"I did not steal it. Why should 1 plead guilty to that?" he told the maâ€" gistrate at the trial. On a charge of shooting partridge in the closed seaâ€" son he was fined $10 or one month in jail, and on the second charge of trapâ€" ping beaver, was ordered to pay a fine of $20 or one month in jail. (Fort William Titmesâ€"Jounal) Nature did not always wrap up her gold in big packages, and there is no good reason why a rich vein, although too small to warrant a mill with a capacity of a thousand tons a day, should have to remain unworked and never yield up its riches, just because it is not likely to repay an investment of millions. If it can be made to pay good returns on an investment of thirty thousand dollars, there is every reason why those who own it should work it on a small scale, turning out, say, $500 a day with a 50â€"ton mill. Unable to bear the costs of an apâ€" peal to the Appellate Division, Bomâ€" bard asked aid of the Department of Indian Affairs at Ottawa. After conâ€" sideration of all the facts of the case. the department agreed to pay all exâ€" penses connected with the appeal and appointed M. F. Ludwig, K.C., to 2t as his counsel. Edward Bayly, K.C., Deputy Attorâ€" neyâ€"General, will likely act for the province.

Under the heading, "Slash Fires at Mileage 88 and 103 Destrov Ten Settlers‘ Homes," The Northern Tribune says:â€" "Slash fires on settlers‘ clearings at mileage 88 and mileage 103 west of Cochrane, carried beyond bounds by sudden fiuky high winds, burned out a total of about ten families at these two settlements on Tuesday. In this area, so far in the season, there has been no fire in the forest proper. "Slash," as most of our readers know, is an accumulation of trimmed branches of trees felled in lumbering and pulwood cutting operations. Withâ€" in the last year or two the regulations of the Department of Lands and Forâ€" ests specify, when permits to cut standing timber are granted, that all slash and other accumulations of inâ€" flammable forest material must be pilâ€" eqd in windrows, ready for spring or early summer burning under the perâ€" mit and supervision of a government fire ranger. slash piles have grown larger and more numerous because they could not be burned. Indeed, when one or two unâ€" successful attempts have been made to burn them, the remnant left has become if anything more of a "hazard" than it was before. The dead slash has no sap in it, and in the piled winâ€" drows it dries out much quicker than the floor of the green forest. That is why a slash pile, after a few warm days, may be a dangerous proposition while the growing timber could not be made to burn. We are told, and can readily believe, that thus far there has been no fire menace in the forests of the Kapuskasing district. Last week there were a great many stories current in regard to the fires along the Transcontinental Railway. On Friday afternoon there was a story told at Porgquis Junction that forest fires had done considerable damage at Hearst. As a matter of fact there were no bush fires near Hearst at all, nor was there even the sign of smoke from the nearby bush during the weekâ€" end. The story about the fires near Hearst no doubt originated from the fact that a number of settlers at Mileâ€" age 88 and Mileage 103 west of Cochâ€" rane were burned out by forest fires. The fact that the reports about Hearst mentioned families as fleeing into the town to escape ‘the fires would suggest that the false report was simply a mixâ€" up that grew from the truth elsewhere. "The situation in the Kapuskasing district this year is that on account of several wet seasons in succession, these "To the uninitiated, a sizable slash fire is a portentious blaze. The flames mount high and bumm fiercely in the very «@ry sm@all branches, the smoke billows aloft, the limbs sputter and crackle ominously. But when a slash fire is set under the right weathâ€" er conditions and with alert suprrvisâ€" ion, its quick fury is soon impotent. By nightfall it is a feebly smouldering heap of flickering embersâ€" and anâ€" other hazard is crossed off the books. "The ideal and safest way to burn slash piles would be, perhaps, for the entire force of fire rangers to concenâ€" trate on burning every possible pile of slash on days when wind and weather conditions are just right for the purâ€" pose. Such days are few cnough in the season. Once they are safely out of way, reduced to ashes, the settler is safer, he has more land to cultivate, and the fire ranging service can breathe easier and direct its energies elsewhere, before the onset of real "fire weather." It would be infinitely cheaper for the province in the long run, and safer for the community, to have this done than to issue large numbers of burning permits to settlers in dry weather, to set more fires than the ranging staff can prossibly superâ€" vise with assurance of controlling them. BUSH FIRE DAMAGE iX THE KAPUSKASINE Slash Fires at Mileage 88 and Milerge 103 on the Canadian National Reâ€" sult in the Loss of Ten Settlers‘ Homes Last Week. ‘"Mileage 103 is a Mennsnite settleâ€" ment. Word reaching Kapuskasing is to the effect that one of the settlers there set out a fire in slash without ranger‘s permit; and he beat it when he saw his house menaced and the fire spreading. He is now being sought, it is said, and will be brought to book, for he is responsible for the destrucâ€" tion of his neighbours‘ properties. R. Forget had his store burned, toâ€" gether with some sets of harness and other possessions; other relatives living near at hand in unpretentious log caâ€" bins saw them go ‘up in smoke also. "At Mileage 88, near Opasatika, the edge of the Spruce Falls Co.‘s limits, "In the Port Arthur and Sioux Lookâ€" cut regions the fires have been of largâ€" er proportions, and manyâ€"alarmist reâ€" ports appeared in the daily press. But rain and some strenuous forestry serâ€" vice fireâ€"fighting have subdued them. Such a usually conservative paper as the Toronto Globe carried a frontâ€" crage scareâ€"head on Tuesday, "Homeâ€" steaders who "fied in terror" are back Bush Fires," followed underneath by "Whole Countryside is Ablaze." Not a thousandth part of the Northern counâ€" tryside was @blaze, and the chances are that the few homesteaders who "fled in terror" are back on their holdings hewing new logs and driving nails in new houses, secretly pleased if they have only paid the price of a log Mr. Forget came to Kapuskasing and arranged for the immediate reâ€"buildâ€" ing of his store. (From The Huntingdon Gleaner) High above the dome of St. Paul‘s Cathedral stand the huge cross and ball known to many generations of Londoners. They have just been covâ€" ered for the first time for many years with a coating of pure gold. The gold is beaten down into leaves of almost incredible thinness, which are mountet upon transfer puaper, Each leaf is 3} inches in length . During the proâ€" cess of regilding, the copper surface of the cross and ball was first treafted with gold size. The leaves were then rubbed on, and when the gold has stuck to the size the paper was peeled off. No fewer than 30,000 leaves of pure gold were required for the task. Owing to the great height the cross does not look large from the ground, though actually the arms are each 11 feet long and 3 feet in width. MEMEBERS OF DEPARTMENT sHOULD VISIT THE NORTH (From The Northland Post) It is encouraging to meet ‘an offiâ€" clal of the Department of Lands and Forests such as Deputy Minister L. V. Rorke, and find him so thoroughly conversant with conditions in the North. Mr. Rorke has traveled over the most of this part of the province and knows first hand the conditions which exist here. Were the other officials of the department equally well posted on cur needs, it will be a big step forward for the North,. The Minâ€" ister in charge of the detrar#tment, Hon. William Finlayson is very much in earnest in his desire to do the best for us here, and while we may have disagreed with him on certain points, in the past, we have realized that he wished to do the best for us. With a staff ‘of officials under him, who were possessed of a working knowledge of Northern conditions and needs, our troubles would be largely overcoms, and such fantastic regulations as the eighâ€" ty acre farms would never have been inflicted upon us. As a means to enâ€" lightening the various higher officials of the Department of Lands and Forâ€" ests, we would humbly suggest that Mr. Finlayson would send at least one of them North for about two months each year until each one is sufficiently posted on our requirements. RENOVATION LAST WEEK ST. PAUL‘S CATHEDRAL At Sudbury last week after examinâ€" ing witnesses and deliberating for three hours or so, the grand jury of the District Court sitting at Sudbury returned four true bills of indictment against J. H. McKinnon and one true bill against Cleveland McKinnon, on charges arising from the fire marshal‘s investigations into the fire, which deâ€" stroyed the warehouse of the accused, trading as D. L. McKinnon and Sons, last November. The charges against J. H. McKinnon are perjury, conspirâ€" acy with J. E. Lamoureux to defraud insurance companies of $5,000 and upâ€" wards, conspiracy with Cleveland Mcâ€" kinnon to defraud insurance companies of $96,000 and of false pretences in atâ€" tempting to obtain $96,000 from insurâ€" ance companies.. The charge against Cleveland McKinnon is of conspiracy with J. H. McKinnon to defraud insurâ€" ance companies of $96,000. Murray Mulligan, â€"acting for the accused, reâ€" newed a previous application that the trial would be adjourned to the next sittings of the court E. D. Wilkins, of Sudbury and A. C. Browne, of Haileyâ€" bury, acting for the crown, agreed to the request. Bail of $20,000 personal bond and three sureties of $5,000 each for J. H. McKinnon and a personal bond of $10,000 and one surety of $5,â€" 000 for Cleveland McKinnon will be renewed, CASES AGAINST SUDBURY MEN GO QOVER TO NEXT COURT Stanley Maldovan, of Kirkland Lake, was tried at Haileybury District Court last week on the charge of exploding a quantity of dynamite under the house of a neighbour with whom he had had trouble. The jury found Maldovan guilty and he was given the stern senâ€" tence of seven years in the penitentiary. The evidence went to show that there were several people in the house at the time the explosion took place and but for the fact that the force of the exâ€" plosion went down instead of up there would no doubt have been several lives lost. Maldovan had been a boarder at the house but had been put out and according to the evidence had threatâ€" ened to blow up the whole house and the family. GIVEN SEVEN YEARS FOR DYNAMITING RESIDENCE At the same court there was a charge that Charlie Chow, of Kirkland Lake, had assua‘lted W. B. Nicholson by hitâ€" ting him over,the head with an iron cuspidor. Chow could not be located and it is said he is now in the United States. A bench warrant was issued for his arrest. On account of the abâ€" sence of one of the Crown witnesses a had assaulted W. B. Nicholson by hitâ€" traversed to a later sitting of the court. Judge Hartman presided at the court. cabin to remove the worst of the fire menace from the shadow of their doorâ€" steps." Timimins Boys‘ Athietic Association DEATH OF SUDBURY MINER CAUSED BY GAS POISONING Reference was made a week or two ago to the death of Mike Vuletich at the Frood Mine recently, mention beâ€" ing made of the fact that there was question as to whether the death was caused by gas poisoning or from other cause. To settle the matter it was deâ€" cided to hold an inquest. This action was proceeded with and though there were some indications that the death was not due to any wrongful dction on the part of anyone concerned. A deâ€" spatch from Cobalt last week says:â€" "That death was due to gasâ€"poisoning was the verdict rendered by Coroner Henry at the inquest held here today into the cireumstances of the death of Mike Vuletich, machine runner at the Frood Mine, who expired on May 22 while at work in No. 20.2 fill raise on the 2,400â€"foot level. During the inâ€" quest a telegram arrived from Toronto, where blood had been sent for examinâ€" ation, saying that death was due to carbonâ€"monoxide poisoning, although the testimony of Dr. Lively and Dr. McLzsan was that in this case several of the usual symptoms of carbonâ€"monâ€" oxide poisoning had been lacking." Recently while attempt:ing to fix a window blind at her home Mrs. D. Kerâ€" rigan, of Englehart, had the misforâ€" tune to fall from the chair. on which she was standing and fracture her wrist. ‘glflllllll E SELL FOR LESS WH Y PAY MOPRE?
