Upon arrival at Cochrane, the party met their guide, Alex Hunter of Moose Factory, the best known riverman in the James Bay reâ€" gion, added to their camping equirtnent and laid in food supplies for two weeks. They took the Friday morning train known as the "Polar Bear," from Cochâ€" rane and were guests of James Biers, a sixâ€"foot conductor who wears two businessâ€"like pistols beneath his blue Coral Rapids is the present terminus of the line, 96 miles above Cochrane. The train arrived there at 9.30 that night, after spending 12 hours en routeé, an average of eight miles an hour. The twelve hours included thirty minutes for lunch at Island Falls, an abandoned Hudson Bay post, where a man and his wife sel sandwiches and tea to the train crew and passengers. Everybody piles off at Island Falls to eat and stretch. When he has made certain that everyone is on the train again, the conductor gives the signal and the loâ€" comotive moves on. Conductor Biers is a.hmobliging person; he wouldn‘t think of leaving a lagging passenger at the lunch counter. ; Coral Rapiids is a seitlament of half a dozen log huts in a swamp clearing. Years ago a forest fire left it barren and then the bush again burst through. The principal huts are those of Charlie Massey, who runs a lunch counter durâ€" ing the summer months. Charlie boasts that his "lunch counter‘" is the farthâ€" est north of any in Canada and that he will always be found at the end of the steel, moving with it as it creeps slowly through the bush. There is a log cabin store which bears the title of "The Bank of Nova Scotia." The bankâ€" er carries the money in his pockets. Then there is the Hudson‘s Bay Co. post and the frame building that serves as a depot, waiting room and freight shed. From Coral Rapids to the Moose River, where the Temiskaming and Northern Ontario Railway is attemptâ€" ing to span a turbulent channel with a bridge, the Ohioans travelled on ton and a half motor truck that had been converted into a railâ€"going vehicle by the use of flanged wheels. The disâ€" 256 tance is about 48 miles. The truck makes one round trip a day. It is usâ€" ed on this last stretch of track to the river because the rails are yet unsafe for a train. The gravel trains that venâ€" ture out upon it for a few miles north of Coral Ramds "do so at their risk." Some day the railway will be running clean up to Moose River, but it will be after the track has been laid on a solid bed. As it is at present, it is two steel rails spiked to ties laid across swamyp lands. It is easy enough to travel from Coral Rapids to the river on the truck â€"if one is lucky enough to get a ride on the truck. More often than not, it 1s! loaded to the guards with supplies for. the workmen, or the workmen themâ€" selves, prospectors and surveyors. The Ohioans took to canoes that Alex Huntâ€" er‘s father was holding there for them With the "old man" as an addition to the party they started the nearly 50â€" mile paddle to their goalâ€"Moose Facâ€" tory. One canoeâ€"an 18â€"footer capable of carying 1,200 ppunds or more, was ‘equipped with an outboard motor and everything appeared rosy in the minds of the travellers for a nice, comfortable | journey. But the first rapids were only a mile or so below the bridge site and ‘from there on until they were within a few miles of Moose Factory it was a battle against swift water and rocks, the canoceists using poles to keep their | craft right side up while the guides picked their way through the channel. ; Canoe Wrecked __The trip, however, was without parâ€" ticular incident except that the jJunceâ€" ! tion of the Abitibi River with the Moose where jagged rocks ripsd the bottom | iof one of the canoes and it had to be. beached for repairs.. The Abitibi, rushâ€" ing down across the northern water !shed, through rapids known AS the |worst in the Hudson Bay country disâ€" gorges a yellow stream into the Moose Eand discolours that rocky river for ;miles. Tales of scores of men drowned in the rapids of these two northern ‘rivers are heard by the traveller as so0n as he arrives in that country. They say 50 men have lost their lives in the "Oil Can" rapids, seven of them having bsen drowned last year. Moose Faciory is perched on the coast in much the same manner it has been for the last 150 years, since its founding by that governor and comâ€" pany of adventurers of England who :raded into Hudson‘s Bay. The Hudâ€" son‘s Bay Company in more recent times, however, has faced competition lfor trading with the Indians and Eskiâ€" } mos through the French organization known as Revillion Freres, whose posts dot the Hudson‘s Bay region. At Moose, on the "French side" of the river t%> Revillion Freres post stands to itself c posite the island on which Moose Fractory itself stands. Moose Factory was rlaced on the island because in the days it was founded the Indians preâ€" sented hostile menace to the white man. Both the Hudson‘s Bay and the Revillion Freres posts are operated by men who welcomed the Ohioans and showed them through their stores. Sergeant Covell of the Royal Canâ€" adian Mounted Police, also welcomed the party to Moose Pactory. He has ‘the distinction of being the tallest man in the Royal Mounted service, standing six feet, seven inches in his socks. He admitted his boots are made to order because he wears size 14. Sergsant Covell is an amateur magician and has so mystified the Indians in the Hudâ€" son‘s Bay country that they shake their heads and solemnly declare he is "full of the dGdevil" There are 31 Indian children in the mission school at Moose Factory, ranging in ages of the lower grades. The mission, operated by the Anglican Church, is in charge of Rev: iMr. Blackburn, formerly of Chicago. He greeted the Ohioans as "folk from home.‘" He smiled broadly when he said he understood the gang killings in Chicago were going at full blast. Other members of the Blackburn household were called in to meet the guests. Radio Popular "Tell us about the "prison fire," they acked, almost in unison, their identi-l fication of Columbus having dated from the Easter Monday horror at the Ohio penitentiary. They said they had heard | "lots about it" over the radio, their sole link with the outside world. Their favourite stations they said, are W'LW' and WAIU; they espscially enjoy the. organ concerts from the latter. Recepâ€" tion of the kind the radio salesman Sm e s 2C 0000 talks about is a reality in Moose Facâ€" tory; it is only a matter of attaching some dry batteries and stringing up an aerial With the nearest electric wire at the dam site on the Abitibi River, 150 miles south they never worry about interference except on the coldest nights of winter when the northern lights flash across the skies most vividâ€" ly. These lights, brilliant at all times of the year, rarely bother in summer, they said. There is a grizzled old sailing vessel in dry dock at Moose Factory. It is the. Fort Churchill, a twoâ€"masted sailing vessel with an auxiliary engine owned by the Hudson Bay Co. With a block and tackle arrangement they have hauled the boat up on the bank for reâ€" pairs, the ice having crushed the rudâ€" der during the breakâ€"up last spring. Some time ago, the Fort Churchill was sailed over from England and tied up at Fort George, on the east coast of Hudson‘s Bay, and the crew went ashore. During the night, there was*‘a :savy storm and at dawn the Fort Churchill had disappeared. Months passed and finally the sturdy little craft was found beached on the Belcher Isâ€" lands, in the centre of Hudson‘s Bay, s+111 as good as ever except that both he" masts were gone.

Low water offered other hazâ€" ards and the work of forcing the canoes upstream in the rapids was a backâ€" breaking task. Fifteen miles per day is good speed up the river in that kind of weather. On their way out the party was accompanied by George Elsen, once ‘famous as the guide for the illâ€"fates Wallace Hubbard Labrador expedition of 1903â€"4. He had with him his Indian wife. Also in the party was a ycoung Englishman by the name of E. Hand, n cce oo memememateme .. " _ â€" JJ eC 1 going out of the north for the first time ; in seven years.

Hand was bound for England and home, and was he happy! ] | | | | | ! ! l ! i | On arrival at the bridge site the next. problem was to thumb a ride out of the 1 bush. There were several others waitâ€" ing there for the same purpose, all eaâ€" ger to get away to the south country before the rapidly approaching winter set in. When the truck came during the next day, hopss for a ride to Coral Rapids seemed to be gone when it was learned it carried the superintendent and members of the T. N. 0. Railway Commission, a halfâ€"dozen dignified gentlemen on a tour of inspection. They had left their special car at Coral Rapids. Introductions to the official party were arranged for the Ohioans and an invitation to share the truck with them on the trip back to Coral Rapids was extended. Soon they were clipping back over the rails, accomâ€" panied even by the young husky dog ‘ which one of the party had plurchased from an Indian at Moose Factory. The dog, by the way, was iater shipâ€" ped from Cochrane in a crate and arâ€" rived safely in Columbus to take a place with three Alaskan huskies alâ€" ready ownsed by the purchaser. The young husky was christened "Abitibi Shashâ€"Mush," which translated from Cree Indian means "Abitibi Chases Flies." On the train southbound from Coral | Rapids next morning were the three Ohioans, free traders outâ€"bound for a "bust" in the city, and a number of prospectors. As the day wore on and the train slouched along, there was growing tenseness in the car and careâ€" ful consultation of watches. It seems that the train is scheduled to arrive at Cochrane at 2.30 pm., but the train never but once made it on time. That was the occasion of a special train carrying an official delegation of Canâ€" adian officials. The train usually arâ€" rives in Cochrane anywhere from 4.30 to midnight. A delegation called on the conductor and asked hiin to tell the engineer "to speed her up just a little." The conductor knows that 5 p.m. is the zero hour of arrival, that being the hour the government liquor store closes. We will be glad to explain the new Law concerning owners and trucks to you fully.

At a quarter of five the train was still three miles out of Cochrane, but the engineer was picking up a litâ€" tle speed, probably hiting off about 12 miles an hour. ‘The "Polar Bear" swung around the edge of the town and finally grunted into the station, it‘s tongue, figurativeâ€" ly speaking, hanging out a foot. There was a grand rush. In the meantime, however, some of the more enterpris« ing passengers had swung off the train on the other side of Cochrane and had footed it down the dusty road to the back door, cutting off a block or so and beating the train in by a hundred yard.
