Last week Mr. R. LeHeup was callâ€" ed to the North on account of a case of incest, or rather two such cases, reported near Pagwa on the Transconâ€" tinental west of Cochrane. The cases are based on the charges preferred against a farmer whose two daughters, aged 10 and 14 years respectively, acâ€" cuse their father of this heinous crime. â€"Mr. LeHeup was informed of the matter by one of the residents of the district and with a Provincial policeman proceeded to investigate the matter. As a result of the invesâ€" tigation the man was placed under arrest and will come before Magisâ€" trate Tucker on the charges.

In making the trip, the officer and Mr. LeHeup had to spend a night at Pagwa, and the Children‘s Aid Superâ€" intendent thinks that there should be some sort of aid for Children‘s Aid men in nights spent at Pagwa. He says that the mosquitoes are the most numerous, most vicious, most persisâ€" tent, most energetic, most resourceâ€" ful, most unprineipled and most bloodthirsty (and other expressions that are not set forth here) that ever tormented men. He returned to Timâ€" mins last week literally punctured all over with mosquito bites. From his long residence in the North Land he knew that mosquitoes made poor pets for people, but never before did he reglize how undesirable they were. Pagwa mosquitoes he places in a class apart. _ are simply awful,"‘ he says.

I have seen them arrive on the feeding grounds in periodic clouds, and woe betide the man who has nothing to offer in defence. Living in a log caâ€" bin on an island in the middle of James‘ Bay we used to drape a mosâ€" quito tent within the narrow confines of a bunk and tuck the lower edges in under the hayâ€"filled mattress. The material had a fine mesh, almest as closelyâ€"woven as cheesecloth. _ In warm weather one suffered the agonies of suffocation, yet dared not leave the tiniest opening unguarded. Even then some declared,â€"and that most foreciblyâ€"that the invading hosts conâ€" geregated beneath the bunks and bit clean through the mattress. Put only one‘s finger tip near to either wall of the netting when the bloodthirsty parâ€" asites would instantly collect in a black, struggling swarm, as ‘bees setâ€" tle about their queen. I have read of a particular form of torture at one time practised by a certain aboriginal people. They stripped a victim and bound him hand and foot and left him exposed to the attacks of numbers of some such devouring insects. _ Stag Island in James‘ Bay would have been an ideal location for this peculiar form of sport. â€"â€" Recollections, fond and otherwise, of a certain camp on the shores of this inland sea, come to mind. In that month and that latiâ€" tude, one would be prompted to say continental is fully upheld by Robert James, an oldâ€"time camper in this North.

With only a canvas wall separating me from the "big top‘‘ I was the unbidden audiâ€" ence of this strange earnival. Then, during the middle watches of the seâ€" eond mght a tragedy occurred. One of the erew, elected during the day as the fat man of the sideshow, rolled over in his sleep, and the duckling was no more. And, the young rabbit, finding a fold in the mosquito net that offered possibilities of escape, enâ€" larged the opening and returned to his native haunts. The myriads of unâ€" bidden guests without soon found where the bunny had made his exit and hastened inward to the festive board. That put the eap on it ; tents were struck, and no cireus ever made tent; five sailors oceupied a larger canvas shelter pitched end to end with mineg. Unwittingly, this jovial crew furnished for me the only form <of pastime and entertainment throughout that fortyâ€"eight hours of confinement. They conducted a wellâ€"equipped oneâ€" ring cireus.

Stevâ€" ens, wellâ€"known and high esteemed in this district. The following further reference from The Haileyburian will be of general interest here. The Haileyburian says.â€" Sentenced to one year in the Onâ€" tario Reformatory after he had pleadâ€" ed guilty, before Magistrate Tucker, to a charge of attempted suicide, Harâ€" ry Sparling a carpenter employed by the Sprucee Falls Co., at Kapuskasing, was brought to fHaileybury last week by Provincial Constables Franksand Durnford and lodged in the district jail. Sparling inflicted a gash, two inches long in his throat, using a razor for the purpose, and prior to his acâ€" tion is alleged to have made threats against the life of a waitress in Kaâ€" puskasing. According to the police Sparling, who is a married man with a wife in North Bay, went into the room at the Spruce Falls Co.‘s staff house occeupied by the girl and anâ€" nounced that ‘"‘it is all up with both of us.‘‘ The waitress ran away and during her absence Sparling cut himâ€" self in the throat _ The alarm was raised and the provincial officer resâ€" ponded, putting Sparling under arrest and procuring medical aid. He had been friendly with the girl, it is alâ€" leged. Sparling urged intoxication as a reason Por his action.

What value a wy,, human being/ REPORTS ABOUT FEVER IN ROUYN ARE NOT CORRECT There have been reports to the efâ€" fect that Rouyn camp is suffering from a sort of epidemic of typhoid fever. This is far from correect. There are one or two cases of typhoid in lf‘ouy.n but that is all. The cases are not serious. It is understood that at least one of the cases originated outside the camp. According to the doctors there is positively nowsort of opidemic and no reason for suggesting any such thing. The stories abhout the fever cases in Rouyn are only the usâ€" ual outside newspaper yarns that are so irritating,â€"the kind of yarn that even to deny is to give some apparent support to the rumours. _ However, the daily newspaper stories may have one good effect,â€"they may cause such care and attention that better precanâ€" tions may be taken to avoid any danâ€" ger of any typhoid epidemic. At the same time the unfounded reports cause considerable unnecessary anxieâ€" ty to those who have relatives or friends living at Rouyn. The outâ€" side newspapers should exercise deâ€" cent care before spreading stories that cause unnecessary ‘worry and anxiety. JOS.
