To the Editor of The Advance, Timmins, Ont. Dear Sinâ€"Myself and The Porcu- pine Advance were first to propose the Timmins-Sudbury road and we have done a hundred times the advertising of it than anyone else.

If it is intend- ed for a few like the rocky Superior road then it is not needed at all and should be dropped entirely. It‘s too costly to build roads for easy living people only. Build it where it will do the greatest good and earn the most. Being one of seven men who made the finds that started Porcupine rush I wish to say that I honestly believe if the Porcupine branch of T. N. O. Ry. had been built where it should have been and that it went from Matheson through that great farming area to Nighthawk Lake that there would be two or three more big gold mines in the North. because it would have run right through the Porcupine Gold Belt and more money would have been available to work Nighthawk mines, and also from Matheson west where lots of gold can be found. Should it ever be necessary, the railway could be run east to Lightning from Matheson and tap Creosus and other good pro- perties, some of which may yet turn to be big boys. If it were not for the mines and settlers we would not need any roads in this North for they would be useless. So I think those who ad- vocatc a short straight route should think twice and take into considera- tion the stores and business places and settlers and others' who have as much right to benefit from this road as they have and others who are always in such Highway Route Should be for Use Not for Politics a great hurry.

The New Liskeard Speaker last week sayszâ€"“While politicians have been playing ball with the Trans-Canada highway proposition, and while “those with a pull" have been having a cer- tain amount of work done in their sec- tions without those in other parts of the North knowing anything about it. prospectors have been making big dis- coveries in the Long Lake section of Northwestern Ontario, and right in the area it was suggested the Trans-Canada highway should run, if the Northern route were finally selected. Had the politicians taken this jab on with a de- sire to secure a Trans-Canada highway, instead of trying to make use of the proposition as a vote catcher, which didn‘t catch. the big undertaking would have been nearing completion by this time and Old Ontario would have had direct motor connection. via alge was received. This will be alarm- ing news to any one who may have acquired interests in that section of Northern Ontario. and is greatly to be regretted by the people of Ontario. A representative of The Speaker was present on the occasion of the driving of the spike which formally opened the new road for business, at which the speakers were former Premier Henry, former Premier Drury and Justice Latchford, a former member of the Ontario Liberal cabinet. which spon- sored the building of the first span of the T. a: N. 0. Everyone of these speakers made claims on behalf of themselves for "special mention” for the part they had individually taken to promote the extension of the T. N. O. Ry. And. although we must confess we had grave doubts about the wisdom of the undertaking, we decided that probably these men knew more about it than we did and decided that criticism would be in bad form on our part. However, if Premier Hepburn is properly quoted, the upper reaches of the Ontario owned railroad are not as promising as we had been led to be- lieve, although we hardly agree with his sentiment as expressed in the words that “It starts nowhere and ends noâ€" where." because Cochrane. as the for- mer “end or steel" and division point. established by reason of the building of the upper C.N.R. line. under Liberal auspices. is some real town. and. under favourable conditions. might easily aspire to cityhood in the near future." olinc and booze will not mix when a motor car is being driven, and likewise petty politics and good business will not mix when the best is to be looked for in road building. Long Lake is so situated that there are only two pos- sible routes available from Eastern to Western Ontario. One route must cut across the northern end of the lake and thus enter the Nipigon area, or else the rocky and crooked shores of Lake Superior must be made use of Common sense would indicate the ad- vantages of the Northern route. but political necessities frequently do not consider common sense.” The New Liskeard Speaker last week made the following comment on the report that service on the T.

The announcement proceeds to say that assistance will be maintained to those already trying to make a living on the homesteads of the North. In regard to this assistance it is difficult to see how it could be considered as likely to be discontinued. Under the farm settlement plan the Dominion Government, the provincial Govern- ment and the muncipalities agreed to assist the settlers under a defined and distinct contrast. It may be within the province of the Government to discon- tinue further settlement under the land settlement plan. although in view of past circumstances and conditions even that seems scarceiy fair. Ontario adopted the plan inaugurated by Hon. W. A. Gordon, Minister of Coloniza- tion at Ottawa. and there were certain understandings between the two gov- ernments that leave a discontinuance of the plan by Ontario as more or less of a handicap to the Dominion plans. But certainly the assistance promised to those who have already taken up the plan could not ’be stOpped without evidencing direct breach of faith not Says No Mcre Men to be Put on Land Until Trade Improves.

Mr. Hepburn is quoted as say- ing:â€"-“I can see no useful purpose in putting men on the land until we get a sound trade policy. The money for this expensive colonization servise in Northern Ontario comes out of the taxes." It may he replied to this view- point that as most of those placed on taxes." It may be replied to this view- point that as most of those placed on the land under this plan would other- wise be on direct relief, there is no saving by discontinuing the plan, but the contrary is the fact. As to waiting until farm produce prices are at a higher level, that does not seem to be a far-sighted policy. For a couple of years. until they get really started at farming, the settlers have little con- cern about prices for produce. If prices come back in the next couple of years then the settlers under the plan will be all ready to reap the advantage. To wait for material increase in farm prices is simply' to defer success for a couple of years at least. When the land settlement plan was first taken up The Advance touched on the matter of prices for farm prOduce, pointing out that if prices were not good there would be little advantage in having the number of farms-increas- ed. The Advance urged some‘ plan or other whereby farmers and settlers could be assured of fair prices. Against this it was argued that the chief pur- p358 in the land settlement scheme at present was the caring for those who would otherwise be upon relief. The plan was designed to offer an oppor- tunity to men with knowledge and ex- perience in farming to start on home- steads in the North.

Already several hundred men have been estab- lished on farms in this way and bid fair to make good. While they may never make fortunes. they do stand the chance of becoming independent and able to care for themselves. From time to time The Advance has noted cases where success has apparently been won. according to the men on the. farms. There were at first certain mis- takes made that created some prejudice against the plan. It is only fair to say that these mistakes were chiefly traceable to misunderstanding or error on the part of the province. rather than the Dominion's plan. One of the main mistakes in this line was the at- tempt to place unsuitable men on the farms. Some of these men were so inexperienced and so unready to learn that their failure was sure from the start. Others were unfitted by temper- ment or outlook on life. Recently. however. . co-operation between muni- cipalities, province and Dominion has been so close. and the men chosen for land settlement have been generally of the type that gives good promise of ultimate success. Now, when the chances are good for the land settle- ment plan seem so pmpitious. it does seem a pity that it should be discon- tinued. meals a day that cost him six cents. During this time he has lost no weight nor felt any other ill effects. In the morning he boils three cents’ worth of whole wheat. which eaten with sugar and condensed milk. is his breakfast and lunch. At night he eats a meal of stewed vegetables, usually carrots. potatoes and onions. In regard to the settlement of the North.The Advance has held that for a great many years the plans for secur- ing and holding settlers have been on a poor basis. Even the assistance giv- en the settlers has been along wrong lines. It takes some time for the aver- age settler to establish himself as a. farmer. In the meantime, however, he must live, and in giving him this chance to live. the Government seems to have followed the wrong line. Roadwork has helped very materially to keep the settler going. but there has been the necessity, or, at least. the in- clination to have the roadwork keep the man while his farm-making ls held up while he works on the roads. The answer to the whole problem seems to lie in the adoption of some form of bonus for the clearing of land for homesteading. This would allow the farmer to remain on his farm, and, in the absence of pulpwood on his farm. allow opportunity for living until the farm should be on a paying basis. A land-clearing bonus such as appears to have been so good a success in Que- bec seems to be the answer here. It might be well for the present govern- ment to have this idea in mind if they return to the land settlemen plan. Huntingdon Gleaner : â€"â€"For two months, Arnold Rue.
