Starting on Work to Link Two Mining Camps by Road An editorial note in The Sudbury Star last week says:â€"*"Sudbury has not yet received definite assurance of the construction of the advocated highway between the nickel city ang Timmins, but the uitimate building of the road seems certain. According to Hon. Chas. McCrea, a start is to be made on stretches in the northern area that may eventually lead to a consummaâ€" tion of the project. Such a developâ€" ment must come in the future, because its advantages are obv.ous." Once more the Grand Jury at the assizes at Haileybury last week conâ€" demned the Chidren‘s Aid Shelter building at Haileybury as "entirely inâ€" adequate." They also recommended more assistance for the matron who has supervision over 13 children with only one maid to assist her. eebeiy Ajoao71 ul 9A1] : ... 0. .0. , b»ov.oooooooo.ooooooooowooooowooooowoo.ooowoowoomoouoonoonconooninoonoonoonoouoonoouoou00uoonoouoouoonoouoo"oouoouooMoouoouoouoonooooooooooooooo Try The Advance Want Advertisements * o *, w 6. 0. _0 .0.,0_,0__0, .0. 0 .08 0_ 00. .0. .0. .0,,2, C 0. _o_ _0 :06 _6 .o e o o _ 4 0% 000000000'0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 #+4, 0000000000000000000000000000000000600000o 0000000000’0000000000000000000000000000 $ ~% See! + 0’000 0000 0 Moderately Priced and Guaranteed W.

A. Bradcttc, M.P., Helid Dominion Govt. Should Have Say in Route of Transâ€"Canada Highway. Also Reference to Settlers, In the House of Commons last week Jos, A. Bradette, M.P. for this riding, brought up two qucstions of importance to this part of the North and was anâ€" swered by Hon. W. A. Gordon, the "Minister from the North." Mr. Braâ€" dette made reference to conditions among some of the settlers in the North, but Hon. Mr. Gordon thought Mr. Bradette pictured too dark a picâ€" ture of the situation. In answer to the direct qauestion from another member, Hon. Mr. Gordon pointed out that the "backâ€"toâ€"theâ€"land" plan was working more successfully thamany of the previâ€" ous ventures along this line. In referâ€" ence to the route of the Transâ€"Canada highway, Hon. Mr. Gordon pointed out that that was a provincial matter. The details in regard to settlers also came under provincial jurisdiction Mr. Gorâ€" don sa‘ld. The following summary 0i the discussion between Mr. Bradette and Mr. Gordon will be of general inâ€" terest. It is taken from Hansard, the official report of proceedings in the House of Commons:â€" About Settlers and Transâ€"Canada Road Mr. Bradette:â€"I wish to discuss the question mentioned by the member for Kenoraâ€"Rainy River, and of which the Minister has knowledge.

THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO $200.00 per year they get for three years, to supply themselves with the necessary seed grain. This being so, I think that everyone will realize at once that unless the necessary seed is given them free the people who have settled under the "backâ€"toâ€"theâ€"land" moveâ€" ment will find it utterly impossible to get along this season, because they canâ€" not provide seed for themselves this year. It is true that some of these people have been cperating under the/ scheme for the last two years, and some K settlecd last year. The question may be asked:â€"How is it that these new setâ€" | tlers did not find it possible to grow sufficient grain to supply their own reâ€" quirements for the coming season? Well, the answer will suggest itself to anyone who is at all familiar with the climatic conditions that prevailed last summer in that part of the country. The conditions were such last year on account of the drought that practically n> grain could beâ€" grgwn on the land by these people, and that should conâ€" vince the committee, and the Minister that it would be impossible for these people, out of the $200.00 they receive under the tripartite arrangement, tha ccntributors being the municipal, proâ€" vincial and federal authorities, to proâ€" vide sufficient funds to buy the necesâ€" sary seed grain. I believe that the government of Ontario led the settlers in my cwn section of Northern Ontario as a whole to understand that they would be supplied with seed this spring. Now, I do not believe in giving a wrong impression of any situation, but I am bound to say to the minister that in iny section not five per cent. of the setâ€" tlers will be in a position this spring to buy seed grain, and I know that if the grain is not given them free most of ‘the area ploughed last fall will remain uncultivated. It will be absolutely imâ€" possible for these people to put the grcound under crop, and from that stateâ€" ment the committee will realize that the situation will be aggravated next fall; it will ‘be worse than it is this spring. I do nct know how far the federal authority will go in supplying the seed grain to the settlers who have been on these farms a number of years, but I do know that under the back to the land scheme the government will have to find funds sufficient to supply with seed for the coming spring the new men placed under the direct policy of the fcderal government. Reverting to the important question of the Transâ€" Canada highway, I must repeat the statement I made a few moments ago that when that message on the subject was dclivered by Mr. Finlayson it was received with considerable enthusiasm in my own section of the country. In view of the fact that the federal govâ€" ernment is contributing fifty per cent. of the money spent on the Transâ€"Canâ€" ada highway, I think it should have something to say in regard to the routâ€" ing of this highway, and we fervently hope that, in the light of the knowledg©o and experience of the present federal Minister of Labour, the routing will be cne that will satisfy our section. I will not take up the time of the committee read :ng several editorials that have apâ€" peared in the Northern Tribune of | Kapuskasing and in the Cochrane Northland Post, but it is pointed out in these articles that it would be deâ€" plor: ble if the government did not pusi the ruute westward folowing the Canâ€" adian National line as far as Nakina, then branching off with the other branch or the Transâ€"Canada h.gbway from the sauthern section of Northern Ontarico and eventually connecting direct with Winnipeg. If the road were constructed inmnmediately south of the town of Hearst, following the Algoma Central and giving direct communicaâ€" tion with Sault Ste. Marie, that would not provide a solution of the pmblcm from our point of view, because it would not give the communication to ! we are entitled. I should like the minâ€" PFREMIER L. P. D. TILLEY In answer to the Dominion Audito In answer to the Dominion Auditorâ€" General‘s alleged charges regard‘ng relief irregularities in New Brunsâ€" wick, Premier L. P. D. Tilley (above) stated: "When the investigations arse, completed, I believe it will ‘be found that relief disbursements in New Brunswitk were carried out as regularly and as effic:ently as in any province in Canada." Defends Relief Accounts DRUGSâ€"-Lots at Half Price, others very much reduced in the press any announcement that Mr. Finlayson may have made, but I have no doubt that it was made as the hon. member has salid. However, the routing of the Transâ€"Canada highway throughout the various provinces is a matter which is of course entirely withâ€" in the judgment of the provinces, and the federal authority has been in the past from time to time formally noliâ€" fied of the terms of any order in counâ€" cil dacsignating any particular stretch of what has been euphoniously called the Transâ€"Canada highway. That offâ€" cial notification the federal government has not yet received; I suppose wr shall receive it in due coursse. With respect to the bonusing of settlers, that is a purely provincial matter. I do not share the glcomy view which my hon. friend from North Tem‘:skaming seems to hold of the position of the farmter and the settler in Temiskamingâ€"inâ€" deedâ€"it is probably to be regretted ho has painted the picture as he has. I, think I am as woll acquainted as any | cther person with the farmers and setâ€" tlers in that country, and while they have had their difficulties, I have seen years when the difficulties were imâ€" measurably more trying than they have been in the last four or even in the last ten years. They have through the clay belt adopted methods of farming that perhaps have placed them in the foreâ€" front of agricultural activities in Canâ€" ada. They have no trouble in hokling up their end at any of the agricultura:® fairs. They have a large mining marâ€" ket at hand of which they take advantâ€" age; they are organized in a coâ€"operaâ€" tive sense to sell their vegetables and all the other products of the farm and | to put them up in an attractive wayl for those big mining markets, and I certainly do not share with my hon. friend the picture he paints of the farâ€" mer and settler in Temiskaming. With respect to seed grain, that is another purely provincial matter, and I am informed that at no time have the federal government advanced money directly to the farmers for seed grain. They have for many years past at times lent money to some of the provinces which in turn have supplied seed grain to those unable to procure it for themâ€" selves. If in centain localites or with certain individuals the condition is as the hon. member for North Temiskamâ€" ing has stated, then the proper course would be to call the attention of the provincial authorities to that situation. because in spite of what has been said here, I still have enough confidence in the provincial authorities of Ontario to feel that they will take care of a situaâ€" tion like that and not see worthy setâ€" tlers unable to put in a crop because of their not being able to finance the purâ€" chase of seed grain. Mr. Bradette repeated his idgea that the Dominion Government, paying half the cost of the Transâ€"Canada highway should certainly have some say as to the route. In reference to the settlers he added that while he did not want to paint a glcomy picture, neverthcâ€" less west of Cochrane in the Hearst, Kapuskasing and Cochrane district, "nearly 90 per cent. of the farmers and settlers have ‘been on direct reliefâ€" for the past two years, and were it nct for that relief most of them would have found it impossible to live on their holdings." In answer to Mr. Gray as to whether the Minister suggested that the men under the "backâ€"toâ€"theâ€"land" plan were making a success, Hon. Mr. Gordon made the following reply, as set out in Mr. Gordon:â€"That is what our reâ€" ports state. I saw an exhaustive reâ€" port made ‘by the Reverend J. C. Cochâ€" rane who has had an extensive experiâ€" ence in colonization work throughout that part of Northern Ontario. His reâ€" port was made public and I think pubâ€" lished subsequently by the Ontario government. I had an opportunity to read it, and I depend a great deal on anything the Reverend Mr. Cochrane would say, knowing him as I do and knowing his expcrience in opening up land for settlement there, and his close contact with and interest in the setâ€" tlers in the early stages of establishing their farms and getting their buildings in shape and developing their holdings. Although he makes some criticisms, I would say that of all the soâ€"called colonization schemes that have been inaugurated in the past there is none that has been as successful as this one of colonizaticon at home, although as I said some people got past the choosing commiitees who really had little chance from th> beginning to succeed. They were returned to the municipalities from which they came. Of course we must expect some failures. DEATH OF JOHN MURRAY AT CALLENLER ON APRIL 11 The death occurred 2t 10.30 Wednesâ€" day, April 11, of John Murray, at his hom> in Callander. He was born in the township of King 7+ years ago, April 19, and had been in ‘his district since Besides his wife he is surâ€" vived by three sons, Alex, Aturgeon Falls; _Joiin, South Porcupine and Archie, at home; and two daughters, Margaret Murray, R.N., New York, and Mrs. â€"P. Shielis, at home. Four broâ€" thers, Henry and David, Arthur; Anâ€" drew, Fort William and James, Kimâ€" sella, Alberta, also survive. s | lia.nquet Last Week. Everybody 1 had a Big Tme at South End. At the Vimy banquet in Timmins last wee‘k there were several mentions of the famous simillar event held at South Porcupine ten years ago. After the banquet last week there were further talks about the event of 1924. Those who were not present at the event wanted to know all about it. Some who were there also enquired as to what all happened. One returned man said:â€"‘"The Advance has a good report of everything.. The Advance would reâ€" port that banquet. Why not reproduce now the report published in 1924, s9 that all who were not present and all who were might know all about it."‘ The Advance is ready to admit that cold type.can not do credit to an event of that sort. The 1924 Vimy banquet was unique in its style and liveliness, and had to be attended to be fully appreciated. However, here is the reâ€" port of The Advance at the time:â€" Vimy Banquet at South Porcupine, 1924. "Between 350 and 400 returned soliâ€" diers from all parts of the camp gatherâ€" ed in the I.0.0.F. hall at South Porcuâ€" pine on Wednssday evening last at the dinner to cbserve the anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge. About 175 of the number came from T:immins and they marched from the station at South Porcupin© to the hall, singing the oldâ€" time songs. The committee in charge had a programme of unusual merit preâ€" pared for the occasion, and all preparaâ€" tions for the event had been carriscd. through with noteworthy success and thcroughness. There were two orchesâ€" tras from South Porcupine and Wolâ€" no‘s orchestra from Timmins, and there was a pleasing number of fine instruâ€" mental selections. Mr. Geo. E. Cole presided at the event, and opened proâ€" ceedings by reading the "Orders for the Day," a clever combination of witty allusions bearing on army life and reâ€" ferring to affairs of toâ€"day. Telegrams of regret at inability to be present were read from the Governorâ€"General, Lord Byng of Vimy; W. B. King, of the Naâ€" ticnal Dept. of Defence; Col. A. H. Borâ€" den, O.C. Div. No. 2; Major E. Holland; Lt.â€"Col. Armstrong of the 159th, who is laid up with a broken knee; Col. D. M. 'Brodle Sudbury; J. D. MacKay, Cochâ€" [ rane; Col. J.‘I. MacLaren, Hamilton; Rev. Fr. O‘Gorman, Cobalt; Col, Marâ€" tin, Ottawa; E. R. Tucker, Cochrane; A. Nicholls, Cobalt, and others. Amusâ€" ing "sposofy" replies were also read from Douglas Haig, whose regrets were that he could not even be present in spirit; Marshal Foch, the King of Belgium, Pershing, Lloyd George, and others, who seemed to know a lot of the local returned men.

Similar presentations were made to Messrs D. Kerr and D. Masâ€" lernan on the behalf of the Post Office Dept. Mr. Portin, in his clever makeâ€" up, added to the pleasure of the evening and proved a valuable enâ€" tertainer. There was lots of singing, specially chorus singing, all the oldâ€" time songs being chorused again and again. Mr. Norman Laing was present with a noble supply of song sheets to help the work along. A song by Mr. Tom Huntley made a big hit and all joined in the chorus. Ansther musical feature was W. Bennett who literally drew the crowd with his bagâ€" pipe selections. There were brief adâ€" dresses by Major Mac Lang, Sergt.â€" Major Ealey and others. Speaking of Sergeantâ€"Majors, W. B. Nicholson was right there with the voice to demand order. The dinner itsef was excellent with a complete menu of turkey and trimmings. Among those at the head table were Col. S. B. Scobell, Major Mac Lang, MP.P., Mayor McInnit, Reeve Gallagher and others. There wore two V.C. men in the gathering, and several others with high military distinctions."
