Schumacher‘s New Railway Station an Upâ€"toâ€"Date One Schumacher, Ont., Dec.â€" 7th, 1927. Special to The Advance. During the past five weeks, T. and N, O. Workmen have been engaged in building and making extensive alâ€" terations at the Schumacher railway depot. As a result we now have an upâ€"toâ€"date station for the accommoâ€" dation of the business men and traâ€" velling public. The main office is bright, wellâ€"lighted and beautifully finished. There are two comfortable waitingâ€"rooms, one for ladies, and one for general use. Both contain hot and cold water, toilet and lavaâ€" tory conveniences. The former strueâ€" ture has been converted into baggage, express and freight departments. A wellâ€"finished basement with furnace and space for record storage is a new feature. In the summer of 1928 the railway company and citizens may coâ€"operate to beautify the surroundâ€" ings and lake front, and thus more favourably impress the tourists and visitors as they alight from the evenâ€" ing express. ‘The choir of the Trinity United Church will present a Christmas Canâ€" tata in the church on Thursday evenâ€" ing Dec. 15th.

It is these forest rangers who are the heroes of *"*The Understanding Heart.‘‘ The story is interpreted by an allâ€"star cast, including Joan Crawâ€" ford and Rockliffe Fellows. In the forest reserves of the Westâ€" ern States, where a single forest comâ€" prises millions of acres of densely wooded land, the forest rangers are joining forees with federal authoriâ€" ties to wipe out the illicit distilling of liquor. This they are doing despite the utmost personal danger. Will Provide best of Accommodation for Travelling Public at Schumacher. Y. P. S. Hold Enjoyable Sleighing Party.

Driven from cities by the action of police and federal officers, the illicit moonshine distillers are being graduâ€" ally foreed to the mountains and forest where their operations are not so likely to be interrupted by the law. Throughout the Southern States practically all moonshining is done in the mountains out of reach of the ‘‘"revenoo,"" save the spasmodic rards which occeasionally wipe out a still and sometimes result in arrests of the operators.

A specially large attendance of members and friends is asked for, as all are sure to enjoy the event toâ€" morrow (Friday) night. These Cochrane people this week reâ€" ceived some support in their contenâ€" tion from reports from Ottawa reâ€" garding the Dominion airmen operâ€" ating in Hudson Straits at present. Mr. Alex Johnson, Deputy Minister of Marine and Fisheries at Ottawa, when asked as to how the airmen were progressing in their work, said in efâ€" fect that weather conditions in the Hudson Straits were much milder than was generally supposed, and also that the absence of ice in that body,. of water was actually hampering the aerial activities that had been plannâ€" ed. _ According to the information given out by the Deputy Minister the lowest temperature so far registered, LADIES‘ NIGHT ON FRIDAY AT CALEDONIAN SOCIETY according to reports received from the various air stations, was zero; while the mean barometric reading was 29.25 At Port Burwell, on the eastern entrance of the straits, there is no ice in sight; at Wakehame Bay, an enâ€" closed body of water, there is no open water in sight. No report was reâ€" ceived yesterday from the third station, at Nottingham Island, at the western entrance to the Hudson Straits. The three air stations were estabâ€" lished this summer by the Governâ€" ment for the purpose of making obserâ€" vations with a view to ascertaining how the period of navigation in and out of the straits might be extended and what aids to nevigation might be required. The information is reâ€" quired in connection with the conâ€" struction of the Hudson Bay Railway. REPDORTS ABSENGE DF 16E IN THE RUOSON STRATS On several occasions when the exâ€" tension of the T. N. O. to James Bay has been discussed the suggestion would be made that getting to tideâ€" water was not a very desirable matter on account of the ice in Hudson Bay and straits. The same argument has been freely used in regard to the Hudson Bay railway in Manitoba. Even a clergyman stationed for soine years in the James Bay area upheld the view that the most of the year everything froze up and the season for navigation was so short as to be not worth mentioning. This sort of talk always stirred the ire of a numâ€" bed of people in Cochrane. In fairâ€" ness it should be said that some of these Cochrane optimists were not optimistic from any lack of knowledge of the country referred to. They had travelled the Hudson Bay country to the north both winter time and in summer, and they were in a position to know what they were talking about. Generally, they gave from two or four more months for navigation in Hudâ€" son Bay than the other side was ready to allow.

M. GORDON In a recent article on the March Gold Mines The Advance quoted an interview in some of the outside newsâ€" papers in which Mr. Baldwin, residâ€" ent manager of the March, was creâ€" dited with suggesting that it was poor advice on the part of previous enâ€" gineers at the property that foreed the closing of the mill some time ago. Mr. Baldwin assures The Advance this week that he made no such stateâ€" ment to any interviewer and nothing that he said could be honestly conâ€" strued as any reflection on previous engineers. Apart from professional fairness altogether, Mr. Baldwin points out that he kno“ that the enâ€" gineers were not to blame for the closm0 of the mill, as they had actuâ€" ally lecommendod a;_ramst the opening of the mill prematurely. The enâ€" gineers were in no way blameable in the matter and Mr. Baldwin wishes naturally to make it clear that he cast no such reflections as the summary of the interview appearing in some outâ€" side newspapers would suggest. It is only fair that Mr. Baldwin should be righted in this matter. His whole enâ€" ergies are being devoted to making a success of the property, and he adâ€" mits to having neither time nor inâ€" clination to find fault with anyone. Work at the March Gold Mines proâ€" perty is going along smoothly and the prospects are of the best. Developâ€" ment work is being carried on with pleasing results and it is hoped and expected that the present plans when carried through will mean the developâ€" ment of the March mine into one of the producing properties of the camp.
