The next morning Hill was brought to the police station on the orâ€" der of Reeve Hunt in regard to certain seditious statements made in the course of his speech. When confronted with the statements, Hill denied them or was evasive in answering. Such stateâ€" ments containing the words ‘"overâ€" throw," "civil war," "seizing prwroperty‘ in the manner used by Hill were highâ€" ly seditious, said Mr. Hunt.

Communist songs were attempied by odd sections "The May Day Gemonstration in Kirkland Lake by the Communist orâ€" ganizations passed off without any unâ€" toward event. At six o‘clock crowds began to assemble at the corner of Duncan Avenue and Government Road and it was estimated at one time close to two thouand people had gathered.

O. exâ€" pect to build at Moose Factory, Mr. Lee said that nothing detinite could be givâ€" en out as yet, but he would prcbably have a statement to make concerning his project scme time about May 24. In his interview last week Mr. Leo said that four steel spans on the mamâ€" moth bridge that will cross the Mocosse River were now in place. Other sns will be placed at the rate of four each seven days, and by June 8 trains will be crossing ‘the big river. The laying of steel will follow immediately after the bridge is completed and it is exâ€" pedted that the rails will be laid to Mcose Factory within the time of the criginal August 15. Thirteen extra gangs are now at work alcng the T. N. O. and most of these will be kept working all summer, There is no deyrression along the line of the T. N. O.., Mr. Lee stated, and there would be no unemployment but for the very large influex of unemplcyed from east, west and south, the chairman stated. He had just returned from an inspecticn trip covering the entire road _ _An in‘terview given to the press at North Bay by Geo. W. Lse, cha‘rman of the T. N. O. Railway, suggecsts that everything is all right witiy the North Land, were it no: for the rush here of unemployed. If this country had only its own people to look after, or even a reascnable amount of unemployed from all over the rest cf the globe, things would be pretty good here. As it is, however, the country is in serious danâ€" ger of being fairly swamped by the rush here of unemployed. â€" It is a fact that the transients are reaching Timmins at unprecedented rate. One day last week thirtyâ€"five came in on the one train, and not one of them paid any fare, so even the T. N. O. did not profit any.. It is well ‘bo particularly note that while the North has come through the depressicon in p‘retty good condition, un‘ess the influx of unemâ€" ployed is stayed there will ba sericus injury to the country. There is not enough work for the pecple already here. All coming in herz either are a burden directly to themselves and to the town, or they take the work that would otherwise go to citizens already here who nsed the work as badly as anyone. There must be somecne tellâ€" ing the unfortunates that the North is a good place ‘to come, for the un>mâ€" ployed are certainly heading this way in numberg It is too bad! There is no work here for any from outsideâ€" there is not enough work in for those already here. This face can not be overestimated. The overwhelming support of the Government‘s Conversicn Lean will adâ€" vertise to the world at large the faith of Canadians in Canada and the econâ€" omic solidity cf the country at large. Bridge Over Moose Ready by June 8th Interview with Geo. W. Lee, Chairms of the T. N. O., Shows North in Good Shapc, Except for Rush of Unemp‘oyed. Government bonds represent our primary security. We have nc:hing finer to offer. The public has grown weary with speculasion. It is now sesking safe haven for its investment funds. No other medium has more proven attraction. Thrcughout this era of security deflation, governmen‘ bonds have stcood forth a tower of strength. The Government will secure no new money through this conversion proâ€" gram. It is a straight exchange of seâ€" curities. Investors should weleccme this unique Oopportunity. Ordinarily, the replacement of funds received from maturing investments is an operation of concern and expiznse. All this is elâ€" iminated, and inventors can consclidate their position for another twentyâ€"five years without effort on their part. o show to the world at largse that Canâ€" adians have confidence in Canada, anc that the Dominion‘s high credit rating ranks highest with her people. Such a gesture of confidence and financial vitality has an econcmic implicaticn of far reaching influence. _ The Governmert has arranged an equitable bargain with investigators. In exchange for shortâ€"term war and victory loan maturities is cffered a wentyâ€"five year government cbligation carrying a ccupon rate of .4) cont. The present status of the holders of being placed will remain unimpaired during the short span of life remaining for thase maturities. The operaticn, however, has a desper significance than mere investment opâ€" portunity. It has a patrictic appsal, no less vital than existed in war time, _ Premier Bennett has adopted a very practical and logical expedient for solâ€" ving the pwoblem cof repaying the huge total of war and viciory loans that mature before the end of 1934. A new loan of long term is being issued, and holders of maturing loans are beoin granted the opportunity of converting into the new loan on terms advantageâ€" ous to themselves. The principle of the Conversion Loan is not new. It has been successfully applied by both the governments of the United States and Great Britain. A total of $1,082,000,000 of Canadian war and victory loans mature within the next three and oneâ€"half years, the greater part falling due in 1933 and 1934. | Conversion Loan is Advantageous Plan Gives Good Investment Opportunity and has Also a Patriotic Appea!. Showing that Canadians have Confidence in Canads. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO "Of all odd sights the spzrctacle of sawn and dressed lumber being carted into the middle of a forest reserve for the purpose of erecting prospecting shacks is probably the quegrest,. Yet, ‘"‘Trees, trees, everywhereâ€"but not one to build log cabins with. Protest is made by Thse Northern Miner against the idea of importing rough lumber into the Matachewan area while there is so much lumber "on the hcof", as it were, available in the area itself. It does look like an odd affair. The editorial in The Northern Miner deals with the question as folâ€" lows:â€" and found everything in first class conâ€" dition and there was not a thing beâ€" tween North Bay and Cochrane ito worry about. The nonth is booming, but there are so many rushing to the north in search of work that there are no positions opén at the present time. Productive mining, Mr. Lee said, was never better in Northern Ontario. "It would do you good to see Kirkland Lake, Timmins, Rouyn and other minâ€" ing centres," he said. Asked with reâ€" ference to the Matchewan district, the chairman staited that his engineers were watching developments there closely, and were in close touch with the situation. Importing Lumber Into the Matachewan Area ol a fresh and vigorous prosperâ€" ity. And General Motors pays to Canadian achievement with "Canada on Parade", an all â€" Canadian radio hour every FriGay evening. We invite you to listen in. Canadians everywhere are strik. ing forward on the rising tide rOI' WALY J GauaJa } Over the hills and far away. .. ‘"There is a lot of room for mc:deornizâ€" ation of some of the regulations dealing with timber in Northern Ontario. They were probably alright 25 or 30 years ago, when there were few mining operâ€" ations up north, but they do not fit inâ€" to toâ€"day‘s scheme of things. A good deal more than half of the tinber purâ€" chases of the northern mines are made in Britisth Columbia. For seme of the mine uses only B.C. fir is desirable, but that Ontario lumbermen might as well cut. The mines cannot be blamed for the situation: they are forced to buy in the cheapest markets. The situaiion is worth looking into, perhar!; scme changes would be found advisable." CH EV ROLET SX Yours, too, can be the joy of swift, restâ€" ful travel wherever need or fancy carries you.

It costs so little when you buy, and while you drive it. this is what you see in the new townâ€" ships, north and west of Elk Lake in the Temagami Forest Réserve, that have recently become the scene of gold rrospecting activities, It is actually cheaper to buy lumber and haul it miles through the bush than it is to cut down trees, right on the spo: and pay the high stumpage tax that is being collectâ€" ed. The charge is $14.50 per thousand feet in the standing tree. It does seom that the Department of Lands and Forests should be able to arrange some better terms between the Booths, who own these limits, and mining people. It is ridiculous that mining comp/lin‘es should have to drag lumber through the woods, when log cabins made on the ground would quite adequately serve their purpose.
