F.‘STA'I'TON, Box 220, Mitchell, nt. A gentleman who has been twentyâ€" six years in this North Country, said this week that he had never seen the rivers and lakes of the North as high as they are this fall in any previous year in his knowledge. For a fall seaâ€" son, the height of the waters is a record. Even in spring flood time, he says the waters, as far as he rememâ€" bers were never as high as at present, except in the record flood time of last spring Restored to Health by Taking Lydia E. Pinkham‘s Vegeâ€" table Compound C.N.R. tracks on Notre Dame street when he received a severe wound on the cheek from a gun shot. He heard the sound of shooting but could not see who was using the riflie or rifies. The bullet did not pierce the young man‘s face but made a jagged wound and left a bad bruise on his face. He was treated at the hospital and the wound is not serious, but there is sureâ€" ly no reason why he or anyone else should suffer through the idiotic careâ€" lessness of some moron with a rifie who has no better sense or decency than to endanger people by using a. gun in this way. MOTRER OF IWINS HELPED Recently the Timmins police have been quietly conducting a campaign to stop the practice of boys and other unauthorized persons carrying guns or using them in the town limits. The value of such activity is shown by an occurrence at Sudbury last week. A boy of seventeen was walking on the Because of the appreciation felt for donations such as those referred to and the general assistance to the purâ€" poses for which the Museum stands, Senator M. J. O‘Brien and Joseph Erâ€" rington were made life members of the Museum. Life membership was conâ€" ferred on the five mining men noted above. In acknowledging the great indebtâ€" edness of the Royal Ontario Museum of Mineralogy to the men connected with the mining industry, Hon. Chas. McCrea stated that it was the desire of the trustees and of the Director that those who had made notable contriâ€" butions to this museum, or had rendâ€" ered exceptional service of great value, should have a closer connection with the museum by becoming life fellows and life members of the Royal Ontario Museum of Mineralogy. sSTRAY BULLET WOUNDS SUDBURY BOY IN CHEEK J. B. O‘Brien, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Royal Ontaâ€" rio Museum, briefly outlined the growâ€" the of the Museum, and pointed out that, in view of the present crowded condition of the exhibits and the comâ€" parative inaccessibility of the Natural History museums, the trustees hope in the near future to build a new wing to the Museum, with ready access to any One of the five constituent museums from the main entrance. In a brief address Dr. Walker outâ€" lined the objectives of the Museum, and pointed out that the growth of the collections in the Museum was due to the hearty coâ€"operation of gentlemen cennected with the mining industry, with the Director and staff of the Museum. He also indicated that the biggest and best specimens from each mining region should be preserved and displayed as a record of the type of material that has added so much to the wealth of Ontario, and as an inâ€" dication of what may yet be found. occasion of the conferring of tife memâ€" berships in the Royal Ontario Museum of Mineralogy. At a dinner one evening last week at the York Club, Toronto, life memâ€" bersnips and lifeâ€"fellowships were conâ€" ferred by the Royal Ontario Museum of Mineralogy on men whom it was desired to honour. The honour of life membership was given to: A. F. Briâ€" ham, general manager of the Hollinger Consolidated Gold Mines, Timmins; Dr. Macintosh Bell, J. G. Dickenson, H. L. Kerr, and J. L. Agrew. Hon.

Not long ago, a visitor told us that we were far behind Europe in this respect. This is only natural, since we have only just started. But we can very easily catch up the ground lost, as we have already done in other spheres. "But he stuck to it. Conditions imâ€" proved year by year until he secured a government position. It was still hard work, but a big advancement. He has won money from the north but it has taken it back. Some day he expects to strike it rich and that day is not far distant if his gold claims in the hills near his home are as good as he thin‘ks they are. No matter what hapsens he is staying in Northern Ontario "There is no country like it," he says." ‘"The first winter in the north was almost their last. Their farm stock died, it was forty below, and the only work he could get was a lumber camp cook, gEétting up at four in the morning and working until dark at night. "He has proved conclusively that a young Englishman can make a success in Canada if willing to work. Weeks was married on the day he landed sixâ€" teen years ago. He and his wife, greenhorns, picked the north as their Eldorado and by hard work have been successful. "Billy" Weeks, as that is what he is called everywhere, does his work exâ€" ceptionally well.. He knows northern roads and how the climate treats them and his experience proves a great asset every spring when the frost begins to come out of the roads. He works iong hours and deserves everything that is given to him by the government. . "Then when the three ministers were shoving the car with all their might he shsuted back to them "The cabinet gives me orders all year, this is once where the cabinet is going to work for me," and they did work for him, all the way up the next hill. "I‘m afraid you‘ll have to get out and shove, I‘m sorry," Mr. Weeks exâ€" plained. ‘"What‘s the trouble?" one minister, who appeared to be the premier, askâ€" ed. "Before the present government came into power he was taking a party of government ministers over the northern highways. Prior to the visit he had been receiving several curt commands from these same men at @Queen‘s Park. These were still fresh in his mind so he picked out particuâ€" larly dangerous looking piece of road, which he knew to be safe, and when the wheels began to sink into the mire allowed the motor of the car to chusg out. "HMarry Weeks, mayor of Englehart, a Northern Ontario metropolis and government road inspector for the disâ€" trict, is one of the few government employees who is not frightened or inâ€" timidated by cabinet ministers. In fact he has often "joshed" them on occasions. The following is given as it appeared in a recent issue of The Toronto Star Weekly :â€" MAYOR WEEKS HAD THE PULL AND THE MINISTERS PUSHED Executiveâ€"Mrs. E. W. Kearney, Haileybury; Miss Grey, New Liskeard; Dr. (Mrs.) Stark, Cobalt. Secretaryâ€"Treasurer â€" Douglas A Mutch, Haileybury.

Following the banquet and interâ€" spersed with the addresses, there was musical programme, which included a pleasing vocal solo by Mrs. A. P. Knechtel and a piano solo by Mr. R. H. Unwin. Orchestra music was proâ€" vided and the evening wound up with a dance which was enjoyed by all. Mr. W. O‘Flynn, of Cobalt, was. chairâ€" man and toastmaster for the evening. The formation of the Temiskaming Branch of the Alumni Federation. University of Toronto, with a subâ€" stantial membership, was the outcome of a gathering held in Hotel Haileyâ€" bury on Saturday night last, by local and district graduates of the Univerâ€" sity. It had been expected that the president of the University, Sir Robert Falconer, would be present, but he was unable to attend. Professor Haultain. of the mining engineering branch of the Faculty of Applied Science, was the chief speaker at the meeting, which followed a banquet in the hotel, at which sixty guests were present. Other speakers included Balmer Neilly, prosiâ€" dent of the Alumni Federation, and Mr. Conn, secretary, Robert Bryce, mining engineser, of Toronto, and Chas. Wilâ€" liams, mining engineer,~of Timmins. There was a splendid time spent by all those who were present and all are enthusiastic over the prospects of the newlyâ€"formed branch. The following from the last issue of The Haileyburian will be of general inâ€" terest to graduates of the University of Toronto in the North Land and elseâ€" where.

According to other particulars from Sudbury, the late D. Butchard, Jr., came to Canada with his father, who is one of the most highly esteemed offiâ€" cials of the Cliff, from Dundee, Scotâ€" land. Mr. Butchard, Sr., having been on visit to the Old Land. The young man entered the employ of the Inâ€" ternational Nickel Co. in the electriâ€" cal department, and among fellow emâ€" ployees was deservedly popular. He was well known among the younger set at the Copper Cliff Club, and news of his tragic death has occasion>d deep sympathy. Deceased is only surâ€" vived by his father and a brother, Douglas, in Scotland, his mother hayâ€" ing predeceased him many years ago. Mr. David Butchard, formerly master mechanic at the Dome, is now master mechanic for the International Nickel Co. About four o‘clock last Tuesday, according to the despatches from Sudâ€" bury, David Butchard, Jr., who was 21 years of age at the time of death, was working with Harry Moore, another electrician. They were engaged on some of the old transformers, and from what can be learned, they unâ€" derstood that the power had been turned off. Butchard touched a high tension wire and although every efâ€" fort was made toward resusitation, the youth did not respond. Two phyâ€" sicians from Copper Cliff, Dr. Harris and Dr. Feldhans, for three hours enâ€" deavoured to revive life without avail. The company‘s first aid crews from Creighton Mine and Copper Clif smelter were also rushed to the scene.. The many friends in the Porcupine camp will extend sincere sympathy to ~Mr. D. Butchard, now of Copper Cliff, but formerly master mechanic at the Dome, in the sad death last week of his son, David Butchard, Jr., who met instant death by electrocuâ€" tion while at work at the Internationâ€" al Nickel Co. plant at Copper Cliff.
