Phone 647 "This resolution received the support of the majority of those present at the "conference." Then followed the original resolution which had been preâ€" sented by Mr. Wright from the Temisâ€" kaming Associated Boards of Trade, "That this conference make a reâ€" commendation to the Government of Ontario that they build the road from Sault Ste. Marie on to White River and through to Nipigon, and that the road be connected wp from Hearst to Horneâ€" payne and White River; and for every mile built between the Soo and White River that one mile be built between Hearst and White River. And that we leave it to the Governâ€" ment as to which line they want to call the Transâ€"Canada Highway. Also that we ask for a road from the Transâ€"Canada highway into Chapleau" battle waged all afternoon and until early evening when the chairman decided to apply the closure and call for a vote. There was no attempt made to check up on the delegates preâ€" sent, and it was alleged that there were men at the meeting hoosting for the North Shore route representing noâ€" thing more than a "sign post." Howâ€" ever, "everything went" and three reâ€" solutions were placed before the meetâ€" ing. The first vote was in connection with a resolution from Chapleau askâ€" ing that the Government be asked to link up the Hearstâ€"Soo sections with a road going West from some point to be agreed upon. This was lost. The second vote, which was the amendâ€" ment and the resolution and advanced by the Soo was as follows:â€" 1 ‘"However, the "crowd" came down with one object in view, and that cbâ€" I ject was to attempt to compel the Governments to build the road along the Lake Shore. This was apparent from the opening moments of the meeting, and the discussion really feaâ€" tured a battle between Soo and Chapâ€" leau interests, the Northern delegation keeping pretty much out of the "scrap" having decided to leave it up to the Governments interested. Dyring the controversy between Mr. James Lyons, M.P.P. of the Soo and Mr. George Nicholson, M.P. for East Algoma who were the only members of parliament present, contradictions were numerous and invariably it was shown that gross exaggeration had been made by the speaker so checked. For examprle Mr. Lyons left the impression that a place called White River, celebrated for the severity of its winter weather, was a community about the size of New Lisâ€" keard. On being checkq@d up by a Chapleau delegate it was found that there were only about sixty houseâ€" holders in the community referred to. _On cther occasions it was shown that the considerable mileage of road alâ€" leged to have been put down really constituted about a third of the actual distance ‘the road had traversed from its starting point.. These are but a few instances which demonstrated the differences of opinion as between the Chapleau and Soo interests, and only goes to prove the reasonableness of the resolution of the Northern Assoâ€" clated Boards. > 1 1 i “ ‘"‘Members of the Temiskaming Asâ€" sociated Board of Trade, after already having twice endorsed the Northern Route, with a turn down to Port Arâ€" (thur and Fort William, for the third time at Iroquois Falls last week enâ€" dorsed that resolution and directed that a committee attend the conferâ€" ence on Wednesday to present the resolution and move a motion asking for immediate conclusion of surveys. a decision on the part of the Governâ€" ment and commencement of work on which ever route the Government enâ€" gineers decided was the correct one. Could anything have been fairer, less open to selfishness and more of a comâ€" promising nature? At the conference on Wednesday President Wright and Col. Armstrong ably and logically preâ€" sented this phase of the question and under ordinary circumstances, theiri remarks would have received greater consideration than they did. ‘"Name it what you may, the alleged conference held at North Bay on Wedâ€" nesday to "pick" a route for the road through Northern Ontario proved most entertaining, and at the same time exâ€" emplified the success of the steam rollâ€" ing tactics adopted by the C.

When the Federal Government beâ€" gins to study means of increasing the stocks of sport fish in stream and lakes that are not patronized by ~spawning salmon, it suggests that they are beâ€" coming conscious of the cash value of tourists traffic and their work deserves the suppiort of the public. Anglers come to Canada from all over the world for trout fishing and spend large sums of money in cities, on boats and railways and at fishing resorts. (Financial News.) At Paul Lake, near Kamloops, a young Canadian scientist, Charles Motley, is studying ithe life habits of trout, conducting his research under the ausplices of the biological board of Canada.

"Do you remember the garden we had in Manitoba?" one of the diners asked in a general way." "Sure," answered a chorus. "And it was some garden," was the comment of one individual. All those in the know laughed heartily and it was apparent that Manitoba‘s worldâ€"famed fertility did not extend to the bush country to the north. "How much did we really get out of the garâ€" den?" the cook was asked. "I think we got enough for soup for one meal." of vegetables over long portages or rough roads is quite a chore and while evaporated vegetables and fruit are splendidly prepared, they pall on the appetite after a steady diet. After a few weeks of tinned stuff it is not unâ€" usual to hear the request at table, "Pass up the ‘desecrated‘ potatoes, Bill" "One of the first things after the clearing away of bush is the planting of a garden. No matter how hopeless the cutlook for a crop the garden gets tender care. Usually the cook adds it to his multitudinous tasks, but miners trom underground and others on the staff take a whirl at farming in off time hours. "Sometimes the getting in of fresh vegetables to outlying mining operâ€" ations is quite a problem. The toting den and always somebody who will make that desire come true. At nearly all outlying mining properties that are being worked there are gardens that are the pride and delight of all.

GRADING OF DIFFERENT QUALITIES CANNED GOODS A despatch last week from Haileyâ€" bury says:â€" "Haileybury and other parts of the North Land mourns the death of James Henry Stitt, cne of the cldest residents of Haileybury and a citizen widely known in this section of the North. The late J. H. Stitt had lived in Haileybury for a quarter of a century moving ‘there in 1906. Up to the time of the fire in October, 1922, he and Mrs. Stitt had conducted the Stitt House, a temperance hotel. Their contact with the public made them widely and favourably known. Born in Kemptville, Ont. in November, 1855, Mr. Stitt spent the early years of his life there. Later, he went to Renfrew where he lived for 15 years, afterwards coming to Haileybury. Mr. and Mrs. Stitt were married in Pembroke in 1884 and surviving are the widow and one son, James Brownless Stitt, at present in South America. Other surviving reâ€" latives are three grandchildren, one brother, G. A. Siitt of Toronto, and two sisters, Mrs. Eckley, Toronto, and Mrs. Colborne, Ottawa. Mr. Stitt was an Anglican in religion and a Conserâ€" vative in politics. His particular hobby was gardening. Mr. Stitt was a famâ€" iliar figure at the curling rink in the winters.

Ballantyne. superâ€" a |intendent of the Dominion Experiâ€" . | mental S:ation, Kapuskasing, Ont. Mr. a | Ballantyne has been a resident of the North Land for around a quarter of a s | century, with practical experience as , | settler and farmer, as. well as having a . | wide scientific knowledge of agriculâ€" ; | tural affairs. If anyone is in position . to give assistance to settlers and others in regard to land clearing or allied questions, it should be Mr. Balâ€" lantyne. In regard to methods of land clearing Mr. Ballantyne says:â€" "In a timbered country such as we have in Northern Ontario, the clearâ€" ing of land is of vital importance. Several methceds have been tried out, but the only sane method and one that can be recommended is: first, seâ€" |lect an area that has clay soil or shalâ€" low muck preferably; secondly, cut all |merchantable timber such as pulp logs | and fire wood properly, pile all brush and timber of no value so that the area is all piled for a fire which is the chief factor in cheap clearing. When I Cw € the proper time arrives for fire, the area should be burned and any logs left should be reâ€"piled and burned. On the success of the burn depends the whole matter of efficiency in future ‘clearing as it keeps down sucker growth and also insures a good catch of grass and clover which is essenâ€" tial for pasture and the building up of the soil for a crop when the time arâ€" rives for the final clearing, which takes from seven to gight years if the stumps are left to decay and rot. In an exâ€" periment in land clearing conducted at the Dominion Experimental Farm, Kapuskasing, Ont., it was found that the cost of clearing decreased in five years from $63 to $46. Where the l period was extended to 8 to 12 years and left in pasture the cost dropped to $10 and $18 per acre the work being accomplished by hand, owing to the process of the weathering agents which is of vital importance. A light seeding of grass is recommended immediately after the burn, such as four founds of red clover, two pounds alsike and four pounds of timothy. This insures a good pasture and also assists in keepâ€" ing sucker growth in check, which is | one of the problems of the North, as second growth poplar, etc., soon kill out pasture and in a few years you have a second cost if proper methods are not rescrted to in the rt.oneer| stage." * ‘ Th s o iL in s in N TL Nn in MAE Mn se es es e uo s superintendent of Kapuskasing Experâ€" imental Station Gives Helpful Information on Land Clearâ€" ing in North.
