Agent :‘ A bill is to be put through the Quebec Legislature to change the name of the Rouyn Mines Railway Company, now building a line from O‘Brien, on the Transcontinental, to the Rouyn camp.

(a) The division by lot or chance of any property by joint tenants or tenants in common, or persons having joint interests (droits in divis.) in any such property. I am cealling this to your attention because of the prevalence of Customâ€" ers‘ Clubs and in view of the Appelâ€" late Division‘s decision. The Appellate Division on the 15th inst. _ unanimously declared this scheme to be an infringement of Seeâ€" tion 236 (lotteries, ete.,) of the Crimâ€" inal Code, holding that it did not come within the provisions of Subâ€"section 6 of the said Section, which reads as follows : 4 Re: Customers‘ Clubs. A. man named Fay Roderick has been organizing Customers‘ Clubs in various parts of Ontario, the scheme being to have a number of merchants form a club, subscribe for memberâ€" ship, use the subscription money to purchase a motor car and other prizes, and have distributed amongst these merchants a number of tickets which the merchants in their turn give to all customers who purchase one dolâ€" lar‘s worth of goods or pay one dolâ€" lar on outstanding accounts. A cireular letter has been issued by Crown Attorney J. M. Greer to the Chiefs of Police and Provincial Conâ€" stables in the Cochrane District callâ€" ing attention to a recent Court deâ€" cision with regard to the forming of Customers‘ Clubs. ‘Dhe letter reads as follows: ‘‘If private parties are to expend this immense sum in northern indusâ€" tries, it manifests a confidence in the resources of the north that is gratifyâ€" ing. Up north, however, it is felt that the government of the province should give prompt and complete proof that it shares this confidence, by undertakâ€" ing in a large way some very necesâ€" sary public expenditures. What priâ€" vate capital starts public capital should push along. _ The Poreupine Advance of Timmins believes the Ferâ€" guson government should make the development of the north its big card. This eighty millions of private capital gives the movement a running start. The Advance urges that the govenâ€" ment should take hold with both hands and shove the good cause along â€"especially in building roads, roads, roads, the imperative need ‘of the north country. That this is the first crying need all are agreed. The north country anxiougly awaits the Ontario government‘s declaration of purposesâ€"its present, this year, purâ€" poseâ€"in this urgent matter.‘‘ ‘‘"CUSTOMERS‘ CLUBS‘‘ ARE NOT ACCORDING TO LAW ‘‘Eighty million dollars is a lot of money. At one time when Mackenzie and Mann borrowed forty millions in connection with their transcontinental railway building this huge loan was popularly supposed to have had much to do with giving the Dominion one year of prosperity. Here is forty millions a year for two successive years to be expended in the north country. 236. 6. This section does not apply ‘*‘The northern part of Ontario is a wonderful country. In one place or another it has everythingâ€"rich farm lands, timber, pulpwood, waterâ€"power, minerals of every sort, and mines rich as any in the world. ‘‘This is the greatest prospectus of the kind ever put forward in the hisâ€" tory of the north country and, naturâ€" ally enough, it has aroused much inâ€" terest. The feeling of every man in th north is that the hour has struck, that patience is about to be rewarded and hope to be crowned with fruition. ‘* A tremendous new development of the resources of northern Ontario has been anndunced by the Hon. Charles McCrea, Minister of Mines. He states that in the neighbourhood of eighty million dollars will be expendâ€" ed by the end of next year by private capitalists who have made arrangeâ€" ments with the government and will construct paper mills, pulp mills, power dams, and carry on other and similar enterprises. _â€"In an editorial article last week The Toronto Star says :â€" There has also been more than passâ€" ing interest in the editorial suggesâ€" tions in The Advance that the Govâ€" ernment back up its own undoubted faith in the North by expenditures on a large scale, especially for the roads so emphatically needed and reâ€" quired. Very general and widespread inâ€" terest has been roused by the anâ€" nouncement that the Ontario Governâ€" ment had arranged affairs so that pulp and paper companies in the North Land were obligated to spend eighty million dollars in the next two years. So Toronto Star Characterizes Plans to Spend Eighty Millions in North,. Need of Roads Also "GntATEol PROSPECTUS K8 RIGTORY OF NORTH‘ Emphasized. From recent disclosures it would appear that Canada has a large fleet nowâ€"of rumâ€"running ships. Howâ€" ever, the Navy League of Canada will not look after the dependents of the sailors of this fleet who may be killâ€" ed in battle. ‘The writer spoke of the present |class as ibeing industrious. I differ | with ‘him on that point too, for in | former years a skidding gang of five men would skid 150 or more logs a day, averaging seven logs to the thousâ€" and of board measure. (That is what the run of logs was where I usâ€" |ed to work). Toâ€"day an eight or nine man gang will skid one hundred logs a day, with an average of eighteen to the thousand feet, board measure. If the present day lumberjacks are inâ€" dustrious what were the men of forty years ago. The writer claims that most of the lumberjacks are men savâ€" ing money to put them through colâ€" lege. Investigation would probably show that not more than one per cent. of them are doing that. He‘also tries to prove that years ago the men gselâ€" dom washed, while toâ€"day they wash three times a day. I wonder if he ever saw men washing for dinner when they dinner out. Toâ€"day if he were to sleep in a lumber camp he would see many of his ‘"‘students‘‘ in bed until the last minute in the mornâ€" ing and then rushing to breakfast without bothering with either soap or water. I have always seen oldâ€"timers wash before every meal when eating in the camp. In the old days there was a friendly rivalry to see what gang would put up the most logs. It is not so with the present day ‘‘artâ€" ists.‘‘ There aim seems to be to get all the money they can and see how little work they can do. The writer of the article which appeared in The Nugget mentioned the difference in the board and bed of toâ€"day with that of years ago. That is true, but the 1 l l l present workers are neither as conâ€"| tented or hard working, even under the improved conditions, as the oldâ€" timers were. Some companies have looked over their books of fifteen years ago and find that at that time one hundred men would put out 100,â€" 000 logs in a season, while toâ€"day the same number of men will put out only half that amount. Doesn‘t that speak for itself?"‘‘ A letter recently written to The North Bay Nugget in regard to the passing of the oldâ€"time lumberjacks has stirred one man to spirited reply. This man, who signs himpself, * Old Lumberjack‘‘ faAdmits that the oldâ€" timer has passed, but ‘he regrets it as a had thing for the county. He says the new style worker in the woods is not half as good a man as the man of ten, twenty or thirty years ago. He even goes the length of asserting that in the lumber camps. years ago there was far less profane and obscene language than there is toâ€"day. As to work, ‘‘Old Lumberjack‘‘ writes: PRESENTâ€"DAY LUMBERJACKS NOT UP TO OLDâ€"TIMERS In case the invitation from Canada is accepted, and the 1927 congress held in this country, the benefit to Canaâ€" da will be very marked. It will cenâ€" tre the attention of mining men throughout the world upon Canada in particular fashion, and it will also work further advantage by gtving Canadian mining men the opportunity to consult at short range with the best brains of the industry from all over the world. With the recent speâ€" cial interest and development in minâ€" ing in Canada, this may mean the extra interest that assures noteworthy success. The first Empire Mining and Metalâ€" lurgical Congress was held in London, England,‘ in 1924. At that congress a very wide range of subjects was dipâ€" cussed and questions considered that affected the development of the minâ€" eral resources of the Empire and their relation to the prosperity and adâ€" vancement of the nation. To the general public the proceedings of the congress, even from the condensâ€" ed reports published in the press, were a revelation in regard to the imporâ€" tant and intimate connection between mining and national welfare. It is no idle saying to assert that the minâ€" ing industry is a most important facâ€" tor in the national weal. It is understood that an invitation has sent on behalf of Canada for the Empire Mining and Metalâ€" lurgical Congress to meet in Canada in 1927. The invitation has been adâ€" dressed to the Empire Council of Minâ€" ing and Metallurgical Institutions, by whom it will, no doubt be congidered at an early date. The constituent of bodies of the Empire Council are as follows: The Institution of Mining and Metallurgy, the Institution of Mining Engineers, the Institution of Pefroileiuim Technologists, the Canaâ€" dian Institute of Mining and Metalâ€" lurgy, the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, the Chemical Metallurgical and Mining Society of South Atrica, the Sonth African Inâ€" stitution of Engineers, the Mining and Geological Institute of India, the Iron and Steel Institute, and the Inâ€" stitute of Metals.

Cowan anâ€" nounced that the programme for the next meetingâ€"February 26thâ€"would be in charge of Mr. Gieo. Ritchie and _himself. It would be along the lines of the Friday evening event. It would be open only to members of the Society and their friends; members being free and a charge of fifty cents each being made for friends and adâ€" herents. Only paidâ€"up members are classed as members. So many eligible for membership have been attending the meetings regularly without joinâ€" ing or paying up, and so many others have been taking advantage of the hospitality of the Society, that the executive has decided that something should be done in fairness to all. Last: Friday there was a and this plan will be continued. All Sceots and their friends are very welâ€" come, but the event is not a public one, but a Society meeting for Scotsâ€" people and their friends. During the evening a motion was passed unanimously ‘expressing the appreciation .of the Society for Mrs. Moffatt and her good work in providâ€" ing general hospital aecommodation for Timmins when there was no other such service. Regret was also exâ€" pressed at the departure of Mrs. Mofâ€" fatt, while all wished her the very best of good fortune at her new locaâ€" tion in Rouyn, Quebece. Mrs. Mafâ€" fatt was, on motion, enrolled as an Honorary Member of the Society. Cornet solos by Mr. J. Bridges fairly brought down the house, and by their excellence of redition fully deserved the appreciation shown. Miss son‘s gsolos were another special musiâ€" cal feature that delighted all, Miss Wilson winning and meriting very hearty _ applause. Another extra special was the dancing of Irish Jigs by Mrs. Tardiff whose‘graceful and gifted work in this line won most enâ€" thusiastic encore. Miss â€" Shirley Payne and the Payne brothers, piano and violins, played instrumental selecâ€" tions with noteworthy talent and effectiveness, the first selection winâ€" ning decided encore and the respondâ€" ing number being equally well receivâ€" ed. Mr. W. Shewan, Sr., made a big hit with a new Scottish song. He was heartily encored and again pleasâ€" ed all with his second selection. Miss: Jessie Watt‘s humorous little recitaâ€" tion about the bad goat that flagged a train with a shirt that it had eaten, was another wellâ€"given and appreciâ€" ated number. I The meeting of the Caledonian Soâ€" ciety of Timmins, held in the Holâ€" linger Hall, on Friday evening last was specially well attended and all found the evening a very pleasant one. Mr. R. H. Gray, one of the executive of the Society, had charge of the proâ€" gramme, and deserved the ‘ compliâ€" ments extended for the excellent enâ€" tertainment. After the business of the Society had been transacted, Preâ€" sident W. D. Watt turned over the direction of the meeting to Mr. Gray who handled the programme with his usual â€" efficiency. Dancing _ was featured, with Old Land dances in the ascendancy, and there was the usual line of pleasant refroshments.
