Oakes‘ Home at Kirkland Lake Fire breaking out in the "Chateau," Harry Oakes‘ residence, west of the Lake Shore Mine, at Kirkland Lake, completely destroyed the building on Friday of last week. The fire was a first noticed when a passerby saw smoke issuing from the building about noon. The mine fire brigade and the Kirkland Lake brigade were soon on the scene but despite their efforts were unable to get to the seat of the fire, which apparently startâ€" ed from a fireplace in the front part of the buildng and spread between the partitions. The original building was the first home of Mr. Oakes and is built of logs. Last summer Mr. Oakes made additions to the building and fitted it up in the most upâ€"toâ€"date manner. It was classâ€" ed as the most beautiful home in Norâ€" thern Ontario. It is estimated the building and conâ€" tents were valued at $150,000 and is alâ€" most a total loss, Literary Digest quotes restaurant adâ€" vertisement in a Santa Cruz (Califorâ€" nia) newspaper:â€""Hot Homeâ€"made Mice Pies, fresh daily."

McCrea, Minister crop and should be so used and regardâ€" of Mines for Ontario, announced that, ed. Ontario, as a lumberman, had been the work of expnloring the extent and a lamentable fatiure. In the Ontario Legislature at Toronto last week Hon. Chas. McCrea, Minister of Mines for Ontario, announced that the work of exploring the extent and value of the lignite deposits along the Abitibi river and the oil possibilities in that locality has been let by Govâ€" ernment contract to Smith and Trovers, Ltd.. diamond drilling operators, of Budbury. Explorations will be centred around Blacksmith Rapids, which are some 18 miles north of the present end of gteel on the Temiskaming and Northern Onâ€" tario Railway, and where the biggest lignite deposits are located. The Sudâ€" bury firm will commence immediately to haul equipment in from the railway, and will start drilling as soon as weaâ€" ther conditions permit. ‘The Blacksmith Rapids area wWAs closed to private exploration by the Government when members: of the mine‘s geological staff first looked over the lignite finds. Tests made of samples last year by the testing branch of the mines branch, at Ottawa, revealâ€" ed that the lignite could be used in variâ€" ous purposes. While many sampie> were exceptionally high grade, it was pointed out by Premier Ferguson, at the time of the tests, that the value of the deposits from which they came could not be predicted until drilling had been done. The Sudbury firm, it is understood, will employ a large shift of men to handle the operations contemplated. The territory on which the operation:> will be conducted is Crown property, the Government having taken the preâ€" caution to withdraw it for exploration several years ago when coal and oil there were first talked about. Last fall, Dr. W. S. Dyer brought back a substantial amount of lignite from Blacksmiths Rapids, 100 miles north of Cochrane, and turned it over to the Dominion Laboratories for thorâ€" ough tests reported on last December. Premier Ferguson‘s comment on these is "by low temperature carbonization, the lignite is converted into ‘char‘ with a fixed carbon content of 80 per cent. and about 15 per cent. ash. It has 11,. 500 toâ€" 12,000 B.T.U. It has been deâ€" monstrated that char can be made inâ€" to briquettes having all the degirable qualities of anthracite, with quite as high a heating efficiency. It may also be burned in its raw state or it can be pulverized and used under boilers, smelters, and in pulp mills." (From The Acton Free Press) The doctor‘s servant was returning home after his day‘s labour, and his master instructed him to bring a bottle of medicine for his nextâ€"doorâ€"neighâ€" bour, who was a patient. Next mornâ€" ing the doctor nquired: "Did you deâ€" liver the medicine last night, Tom." Tomâ€"*"Yes, sir." Doctorâ€"*"Do you know if he took any of it?" Tomâ€""Oh, he must have, because I saw crepe on the door this morning." THE PROOF OF THE MEDICINE THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO Tragic Side Forestry Work is Loss From Fire "The Province has been in the lumâ€" ber business for more than 100 years, since the first sale for $650 in 1827. At that time we were so enormously wealâ€" thy that we did not realize the need for conservation. Southern Ontario had perhaps the finest stand of mixed timber in the world and as a result of the wasteful methods of clearing some of our most valuable trees are becoming rarities As the second source of revenue in the Province, bringing the Government $5,000,000 anâ€" nually, the industry is well worth atâ€" tention," he said. Having brought home to his hearers the disastrous results of failure in conâ€" servation, Mr. Finlayson proceeded to outline the plans brought forward by the Government for checking the timâ€" ber waste. For this purpose, Ontario, like Gaul, is divided into three parts. The tragic siae of 1rorestry work, the speaker said, is the fire menace; not only because of the fact that more timber has been lost by fire annually than went through the mills, but beâ€" cause of the loss of lives and homes that is entailed. Mr. Finlayson sketchâ€" ed briefly the present system of fire patrol by towers, telephones and planes. PUBLIC APPROVES TERM FOR OFFENDING EDITOR In an editorial article commenting on the case against Arvo Vaara, the editor of the Finnish newspaper at Sudbury, who was tried and sentenced last week for seditious libel, The Pembroke Standardâ€"Observer makes the following pointed reference:â€" "When Justice Wright sentenced the Finnish editor at Sudbury to six months in gaol and to a fine of $1,000 he tempered mercy with justice. If the sentence of the Court had been far more severe it would have been the opinion of the Canadian people that this Finn had got nothing more than was coming to him. During his six months in gaol he will have time for reflection, but even then he will scarceâ€" ly appreciate our tolerance. Had his offence been committed during the days of the Great War his plant would probably have been wrecked, but now the law takes its course, and the result, while not so drastic nor destructive, is just the same. "What the Finn wrote was not only seditious, but writing it when the Caâ€" nadian people were praying for the reâ€" covery of the King, was simply stupid. The Canadians are tolerant, but there is a limit to everything." NEW LISKEARD DISTRICT FOR GROWING SEED GRAIN Mr. R. H. Kemp, M.P.P. in his place in the Legislature last week, furnished the House, says The Globe, with some impressions he gained of Northern Onâ€" tario and its development on the 6¢â€" casion, last July, of the Progressive group‘s tour of that section of the Proâ€" vince. Mr. Kemp thought that setâ€" tlers should be gathered together more closely; that reforettation of white pine would be a long slow and possibly unsuccessful process; that electricial energy from the water powers available could be more evenly distributed over the country than it is at present; and that every effort should be made by the Government to encourage the growâ€" ing of seed by the farmers in the disâ€" trict north from New Liskeard. "That section," he stressed, "is a wonderful seedâ€"growing country, comâ€" paratively free from weeds. From it there could be developed with a great market demand."â€"The Speaker. FORMER COBALT PRINCIPAL SETTLES INCOME TAX CASE The dispute between S. W. Carriere, former principal of the Cobalt public school, and the town of Cobalt, in reâ€" gard to income taxes, WaS settled last week. The case had been in progress for a considerable time. Carriere had been in arrears for income tax before resigning his position and leaving Coâ€" balt. After he went to Toronto to take up the study of law, he asked for time on the account and was granted a couple of extensions. Eventually, howâ€" ever, the case was turned over for legal collecton. It was to come up in Divisâ€" ion Court at Haileybury last week, but according to the despatches from Coâ€" balt last week, Mr. Carriere offered to settle the account in full if each side paid its own costs in the matter. This was agreed to and the case accordingly withdrawn from Division Court. The town‘s costs in the matter were only a few dollars. The amount due in income tax by Mr. Carriere totalled $99.54. Toronto Mail and Empire:â€"The seâ€" cretary of state for the dominions says that if every employed Engtishman would spend a penny a day upon buyâ€" ing British instead of foreign manuâ€" factures, an additional 100,000 people would be employed each year, fresh capital would be added to Britizsh inâ€" dustry and the whole wheel of producâ€" tion and exchange would go forward with vastly increased momentum. In that case what can be the objection to establishing a moderate protective tariff which would do all this and more In view of the recent vigsit here of Major Hartt in connection with the meeting held in the Oddfellows‘ hall to consider the proposed rules and reâ€" gulations of the Mattagami Boomâ€" ing Company, Limited, the adâ€" dress made some days ago at Montreal by Major Hartt to the Canadian Lumâ€" bermen‘s Association will be of speâ€" cial interest to readers of The Advance. In view of the fact that Major Hartt while here attempted to make it plain that he wished to see, and the Governâ€" ment, wished to see, lumbermen, setâ€" tlers and all others concerned, treated justly and fairly, it will be hoped that the Major will also feel that he can adâ€" dress the settlers as "Fellow Settlers," if not in actual fact, at least in spirit.l The lumber industry is a very importâ€" ant one, and all good citizens sincerely wish it well. But the settlers are also of great importanceâ€"indeed, of prime importance,â€"to the future of this country, and there should be special consideration for them. The lumberâ€" men have their own association, while the settlers are too separated by locaâ€" tion and occupation to maintain any sort of board organization. They are aiso handicapped by lack of finances. They can maintain no costly lobby forces at either Toronto or Montreal. For these reasons it is incumbent upon the powersâ€"thatâ€"be to make a particuâ€" lar point of watching the interests of the settlers. The Advance would like to feel that the Government always considered itself "in business with the settler, and trying to help him in every wayâ€"as a partner, and not as a watchâ€" dog,"â€"to paraphrase Major Hartt‘s words. The Advance very gladly adâ€" mits that it believes that the present‘ Government of Ontario hags shown more of this spirit than perhaps any | other government the province has ever had. Premier Ferguson has partiâ€" cularly shown himself to be "a friend of the settler and ready to assist him in every way." There have been some recent instances of this goodwill and friendliness. It is a point, however, that may well bear emphasis, for every help to the settler is a direct benefit to the country, and to give the settler a square deal is to build for the future prosperity of this part of Ontario. m mm cesmm mm mm mm ods for encouraging the manufacture of byâ€"products made from wood whereâ€" Iby the manufacturers could turn out ‘\their own substitutes from waste and Enot confine themselves entirely to ‘lumber. This information was availâ€" able to all lumber manufacturers. To return, however, to major Hartt‘s address, the following is the way it is referred to by The Canada Lumberâ€" man, the widelyâ€"recognized organ of the lumber industry of Canada:â€"â€" Major J. I. Hartt, Supperintendent of Crown Timber Agencies for Ontario, gaid that he could speak to the gatherâ€" mg as "fellow lumbermen." He brought regrets that Hon. Wm. Finlayson, Minâ€" ister of Lands and Forests for the proâ€" vince, could not be present "and I am here as a substitute," added the speakâ€" er, who conveyed greetings from Preâ€" mier Ferguson to the delegates from the province of Quebec. The memâ€" bers of che C.L.A. were fully cognizant of the coâ€"operation of the Premier Ferâ€" guson of Ontario and Premier Tasâ€" chereau of Quebec along many lines. "The government of Ontario is in business with you as lumbermen," said Major Hartt, "and trying to assist you in every wayâ€"as partner and not as a watch dog. A few years ago it was not regarded as much credit to be asâ€" sociated with the lumber industry but that day has passed and you are getâ€" ting somewhere and are going to do something for yourselves and the busiâ€" ness which you represent. I can see the signs of progress and you know why you are in thigs trade extension moveâ€" ment in the interest of forest products." Major Hartt went on to explain that so far as waste was concerned the deâ€" partment had drawn up list of methâ€" % Last week three more Canadian minâ€" ing issues were added to the list on the ‘New York Produce exchange, bringâ€" ‘ing the total number traded in up to eleven. The three just added are Viâ€" | pond, Howey and Siscoe. "Ssome think," he added, "that the Iumber business is passing away but that is not so. Last year, in the proâ€" vince of Ontario, was the biggest reâ€" venue and in the quantitiee of wood produced and the government is coâ€" operating with the industry in every way, especially with the legitimate licensed operator but we are not reâ€" cognizing the timber speculator. We are endeavouring to extend the life of the little communities where sawmills operate into the future. We want to build up Canada and as much as posâ€" sible have lumber and its byâ€"products marketed in our own country. I try to visit each one of you lumbermen in Ontario once a year and there is nothing that pleases me more than to see a neat, clean lumbering operation. Of course, there are sloppy ones but I notice great improvement all along the line. The government wants to see you get a proper return for the money you have invested in the industry, and ,1f there is anything that we can do to assist you, we will be only too happy to do so," concluded Major Hartt.
