Last week The Advance referred to the crazy suggestion that some <imn- dreds of men should march from the Windsor district to the North Land, the pretended purpose of this parade being the taking up of land by the men in the crowd. As The Advance pointed out last week some of the municipal authorities of the Windsor area apâ€" peared to encourage the idea. Eviâ€" dently these authorities were only conâ€" cermned in the possible chance of getâ€" ting rid of number of unemployed. So anxious, indeed, were the authoriâ€" ties to get rid of the unemployed that their whole idea of the scheme seemed to be that the Government should transâ€" port the men to the North. Apparentâ€" ly it was thought that walking was too slow. It is difficult to believe that the original scheme of this parade could come from any other source than a red one. It has all the earmarks of the wonderful schemes of the alien reds, As a matter of fact, unless the despatches misrepresent it, the whole thing is worse than idotic. How would Asks Government to |** Protect the North| ;. despatches misrepresent it, the whole thing is worse than idotic. How would these men live on the way? Is there anvyone who thinks that an army of 800 should be allowed to march across the province in these days? Still more, how many of such an army would really go on farms in the North? Would they be able to make farming a success in this North? And just where? And, still more important, for the imâ€" mediate present, where and how would these men be fed and cared for until such time as they could be established on farms? On the orders of the day in House of Commons at Ottawa bro the matter to the attention of Government on Wednesday of week. Hansard, the official repor the proceedings in the Dominion liament, referred to the lows:â€"â€" Mr. J. A. Bradette (North Temiskaâ€" ming):â€" Mr. Speaker, may 1 direct the attention of the Government to the possibility of there being a substantial trek of unemployed into Northern Onâ€" tario this summer, and ask the Minister of Labour (Mr. Gordon) to do his utâ€" most to discourage any such pilgrimage.

It is something of this sort of literary feat that W. J. Gorman attempts in his column of "Grab Samples" last week in The Northern Miner. He catches much of the "atmosphere" of the camp and the prospector in his yarnâ€"spinâ€" ning mood. â€" The story as it appears in The Northern Miner goes like this: Tommy Saville, prospector, guide, philosopher and raconteur, is as full of stories as a nut is of meat. <~Camped at the halfâ€"way at Wapoose, between Gowganda and the new Tyrrellâ€"Knight gold area, Tommy is beguiling the long winter days and nights by putting some of his inimitable yarns on paper. to the great benefit of the conductor of this column.

Louis was right about having lots of "tings‘" to tells us. They rolled out of him like a gramophone; every once in a while he‘d stop for a deep breath, and away again, before we had a chance to horn in. He lectured us on science, history, evolution, psychology, biology, astronomy, but geology was his masterâ€" piece, his piece de resistance.

We both arose and went through the old formula about an enâ€" joyable evening, etc., and departed. The sun was scorching our eyes when we awoke next morning. "It‘s a wonâ€" der Louis hasn‘t been around before this," I remarked to Bill while we were smoking after breakfast, waiting for him to take us over his "showings." ‘"Maybe he‘s peeved," replied Bill. "You know how touchy them old single JjJacks get living alone. Go on over and square yourself," he suggests, smiling.
