The following sentences from the report will also be of special interest:| "It is estimated that about 5 per cent.. of the marketable hay in Quebec is already sold. The supply in Eastern Ontario (in Prescott, Russell and Carleton main production counties) is reported much depleted ailso, due to exports overseas and shipments to lumâ€" ber and mining interests in the north. Shipments to these same interests are reported from the New Liskeard and Englehart districts of Northern Onâ€" tario. Large quantitiese of hay from Dryden and other northern districts are reported to have been shipped to Winnipeg during October, and further large shipments are expected there from the east this month."

Last year, however, White River lost its standing as the coldest spot in the province, being nosed out by Homg-‘ payne. Last week, however, Horneâ€". payne was in turn thrown from its suâ€". premacy and White River once more took the crown or the cake for being the best iced town there is in this North Land. Of course, Moose Factory does not enter into the competition but then the folks at Moose Factory and other Hudson Bay centres seem to suggest that in their protected valley they have a sort of California climate except that they are not doused unduly by rain and they do have little bracâ€" ing cold air in the winter time to give \ the germs rheumatics and thus increase | healthfulness. In regard to the temperatures last week in this North Land, the rallways furnish table which shows the deâ€" grees of cold below zero as follows:â€" Below zero North Bay Sudbury Cartier ... Port Arthur Allandale Hornepayne Capreol Cochrane . Timmins _ Monteith ... Swastika Englehart ... New Liskeard Temagami ... White River . Britt It will be noted that White River is the coldest, with Britt a close second, and Hornepayne chilled out of the runâ€" ning for high place. North Bay is much warmer than Sudbury, though the Nickel Town thinks it‘s pretty warm. SBault Ste. Marie, not listed above, is elsewhere reported as 10 beâ€" low zero. Rouyn, New Liskeard, Enâ€" glehart and Temagami are all comâ€" paratively warm, while Timmins as usual, is taking a very moderate line, the thermometer here registering only ten below. At that, Timmins felt it was cold enough last week to suit any but the most unreasonable. Even the latter will likely be suited before the winter is over. Sudbury Star:â€""It might seem, first blush," says om»> commentator, "that women are going back to more! modest styles." It might seem co at| first blush indeed, but when, if ever,| is the first blush? c I Toronto, Ontario THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO FATHEUL DOG STAYS WITH DVING MASTER JN SHACK Tim Fletcher, Oldâ€"Timer of the North, Lies and Helpless for Days in Shack. Dog Tries to Keep Him Warm. Despatches last week from Cobalt told of another touching example of the faithfulness of a man‘s dog. Men | coming to Cobalt last Thursday from | Gowganda brought news of the sa.d' fate that overtsok Jim Fletcher, an‘ oldâ€"timer of the Northern mlning% camps. He died in his little cabin at. the Haultain mine, some 13 hours after| Haro‘d Parker, trapper, had discovered | his unconscious form, racked by pneuâ€"| monia, stretched on the bed. The only heat that kept going the fitful spark of | life was that generated by his faithful; dog, which was lying across the ons blanket that covered the stricken frame. Parker gave temporary relief to the 57 year old veteran of the Cobalt and Gcwganda boom days, and hastened to t,ho nearest telephone to summon Dr. G. R. Crann, at Gowganda, eight miles away. The doctor responded immediâ€" labely, accompanied by Dr. Daniel Helâ€" lens, of the Castle Tretheway Mine, ‘ formerly of North Cobalt. Hellens and \Parker remained with Fletcher after Dr. Crann‘had attended him but within a few hours the un‘fortunate man passâ€" | ed away. Although his plight was nost discovyâ€" ered until about two o‘clock on Tuesâ€" day afternoon, it is believed Fletcher had been seriously ill and unable to help "himself for folur days. â€" Parker. returning from his camps and passing through the Haultain property, noted no fresh tracks were visible in the snow the last fall of which had been reportâ€" ed toward the end of the week. Lookâ€" ing through the cabin window, he saw the stricken man lyinz on the bed, his sole companion, a shaggy sheep dog named "Boxer‘ stretched across his master‘s body. Fletcher‘s eyes were cpen, but there was nmo apparent moveâ€" ment. The stovepipes had fallen down, a ladder in the room suggesting that its cecupant had made some effort to set them un again. There was no fireâ€" wood in the place, and most cf the bedclothes had rolled on the floor, Fletcher being too weak to retrieve them. The door of the cabin was closed from the inside, but Parker forced an entrance, set up the pipes, started A fire and made tea, which he fed by spoonfuls to ths unconscious man. Leaving Fle‘cher ‘as comfortable Ss cireumstances permitted, Parker went o the home of John Henderson at the wWigwam, a mile away, and from there telephoned Dr. Crann. The doâ€"tor and Hellen; reached the Haultain at five o‘clock, and when the former returned hnome after giving what assistance was possible, Parker and Hoellens remained in the. cabin. The latie Mr. Plelcher was born in 1872 at Point Levis, and came to the | Louisville (Kentucky) Times:â€" ‘‘Twenty years hence the hardy pionâ€" eer of 1929 may be telling his graniâ€" {children about the morning he was compelled to walk five blocks from a parking place to his office. North country 25 years ago. He was employed at the Tretheway mine when he first arrived in Cobalt, and in 1907, with his brotherâ€"inâ€"law, Mr. Plaunt, went into the Gowganda district, they beinz the first prospeciors in that secâ€" tion. He enlisted with 228th Battalion for cverseas service. On ‘his réturn from Europs he went back into Gowâ€" ganda. For the past three years ho had bezn caretaker at the Haultain. His wife died ten years ago. Two sons, Angus and Herbert, both presently at Amos, survive. j ENGLEHART WOMAN SHOT IN THE KNEE LAST WEEK The Northern News last week says: "Mrs. Velma Thompâ€"on, of Englehart, was brought to the Kirkland Lake Disâ€" trict Hcspital on Tuesday afternoon suffering with a gunrshct in one of hner knees. An exâ€"ray showed that a .22 caliber rifle bullet is lodged in i‘h> thish bone close to the knee jcint. Details of how the bullet gOt there are not available but it is underâ€" stood that ths shot was fired accidenâ€" tally while a member of Mrs. Thompâ€" son‘s family was cleaning a rifle. Dr. F. H. Wilson was called and after exâ€" amination decided than an exâ€"ray picâ€" ture was necessary to locate the bulâ€" leit." ' ] Â¥ The Ottawa Journal on Saturday last says:â€""The death occurred yesterday morning at her residence at 14 Norâ€" folk avenue, of Mrs. Bernard Brennan, who had resided in Ottawa for 20 years. She had been ill for a week. Mrs. Bronâ€" nan was formerly Miss Annie McEvoy and was born at Osgoode 77 years ago. Her husband predeceased her 13 years ago.

BELIEVES THERE WILL BF RIGH FINDS IN H. A. Preston Advises All to Look for a Crater he Believes was Made by Earthquake in 19826 in This Area. This week The Advance has receivâ€" ed the following letter from H. A. Presâ€" ton, oldâ€"time prospector of the North, in regard to the Bartlett area. Mr. Preston‘s letters are always interesting and this one is particularly so. Matheson, Ont., Dec. 1st, 1929 Porcupine Agvance. Timmins, Ont., Dear Sir:â€"Having read in the paper about a find of copper and iron in Bartlett township, south of Timmins, my hopes are that it turns out to be a big thing. It states that good showâ€" ings are on Geo. Bannerman‘s claims. George sure is the man who started the rush to Porcupine, because there was only himself, myself and five others in and around Porcupine throughout the summer of 1909. I wish to say that I have property about 16 miles southâ€" east of Bartlett, and there also is a lot of copper and iron showings and I preâ€" dict some day there is going to be a mining town down south of Porcupine. I am positive that someone is also goâ€" ing to find the spot where that terrific explosion took place or that meteor | fell on August 3rd, 1926, when I was at Matachewan. On that date around 10.30 at night there was a terrific roar like thunder and it lasted quite a few \ \ ! | | | seconds, and the ground shook terribly, fifteen or twenty seconds after that I could hear imountains of rock falling | underneath me in the same direction, ‘and I felt the jar from them. I am | sure they were falling three or four ]hundred yards. It seems to me that | where it took place is south of Bartâ€" lett or southwest of there. I will never ‘forget, it as long as I live, and I have lthe oldest man in those parts to back me, and that is Steve Lafrician, who has lived at Matachewan for 65 years. iI also have several others who heard | it and felt it and were afraid as much ;as I was. I have done a lot of talking iabout it, but my reasons for now writâ€" \ ing you again about it is to tell all the !boys who may be down south of Bartâ€" |lett to keep their eyes open and look and then when it got still again it was good for I am sure there must be a big opening or crater there where it hapâ€" pened. If anyone finds it, there is likely to be something good there. And before closing I want to say that if I am alive when it is discovered I am #oing to present the finder with a $10.00 pipe and tobacco, if he smokes. This spot is worth looking for, and any planes filying over these parts should look down and try to locate it. Yours truly, Up in Sarnia, Ontario, the polics magistrate had a knotty case before him. A man was arrested and brought before the court on a charge of being imtoxicated while in charge of an autoâ€" mobile. The defence did not labour cn uilding up a case of sobriety. It listâ€" ened politely to the evidence of the officer who made the arrest; the officer declaring that he watched the man tryâ€" ing to start the car and that his actions bespoke an intoxicated condition. When the Crown was done the defence moved for dismissal on the ground that i TOMOBILE NOT AN AUTO WHENXN IT HAsS NO GASOLINE as there was no gasoline in the tank, there was no means of mechahical loâ€" comotion, therefore, the autemoblle was not an automobile as defined by the criminal code. Aftsr some thought Magistrate decided he was rign: and dismissed the case.
