WHY NOT AN ‘‘ARBOUR DAY‘" FOR THE TOWN OF TIMMINS? Office 26. The suggestion has ibeen made that Timmins would do well to have a reguâ€" lar doservance of **+Arbour Day."" with the planting of trees and flowers. and the general rousing of interest among the people in the matter of beautifying the Town. The sugges tion would appear to hbe a good one and well worthy of con«deration, and action. Despite the many fine busiâ€" ness blocks, the attracticve public and semiâ€"public buildings, such as the schools, churches, hospital, railway depot building and others., and deâ€" spite the increasing number of pleasâ€" ing homes in Timmins, it must be adâ€" mitted that the town still has a cerâ€" tain ‘bareness that trees would take away. It may seem odd that in a country of trees like this North Land any town should suffer for lack of trees, but the fact is that in only one or two towns in this part of the: North are there enough trees to reâ€" deem ‘the places from bare ugliness. Haileybury before the fire and Iroâ€" quois Falls at present are two towns that give evidence of how a few trees confer a lot of beauty upon a comâ€" munity. ‘Comfort, as well as beauty, are ministered to by the planting of trees. This town has a number of floral beauty spots. WTrees will make the homes more homelike and the town a real town of homes. Plant trees! Page ‘‘Mr. Arbour WEDNESDAY, APRIL 9TH, 1924. Dav DOMINION GOVERNMENT SHKOULD ACT PROMPTLY The Dominion Government should. make very prompt response to the request of the Provincial Government of : Ontario that the Judge of the Mining Court of Ontario be clothed with the judicial authority requlslte‘ for the office. Whe Ontario Legislaâ€" ture has duly passed the Bill for the creation of a Mining Court. order that this Court may operate legally it is necessary for the Dominion Govâ€" ernment to confer the status ofâ€" a Judge upon the Mining Commissioner. The need for a mining court has been apparent for years past and the value of such a court has been proven beâ€" yond question, From . mining men, Hnanciers, prospectors, the press and the people generally, the demand for this court has been insistent and pracâ€" tically unanimous. It bas taken the Ontario Legislature several years to reach the stage of actually passing the required legislation. It is to be hoped that the Dominion Governâ€" ment will now do its part so promptâ€" ly as to avord any further unnecesâ€" sary delay in the matter. The Memâ€" ber for Temiskaming should bhe forâ€" ward and earnest in seeing that the desired steps are taken at the earliest possible moment.

DEATH OF GIB MCINNIS, WELLâ€"KNOWN OLDâ€"TIMEXK There passed away at an early hour’ on Mun c‘av morning at the Cairns, Hospital, Timmins, a wellâ€"known old- timer of the North Land in the perâ€" son of Mr. (Hilbert Moelnnis. W 1de]\ known‘ by the familiar names of ‘‘Gib‘‘ and ‘*Bo,"‘ the late Mr. Mcâ€" Innis had been a resident of the Porâ€" eupine since 19106. He carmed on a / teaming. business here and was welâ€" , knowi@ for his size, his strength, the amount. of work he could get thxmwh; and his continual wit and humour. | Some of his sayings achieved wide | currency. He was a native of the: eastern part of Victoria County, but | had travelled far and wide since h)\: youth.

The late Mr. MeInnis was around as usual last week, byt toward the weekâ€"end he complained about havâ€" In the last issue of The Pas ((Manitoba) Herald appears this paraâ€" graph :â€"â€" ‘‘The greatest need of the world today is to know the truth,"" says a city news paper. And there are many readers who want to know why the newspapers do not publish more of it. The answer is that Law preâ€" vents them. Suppose the editor knew a citizen of this town to be a swindlerâ€"having been actually swindled by himâ€"we dare not pubâ€" lish the fact as a warning to the pubâ€" lic."‘"‘ To this it may be added that kind hearts and â€" sweet â€" dispositions also hold back editors from telling all the truth all the time. It might increase the business of the railroads to tell all the truth all the time, but everyâ€" thing el‘se would be likely to go on the blink. Also, the montality among would be alarming. The truth has to be very carefully handâ€" led or great misery is caused. As little Jeff says, ‘‘You have to use judgment.‘‘. ANOTHER GGOD PROGRAMMTE BY SCHROEDER ORCHESTRAS The concert given Sunday evening in the New Empire Theatre after the church services drew a_ crowded house and proved up _to the high standard set ‘by previm'xs events unâ€" der the same auspices. The event was given by Prof. H. F. Schroeder, his pupis and orchestras, and the proceeds are to be given to a Fund held in trust by the Mayor for the neeédy children of the Camp. (Mr. L. S. Newton very eapably preâ€" sided Sunday evening and in openâ€" ing the programme made vary apt reference to the benefit and value of music to the town and the people, ecoupling with this idea the thought of ‘the worthiness of the object to which the proceeds of the event would be deyoted.

During the year 1923, 3,380 tourist automobiles entered the province of Nova Scotia, the Land of Evangeline, according to the annual report of the Nova Scotia Tourist Commission. Altogether 83,000 tourists visited the province and distributed a sum estimated at $6,.000,000, A picked detachment of an offiâ€" cer and ten men of the Royal Canaâ€" dain Mounted Police recently crossâ€" ed the Atlantic on the Canadian Paâ€" cific liner Melita. Their duty will be to guard the Canadian exhibits at the British Empire Exhibition. The Exhibition and buildings cost about $200,000,000. A chain of factories stretching across Canada will be established by the Dominion Tar and Paper Company, sponsored by English inâ€" terests. This was announced by the Earl of Dunmore, V.C., and Sir Harold Botton after a recent visit to Canada. Sites have already been secured in Montreal, Winnipeg, Van: couver and Toronto. Canada‘s trade balance is being steadily maintained, for, according to the February returns, just issued. the imports for that month, which totalled $62,138,882, showed a deâ€" crease of $3,173,814, from the same month last year, while the reports for February this year, totalling $867,274,5483, showed an increase o1 $9,618,382. Hon. George H. Henry, Ontaric minister of public works and highâ€" ways, has announced a change in the method of financing the planting of trees along public highways. Inâ€" stead of sending out its own workâ€" men, he says, the Government has a scheme whereby farmers planting trees in front of their own property will be bonused so much per tree for planting. Over $1,000 has been paid by the Province of New Brunswick in wild cat bounties since the commenceâ€" ment of the present fiscal year. Alâ€" ready approximately 400 claims for the $3 bounty offered for each aniâ€" mal have been handled by the chief game warden‘s branch of the Departâ€" ment of Lands and Forests, as comâ€" pared with the 31 claims made in 18283, following the bounty offer passed by the legislature in that year. The splendid success attained by in Alberta is evidenced by the last financial statement of the Taber Irrigation District. «The report reveals a total surplus colâ€" lectable or on hand of $30,000, of which $7,000 is on deposit in the bank. Operations have been so satisâ€" factory that negotistions have besn entered into with the Canadian Paâ€" cific Raiilway to set up a sinking fund of $3.C00 to $5,000 to redeem bonds of the district held by the railway. In this way it is hoped that the district will be cleared of debt in a few years. Canadian Pacific Railway anâ€" nounces that it will resume its winâ€" ter cruises in 1925, one round the world and the other to the Mediterâ€" ranean.
