Reports appearing in southern newsâ€" papers regarding Kapuskasing seem to be in keeping with most of the southern references to the North Land. Of the North Land it was that the parodying poet sung:â€"â€" None know thee and thus so they But name thee just to lie. The Southern stories are to the effect that the contractors at Kapusâ€" kasing suddenly decided to quit work and immediately discharged a thouâ€" sand men, all of whom just as imâ€" mediately left Kapuskasing. Apparâ€" ently they didn‘t wait for the next train, and the news of the exodus must have reached the south by wireâ€" le«s. Isn‘t it wonderful, Mabel. One newspaper confessed to getting story from one workingman who at Kapuskasing. This leaves m ial surely for 999 other daily 1 paper yarns. The Advance, from advices re The Advance, from advices receiyâ€" ed from Kapuskasing, admits the foundation for these strange rumors and confesses that no one, except an expert, can tell from the foundation what an air castle may look like when the daily newspapers ~get through with it.

To those tie works undertaken in usually starts and goes through, and so it is at Kapuskasing. A few men were temporarn., out of work, but few indeed left the place. Work is in progress not far from usual at the time of writing and instead of being a deserted village, with 1000 men fleeing its borders in as many seconds, it is a thriving town with mwork going ahead on the double quick. It may by a stretch of figures be true that 1000 men were discharged at Kapuskasing in the last few weeks, but only to be reâ€"engaged for work to ‘be pushed ahead. Also, it may be true that a number of men were ‘‘let out"‘ only to be taken on again at slightly reâ€" duced rates of pay, but that is a proâ€" cedure that is so commen in the south these days as to pass without comment. Nothing about the North Land, however, that sounds disagreeâ€" able is allowed to pass without notice by these dyspeptic southern journâ€" alists. However, Kapuskasing is still on the map, work is still in progress there and no one will look upon the items in the southern papers with more surprise than the people of Kapuskasing who will surely say, ‘*Well, ain‘t course, they : words tool ‘‘Wihat Happened to Rosa?"‘â€"at the New Empire Theatre, Friday and Saturday, April 1 and 2. Pete himâ€" self says he doesn‘t know what hapâ€" pened to Rosa, but that everybody may know if they go to the show Friâ€" day and Saturday of this week. Rosa is the popular Mabel Normand, and the plot of the play is from the story by Pearl Lenore Curran. The author conceived the idea of a lonely shop girl who longing for excitement and romance, passed herself off as a dashâ€" ing beauty from Spain. ‘The story abounds wtih surprises and is blessed wtih a particularly finedove theme. Miss Normand plays two parts in the play. She is Mayme Ladd, an inâ€" significant shop girl in the hosiery deâ€" partment of a large store. She is alâ€" so Rosa Alvaro, a dashing, beautiful Spanish maiden, fiery, eoquettish, with cherry lips and inviting eyes. The interesting part of the affair is that Rosa and Mayme are the one and the same girl.. There is no dual perâ€" sonality hocusâ€"pocus about this picâ€" ture. ‘The transformation of the lonely shopâ€"girl into the fascinating Spanish belle is pure comedy,â€"and no Other star in the world of motion pictures could do it quite like (Mabel Normand. It is a play that will keep the audience in a constant turmoil of launchter. ~â€"On the slides at the show and on the billboards there is the question, ‘‘Wihat Happened to Rosa?""‘â€"at the "*WHAT HAPPENED TO ROSA‘" ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY Division Court will be held here on Thursday of this week (toâ€"morrow) March 31st.

A. Crerar‘s new farmers‘ paâ€" per recently. Mr. Cole said that unâ€" doubtedly the two basic industries were mining and agriculture and then he went on to prove that in several ways (for instance in the matter of the development of a country and the n me, â€" SAld ‘MT, COIP2, _ VHdL OHC OL LIC ereatest of our national ‘problems is how to meet and overcome a large anâ€" nual deficit from the operation of the Canadian National Railways. If we can only increase our freight receipts sufficiently wevean wipe out the deficit Now let us see what industries supply our present freight.""‘ Mr. Cole then proceeded to show that over a period of seven years before the war 35 per cent. of the tonnage earried by Canâ€" adian Railways was products of the cent. of the tonnage carried by Canâ€" adian Railways was products of the mines, while products of agriculture, only made 20 per cent. of the whole. In the UJS.A., he said, he products of agriculture were only 13 per cent., and the products of the mines 52 perâ€" cent. of the whole freight tonnage. Continuing Mr. Colé said:â€"‘‘The T. & N. 0. Railway (the Ontario Goâ€" vernment Railway) was projected as a colonization road to open up for agriculture the great clay belt in Onâ€" tario north of Lake Temiskaming. In this case witere does the freight reâ€" venue come from? For five years beâ€" fore the war agriculture supplied 11 per cent. of the revenue, while the mining industry gave 44 per cent. or four times as much. Bearing in mind these quotations, you will agree with me that from the railway standpoint the mining industry is worthy of very careful consideration. A mining community forms the very best markâ€" et that a farmer can have. The miner consumes large quantities of farm produce. He wants the best and the pays cash,. Now let us get back ito the wiping out of that railway deficit. My suggestion and contention is that one of the best ways is to â€"encourage the Mining Industry, for there is noâ€" thing that will attract a population quicker than the discovery of a new and promising mining area. Then, with suitable agricultural lands in the vicinity, the farming population folâ€" lows naturally :I have an unwavering faith also that such discoveries will be made and that in that great preâ€" Cambrian area of Northern Ontario, Quebec, Manitoba and the Northwest to the Arctic, other Cobalts, other Porâ€" eupines and other Sudburys only to await the prospector to uncover them. To those of you who are already in parliament, and those who ‘hope some day to be, and also to those who conâ€" trol from one vote up, I say:â€"Be open and generous in your dealings with the Mining industry. Give every encouragement to the prospector, and indirectly you will give a great inâ€" centive to land settlement and at the same time be assisting in the solution of one of our great national proâ€" yents 1J WAv Mi on id reâ€"opening. . \\ s is being gotten ind a goodly sized vrork on this and ot fort.

Q.H.A. the afternoon of the final game between Timmins and the Soo. The committee felt that they could not act that dayv, but the seriousness not act that day, but the seriousness of the charges made a thorough inâ€" vestigation absolutely necessary. For that reason Worters and McGrath apâ€" neared in their usual role at the Soo peare came invyC There is no question that the N.O. H.A. Executive and Angus Campbell, its president, certainly did the right thing in making these suspensions, and every member of the exeeutive deserves credit for what they have done in the interests of alean thockey. The Toronto Star makes the remark, "Anyway Angus Campbell‘s Nonthâ€" ern Hockey League exeeutive has knees that do not wobble. When they discovered crookedness they stiffened up and banded the crooks a jolt that will be long remembered."‘ But there is a silver lining even to this black cloud. When the informâ€" ation was laid before the executive ation was laid before the executive of the N.O.H.â€"A. it was pointed out by the Iroquois Falls Citizens‘ Comâ€" mittee that no charge was laid aâ€" gainst the executive of the Timmins Club, nor against the people of Timâ€" minsâ€"merely that a certain few who lived in Timmins ‘had put over ‘a nasty job. When the Timmins comâ€" mittee was appointed they investigatâ€" ed fully the aharges that thad been made and in their.report to the leaâ€" gue, while they regretted to admit it, their inquiry showed that the charges were corroberated in every particular, except the minor one as to what inâ€" dividual started the negotiations to except Lie mingrt one as i0 .WHdL LHâ€" dividual started the negotiations to throw the game. The fact that committees from the two towns could investigate separateâ€" ly, each throwing a certain amount of the blame on the other town, and meet jointly in perfect amity, is one of the most hopeful signs of hockey in tilfe North Country. It practically amounted to_ this,â€"that â€" Iroquois Falls men cleaned up the dirt in that town, and Timmins men did the same in Timmins. There was never a quesâ€" tion on the part of Timmins officials, once the information ‘had been given, of attempting any defence, and all through, the officials and the citizens‘ committee acted in the most sportsâ€" manlike manner.. If the same spirit, of fairness is kept up during the comâ€" ing baseball season and in hockey next winter, it will do a great deal toâ€" wards bringing the very necessary united @gction of ‘the North in comâ€" mercial and provincial matters, as well as in sporting circles. 1ro wIn information in regard to the ig of the game of February as put in the hands of the N. ever e of ‘limmins men, im, Ennis and Williams re situation at the Timâ€" corroberated the stateâ€" FOR SALEâ€"S teams,HMeavy Horses; all young, sound, an‘d good werkerss; 30. to 34 hundred.
