HORE TALK OF EXTENDING T. & N. 0. TO MOOSE FACTORY? h4 hthhchcrihâ€"n thhlthhth 4n hoh â€"neyâ€"neenate fefetetatete n asnet=riistanch Maay people in the North Land are e«nfident that nothing but fool moves may be expected from the present Farmers‘ (Government in regard to anything connected with this part of #e Province. These people feel that the Farmers‘ Government has such & jetermined and ingrained lack of unâ€" derstanding of what is really required Ax the North Land that a square, senâ€" iDMle deal is impossible. It must be «dmitted that there is much to supâ€" wort such opinions of the Governâ€" ment‘s lack of good sense and fairâ€" aess in dealing with the North Land. But hope keeps men from despair. At the presént time the North Land is heing mentioned in connection with tie unemployment problem in Old Onâ€" tavio. Someone without too much nowledge either of the North_Land * the unemployment problem has ausegested the start of work on the T. & N. 0. Extension to Moose Facâ€" tary. From the North Lan‘s general viewpoint this is a work that should wait until other much more important works ‘are attended to.â€" From the Members of New Dominion Cabinet standpoint of the unemployment proâ€" blem the work is also not timely or desirable. The only work that could be done in regard to the"proposed rail way extension this winter when emâ€" ployment of some kind will be so neâ€" cessary would only permit of the use of a comparatively very small number of men. The most pressing work from the North‘s general situation is the building of a highway to connect the different parts of the North with each oter and with the road system of the south. This would give the greatest impetus possible to the development of the North Land. The work could be so conducted this winter as to perâ€" mit of the economical use of a large number of men, with work forslarge numbers of unskilled laborers, in the preliminaries of cutting and clearing the right of way, ete. In handling the unemployment matâ€" ter the Government has the two alâ€" ternatives,â€"to start work on the high way or to start that railroad extenâ€" sion scheme. Apparently some people believe the Farmers‘ Government will ‘‘do the wrong thing.‘‘ At any rate the following despatch appearing in the Toronto Mail & Empire and other daily newspapers, is published for what it may, be worth. Under the date line of North Bay this despatch ‘*‘An early start is to be made at the work of cutting the right of way for the projected extension of the T. & N. 0. from Cochrane to Moose Facâ€" tory, according to reports in cireuâ€" lation here toâ€"day. Premier Drury is to be sn Noth Bay on Tuesday next, when he will meet with the commisâ€" sioners operating the road, and it was stated by one councillor at a meeting of the town coundl last night that his object was to discuss this question with a view toward coping with the unemployment situation in the proâ€" vinre. SQ V In some weéllâ€"infoemed circles, the rumors are being received with conâ€" siderable reserve. ‘The Premier has never announced his intention of conâ€" tinuing the Governmentâ€"owned railâ€" way northward fromits present terâ€" minus, and it is believed that he perâ€" sonally does not favor its extension at present. Also, in Temiskaming, there is an almost unanimous opinion that the most pressing public work in this section of the province is the immediâ€" THE PURCUPINE ADVANCE milicuity ol financing was a seroimms problem. It takes a lot of momney to develop a property. To overcome the financial handicap a subsidiary comâ€" pany known as the South Keora was formed with a capitalization of three million dollars, or a million more than the Keora. Of this only 60,000 shares were issued to the public. Now it appears that a United States syndicâ€" ate has undertaken to supply some $200,000,00 for the purpose of placâ€" ing the Keora ocm a producing basis, provided ‘the shares are protected from bear raids i nthe meantime. As a consequence the 60,000 shares of stock in South Geora have been poolâ€" ed until December 31st. Only a small part of this stock was floating and effort has been made to gather this all in. [The pool may ngw be said to be able to operate fully to protect the financial plans. The effect will be notâ€" ed from the big rise last week in South Keora for the $200,000.00 cash, the remaining $2,000,000.00 stock to be the property of the Keora Comâ€" pany. It is believed that the $200,000 will be ample to prove the merits of the Keora property and place it in position where it will be a producer and able to earry on. The Keora has done considerable underground development work this year, especially at the 250â€"foot level where two important ore bodies have been opened up. CONSERVATIVE CONVENTION AT ENGLEHART, OCTOBER 6. The Ontario Government has shown that there are two things it will guard at all costs and come what may. These two things are Booze and the Lord‘s Day. Some weeks ago the Atrocityâ€" General of the Province, Hon. Mr. Raneq, issued special instructions for all Provincial Officers in the North Land to make a particular point: to see that the Lord‘s Day was guarded as it would be by the Puritans who married into Mennonite families in the early days of white settlement on this continent. Last week there was the spectacle of the Government‘s reâ€" verencefor booze when all the Provinâ€" cial officers in the North Land, with the exceeption of Officer Moore of South Porecupine, were detailed to guard the $11,000.00 worth of booze taken in a recent raid at North Bay. It is all right for conviected murderers to escape fom jail; it‘s all in the day‘s business for qmen aceused of little crimes like rape and other things not against the O.T:A. to walk out of prison and remain uncaptured. But with precious booze, the whole police strength of the country mast be brought to guarding that joyous stuff. â€" You tell them, Hon. Raney; there are two things in life to guard, Booze and the Lord‘s Day Act. Have you noticed, gentle reader, that it is several weeks since The Advance ‘has said, ‘‘It‘s afunny world, this North Land."‘ ‘Other parts o fthe country seem so much funnier in a funnier ate construction of & trunk road north from here to Cobalt. _A resolution asking for an immediate construeâ€" tion of a trunk road north from here to Cobalt. A resolution asking for an immediate start on this highway was passed at a meeting of the associated Boards of Trade less than two weeks ago ‘‘Recently when L. W.; Wilson, the North Bay representative to a meetâ€" ing of the Ontario ITLIP. executive, was in Toronto, he presented a series of resolutions prepared here for the consideration of that body in dealing with unemployment. In these the exâ€" tension of the T. & N. O. to James Bay and also to Parry Sound was urged. Councillor MeManus, speaking to the Town Council, said he underâ€" stood the Premier was to confer on the possibility ofâ€"extending the road northward for sixty miles, a task that would give employment to between 2,000 and 3,000 men.""
