A noted English traveller some years ago visited Canada and found it but a poor place to him. The green banks of Quebec did not appeal to him. The forests were dull and dreary. The Great Lakes were wild and sullen to this visiâ€" tor. Even the Rocky Mountains were but misty and forâ€" bidding lumps upon the face of nature in his eyes. This traveller never had a good word for Canada and its wonders. The trouble, however, was not in the country, but in the fact that during all his stay here the traveller suffered from ulcerated teeth. He only saw the country, as it were, through the twitching eyes of aching teeth and sore gums. Many people of the Northk and the South had suffered similarly about Moosonee. Their one visit to that new counâ€" try had been made under difficulties and in tribulation. They travelled on the ten hour trip fram Cochrane without proper sleeping accommodation. They had eramps in the arm and stitches in the leg and pains in the neck from stwiving to steal a nap or two on the hard seats of a day coach. They landed at Moosoree, weary and â€" irritated. ‘They had not seen the wonderful sceenic effects along the way nor enjoyed the ozgoneâ€"laden air. When the auction sale of lots at Moosonee commenced they were in that state of illâ€"humour where the Angel Gabriel would fail to please, let alone a Toronto auctioneer. They may at one time have had visions of the possibilitiee of Moosonee and the counâ€" try round about, but in the uncomfortable night the visions turned to nightmares. The editor of The Cochrane Northâ€" land Post was one of those whose dreams,â€"inherited dreams they were,â€"soured for a few discomforts. But the Cochrane editor took a second trip under happier circumstances and the vision of his father is restored. "There can be no doubt as to the uitimate growth and progress of Moosonee" the Mcoosonee has proven itself a cure for the pip. A lot of people who had that irritating disease in regard to the counâ€" try north of Cochrane, and especially for the new townsite near James Bay, are human once more. The recent trip to Moosonee for the official completion of the railway extenâ€" sion and the opening of the new town 186 miles from Cochâ€" rane gave them sitfrcease from the itch of grumbling and the rheum of complaint. In saying this, it should be added that trip to Moosonee should cure more serious ills than megrims and bilious dispositions. Air, with the perfume of the woods in its ozone, and touched with the tang of the sea at Moosonee; forests and lakes and rivers to delight the eye and charm the mind; sky lines and sunsets never to be forgotten; comfort and good company on the trip; these gladdened the hearts and eased the minds and bodies of men who were tired as they started the trip but completed it with vigor renewed and strength redoubled. The virtue of Temagami is well knawn now, and Moosonee is greater in effect than even Temagami. a very favourable deal for the province. If private interests were to take over the Canyon project and complete it by the time specified in the contract the province would be obligated to the extent of over a million dollars a year for power for which there would be no immedia.tte market. This feature of the case should not be lost sight of. It is beside the point to question the good judgment of the contract entered upon in this regard. It was made in more normal times. It lookâ€" ed good then. To suggest that it will not lock good in years to come is to throw aside all faith in this great North. The general feeling in the North will be that there was hope that a better bargain might have been made but that nothing but the acquiring by the province of the power project would be good business, and it may be that the terms suggested are really equitable all round. The bondholders are taking a loss of considerable amount. The province is securing a bargain to the same extent. In any event the province will be freed from a contract that for the moment does not apâ€" pear good, and the province acquires full right and ownerâ€" ship in a major power development plan for the North. With the coming expansion and development of the North, â€"an expansion and development that no one with faith in the North can doubtâ€"the province‘ can look with confidence upon the investment as one that will eventually assure good returns both for the province and for the North. to those who had invested actual money to meet a demand for power that was apparent at the time the project comâ€" menced and that will again be evident when more normal times return. giving of $18,000,000.00 worth of Hydro Electric Commission | bonds in exchange for the $20,000,000.00 of bonds issued by the Ontario Power Servi'ce Corporation to finance the poweri development. There is little doubt but that the bondholders of the Ontario Power Service Corporation‘ will accept such | an offer. It certainly looks to their advantage to do so.| There does not seem any chance of a more favourable offex'f being made by other interests. At the same time it may be f There will be general interest in the North in the anâ€" nouncement by Premier Henry that the Government was offering to take over the Abitibi Canyon project by the While the North Land is vitally inverested in the question of electric power, there has been no dispcoesition on the part of the people of this country to urge the province into the purâ€" chase of the Abitibi Canyon project, except on terms that will be equitable to all concerned. To many the fact that this country has had to depend entirely upon private enterâ€" prise for any supply of electric power suggests that some consideration is due to the individuals and corporations who may have risked their money to meet a need that was urgent but that was considered tcoo uncertain or venturesome for public ownership. The Hydro Electric Commission of Onâ€" tario failed to enter the North so long as there was risk in the venture. It remained for private enterprise to meet the situation, and it seems scarcely fair to abuse the men who risked real money when octhers would not take a chance. At least the venturesome ones should have some surety for the actual capital they invested. This seems but fair. On the other hand the North Land has no desire to see the proâ€" vince muleted for water that might be run into power stocks. The announcement by Premier Henry that the Government was disposed to purchase the Abitibi Canyon power project on "equitable terms," voiced the general opinion of the North as to what should be done, provided that "equitable terms" meant a fair deal to the people of Ontario as well as Subscription Rates Canadaâ€"$2.00 Per Year United 8 TIMMINS, ONTARIO Members Canadian Weekly Newspaper Association; Ontarioâ€" Quebec Newspaper Association:; Class "A" Weekly Group OFFICE 26â€"â€"â€"â€"PHONESâ€"â€"â€"â€"RESIDENCE 70 Published Every Thursday by: Timmins Che Horrugine Aduvanes Thursday,, July 28th, 1932 Ont., Thursday, July United Statesâ€"$3.00 Per Year The Northern Tribune, or RKapuskasing, complains that "practically none" of the guests at the recent opening of Moosonee were from points north of North Bay. Of course everybody suspects that what really in worrying The Triâ€" bune was the absence of one particular Northern visitor from the trip. As a matter of fact, however, there were 31 of the guests on the trip who are residents of the area north of North Bay. In addition there were a number of T. N. 0. officials who are more intimately concerned with the country north of North Bay than they are with North Bay itself, though they reside in the Gateway City, soâ€"called, FPurther, there were a number on the trip whose residences were given as Toronto, Hamilton, Ottawa, Niagara Falls, etc., but who in reality are as much concerned in the North as anyvone in Kapuskasing. In this list, for instance, might be placed "Harry Oakes, of Niagara Falls." In real life he is Harry Oakes, the discoverer of the Lake Shore Mine and the man whose courage and faith put Kirkland Lake on the map. In fairness :o the T. N. 0. Commission it should be noted that in compiling a list of guests for the opening of Mcosonee they had a~very difficult task. indeed. The wonder is that they succeeded in such notable way in he work. The number had to be restricted, and yet had One newspaper places an unfortunate and misleading heading over an excellent report of part of the Imperial Conference at Ottawa. The heading reads:â€"*"Canada Wants Great Britain to Boycott Russian Goods." This headâ€" ing does not fairly represent what Canada asks. It does not | accurately describe what Hon. R. B. Bennett said. It does | not properly reflect the import of the article it heads. It would be more in keeping with the motive of Hon. Mr. Benâ€" nett‘s address to say that "Canada Asks Great Britain for | Fair Protection for the Workers and Producers of the Emâ€" pire." The competition of Russia in lines such as wheat | and lumber are particularly resented by Canada because the competition is unfair. It is the competition of what is pracâ€" I tically slave labour against free men seeking a decent stanâ€" \ dard of living. In her invasions of world markets in the fpast Russia has based her prices, not on costs or wages, but ‘on her own immediate needs, together with the idea that any injury that might be done to other nations would prove in some way or another a benefit to the Soviet. It is true ‘that from her dumpings and her sacrifices of material in Eworld markets Russia drew little real advantage, but it is _equally true that the Soviet‘s methods of conducting busiâ€" ness has injured every country that has had to do business in the same world markets. The stand of Canada in regard to the Soviet‘s unfair and evil competition has met with ‘strong support from other Dominions. There does appear to be some disposition on the part of the delegates from the British Isles to question the advisability of shutting out Russian competition from Empire markets. Many may wonder why this attitude should be adopted. One Timmins citizen some time ago gave the answer. Indeed, he propheâ€" sied the very trouble that descended later upon Great Briâ€" tain. He pointed out that Great Britain‘s financiers in their illogical desire for questionable trade had loaned money to Russia after that country had been refused in every other financial centre in the world. In some cases London, Engâ€" land, had borrowed money from France to loan it to Russia. London had to repay the loan, but Russia let its debt to Lonâ€" don be defaulted. Why there should be desire to trade with Russia, a defaulter in its obligations, and the selfâ€"confessed and willing bankrupt, is one of the oddities of the British! mind. Trading with Russia is no better than dealing with the receiver of stolen goods. The wheat and lumber offered by Russia is taken by force, as it were, from the producers, and offered for what it will bring. Anything secured seems to be profit under the Russian plan. Hon. Mr. Bennett put the case in more diplomatic language. Stateâ€"controlled standards of living, Atateâ€"coritrolled labour, stateâ€"aided dumping dictated by high state policy, conflict in theory and practice, said Mr. Bennett, with the free institutions of the British Empire. The subordination of individual rights and liberty to a national economic plan affronts the whole idea of national development, he declared. This is one way of saying that free labour, such as Canada has built up after many years of struggle, should not be expected to compete in the Empire market, with the state products of forced labour that cannot be considered in fact as anything else than in a slave state. If the Imperial Conference does noâ€" thing else than force Russia to play the game with its own people as well as with the world of nations in general, it will have occomplished great good for the world as well as for the Empire. If it fails to remove the unfa‘ir competition of slaveâ€"ridden Russia from Empire trade it will have failed in a large way. The pavement between Timmins and South Porcupine has apparently been treated to a permanent wave. GRAVEL AND SANDâ€"AND PLACER . "If any of you have doubts about the future of this counâ€" try, now is the time for you to renew your confidence and belief." said Geo. W. Lee, chairman of the T. N. O. Railâ€" way, at the formal ceremony at Moosonee on July 15th, 1932. | A trip to Mcosonee is the best cure for any doubts about Moosonee or the country north of Cochrane. It rests in the hands of the T. N. O. Railway Commission to renew and to build faith in the country north of Cochrane. Let the commission organize another trip, or several trips, to Moosonee this year. Those who were on the trip a few weeks ago are firm in their faith. There are, however, many who are dissatisfied because they missed that trip. They ‘have fair cause for regret. The trip was necessarily limited and restricted in the number that could be accommodated. In might be well worth while to run another excursion open to the public of the North and South. All would return from such a happy outing confident in their faith in the new land, delighted with the T. N. O. service and benefitted in health and pleasure by the interesting jaunt. |Wmm-~ww editor says. It was his father, the late Otto Thorning, who more than any other single man in all the North envisioned the possibilities of the great country north of Cochrane. In October 1921, a public meeting held in Cochrane on the memorable occasion of celebrating the turning of the first sod on the James Bay extension, presented to Otto Thornâ€" ing a beautiful shield mounted on a panel and expressing appreciation to Otto Thorning for his untiring efforts toâ€" wards having the T.

Wisely, for the North they turned to boards of trade rather than municipal representatives.

There are several from North South that The Advance would have wished to have seen included in the list of guests at the formal opening, but the line had to be drawn somewhere.

The commission, generally speakâ€" ing, made a very careful selection, without thought of poliâ€" tics or personality,;except so far as these were evidenced in the advancement of the North. It should be remembered also that many were invited from the North, as well as from the South, who were unable to be present.
