About the hips there is a narrow satin ribbon tied in a bow with short ends. Theodore had been a very naughty boy, and his mother had told hlm that he must pray to be made better. So after praying for the various memâ€" bers of the family, as usual, the small vorce humbly said : ‘‘And make me a better boy.‘‘ Then, after a second‘s hesitation, he added in his best imitaâ€" tion of the grownâ€"up â€" manner: “\everthdess, not my will, but Thine be done.‘ I could say more, but do not wish to waste valuable space in your paper, for I think I have cleared up the finâ€" ancial situation, for which I have given the officers the credit, and not myself, for I was only one of them, and was not paid to run the P. D. F. L., but to record all minutes, attend to correspondence, and pay all acâ€" counts. Thanking you for the space, I reâ€" main, B Kashiton Fanrites Now, see whethner the season of 1926 was the failure Mr. Field sugâ€" gests. Taking the auditors‘ report now before me, the total receipts for 1926 were $443.57; disbursements, $409.27 ; balance 84.30. The assets were as follows:â€"T. F. â€"C., $11.50; cash still in Mr Field‘s hands, $7.80 ; in secretaryâ€" treasurer‘s hands, $5.58; credit in bank, $28.72; exchange on cheques 30 cents; total, $53.90. Liaâ€" bilities, $52.94. This leaves a credit balance over all liabilities of 96 cents, and the defaulting fee had also been returned to the respective clubs for the first time. It is not much of a balance, but it was a credit to the officers and delegates to overcome the deficit and give the 1927 officers a start without a debt. In reviewing the two seasons, I find that in 1926 there was more harmony on the field and more sportsmanship than in the year just closed. Dear Sir:â€"In your issue of Dee. 1st, you have reference to the P. D. F. L. smoker, and I would like to correct some misâ€"statements by one of the speakers at that event, as reâ€" ported in your columns. The speaker I refer to is Mr. Field. He stated that by businessâ€"like methods this year the P. D. F. L. had paid off a previous deficit. This is not the first time that Mr. Field has cast reflecâ€" tions as to alleged failures before he took office as secretary, and in the interests of fact, fairness and good sportsmanship a correction is necesâ€" sary. There was no deficit when Mr. Field took office, though there was one the previous year, but this was wiped off before 1927 came along. The figâ€" ures in the audited books will explain. (On taking over the books in April, 1926, the bank book showed a balance of $10.95; cash in treasurer‘s hands, $7.80 ; . Outstanding Nabilities were defaulting fees to six elubs, at $7.50 each (which according to rules The following letter was received this week for publication :â€" To the Editor, The Advance, Timmins is returnable to the respective clubs at the end of the playing season), $45.00; two outstanding accounts, $21.10; total liabilities, $66.10; makâ€" ing a deficit of $47.40.

The following is from the last issue of The Pas (Manitoba) Herald :â€" Someone from Souris, Manitoba, has sent:â€"an unstamped letter to the Herald with the following requests: ‘*Can I get a job in The Pas?

Only ten miles of this to eut and the rest is there now. The pulp cutters will make most of that ten miles, and later on the Government could put it in shape for autos."‘ GOLD RIDGE SYNDICATE TO DEVELOP PROPERTY. The Gold Ridge Syndicate has been formed for the purpose of operating a group of claims in Catherine Townâ€" ship, lying east of Gold Hill. Plans include installation of a mining plant and a deep sinking campaign prior to incorporation of a stock company. Surface indications are said to be favourable. ‘*I may state,"‘‘ concludes Mr. Presâ€" ton, ‘‘that the heads of the Abitibi Power Co. all go in their autos to Watabeag Lake, which is teeming with trout. .

A. Preston in regard to the Belt Line plan for roads in this North. Mr. Preston has been advocating this Belt Line plan for a year or more and many of his letters in regard to the matter have appeared in The Adâ€" vance. The Board of Trade recently passed a resolution urging the Govâ€" ernment‘s attention to the matter, and Mr. Preston is furnishing further information and argument to the Board of Trade. _ Mr. Preston has drawn maps to show the route of the proposed Belt Line, these maps apâ€" pearing on the back of the sheets containing his letter to Mr. Langdon. In part, Mr. Preston‘s letter is as follows :â€"â€" ‘*Do you know that the largest auto in Northern Ontario runs from Matheâ€" son south twenty miles on a road to what is called Watabeag Dam. _ A short mile away is Watabeag Lake, one of the finest and most beautiful lakes of this North. The scenery there is also magnificent and from Long Watabeag Lake westward, or southwest, it is only a short distance to High Falls. The country is teemâ€" ing with pulpwood, which will be eut, and, of course, a road will be needed to either dump it in the Montreal river or the Watabeag river.

In the cireular issued by the departâ€" ment offering the reward, Bochenko is described as 40 years old, height five feet seven inches, weight about 145 lbs., jaundiced complexion, dark features, small chin, small blue eyes, prominent check bones, hair turning grey. A picture of Bochenko is printâ€" ed on the cireular. On account of the clothes worn when the picture was taken, Bochenko looks like a bigger man than his deseription would sugâ€" gest. Bochenko is a Russian by birth. When last seen he was thought to be wearing khaki trousers and a mackiâ€" naw, coat. He wore a moustache at the time he was last seen. If he is in Last week notices were sent out unâ€" der the signature of Gen,. V. S. Willâ€" iams, commissioner of Provincial police, offering a reward of $500.00 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of Archie Bochenko, for whom a warrant is held in corâ€" nection with the murder of Nestor Bielik, Russian farmer, who was found lying dead in front of his home some seven miles from Cochrane on Oct. l7th. So far as known Bielik was last seen alive on Oct. 15th. Bochenâ€" ko lived with Bielik, and Bochenko disappeared at the time of the desth of Bielik. Provincial police have been searching the country for Bochenko but so far have been unsuccessful in finding him, though reports are to the effect that he has been seen since the tragedy. He is believed to be in hidâ€" ing in the bush in Lamarche township or Mann township, or else to have perished from hunger or exposure in his efforts to evade arrest. The fact that the Province is offerâ€" ing a reward at this time suggests to many that the Provincial police feel that they can do no more to seâ€" cure Bochenko who appears to be a very necessary witness to clear up the matter. If this is the case it would appear that the reward should have been for the ‘*capture‘‘ only of the wanted man. Few, if any, are likely to take up the securing of Bochenko or do much seeking for him in the bush, when the reward specifies that the information is to lead to ‘‘the conâ€" viction‘‘ of Bochenko. _ Whether Bochenko is guilty or innocent of anyâ€" thing or everything, he would appear to be a necessary witness in this parâ€" ticular case. The adjourned inquest into the death of Bielik last week returned a verdict that he came to his death at the hands of some person not named.

Bochenko is said to be an expert bushman and many believe that he will be able to survive in the bush all winter if this is his plan. It is said that two adjoining proâ€" perties, St. Anthony and Lavalâ€"Queâ€" bee, are working through the winter. The Delmas group, to the south of Oriole, are also working their full zang through the winter and are now building a combination camp and cookery, which will be completed about the middle of December. The work on Delmas is being concentrated in the section surrounding claim 14665, where the mineralized area was found. the bush and still alive he will likely have a growth of beard, because, so Despatches this week from Chemâ€" inis, the terminal in Ontario of the T.

No. 2 test pit is down 12 feet, and at this depth the rhyolite is said to be well mineralized with massive chalcoâ€" pyrite, disseminated chalcopyrite and to the southâ€"east the mineralization is limited to 13 feet in width on the west side of the pit, but on the east it is the full width. This is the best showing to date. No. 3 pit has been started on the continuation of the strike of No. 2 mineralized zone, about 65 feet to the east of No. 2 mineralized zone, about 65 feet to the:east of No. 2.
