In this the much herald- North Bay Paper Praises the Town of Haileybury Gives Interesting Article Town's Attractions and Early History on The North Bay Nugget has the Stoughton was appaonted acting Reeve during his absence. The Council regretted very much the death of Mr. C. Buch- anan, assessor, and appointed Mr. Bayley to take his place as town- ship assessor. A list of questions presented by a committee of the unemployed was read by the Reeve. As this petition was not signed, the Council were unable to act, but following interesting sketch of Haileybury in one of its issues this week: | "Haileybury, ideally located in| the centre of Northern Ontario and surrounded by delightful en- virons, is an attractive stopping place for the tourist who wishes to visit the various centres of in- terest in that section of the pro- vince or for the person who ed gathering of nations is prom- ising. When representatives of| such a far-flung Commonwealth| get together with determination| to arrive at some solution to their} differences, there must be good results to come and we may con-]} fidently look forward to better} times in the business world. Ev-| ery angle that has been discussed| in the daily press, every story| that has come out of Ottawa} since the opening day has been} encouraging. Canada herself is playing an important part in this most im-| portant of gatherings. Her out-| standing at its inaugur- ation, made by Premier Bennett} when he opened the Conference, | was 1 definite gesture to the oth- er units of the Empire along the lines that should best meet the desperate situation in the world. | The since then has been | almost entirely to the good. Each nation in the Commonwealth ap- pears to be ready to come to de- finite agreements, each appears to be well take, and with this spirit in evid-| move response ready to give as as the outcome should be as- e1 sured. From Canada's standpoint the proposals so far outlined will go a long way towards bettering present conditions. There seems to be a definite prospect of bet- ter markets for wheat and timb- er through agreements with Great Britain, and there will be| many other phases of trade with- in the Empire that will be bene- fitted and in which Canada will share. The concessions offered in | return for the preferences asked} by this Dominion will also tend! towards improving trade and stimulating business. One of the surest signs that all is going well with the Confer- ence up to the present is the fact that there is little or no criticism} being offered by political parties opposed to the present govern-| ment, on the proposals so \far| submitted. If there was anything | that was in any sense detrimental to Canada, there would not be lacking an attempt to block such measures as might be proposed. Oppositions in this country are fearless and always ready to put up a fight against anything they} believe to be contrary to the best | interests of the country On the whole, it would appear that the British Empire and its component parts are to _ profit considerably from the economic conference. The of the world are turned towards Ottawa and the memorable gathering will not break up without gain- ing at least a large proportion of its objects. eyes Congratulations The whole North Country ex- tends congratulations to Mary Vandervliet and.to the town of New Liskeard on the -- splendid showing she made in the Olympic Games at Los Angeles this week. Her progress since she~ entered the trials at Hamilton and _ her signal success right up to the qualifying round for the semi- finals in the 100 metres event were watched by sportsmen and sportswomen throughout her home district and it was with considerable disappointment that Northerners learned via the radio on Tuesday night that she had gone down to defeat. Both Miss Vandervliet and the good sports of New Liskeard who helped to make it posible for her to go to the Olympics have nothing to regret over her de- feat and the North is sincere in its praise of the splendid effort she put forth. She will receive a royal welcome when she returns. The blueberries are plentiful this year any day one can see many people bringing in baskets pails, etc., of this fine fruit.

It is connected with points in Southern Ontario by the railway and Ferguson highway, both of which pass through picturesque scenery, in- cluding the Temagami Forest Reserve, and gives access to the different mining camps and other interesting places of the north. Recreation Facilities Sheltered bays and towering bluffs provide ideal picnic grounds and in the Winter there are many opportunities for snow- shoe and ski hikes and toboggan- ing on the hills all around. Horti- culture has always been a hobby of the residents of Haileybury and flowers of great magnifi- cence and intense color are grown in profusion. Golfers will apprec- iate the Haileybury golf course, situated on the outskirts of the town and_ overlooking Lake Temiskaming and which is one of the prettiest in Ontario. Natural bunkers and hazards are features of the course, only one or two traps being artificial. Haileybury owes its existence to C. C. Farr, a Hudson Bay fac- tor on Lake Temiskaming, who in 1883 acquired the present site of the town because his company needed a stack of hay and_ the owner would not sell the hay without the land. Mr. Farr built the first house in 1889 and a post office was established in the fol- lowing October. He then induced several young Englishmen to come to "Haileybury" and form a settlement. Several of these men are still living. Helped its Development With the discovery of silver at Cobalt, five miles to the south, in 1903, Haileyburv grew by leaps and bounds and became the re- sidential town of the camp. It was incorporated as a town in 1905, and later became the County Seat of the District of Temiskaming. rous bush fire swept Haileybury On October 4. 1922, a disast- and within a few hours the entire business section and 80 per cent of its houses was destroyed. Un- daunted by their misfortune, however, the citizens immediate- ly commenced the task of re- building and re-constructing, with the result that a modern town with paved streets and walks, solid brick buildings and beautiful homes sprung up in the heart of the north. Today, despite lessened activity in Cobalt camp, Haileybury continues to progress and remains the centre of pros- pecting activities in Northern Ontario."

To the Editor: Many times this year the news- papers have carried vivid ac- counts of the forest fires which have raged in various parts of Canada. These items, full of drama of man's struggle against a great force, have made most interestiny reading. But too of- ten, perhaps, we are seized with the glamour of the battle and forget its cost. You will rememb- er that during the war we were all so interested in the ebb and flow of the action that we never paused to think of the cost and never dreamed that the present years of poverty and stagnation would be a result. Forest fires can breed the same trouble for Canadian provinces that the war has bred for the world. For one thing, revenue from the forests brings millions of dol- lars annually into the Provincial thusiasts. treasury. If this revenue is re- TOURIST FA JASPER NATIONAL PARK °-- u.. THE «..
