A passerâ€"by shouldered her as he would a bag of flour and carried her back into the doorway from which she had come. Such and similar scenes are not conâ€" sidered of much importance in Rouâ€" vÂ¥n‘s young life. ‘*Most of the street women and their keepers are from houses of ill fame in Montreal. ‘*An underworld, second to none outside of the metropolitan centres, is fast becoming established in this new area. ‘‘From twenty to thirty "‘femmes de joie‘‘ contribute to the gaiety of the place and ply openly a trade in prostitution, much of which is in coâ€" operation with the keepers of bootâ€" leg joints and gambling establishâ€" ments. ‘*There are about eighty log shacks or cabins in the town proper and I may safely say that every one of these is a bootlegging establishment. ‘‘An engineer who has followed for years the mining trails and has taken part in almost every rush. of imporâ€" tance between Mexico and Colorado and the Yukon, returned recently from Rouyn, and even he was shocked. ‘‘For wild and woolly performances Rouyn has any western mining camp that I have ever seen faded a mile,"‘ he said. ‘‘The water supply promises to be a problem for the future at present the inhabitants seem to get along well. There are literally floods of beer, wine ‘‘alkie‘‘ and whiskey. ‘‘It now remains for the new town of Rouyn, riding into prominence in ithe centre of the northwestern Quebec gold fields, to set the pace. It is said that for real action and lurid night life activities Rouyn City is alâ€" ready showing the worst of its predeâ€" cessors new wrinkles in the arts of naughtiness. ‘‘Elk Lake, Gowganda, Golden City and South Poreupine were gay dogs too in the days of their respective youths. ‘‘Indeed one of Cobalt‘s elaims ito fame is its parentage of the widely known Ontario Liberty league. However, here is the despatch as it appears in â€" The ~Nugget. It will be interesting to hear the comments from citizens of Rouyn and from people who have spent some time in the Rouyn Camp:â€"‘"Cobalt established a reputation in its day for maintaining the best traditions of mining camps for freedom of speech and private rights with regard to individual action. On,the other hand some from here are ready to say that Rouyn is free and easy. And that may mean much or Rouyn would have to be a decidedly respectable place to equal the standards of the old4time Poreuâ€" pine. The despatches suggest, howâ€" ever, that to go to Rouyn is to go straight to ruin, and worse. It is a pretty safe bet ito say that the condiâ€" tions, as described in the despatches, are likely to be overdrawn and exâ€" aggerated. However, The North Bay Nugget gives publicity to one of the despatches. Perhaps, at that, publiciâ€" ty even to such a despatch may be a good thing. The chances are that there is some foundation for the story, though the tale itself be exaggerated. Those who go in and out of Rouyn are willing to agree that the new are likely aggerated. Nugget gi despatches ty even to good thing Despatches sent from Cobalt to the daily and semiâ€"weekly newspapers last week give Rouyn a rather hard name as a mining camp. Indeed, these deâ€" spatches picture the new gold camps as worse than the hard old camps of the south and west when those hard camps were tougher than a hardâ€"boilâ€" ed bad egg. A couple of oldâ€"timers of this camp, in commenting on the despatches referred to, admit that Rouyn is not as quiet and cireumâ€" spect a camp as the Poreupine was in the early days. But that may mean nothing. Poreupine Camp was never tough. In the early days there was lots of fun and frolic, but remarkâ€" ably Jlittle ~ wickedness. Indeed, Poreupine Camp in its opening years was unusually lawâ€"abiding and deâ€" cent. Rouyn might be a whole lot worse than Old Poreupine and yet be a very good place.

It is surâ€" mised that this wolf came down from the North on account of the poor hunting and the strong competition this season in the North. Even hunâ€" ger and desperation, however, did not set this wolf eating human beings, though there would be quite a few juicy specimens in the Guelph section. People in the South have recently had apportunity to judge for themâ€" selves as to how much manâ€"eating a wolf will attempt even when he is hungry enough to eat a dead horse in high gear. Last week a party of fox hunters killed a big itimber wolf in Eramosa Township, near Guelph. One of the party sighted the animal and shot it, inflicting a wound that, though serious, was not fatal. The wolf turned and tried to escape, but was shot a couple of times more and eventually died loaded with lead. For the past few weeks this wolf had been in the neighborhood and had carried on _ a regular wholesale slaughter of sheep and fowl, but man attempting to shoot it for its maraudâ€" ing had scearcely been able to catch a glimpse of it.
