If it‘s odd, then the most likely place to find it in Timmins would be in his boxes and trunks of treasures. He‘s had more than an average chance to indulge in collecting, for his work has taken him through most of the Fastern United States and Canada. A gunsmith by trade, he has a mechanical aptitude that can be applied to almost anything and he has the patience of a real artisan when it comes to working in metal, wood opr ivory. Carefully Idomtified His seed collection, soon to be thrown to the four winds, is contained in 600 little boxes, bottles and tins, all conâ€" tainingâ€"inside, so there is no danger of getting them mixedâ€"identifying slips of paper that tell him not only what the seed is but where it was obâ€" taincd. A healthy interest in botany over a large number of years has brought to the collection (to name a few of the varieties): wild flowers, balm, lillies, walnuts, chestnuts, horse chestnuts, hickory nuts, acorns, beech nuts, sassafras, grapes, locusts, Osage oranges, wild plums from Lake Huron, wild cherries, blackthorhns, hawthorns, i tm wild crab apples, wild apples, lily maples, blue and black beeches, southâ€" ern hazels, sumac, elderberries, bramâ€" bleberries, sarsparilla, May apples, vine praches, Vermont loganberries, black climbing raspberries. The North is supposed by many to have too rigorous a climate for plants i and trees of this kind. Doubtless many of the seeds will die. But if even a fow varieties live and are hralthy, it will mean a great deal to horticulture in the North. There are many kinds of trees ‘that will grow here, but it is ] claimed they are too slow in x’caching' a decent size.

Mr. McQuesten started on his projected tour of Northern roads In referring to Hon. Mr. McQuesâ€" ten‘s visit to the North, one despatch from Toronto last week said that highâ€" way engineers under Mr. McQuesten were busy preparing, with the aid of Ottawa engineers, a complete "picture" of unfinished roads in the North. Once this is available, and the federal auâ€" thorities decided upon the amount of financial coâ€"operation they can give Ontario this_ summer, Queen‘s Park will announce its road building programme for both the new and old sections of the province. e +« It is understood that the tour this 1 O# a en en t im mm | settlement of the‘ North will be useless week of Hon. Mr. McQuesten is to faâ€" miliarize himself with the roads and road prodlems of the North. He will inspect highway construction, now in various stages of completion, including those in which the province and Doâ€" minion are sharing the costs. It is unâ€" derstood that Hon. Mr. McQuesten will be accompanied by R. M. Smith, depuâ€" ty minister of highways, and by enâ€" gineers representing the Dominion Government. This would suggest perâ€" haps that the chief attention on this trip is to be paid to highways and main roads. It would be too bad if settlers‘ roads were neglected. All attempts at as long as roads are not provided for the settlers. It might be worth Hon. Mr. McQuesten‘s time and trouble to make more trips to this North, with all the time and thought and study devoted | to roads for settlers. The settlers have |no organization and no way of making [their needs known in emphatic way. Other interests have influence and opâ€" portunity to explain their cases to the powers that be. The Advance and other newspapers of the district and the various boards of trade have in the past atempted to impress on the gov â€" ernment the vital need for special atâ€" tention to roads for settlers, but the reâ€" sult has not been as wide as it should be. It would be well, indeed, if the Deâ€" partment of Highways would approach this part of Northern roads from a separate and special angle. It might be a good idea to take the matter of setâ€" tlers‘ roads into special consideration with the Department of Agriculture, and particularly with the representa â€" tives of the Department of Agriculiture. W. G. Nixon, M.L.A. for Temiskaming, as a past representative of the Departâ€" ment of Agriculture, should be able to give particularly valuable assistance and advice in this line. | | | ? } i _ o fustc . yeeens? se s iess _ Word from Toronto this week was to the effect that Hon. T. B. MceQquesten, Minister of Highways, will come North this week to tour the roads of this country. With the recent abolition of the Northern Dsvelopment Department, affairs in the North have been transâ€" ferred to the various other departâ€" ments handling such work. Agricultural matters in the North will be dealt with by the Department of Agriculture; and the roads of the North come under the Department of Highways. Crown lands, timber and allied lines remain under the Department of Lands and Forests, which remain as before. Hon. T. B. McQuesten Exâ€" pected to Inspect Roads Recently Added to His Department.
