Bodies Not Yet Recovered. Provincial Police in Charge of Cases, ‘and the last seen of Ultraininen was two hours before. It is presumed that he was thrown cout of the canoe and drowned. No trace has been found of the body, which would be swept down the swollen stream, but Frank Bounâ€" der, manager of the company, states lthat his men will be enzaged on the idriv.e for some time yet and a watch will be kept for the remains. A broâ€" ‘ ther of the victim lives at Monteith. Inspector Moore learned on Monâ€" day from eyeâ€"witnesses of the double tragedy in the Montreal River last Friday, meagre details of which were contained in a message from Silver Centre the following day. Eight men were in a new ppinter which was shooting Bronson‘s Rapids, eight miles | {rom the mouth of the river and above Lower Notch, when the boat struck a rock, was swept by the current ! broadside on to the stream and capâ€" | sized. All its occupants were thrown into the water, and six of them manâ€" aged to reach the boat again, but Vailâ€" | Jlancourt and Laurin were too far away and could not gain the upturned craft. They were observed to be swimming for a time, one of their companions said, but were quickly carried downâ€" stream in the foaming water of the rapids and were not seen again. The river is fairly high, it was stated, and the men were we‘izhted down with | their clothing and boots." | t | 1 In dGdiscussing the recent drownings of men engaged in the lumbering operâ€" ations in this North Land, The Haileyâ€" burian last week says:â€" "The northern rivers continue to tske their toll of human lives. Two accidents in connection with the spring drives now under way in different parts of the district, and involving three men drowned in two rivers, were reâ€" ported to Inspecior W. T. Moore, at movincial police district headquarters over the weekâ€"end. The victims were Uiuino Ultraininen, Finnish by birth, who lost his life in the Grassy River, 35 miles southwest of Timmins, and Emile Laurin and Godfrey Vaillanâ€" court, halfâ€"brothers, swept away by the Montreal River when the pointer in which they had been shooting a rapids was upset after striking a rock. These young men camse from Mashan Mills P.Q. "Uuno Ultraininen, 32 years of age, had been in Canada for the past four years, and he had been working for the Hawk Lake Lumber Co. for 16 days when he was drowned. Constabic Hartlieb, stationed at Timmins, made enquiry, and learned that Uiltraininen apparently had been crossing the GrassyRiver, at a point 400 feet absv> 1 rapids with a sharp fall, in a canoss maintained for that purpose, and aypâ€" parently had been swept down â€"the river and over the falls At the poins where the crossing usually is made the river is stated to be quite calm. UIlâ€" traininen was alone at the time. Three men, fellowâ€"workers on the drive, saw the canoe go over the rapids unocâ€" cupied, and the craft was smashed in the turbulent water. The time then was about six o‘clock in the evening, i Calgary Herald:â€"The Ottawa Citiâ€" | zen declares "it is a serious handicap | fcr young men in this age of liberalâ€" | thinking to be in politics as Conservaâ€" | tives." This is a strange statement in | view of the fact that the Liberals have {just, zrdopted ths Conservative policy to go to the country on. KIERKLAND LAKE WOMAN SENT TO THE REFORMATORY At Haileybury last week sentence of two years less one day was passed by Judge Hartman on Mrs. Teresa Brazâ€" zonia, of Kirkland Lake, convicted by a jury on a charge of performing an illegal operation on Mrs. Quendilino Ziralda, on February 10 last. Mrs. Ziralda died in the Red Cross hospital at Kirkland about 9.30 pm. on March 4, a few hours after she had been adâ€" mitted, and when her condition had become so alarming that Dr. W. C. Rumball., attending her since FPebruary 28, Gisregarded opposition voiced by the accused and ordered the patient to the hospital. The postâ€"mortem had shown death to have besn dus to septiâ€" caemia, and both Dr. Rumball and Dr. M. A. Shipley, who performed the auâ€" topsy, agreed that it had resulted from an illegal operation. In finding the acâ€" cused guilty, the session‘s jury who tried her added "a very strong recomâ€" mendation. to the merecy of the court." Cochrane Magistrate Able to Speak Indian On more than one occasicn ‘Ihe Alâ€" vance has commented on the fact that Magistrate E. R. Tucker, who was forâ€" merly with the Hudson Bay Co., is able to speak several Indian dialects. This talent has been of sphcial service on many ocCasions. One time in Timmins when Magistrate Tucker was taking the court here in place of Magistra‘®s2 Atkinson who was away on a holiday, there was a case in which a wellâ€"known Indian character was making an effort to "put one over on the court." Part of the Indian‘s plan was to pretend to be unable to speak English afnd so to insist upon an interpreter. The maâ€" gistrate gave that Indian the surprise of his life by talking to him in his own tongue. The Indian was so pleased and astounded by the gift of the maâ€" gistrate in the case that he turned in and helped all possible to further the cause of justice and prace. "Familiarity with the Indian tongus has on more than one cccasion in the past brought fame to the court presidâ€" ed over by Magistrate E. R. Tucker, who dispenses justice among His Maâ€" A correspondent at Cochrane give another example last week as follows jesty‘s subjects from the Quebec bounâ€" dary as far west as Hearst and north into the Hudson‘s and James Bay reâ€" gion. Another interesting case, one Of the most unique in the history of the court, occurred this week when Joseph Weesk, a totally uneducated Cree, and by his own admission unable to read or write, appsared before the court on a number of charges, including cne of ‘orgery, and pleaded gulilty. "Weesk, who had been in custody last March, was brought to Cochâ€" raine by Constable Covell of the R.C. M.P. from Attawabiskat, a trading post on the west coast of Hudson Bay. Inr those regions, instead of receiving money for their furs the Indians are given what is known as "dus bills" from the trading companies, signed by the manager, and negotiable for whatâ€" ever amount is stated on the face of the "due bill." As the business of the natives is largely confined to the Hudâ€" son‘s Bay and Revillion Freres trading posts due ‘bills have become common medium of exchange amongst the Inâ€" dians themselves as well as between the Indians and the company. "Realizing the value of one of the due bills, Weesk, who appears 10 have been of somewhat artistic temperaâ€" ment, as well as a rogue, conceived the idea of goirl; into the business of manufacturing "due bills," and made duplications of the Revillion Freres‘ manager‘s signature for _ various amounts.. Most of them he was sucâ€" cessful in passing, one of his victims being the local priest for $25. He was detected when he attempted to pass one of the spurious bills in exchanrge for goods at the store whose manaâ€" ger‘s name he had forged. At first he denied making the copy, but later adâ€" mitted the guilt. â€"â€" "A lengthy conversation exasued ‘beâ€" tween Magistrate Tucker and the prisoner, whom the Magistrate exâ€" mjlained afterwards, seemed to have been mentality and understocd clearly the seriousness of the situation. When pressed for a reason for his his only reply was "Buckety," which in English means "Hungry." Several other misdemeanors appeared against Weesk on the crime sheet and a three months‘ sentence was imposed." Acton Free Press:â€"No accidents reâ€" ported and no fire alarms sounded in Acton on the twentyâ€"fourth may be in part accounted for in the byâ€"law prohibiting fireworks in town. There were those who disobeyed, of course, but the supply was limited, and had to be brought in from outside points.

Some years ago a campaign was carried on to this effect, R. T. Shillington being suggested for a place as Senater from the North. Later on, with a change of Government at Ottawa, The Advance heartily supported the idea of appr>intâ€" ing L. V. O‘Connor, of Sudbury, to a place then vacant in the Senate. More recently The Advance has urged the appointment of Dr. J. A. McInnis, of Timmins, to a place in the Senate of Canada. In connection with this latâ€" ter sugzestion it may be noted that some of the Liberal workers, even in the North, have urged that such an appointment would be of no value to the North and that anyway the Senate should be done away with as an unâ€" necessary institution. The Advance did not agree with these ideas, believâ€" inz the Senate to be a useful body, many helpful measures ocriginating in that chamber, and fesling that the North Land, which is not fully repreâ€" sented in the House of Commons, conâ€" sidering extent of the area and the should certainly be repreâ€" sented in the Upper House of the Govâ€" In this connection it is inâ€" teresting to note the resolution passes at the convention that nominated Col. Mac Lang as Liberal candidate last week for the riding of South Temisâ€" kaming. The despatches from New Liskeard last week give the following report of this part of the pricecedings: "Iwo motions were adopted at the | convention by unanimous vote. Thel first, moved by A. D. Campbell, Gow-l sanda, and seconded by A. F. McDonâ€" | ald, Charleton, voiced appreciation of ! Col. Lang‘s work, administration ofi Prime Minister Mackenzie King and endorsed his ptolicy, as expressed byi the Dunning budget. The octher, sponâ€" sored by Mr. O‘Grady and W. A. Tayâ€" lor, New Liskeard. urged representaâ€". tion in the Senate of Canada for Norâ€" thern Ontario, whose 200,000 people were "justly entitled" to a member in that body, the motion stated. Copies of this motion were to be sent to the Prime Minister, Col. Lang and Mr. Heenan, and also to all the other Liberal conventions in Northern Onâ€" tario, who are to be asked to adopt similar motions. Mr. Bradette, in a passing reference to this motion, deâ€" clared he favoured it. declared thet _had been working on it at Ottawa, _and that the principle had been esâ€" tablished and recognized by Mr. King ~But for the appointment of the first woman to the Senate, Mr. Bradetts said, the North would have been reâ€" cognized." YOUNG LADY ISSUES HERK OWN MARRIAGE LICENSE in Windsor since she has issued her own marriage license. She is a clerk in the Windsor city hall staff and has charge of the licenses. Miss Edith Whitfield holds a unique place among the June bridesâ€"toâ€"be When William McMullin, city enâ€" gineer, of Sudbury, former resident 0: Windsor, called to secure a permit, she was on duty. Without any outward sign of. concern she asked the usual auestions and filled in the blanks. Only when it came to administerinr the oath did she call for the assistance of Miss Martha Dickinson, city clerk. Miss Whitfield and Mr. McMullin are to marry on June 16 and will make their home in Sudbury. It may be added to this interesting item that in Timmins some months ago a marriage license was issued unâ€" der somewhat similar circumstances, one of the contracting parties issuing the license. DRAW MADE FOR THE BOXER CUP SERIES OF MATGHES Mecting of the Local Committee of the N.O.F.A. on Saturday. Many Matters up for Discussion. Dates for Boxer Cup Series to be Announced Later. The mosting held on Saturday of the local committee of the N.O.F.A. made plans for the playing of games for the Boxer Cup series. Delegates present were P. Andrews, Dome; C. Thomson, §.0.E.; A. Odgers, Cornish; F. Bennett, McIntyre; Past President W, F. Morâ€" gan, Secretary, E. Finchen and Viceâ€" President .W. A. Devine who occupied the chair. The case of G. Cooper was dealt with The report of the game from Referee Cadman showed .that Cooper spoke back to him after being warned. The offence was not serious enough to susâ€" pend the player, but warning was ordered sent to the club and player. The meeting also felt that it was perâ€" fectly‘ in order for a player against whom a foul was given to ask the referee what it was given for, if in doubt. Referees fees came up for discussion and it was decided on motion that fees be $2.50 for all league games and $4.00 for finals of league cup gameS also the same for games under the N. O F. A. The delegates present were of opinion that the players were playing the game for the love of sport and that the referees should come into line in justice to the teams. The matter of financing trips to play the Lake Shore at Kirkland Lake came. up for discussion as a letter had been received from that club asking to be added in to a straight knockâ€"out with the teams in the district. Formerly the Lake Shore were given a bye. After some interesting discussion in which all teams joined it was decided to hold up the Bryne Trophy till June 30, and play the Boxer Cup series here. All teans had entered and to secure finances, home and home games were ordered in all games, the local league to take the final gates and in the event of a draw, the contesting teams to split 50â€"50. Mcintyre, S.0.E. and Cornish thought by that time they could finance the trip, if it happened they were drawn away to Kirkland Lake. A ruling re transfers was passed and was in effect, "That no player be alâ€" lowed to transfer in the local league after having played three games with his original club." This ruling is to apply to league games only. As a force for the betterment of a community and of arousing civic pride, an organization such as the Kiwanis has great possibilities, with the weekly lunsheon meeting where each business and professional man of the communiâ€" ty comes in contact with his neighbour. Frequently cne hears the complaint that there are too many cliques in Cochrane, or that this clique is doing something they should not, or that clique is not doing something they should. Just such internal civic strife as this caused the downfall of the model cities of ancient Greece, and the modern town, particularly a town sitâ€" uated as we are, cannot hope to proâ€" gress unless all are working together for the betterment of the town. The meeting was carried through in very effective way and closed after much business had been transacted in:â€"record time. After giving careful consideration to the outline of the aims and work of the Kirwanis as given by Ralph Taylor on Wednesday evening, we have arrived at the conclusion that there is both need and room for such an organizaâ€" tion in Cochrane. It would not conâ€" fiict in any way with existing organizaâ€" tions, and might, in fact, prove a help to some, as has been the case in more than one town. The modern trend of business is toâ€" ward friendly relations between busiâ€" ness comprtitors, a trend which has a lo§f to do with the material progress of the cities and particularly of numerâ€" ous small towns across the border in the United States. The draw for the Boxer Cup resulted as follows: MciIintyre vs. S.0.E. Dome vs. Cornish Dates will be announced in The Adâ€" vance in the near future. The proposal to start a Kiwanis in Cochrane is worthy of the most careâ€" ful consideration. In the best interâ€" ests of the town, we hope it succeeds. 00000000 6046000900 * SAYS COCHRANE WOULD BE BETTER FOR KIWANIS CLUE (From The Cochrane Northland P \ _Geo. C.
