Again, the attention of the Government is directed to the fact that the murderer of Inspector Constable at Cochrane last OQctober is still unpunâ€" ished. So long as this cowardly assassin of a faithful and loyal provincial employee is undiscovered, the province of Ontario has cause for shame. ; Some weeks ago there was announcement made to the effect that within six weeks the settlers would be paid the balance due them for years and more by the Mattagami Pulp Paper Co. for pulpwood purchased. The six weeks have passed, and some other weeks have also passed, and still the settlers havre heard nothing further in the matter. The settlers had to wait so long before they received even a quarter of their claims against the Mattagami Pulp Paper Co. that it seems only fair that some reasonable speed should be shown now in paying them the balance due. The delay in payng the settâ€" lers has retarded settlement in this part of the North Land, as well as being a serious handieap on the men who are attempting to pioneer this new country. _ Announcement is made this week that hereafter Division Court for this district will sit at South Poreupine, instead of at Timmins. The reason for this is that Judge Caron feels that the town of Timmins has not provided sufficient and sanitary accommodation for the court. _ The accommodation siven the eourt in the past two or three years has not been what it should have been. This is another matter in which the 1926 council deserve the most severe eensure. The Ontario Government made a serious effort last year to interest the town couneil in the matter of a new municipal building that would also provide accommodation for certain provincial departments in their work here. The Government was ready to discuss the question of the province paying a material share of the cost of the proposed new buildâ€" ing. The town council of 1926, however, was so busy with sand and gravel and eostly auditor‘s reports that they would take up the question of the new building. The Government found particular fault with the jail acâ€" commodation, and it would not be surprising if this phase of the matter is again taken up by the province. It is true that in the past few weeks very material improvement has been made in the municipal building, but it must be admitted at the same time that it is only a matter of time before a new hbuilding will be absolutely essential. By refusing to take up the question in a sympathetic way when the Government showed a disposition to give assisâ€" tanee, the 1926 council apparently missed an opportunity for the advantage of the town. â€" Unfortunately, however, this was by no means the only opporâ€" tunitvy missed by the 1926 ecounecil to the town‘s disadvantage. several youngsters wanted an extra scribbler for a sister or brother at home. The attention of the authorities is icalled to the number of sick sisters and brothers in town. One youngster asked for a sceribbler for her cousin. *‘Tell your cousin to call for one herself,"‘ was the reply. ::She can‘t‘" said the little girl, ‘‘for she lives in the Old Country."‘ The children were delighted with the seribblers, which had a cover with pictures of the schools of Timmins. The Advance had 21,600 seconds of good fun from the event. Accordingly, it may be said in the immortal words of The Shawville Equity, that a good time was had by all. Just a final line of statistiecs! Since Monday morning The Advance staff has had to say : **There are no more sceribblers!"‘ no less than 977 times. 8 WIHM One boy tried the trick of sending smaller youngsters for the books and then taking them from the youngsters and selling them. He was caught at this scheme, and another financial wizard found that more than fish ean Three different little girls asked for ‘‘two for twins.‘"‘ One of these actuâ€" ally pointed out the other twin. The other two were taken on trust, as it was felt that twins are naturally twice as truthful as ordinary children. Last week The Advance offered each child attending any of the schools in the town a free seribbler. There was a very generous response to the offer, and all this without any formal advertising being necessary. On Friâ€" day and Saturday about 2000 children called at The Advance office and 2500 seribblers were given away. The Advance has prepared some interesting statistiecs in regard to this event enjoyed by all. The moral, if any, from such statistiecs should be apparent to any who care for morals. Of the 2000 odd children calling for the free seribblers, 217 said ‘*Please,"‘ only; 273 said **Thank you,"‘ only, apparently being Scotch enâ€" ough not to be polite until they had something to be polite about; 119 said ‘*Pleasg‘‘ and ‘‘Thank you‘‘ both. _ There were 1263 who simply yelled, ‘*‘Gimime one, mister.‘‘ Another 721 simply grabbed for the books being distributed. There were 876 who went out of the office leaving the door open. Three youngsters almost made a formal little speech: ‘‘Please, will you be good enough to give me a seribbler!‘‘ â€" One girl said: ‘*Will you kindly give me one!‘‘ There were 469 who tried to get two seribblers each. Some of them, by various devious ways, succeeded. The inevitable result was that some had to go without any. IT IS REMARKABLE HOW SOON CHILDREN GET THE HUMAN TOUCKH.

On their return from the wedding tour they will take up residence in Timmins, where hosts of friends extend good wishes. The bride was for some years on the staff of Rinn Bros. store and during the past few weeks there have been many parties and presentations in her honâ€" our. The wedding gifts were numerâ€" ous and beautiful and indicated the popularity of the couple. The statement made by a mamnm who claims to have attended the last meeting of the own council, that Mayor Longmore stated that he had been urged **by his prohibition friends to clean up the drug stores in town‘‘ cean best be characterized by a word of three letters, with a fourâ€"letter adjective in front, if desired. There is absolately no excuse for making such a stateâ€" ment about the mayor. As usual, he made himself elear beyond the possiâ€" bility of misunderstanding by any honest man. He stated that he had reâ€" ceived more complaints about the drug stores than about anything else sinee he had been in offce. ‘""It was not my prohibition friends, either, who complained,‘‘ he said, ‘‘but other good citizens who wanted the law obâ€" served,.‘"‘ Apparently, some of the people of the *Gimmeâ€"libertyâ€"orâ€"gimmeâ€" death‘‘ type are determined to develop an issue between the lawâ€"abiding and those who prefer to make a dollar by wrong means. There need be no question as to which side Mayor Imngmore will be on, nor need there be any doubt as to the attitude that will be fa_doptedby the good people of Timmins. The vast majority here believe in law and order and fairness and straightâ€" dealing. POPULAR COUPLE WEDDED ON wWEDNESDAY MORNING. _yery pretty and largelyâ€"attended dmn took place at St. Anthony‘s h \C. church on Wednesday morning, June l1st, when Miss Adeline Rocheâ€" fort, and Mr. Chas,. MceCann, two popâ€" ular young people of the town, were united in the holy bonds of matriâ€" mony, Rev. Fr. Theriault officiating. After the ceremony there was a wedâ€" ding breakfast at the home of the bride‘s mother, Mrs. Rochefort, THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO It seems like a commonplace to say that in the death of Sir John Williâ€" son, newspaperdom has lost a brilliant leader and the country a great citizen. Yet it is the truth. Sir John himself, with his talent for apt phrase, would have been able to state the case about another equally worthy, in a way that would have combined originality with sincerity. To newspaperdom and to Canada the departure of the leader is a matter of greater moment than the adventurous flight of Charles Lindbergh. The death of Willison is a great loss beyond question. The achievement of Lindbergh is a questionable gain. Sir John Willison was a newspaper editor who could view losses and gains and incidents and accidents in their true perspective. _ As editor of The Toronto Globe, representative in Canada for The London (England) Times, editor of The Toronto News, and more recently editor of Willison‘s Monthly, Sir John Willison gave great service to Canada. What causes he espoused‘ with a sincerity and talent that won their advancement! â€" What evils he asâ€" satled with a determination for justice and the right that could not be stayed ! What advocacy he gave to Canad@, its history, its resources, its possibilites, its people! With it all, he was a kindly generous man, greatly esteemed in his own profession. . He was everskeen to see new talent and ever ready to give such talert the assistance of Ahis influence. Although seventyâ€"one years of age at the time of his death, to Aall who knew him he seemed still to be young, because he had preserved his high faith and his great ideals all through his long life. He was a native of Ontario,â€"one of Canada‘s very own great journalists,â€"and in all the many tributes that the press is showâ€" ering upon his memory toâ€"day, there are non that do him full justice, because| there are few with his own wonderful felicity of expression and his unm'r-i ing ability to present the case in perfect literary form. All newspaper work is done under great pressure. There seems little time for fine writing. Yet Sir John Willison, for all the daily gr.ind,. wrote genuine literature everyday. His work was finished, scholarly, and easy to read,â€"always moderate, sinâ€" | | 1 cere, and gracious. Complaint has been made that the road to Sandy Falls is in poor conâ€" dition. This road is much used and the authoritiee will no doubt give it early attention. There are so many roads to be kept in passible condition that the Northern Development Department must have difficulty in deciding just where to start. At the same time new roads are also badly needed. In this country, the chief need seems to be Roads, Roads and More Roads! The North Land is justly famous for having every kind of weather there is, from intense heat to bitter cold, and from rain and slush to snow and hail, not to mention wind and calm and fog. Sometimes the North Land has all these kinds of weather on the one day, as occurred last Thursday. ‘*Keep the river open for traffic‘‘ is a good motto now. The river is the only highway available during this part of the year for many settlers, prospectors, business firms and others. As a means of pleasure and reâ€" creation the use of the river is becoming increasingly popular. Accordingly it is essential that it be kept open for traffic. No one should object to a temâ€" porary blocking of the river for a short time for the convenience of the industries that make use of it for business purposes, but there is no exeuse for the persistent and lengthy blocking of the river just to allow certain irms or individuals to save money unduly on the transportation of logs: ar ties. With proper booms and sufficient men to handle them the logs]‘ can be brought down the river without serious interference with the traffic. Those who use the river as a highway should guard their own interests an the interests of the public by notifyving the Department of Public Works t ! | | | Ottawa every time the river is improperly blocked. the Dome are $36,033,898.00 ; McIntyre, $28,065,369.00 ; Vipond, $2,813,885.00. It will be noted that the McIntyre has produced more than the whole Kirkâ€" land camp, while the Dome has a still greater lead, and the Hollinger‘s proâ€" duction has been greater than that of all the other mines of Poreupine and Kirkland Lake camps combined. The total production of the Kirkland Lake camp is $28,443,920.00, to March 31st. Of this amount, the leading Kirkland Lake mines have contributed as follows:â€"Lake Shore, $9,295,012.00 ; Wrightâ€" Hargreaves, $7,564,101.00; Teck-Hugh.es, $£6,670,046.00; Toughâ€"Oakes, $2,â€" 731,277.00. Whiskery won the Kentucky Derby this year, according to the daily newspapers.â€" This looks like another scheme of Lap‘s to advertise his Charâ€" ity Stag Party for 1927. Yes, we have no seribblers toâ€"day, anymore, whatever‘ Another case was a dog alleged to have been running at large. This charge was dismissed, the owner of the dog disproving the allegations, and the matter apparently being inâ€" eited by some ill feeling of a neighâ€" bour. $ At the police court this week there were the usual routine cases. In addition Provincial Officer Finger charged Fred Bertrand with eruelty to animmals, the offence being the beatâ€" ing of a horse with a piece of chain. A fine of $2.00 and costs was imposed, together with a warning.
