It was not for the Towna or the Mayor, and if the Mayor feels that the two men should not have it for adequate moral reasons, he should have it returned at once to the O ‘Brien Mine, with interest added for the days it has Ibeen improperly retained by the Town. Which, of course, is ridiculous,â€"as ridiculous as the proceedings already taken. Symâ€" pathy generally should be with the volunteer firemen. They spend their strength and time, avith practically no reward, except the knowledge that they are giving a public service. Their loyalty to the paid men on the force, to tell the truth, is worth many times seventeen dollars to the Town of Coâ€" balt. The Town of Cobalt should be ashamed to make a fuss over such a matter. If the volunteer firemen are agreed, and the O ‘Brien mine is pleasâ€" ed, it looks like ungrateful impertinâ€" ence on the part of town officials to interfere in such a case. mine, and eventually sent a cheque for payment of each of the members of the brigade present at the fire. W hen the cheque reached Cobalt the Mayor ordered $17.00 to ‘be deducted for the paid men on the brigade. The ‘Mayâ€" or‘s claim is that as the town pays the paid men for their timeâ€"no one else should be allowed to give them anything. When the firemen heard of this proceeding they were exceedingly wrathy and formally notified the Council that if the Town persisted in withholding these seventeen bucks from their comrades on the brigade; then the whole volunteer foree would resign on November 22nd. The May or‘s reply to this is that the fire briâ€" gade can not be allowed to dictate to the Council. He thinks the plan of allowing paid men to accept pay also from outside sources is all wrong. Maybe, ‘but if so, it could be changeu in a proper way and with due notice so that all would know where they BABY MUNICIPAL POLITICS EXHIBITED AT COBALT.

This old squaw, with only a fish or two for food, campâ€" ed on the edge of the Bay. Taking a thong out of her girdle for a ling, and a bone out of a fish head as a fishhook she calmly cut a piece of flesh from her leg, with her axe, to serve as bait, and fished through the ice until she had sufficient food to keep her for a considerable length of time. She then cut willows along the edge of the Bay and made herself a pair of snowshoes. With these snowshoes and her sack of fish for food, she tramped the eighty miles into Moose Factory to the misâ€" sion post. This story Archdeacon Woodall could vouch for in every parâ€" ticular. (From the Broke Hustler.) The Sciencee Club spent a very pleasâ€" ant and worthâ€"while evening on Thurs day when they were addressed by Archdeacon Woodall, of Porquis June tion, on the possibilities of the northâ€" ern part of the Province from Cochâ€" rane to James Bay, with special referâ€" ence to the country surroundmo the Bay.

People did not seem to understand that the farther north you went ine soil was richer. Agriculitural Possibilities At Moose Factory he had grown all vegetables that could be grown in Southern Ontario, including tomatoes, and all were of magnificent quality and large size. The soil was simply wonderful especially in the valleys around New Post, where anything could be grown. The vegetation was beyond description. Oats which he had planted in June were over his head by September. Barley also did well. The natural grasses grew to a theight of six feet and the cattle at the Hudâ€" son‘s Bay posts thrived splendidly on these natural grasses. If the natura: grasses gave such nutriment to the stock, waht could the country be when the soil was lcultivated.

The success of the Hudson‘s Bay Company in dealing with the Indians he put down to the fact that the clerks or servants, as they are called, being articled to the Company, came out at sixteen or seventeen years of In addition to the wreck last week in which a fireman was killed and others of the employees injured near Temagami, the T. N. O. Railway had some recent regular T. N. 0. wrecks in which the regular policy was observed of not hurting anybody. Some days ago seven cars of a cattle train jumped the track near Porquis Junction. ‘The track was badly torn up but no injury resulted except a deâ€" lay of traffic. . Last Thursday five cars of the southbound Continental jumped the track at Boston Creek. ~No one was injured but traffie was delayed for about eight hours. These are reâ€" gular T. N.~0O. wrecks.
