AND A QUESTION. On his accession to the Premier- ship in 1899, Mr. Ross found that some years before twenty-four town- ships along the north end of Lake: Temiskaming had been surveyed and seven of them opened for sale to St'L' tlers. He also found that although the land Was well suited for farming, only a few settlers had bought land, owing chiefly to the fact that for several months in the year they were shut off from the rest of the country for want of railway communication. Premier lloss saw at once that what was most needed to settle this country was a railway, and decided that the railway must be built. ' I A charter to build a. railway to- this district hadhecn given years before, but the holders of, the charâ€" ter seemed in no hurry to build If no private company was pre- pared to build it, then the I’I‘OVinca would do so, and with characteristic courage and promptness Premier Ross asked the Legislature for 'aum thority to build the road as a (low crnment enterprise, which was giwu. The road is built and in operation.
