Whatever may be the fate or the administration of the‘ railway, at least it is to be hoped that the new government will not lose sight of the important place the railway bears in‘ relation to Northern development. And particularly in regard to the neWer section of the road, from Gochrane north to Moosonee. Within the last few days there has been a somewhat disturbing rumor to the effect that it is intended to greatly curtail service on the North extension. and to close the Inn at Moosonee. We sincerely trust that this rumor is without found- ation, as we feel that such a course of action would be ill advised. If, as sums quite likely, the north extens‘mn and the inn are not paying their way. we believe it is because full advantage is not being taken of the tourist pos- sibilities in connection therewith. seated by The Cochrane Northland “Post in the following editorial last Should Continue the Service to Moosonee line could never be made to pay. 80 It was said about the line to tap Par- cupine, Iroquois Falls, and so on.

Clucas, stores superintendent of the Ontario Air Service, suggested that a great many or the parts bought by the service seemed tobe only “junk.” He added that he had been told by the engine shop staff ’that some of the parts bought' by the government ser- vice had been apparently condemned. by the United States navy board and marked “scrap.” -, :Apart- from this rather startling sug- trust that the new government will not be prejudiced against it so that it will not receive fair consideration and treatment. ”’ Stores Official Says Ain Service Bought “Junk.” season is too far advanced far anything to be done this' year. but we believe that there is a potential source of con- siderable value lying dormant in the tourist possibilities o! Moosonee. “If the tourist possibilities of Moos!)- nee were the only possible source of business and traflc on the north ex- tension, we believe that the new gov- ernment would be, fully Justified in the rumored curtailment of service on the north end. But there are other things along the way. There is, for instance, ' the llgnlte bed at Blacksmiths Rapids, and the clay deposits. both of which ' merely await development. The new government may be readily excused for looking with a Jaundiced eye upon all matters sponsored: by its predecessors. and no doubt both these items come under suspicion. But to condemn them out of hand simply because they were touted by the 'forme'r administrations would seem to be a piece of poor busi- ness. In regard to the lignite deposit, it is known that the bed is an exten- sive one, and while considerable work of; an experimental nature was carried on in connection with it, we do not believe it received as thorough an in- vestigation as was warranted. It al- ways seemed to us that both the lignite fields and the clay deposits Were be- ing merely played with until such time as it would prove most opportune to drop them into the lap of some good friend of the party, to be developed for the gain and benefit of such friend or friends instead of for the benefit of the whole North. Be that as it may, 1 at least it is known that the china clay 3 is of a very good quality. and there is g 9.190. clay suitable for the making of‘ tire bricks which is reputed to be sec- J and to none in the whole country.

The weather was close to the ideal for a holiday, though some annoyance was caused by dust blowing on the grounds. The dust and other circumstances tempted many, to com- ment that the cyanide would not be suitable as an athletic park. The Tim- mins Racing Association has spent con- siderable time and money on this new track but it still hasits disadvantages to the public. To the Racing Associa- tion it has the disadvantage of making the selling of tags necessary and this is not the best plan for collecting for events. A large number neglected to buy tags and there was also a crowd up on the rocks to the South, these hav- ing the advantage of reserved seats, as it were. The way the dust came up was shown in the case of thedrag used to keep the track in the best of con- dition. A number of boys -sat down on the drag to weight it. Once round the ring meant that the boys were so covered with dust as to be a sight and to endanger their health. The. police stopped the boys at this game when the possible danger to the health of the lads was noticed. - : .
