"Special prize of another slice of blueberry ye to the boy who whistles first," he called. The air was soon alive with boyish whistles. Ottawa people may rave over apple pie, deep or shallow, but they have lived in vain and without the joy of life if they have never known real honestâ€"toâ€"goodness North Land blueberry pie. A French chef deciares his best dishes are inspired by music. This temp:s The Barrie Examiner to exglaim that jJazz ought to inst(re a wonderful new kind of hash. Not so, jazz was résponsible only for the hot dog and applesauce. "The End of a Perfect Duy" no doubt suggested blueberry pie. GRAVEL AND SANDâ€"AND PLACER Timmins, Ont., Thursday, July 30th, 1931 Northwestern Ontaric is anxious to organize an unofficial legislature for all of Northern Ontario. So far as The Advance can learn Cochrans is doing nothing to bring to punishment the ccntemptible thugs reâ€" sponsible for the serious injury inflicted on Provincial Conâ€" stable Ralph Crozier at Cochrane some weeks ago. The provincial police are doing as much as Cochrane in the mater. This situation is no credit to either the town of Cochrane or the province of Ontario. If officers of the law in the courteous and kindly discharge of their duties are to be the target for any cowardly sneak inclined to evil, and nothing is to be done about it, it is high time that lawâ€"abidâ€" ing people asserted themselves. Constable Crozier suffered a fracture of the skull from a missile, thrown at him, by someâ€" one standing behind him. The extent of the seriousness of the injury to the officer is not known. It is known that he is far from recovered and it has been necessary for him to go south to his home for a pericd of rest. If necessary, the local and provincial police at Cochrane should round up hundreds of the men known to be in the mcb attacking the officer. For this purpecse aid could easily be secured from re:urned soldiers and ctheor lcyal pecple. The thugs guilty of the senseless crime shou‘ld be caught and punished, rno matter what the cost or the trouble. The agitators really behind the cowardly assault should also be taught the lesâ€" son that law and order are observed in Canada or punishâ€" ment is meted out even if the offenders be alien ingrates. A local politician ncted for his pessimism in regard to others and his op:imism in respect to himself is understood to have forwarded to a certain Senator at Ottawa a list of the places where the said local citizen would like to spend his summer vacation this year, together with a detailed account of the hotels thas might be stopped at, provided the Beauâ€" harncois power company would meet the bills. As a postscript to the letter of apmplication and supplication, the local citiâ€" zen writes:â€""If the above is not satisfactory, I will be glad to stay at home and take the cash. But don‘t send it by Mt. Airda, Jr.‘"* An article in The Renfrew Mercury las; week notes that the cemetery at Goshen, Renfrew County, Ontario, has been in use for a century. There are cemeteries in Ontario that apâ€" pear to have been in disuse for longer than a hundred years, to judge by the unkemp: and neglected appearance they present. Some Southern Ontario newspapers have been talking about bringing civilization to the far North when the railway is extended to Moose Factory. There can be little civilization claimed where graves are neglected and where the cemetery is overgrown with weeds and marred by neglect and disrespect for the dead. Civilization that does not honour for women, care for children, kindness to the weak and the suffering and respect for the dead is sesrcseiy wor.h taking far by railroad or otherwise. I was cld grumpy Dr. Samuel Johnston who once said tha? there is no man so badly off that he does not feel some satisfaction in the fact that someone else is in even worse condition. The same idea may apply to communities. The Advance last week made righteously indignant reference to the malicious nitâ€"wit who deliberately smashed the warning red light at the Schumacher railway crossing. The Advance has nothing to re:ract in its condemnation of this criminal who has no proper place in civilized society outside of jail. Thursday, July 30th, 1931 Che Advanre OFFICE GEO LAKE, Owner and Publisher Subscription Rates: $2.00 per year United States ..$3.00 per year Published Every Thursday by: at he Last week The Renfrew Mercury noted that Senator Hayâ€" im to |den is a very sick man, and the Renfrew newspaper homn»s y, the | that he may recover soon so that he may write a history of d up | Renfrew County, for which task The Mercury believes him ig the ! to be specially endowed. The history of Renfrew County from | would no doubt be interesting, but not nearly s0o much so as guilty |some other affairs the Senator might write about this year. Such a beast not only wastes public money but he places all the people in jeopardy. Arnprior, however, seems to have an animal stiil more undesirable. The Renfrew last week told of one of those fiendâ€"fools who had scatiered nails along a highway near Arnprior. The nails had broad heads and long thin stems with sharp points On account of the road being a gravel one they could not be swept up, even when their presence was discovered after scores of tires had been punctured and the lives of hundreds in automobiles had been endangered. Men were set to work to pick up these scattered nails, but the work was a d ult one, and even while it progressed motorists were menaced by the posâ€" sible injury to their property and to persons through the fiendish and foolish proceeding. A Timmins citizen recentâ€" ly had a brand new car wantonly defaced by another of theso fiendâ€"fools. Some days ago the Timmins fire brigade had a call in the early morning hours to a distant alarm box. only to find that the alarm was deliberately false. The perverted person turning in the false alarm overlooked the fact that firemen in responding to a call, true or false, are in considerable danger of injury or worse. As a matter of fact there are so many chances for accident in the hurried restonse to a call that the firemen take their lives in their hnands each time they hurry out. Moreover, in answering a false call, they may have to waste a few precious minutes in their response to a genuine alarm th@a‘ may come in shor:ly after the false call. The wanton, destructive, maliâ€" cilous and idiotic beings who do these evil tricks never apâ€" pear to consider the consequences. It would be a good thing for the rest of the world if there were some large institution where all the:> nonâ€"social animals could be shipped for the safety of themselves and others. The Toronto Globe and cther newspapers are calling for a rcyal commission to make a complete and exhaustive enâ€" quiry into the whole Beaubarnois pewor affair. The parliaâ€" mentary committee brought out enough about the Beauâ€" harnois matter to shock all decent ptrople. At the same time there is a general idea that the half has not been told. As it was the money of the public and the resources of the people that were exploited in the Beauharnois scheme, it is rcascnable to suggest, as The Globe does, that the public should be given the complete facts in the case. The Adâ€" vance does not believe, however, that a royal commission is the way to meet the needs of the case. If public suspiâ€" cions are correct, ceriain peomke should be sternly dealt with by the law. It seems to The Advance that what should be d>ne in this matter is to handle it like any other case where ‘he law has been broken. If no crime has been commicted by anybody in the whole Beauharnois affair, the present »xcitement and indignation would appear to be misplaced. If crime has been committed, the guilty ones, no matter how high or how lowly placed, should be prosecuted in the reâ€" gular courts in the ordinary way. Is there any statule in Canada requiring trial in a court of law for those suspected of cverâ€"reaching the public in a small way, and trial by royal commission for those accused of flimâ€"flamming the public of millions. Either the proceedings in the Beauharnois af~ fair are legal or illegal. If legal, it may be the part of wisâ€" deom to revise the law, but inquests would seem to be profitâ€" less, indeed. If illegal methods have been used, the power of the law should be invoked in the ordinary way. At the present moment effort is being made to stiflie further enâ€" quiry and discussion by reference to the money that will be. Ic:t to innccent investors if the Beauharnois proposition is allowed to drop. It is said that the power developrnment scheme itself is a worthy one and that it would be a calaâ€" mity to it to be killed. It is also pointed out that. the banks and various honest and innocent investors have pledged millions to the project and that further financing will be impossible on account of the unfavourable publicity recently given the affair. Some newspamners are weeping large and briny tears over the innocent investors. This is on a par with the sympathy that is so often filcourished in the faces of the public in reference to the families of men conâ€" \victed of crimes from blindpigging to murder. No one wiches to see the innocent suffer, but unless the law is imâ€" !partial. there is no law at all. When the s:ockbrokers were on trial the interest of the innocent investors was considerâ€" ed a very seconaary If there has been any illegality in connection with the Beauhbharnois affair all guilâ€" ty of . wrong shculd be prosecuted without fear or favour. At the same time if the project itself is sound and good, the Governments might well take the project in hand and carry it through as a public ownership matter. If only the actual mongy invested in the scheme and legitimately spent were to be considered the project would not be unduly capiâ€" | talized. All waler should be squeezed cut cof the stock, howâ€" lever, and any amounts paid to politicians or others without Iadequate return should come out of the pockets of those | paying over the amounts referred to. The Sault Ste. Marie Star affects surprise because The Advance will not support the proposal cf an "unofficial legisâ€" lature for the North." The Advance is just as much interâ€" ested in the whole North as The Sault Ste. Marie Star, but this parisr has no intention of being jollied by words about ccâ€"operation and working together to endorse an action that is very evidently designed to be of sole benefit to the Sault district and corresponding injury to this part of the North. The recent soâ€"called conference at North Bay impressed the lesson of the lengths to which the Sault will go by misrepreâ€" sentation and "ballyhoo" to achieve its purposes. That packed conference, representative only of the Sault and disâ€" trict, has been persistently advertised by the Sault as giving the unanimous approval of the whole North to a route for the Transâ€"Canada highway that is strongly opposed by this and other parts of the North. After the packing of the North Bay conference, the Sault can scarcely expect to rouse any enthusiasm for further conferences or councils. If the Sault were really anxious to secure the coâ€"oprration of the business people of the various parts of the North, the proper procedure would be to make, use of the existing associations of boards of trade, representing both Northwestern and Norâ€" thern Ontario. A small council chosen from these two asâ€" sociations of boards of trade might be able to meet and disâ€" cuss the few questions of mutual interest, and few enough they are. At present the Sault‘s chief hope appears to be to secure some of the money now spent in Northern Ontario and transfer its use to Northwestern Ontario. This imâ€" pression is gathered from recent speeches by Sault men in advocating the proposed "unofficial council." An "unofficial legislature" such as Sault Ste. Marie has called for next month can not possibly draw a representative gathering from all of Northern Ontaric. Frankly, the prople in this section have not the money to finance any such scheme. The only way finances could be raised for such an ambitious plan would be through contributions from contracters and others who would hope to profit laier from work that might be opened up or privileges that might be obtainable. This methcd does not gppeal to this section, the very whisper of Beauharnois being enough to disrkhl all thoughts of any:hing along this line. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO LAKELAND GOLD MINE HAsS REâ€"OPENED AT BOURKES On Monday of last week the Lakeâ€" land Gold Mines, Limited, operating at Bourkes, Ontario, according to The Norih Bay Nugget, resumed underâ€" ground work, following installation of a 150 h.p. Diesel engine. Several new buildings have been erected and accomâ€" modation for 42 men has been establishâ€" ed, with 21 men now on the payroll. Recent installations include a 10,000 fuel oil storage tank, new complressor, drill sharpener, ete. The hoist is capâ€" able of working to a depth of 1,200 fse:. A reconditioned motor road to the proâ€" perty is now in excellent shaps. The immediate objective ocf No. 1 shaft is 500â€"foot depth, and when this is reached crosscutting and drifting will be undertaken at 150â€"foot intervais. No. 2 shaft, which is threeâ€"quarters of a mile distant, is now down to a depth of 286 feet. F. A. Pollard, president of Lakeland, advises that the ore body has been carefully stripped and assayed over widths from a few inches to five and six feet, indicating values from 80 cents to $20 in gold to the ton.: The main break runs about a mile and threeâ€"quarters through the centre of the property; hree additional claims were recently acquired, bringing holdings up to 800 acres. Whre the vein dips into the shaft at 55 feet, values have been persistent and due to this the management is hcpeful of encountering commercial ore when drifting is s:arted. Arthur Lee, fcrmerly with Lake Shore, joined the staff on July l1th and will take charge of underground development. President Pollard states that the proâ€" perty is cwned outrigh: and that equipâ€" ment now installed is puaid for. ‘ Present debt in practically nil and finances are in condition to carry out developâ€" ment work.

Preston, an ‘oldâ€"timer of the North Land, in writâ€"| |ing regarding the Transâ€"Canada highâ€"| way, made the sarcastic suggestion that if nothing else would be done to }get the national highway under way at once, the rightâ€"ofâ€"way of the railways could be utilized to provide the necesâ€" sary route. Mr. Preston was properly peeved with the delay and shillyâ€"shalâ€" lying in connection with roads for this North, and especially in regard to the Transâ€"Canada highway through this country. He touched on the point that some of the railways were not paying and affected to be in permanent diffiâ€" culties and as a counter suggestion he proposed dismantling these strips of railroad and using them for the Transâ€" Canada highway. The Advance took the suggestion for irony, but in the Senate last week Hon. Rufus Pope seriâ€" jously made a similar proposal. Hon. Mr. Pope suggested that some portions of the Canadian National Railway lines be taken over and incorporated in the Transâ€"Canada highway. He instanced the three lines from Fort William to Winnipeg, and thought one could be . | spared for the national highway. There were also other portions of transconâ€" tinental lines that could be used for the same purpose. He thought the Government should seriously consider whether it could make a contribution to the national highways by taking certain sections of the railways for this purpose. s me mm ns ty ie w . iss ns ues s mm Senator Would Use Railway for Road Tin Ironic Suggestion Made by K.

Simec> Reformer:â€" Simcoe Cliizeus may think their tax rate high, but take a psek at the new rate in the town of Cobalt, namely, 85 mills for public school supporters and 126 mills for seplarate school supporters. Last year the respective rates were 78 and 116 mills. Cobalt is an exceptional town of course, as is shown by the fact that many buildings are being tornmn down and assessment thus deâ€" creased. Cobalt, still a productive mining area has been overshadowed in recent years by the Kirkland Lake gold district and a great part of the populace has moved on to greener fields. Twentyâ€"five years brings great changes and the days of feverish acâ€" tiyity when the advent of the T. N. O. Railway first uncovered ore in the Cobalt district, are no more.

Previous to taking the position of governor Mr. Bourke was a turnkey at the North Bay jail. Mr.; Bourke is well known throughout North and enjoys wide respect for his efficiency and fairness as an official. It is understcod that the reason for his reâ€" tirement is a personal one. He plans to take a holiday for a time, though reâ€" ports has it that after a wellâ€"earned vacation he may resume work with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, with which force he was formerly connected and where he has an honourable record cf good service. William Raynor, as present turnkey at North Bay district jail will assume the duties cf the office held by Mr. Bourke until the successor to the latter is chosen. There is underâ€" stcod to be a strong ppssibility that Mr. Rayncr may be given the permanent appointment as governor of the North Bay district jail.

Marie on August 25th, is failing to rouse muclit enthusiâ€" asm in this part of the North. In fact, Sudbury and the towns to the north on the T. N. O. are treating the plan with scant ceremony. Most of the northern papers are bluntly outspoken in their opposition to the idea,. The reason for this feeling is not hard to see. The Sault and the Algoma district generally has been hostile to this part of Northern Ontario, and the chief 'rallying cry has been "Get some of the lmoney spent along the T. N. O. for this part of the country." In view of that, any plan suggested by the Sault for joint action is not likely to get i much sympathy from this part of the province. Efforts are being made in the South to make it appear that this move has the wholeâ€"hearted support of all Northern Ontario, but unless someone works a.miracle in the next four weeks, any "council" formed at the head of the lakes will largely reâ€" present the head of the lakes, and no one else." 150‘s 25¢ 21c 14c
