"Seals are in Hudson Bay by the milâ€" lions, said Mr. Martineau, seals of at least half a dozen varieties. There were the great grey seals that weigh up to 500 pounds, other varieties that go from 50 to 125 pounds in weights, and the small seals that weigh from 15 to 30 pounds. "The west coast of Hudson Bay is largely muskeg and clay, but on the east coast from Rupert‘s House river to the north the caast is rocky. The formation is Laurentian and Cambrian for a distance of 1,500 miles north and south, and for 1,000 miles back from the coast line. "On the east coast there are many wonderful natural harbours where the largest boats could tie up to the solid rock. There is lots of depth of water in James Bay, Mr. Martineau claimed. In the centre the depth would be at least 100 fathoms. ‘"There is good timber from Swan River on the west shore of the bay to East Main River on the east. North of that point timber is not so good though there are mills cutting above East Main River "Of the minerals of the North, Mr. Martineau said that coal, the brown variety such as is mined in Germany and is used for the manufacture of dyes, is plentiful in the Hudson Bay district. There are 40 or 50 islands in the Hudson Bay that carry iron ore of the best quality, suitable for the manuâ€" facture of the highest grade steel. The American Steel Trust already owns some of the properties there and await only the completion of transportation facilities to commence mining. "Lobsters and other crustaceans are found on the east coast for 1,000 miles and Mr. Martineau has also picked up oyster shells which would indicate beds of these bivalves There are .other mussels of all kinds in abundance. The lakes are full of salmon, white fish, and even eels are fairly plentiful. ‘"Asked as to the possibilities of living on the produce of the country, this man who has travelled its length and its breadth many times says that it is not only possible, but that it is being done by many. The fish alone are available in such numbers as to provide food for a large population. Vegeâ€" tables of the coarser kind are easily grown and furs are plentiful. "Speaking of fish, Mr. Martineau said that Hudson and James Bays could easily furnish half of the Canâ€" adian demand for fish, without any noticeable depletion of the waters. For 1,500 miles north, along the east coast of Hudson Bay from Charlton Islands, fish can be taken almost any place. He said that many times he has taken codfish for himself and dogs through holes cut in the ice of the bay. The best salmon caught in Canada abound in the bay. These are better than either the British Columbia or the Newfoundland fish. There are white fish along the western shore of the bay, but it is along the east coast that the fish are available in really commercial quantities. Other fish that abound in the waters of the bay include trout in the lakes and rivers, sturgeon of enorâ€" mous size, and everything up to the mammoth sperm whale of 120 feet in length, the capture of one of which means almost fortune. "The salmon fisheries on the east side of the bay could easily support two large canneries, Mr. Martineau stated. He had caught 100 salmon in an hour with hook and line, and at the rivers they could be readily scooped out of the water with paddles. "Almost four weeks ago Louis Marâ€"| tineau, a voyageur, a man who has spent the last 28 years in the Hudson and James Bay district, left Fort George, 350 miles north of Moose Facâ€" tory, and had from his garden fresh radishes. At ~the Rotary Club on Monday he told of some of the wonâ€" ders of the North and later in his room | at the Empire Hotel he enlarged on the subject.

Coarse vegetables grow rapidly and he has seen cabbages 17} pounds in weight grow at Fort George. Fish are plentiful and of great variety and in a number of places coal is availâ€" able in large quantities, exposed to view. He has seen cucumbers grow at Fort Albany. 4 "Speaking of fish, Mr. Martinea them. They are honest, hard working and courageous. They practically live by their.expertness with the harpoon, and this is often of the most primitive construction and material. Many of them still use a harpoon carved from a walrus tusk, though some have securâ€" ed the steel spear point. The seal is fuel, light, food and clothing to the Eskimo. James Bay Area has Greai Possibilities‘ Says Louis Martineau, who has Lived in Far North for Some Twentyâ€"eight Years. ormmammmmntin ies "When the T. N. O. railway is completed to James Bay and when tourist traffic has been extended to include the shores and islands of Hudâ€" son Bay then will it become generally known what wonderful resources are at present hidden, except to the few adventurous spirits who have spent many years in the North, who know it and appreciate it. There is more than the glamour of the fur trade hidâ€" den beyond the present end of steel. Hundreds of miles north of the James Bay terminal potatoes, cabbage, turnips and many other vegetables are grown in abundance and of excellent quality. Fish, Fur and Coal _ The secret of _ Some More Stories in the Great North _ Reeping fresh | About Paul Bunyan At the Rotary Club in North Bay last week Louis Martineau, for twentyâ€" eight years a resident of the Far North, told of the great possibilities of the James Bay area. There is fish, fur and coal, in abundance, he said, arnd he foretold a mighty future for the great Far North with the coming of the railâ€" way to tidewater. The North Bay Nugget gave the following account last week of the address of Mr. Martineau to the Rotary Club:â€" THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO ~ last | ityâ€"| Yt}l.; the | North Bay Nugget:â€"A French chef declares his best dishes are inspirec by music.

SIGNS THAT DEPRESSION IS ABOUT TO DEPART AGAN "On Monday evening Mr. Martineau left for Toronto and Chatham and will return north again within the next few weeks. He expressed to The Nugget a very kindly regard for George W. Lee chairman of the T. N. O. Commisâ€" sion, and for Hon. Chas. McRae, whom he missed by only a few days at the Moose River crossing. "While going from post to post, traâ€" velling thousands of miles by dog team, canoe or small schooner, Mr. Martinâ€" eau made many observations of physiâ€" cal conditions of the country, its rock foundation, its fisheries and its forests. Probably no man living has covered as many miles north of Moose Factory as he has Others have spent longer periâ€" ods but they have been mostly confined to one or two trading posts. Mr. Marâ€" tineau has gathered a wonderful fund of information about the country with the idea of capitalizing on it when transportation facilitiese are available "Mr. Martineau was very ready to speak of the North and its wonders, but very modest in speaking of himâ€" self. He is a native of Quebec, and as a youth of 19 he found himself engaged with Revillon Freres establishing fur posts in the James Bay country. After nine years with this firm he became a free lance, working some times for the Hudson Bay Company, rejuvenating posts that had degenerated, or back again with Revillons for a season or two. ‘"Porpoises abound in the bay and there are easily enough of them there to break the United States monopoly on the extremely fine oil that is exâ€" tracted from these fish, and that is used for watches and extremely fine precision instruments.

For one thing a man had to be seven inches between the eves before he could even be conâ€" sidered as a candidate for a job. His second test was to.carry a bed tick full of boom chains up a scrub oak mounâ€" tain. Succeeding in this he was given a twenrtyâ€"five pound axe with three blades and set to work. "FPaul‘s operations were gigantic in scope and exceedingly rapid in pace. He logged over country so fast that he had one gang ahead building camyr/ and one gang behind pulling them down again, thereby doubling up on the ordinary circus performance. "Paul‘s cooks were unusual performers â€"they had to be. FPlapjacks were made by the acre on a stove measurâ€" ing ten by twenty rods. The cookees use roller skates in spreading the batâ€" "Not long ago the writer talked to an old lumberman and river driver who mentioned Paul with that droll mixture of respect and concealed amusement which characterizes tales from the lips of Bunyan‘s devotees. The old man casually remarked that one spring Paul was taking down a "drive" and got into the wrong creek. He and his men chased the logs down it for three days before they discovered their error. They, then, said the historian, calmly turned around and drove the logs back up the creek. Anyone unfamiliar with the technique of driving logs will fail to grasp the significance of such a perâ€" formance. Years ago there was a member of | The Advance staff who was always: calling upon "Paul Bunyan" to help him out of any and all sorts of dim-! culties. This member of the staff had worked in lumber camps and seemed not only to have a remarkable knowâ€" ledge of Paul Bunyan, but also seemed | to need that character in his daily life. i If this man were checked up on anyâ€" thing he always referred the ma.tterl finally to Paul Bunyan. If he were | questioned as to who told him somei tall story that was questioned at the| desk, he invariably answered:â€""Paul | Bunyan." Nothing could be mentioned | that Paul Bunyan had not bettered. Paul Bunyan was an unfailing source of comfort and support and never| failing excuse and explanation. Perâ€"| haps, for this reason The Advance has' always taken a deep interest in Paul Bunyan.

It is true that several books have | been written dealing exclusively withi the remarkable adventures of the said | Paul Bunyan, but these books do not cover the subject very completely. In the last issue of The Northern Miner there is an article from the noted "Grab Samples" column in regard to the mythical Paul Bunyan. The Nor-’ thern Miner says:â€" "Paul Bunyan is a name to conjure| with in lumbering circles and it seems strange that mining and prospecting have not evolved a similar mythical character upon whom could be pinned fantastic tales of extraordinary achievements.

Prodding his memory he brought forth in doleful tones a long, many versed, wail about a young Johnny Somebody who went to the woods, leaving his poor mother, his sister and his brother, all alone at home. Camp life was described and the inevitable falling tree brought the fitting tragic end to Johnny‘s career. The old man sang with his head bowed down and his eyes covered with his hands. The last verse was spoken, not sung, the flat tones serving to awaken those who had fallen asleep during the musical part of the programme. This procedure he described as typical of the old camp bards. Trouble was, he said to get some of the singers stopped when they got started. Other speciâ€" mens he gave indicated that all the songs were of the simplest ballad type, mournful in tone and tragic in trend. They usually started like this: "Come all ye jolly shanty boys and T‘ll a story tell." "The writer recalls being billetted in a French village in the fall of 1917 and listening outside the hut of British Columbia regiment, where a sing song was being held by the officers, many of whom had lumbering experiences. Song after song was of the "comeâ€"all ye". | variety and some of them were weird and some of them were highly flavourâ€" ed with the seasoning of lumberjack wit. It was an odd and poignant setâ€" ting for the lumber camp songs of the Pacific Coast." "There are hundreds of stories about Paul and his gang and his blue ox. All of them are interesting. Perhaps some of the readers of this column may be able to add to the score. "The old man was questioned about the legendary Blue Ox. This ox, he said, was not really blue;,it was a sort of French grey, but the lumberjacks compromised on the blue colour for want of a better term. It was quite an animal and built in proportions, enâ€" dowed with characteristics in keeping with Paul Bunyan‘s operations. For one thing it took seven men to yell "Whoa" at it. It was the only animal Paul permitted on the job and it did all the work ordinarily expected from hundreds of teams of horses. It moved the camp on moving day, did all the logging. Before work began in the winter a hundred men were sent ahead to .cut down the beaver meadows in the area, to provide fodder for it. Eighâ€" teen men carried water. "Talking of this old woodsman the writer received confirmation of someâ€" thing he had long suspected. The old man stated positively that in the old days lumber camp foremen deliberateâ€" ly engaged camp jestersâ€"men with humorous twist, jolly fellows who, by their pranks, their songs and stories, kept up the spirits of the men in the long winter months. These men were expected to work, of course, but they usually had light jobs and did their real work in the evenings when the men were sitting around in the sleep camps. The jokesmiths often accepted the role of camp butts but did not mind it; they knew why they were there. The presence of a man at whom everyone could laugh and poke fun gave all hands a feeling of superiâ€" ority. This practical application of psychology antedated the modern facâ€" tory manager‘s effort by many years. ter and snow shovels in turning the cakes. Of course, the head cook had a motor cycle and the roaring of the machine â€" around the dining tables caused manys the kick, said the oldâ€" timer.
