Dear Sir:â€"The Advance had an item The following letter from H. A. Presâ€" ton was received this week, and deals with many.matters of interest:â€" Canada? IT‘ll bet the country that is in second place did not pay ther price t_'.l'nt about autos and that Canadians have. Just think how many farmers would still own their farms and others own their homes if we here in Canada, which is supposed: to have been for Canadians, could have got their cars for half what they did cost, as other countries do get them. And, yes, Mr. City Man, I want to ask you who is more deserving to own an auto than the farmers who keep the men who make cars alive and everyone else? The farmer does not get much money for his long day‘s work and what he grows, but someone else runâ€" ning around in cars gets three times what the farmer gets for the stuff the farmer grows. If he wishes to buy farm implements he sure pays much more for them than farmers overseas do, or farmers living in countries where cars sell for half what they do here, and yet this machinery is made in 4 wehiu,pwmumwmmowwa Ouudhnmnumd Mining Share values during the past 23 years active experience in the mining campés.

When I was six years old I used to ask Dad why the Yankee side of the river â€"was so big and things so cheap. He said:â€""My boy, Canada is a young country!" That‘s fifty years ago, and toâ€"day we are called young. Well, if we don‘t wake up we will be young a hundred years from now. If we are going to build the T. N. O.; and Canadian National Railways and expect them to pay big returns without any rcoads or towns and settlements, and do everything to hurt them, how ‘can we expect them to pay? We canr‘t expect farmers and others to live here if they have to pay double for everyâ€" thing that our neighbours do across the line, even if the goods are made in Canada. There was a time when you could buy your ticket in the U.8.A. and travel in Canada for one cent a mile cheaper than if you bought it at home â€"I used to do it at Niagara, many times going across to buy a ticket to Burks‘ Falls, Ont., and saving thus one cent a Not long ago I predicted that all this early hot weather means an early winter this year. I still say so and adâ€" vise everyone to get ready so far as fuel is concerned. Outside of nearly all the towns in the North there are immense quantities of deay, dry timber that should be got out, and the Govâ€" one can go and take it (but not to sell) just for their own use.

The North Bay Nugget says that the Transâ€"Canada truck is having trouble in the roadless region around Hearst. Cobalt, where The Nugget got its start, ‘used to be in a roadless region also. That‘s another thing! There are too many people like The Nugget. They would like to get some of the gold up here and get rich and then get out and knock the country. Why even the Reds and the communists like this North yet we hear our own people and newspapers knocking it. What made North Bay the place it is now? Some day if there should be coal or someâ€" thing else important found around the roadless region and west thereof, oh, my, won‘t the newspapers be quick to publish it. Perhaps, someâ€" one will start a newspaper there and build up a good business, then get out of the country just a little bit from the Gateway to the North. Can you tell me is the Gateway to the North at the south end of the town of North Bay, or is it at the north end? If it is at the north end, then North Bay must be in Old Ontario. Yours very truly H.
