When the Port Arthur News- Chronicle takes occasion to compliment Mr. Heenan it must be gratifying to his constituents. That paper has continu- ally endeavoured to undermine him per- sonally and everything that he had un- dertaken to do or say since he was el- ected. Therefore, it is with no small degree of satisfaction that recently they have made admissions in regard to him such as this editorial does, and this is no small accomplishment in the space of three year of persistent work to have an apparent enemy converted in- to an apparent friend, which must be gratifying to the citizens of Kenora ge- nerally. We copy in another column the art- icle referred to. While this article to an extent is commendable, it is strange that partizan bias will persist in misre- presentation, even in an article inteded to be complimetary. It misrepresents Mr. Heenan as being at first opposed 10 the Backus deal for water power and timber limits, but changed and was the ¥ means of getting the deal through. An * limproper inference may not or may be intended, but this statement is untrue. It certainly would be unlike Mr. Heenan to be opposed to anything calculated to benefit Kenora. s The truth is that, like all good citi- zens he desired action. When he was elected as our member in the legisla- ture there was nothing doing either as regards utilizing our water powers, or the building of a pulp and paper mill as . required by the terms of the Lake of the Woods timber concession. Mr. Heenan decided to "start some- ting." He .demanded that some one should get busy. He asked Premier Drury to notify Mr. Backus to comply with the terms of the Lake of the Woods concession. This was done. Mr. Backus replied that the International ORDER NOW AND MAKE CERTAIN YOU GET A CAR AT THESE PRICES Runabout $405 Touring $445 Coupe $695 Sedan $785 Chassis $345 TiuckChassis$495 F.0.B.FORD,ONT,GOV T.

However, the situation was com- promised. It was pointed out that if the owners of the Norman dam were also. ithe owners of the water power on the East channel of the river something could be done. There was a condition in the title to the Norman dam and sur- : roundings granted by the provincial government which prevented the wid- ening of the East channel or tapping the' water of the Lake of the Woods in any other way. The solution of the deadlock caused by the taking over by the Joint Commission of the Norman dam for wa- ter control purposes, was for the town of Kenora to sell the water power to the Backus interests, and they, and: they only while they were the owners of the Norman dam, could widen the: " DINGW 2 Dryden FORD MOTOR COMPANY OF CANADA, LIMITED, FORD, HE average Canadian Family : consists of five persons.

It is also well known that 'McBride, of Brantford, for purely selfish motives made several attempts to stampede the Labor members of the house from support of the government, and that the steadying effect of Mr. Heenan's personality invariably foiled such attempts.

No, Mr. Heenan is above that kind of thing, and the premier recog- nized that he was only serving his con- stituents by his efforts to negotiate the Backus deals for water power and pulp- wood. It was purely Mr. Heenan's strong personality that brought those deals to a successful conclusion. As to the merits of those deals we will have something to say in a future issue of this paper.
