WATERS President General Manager About Lindbergh‘s Visit to James Bay Moose Factory Had no Rapid Means of Communication to Give the News to the Outside ‘World. Col. C. A. Lindbergh, who has reâ€" ceived more advertising and publicity than probably other living airman, irrespective of what may be justly due him, visited Moose Factory several days ago on his trip to Japan. Because of the large measure of publicity given Lindbergh many in the North Land 840 at factory, ng frc « CHEVRO! sM models li t sti io Moose Factory.

This reference read as folâ€" lows:â€" News of Flight Through North Not Easy to Get. "Although the Ottawaâ€"Moose Facâ€" tory flight was only an incident in the trip Col. and Mrs. C. A. Lindbergh are _ making for a holiday jaunt, it presentâ€" ed some serious difficulties from the standpomt of getting news of it to the outside world. From the time he left Ottawa on Saturday morning until Sunday morning about the same time, no word was received about him, owing to the fact that Moose Pactory as yet has no connection with the outside world. were especially interested in his visit Word of his safe arrival then was seâ€" cured by The Nugget with the coâ€"operâ€" ation of the T. N. 0. and the C. P. R. telegraph. The first word was relayed through Cochrane, and then a plane, which was chartered in North Bay, and sent up late Saturday night by Canaâ€" dian Press, reported Lindbergh‘s safe arrival and departure from Moose Facâ€" tory. An Ontario Forestry plane just failed making contact with him on Saturday. The Forestry plane was leaving just as Lindbergh came in, and the pilot did not see him. That was at 2 o‘clock on Saturday afternoon. The Lindberghs stayed overnight, leaving at 10 o‘clock on Sunday morning for Churchill. A canoe sent down the river by the T. N. O. brought out the first authentic word, so far as the outâ€" side world was concerned, on Sunday morning of his arrival and departure. Refuelling Machine. Lindbergh spent Saturday afternoon refuelling his machins, putting in four drums of gasoline, and having to do it with a fiveâ€"gallon tin. He paddled about in his bare feet quite happily, and expressed his pleasure at the trip thus far. Mr. and Mrs. Lindbergh were the guests of the post master of the Hudson‘s Bay Company, Mr. and Mrs. Watts, in the absence of the disâ€" trict manager, Mr. West, who was away on an inspection trip. j The plane from North Bay piloted by R. A. Clegg, reached Moose Factory early on Sunday morning, but did not get back until Monday morning, owing to difficulty in refuelling at Cochrane, and poor visibility. Pilot Clegg reprorts: The Pilot‘s Log "We left North Bay at 4 a.m. on August 2. It was just before the break of day, and we had a good trip with clear weather all the way, arriving at Moose Factory at 7.10 a.m. On the way in we saw a motorâ€"boat, and learned later that he had taken 11 hours from the railroad of the T. N. O. to the Hudson‘s Bay post. "We saw Lindy‘s machine in a shelâ€" tered channel. The American regisâ€" tration,/ N.R. 211, showed quite plainly, also the drift line painted on the tail of the machine. As we circled the Hudson‘s Bay post we saw a man in a canoe signalling us where to land and we landed alongside Lindy‘s machine. We noticed that his machine was well tied down, and he had also a small mooring light on the machine. He arâ€" rived at Moose Factory about 2 p.m. on August 1, and spent the afternoon looking after his machine, refilling it with gasoline. "When we got on shore we found that Lindy and his wife had stayed the THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO McLAUVUVGHLINâ€"BUICK 6 models, listing from $1,085 to $1,230 at factory, taxes extra.

Lindbergh gave us a cheery' good morning and we ingroduced ourâ€"| selves, and asked, if he had a good sleep. He said ‘yes‘ and we asked him i he liked the noith country, and he said it was ‘very nice. ll Wanted Message Sent | "He said that he was anvious to get| a radio message out to let people know that everything was all right. Myrs. Lindbergh had tried during the afterâ€" noon before they landed, but could not" get anybody. She was going to send| some radio messages again at 10 a.m.| when they took off for Churchill. We found afterwards that some of the men working for the T. N. O. had tuned in about 1 pm. to see if they heard anything, but got music only, though it was loud and clear. "Lindbergh said he would have to refuel at Churchill, but did not know definitely whether he would stay overâ€" night, as he did not know whether he could get good anchorage. As we left for the railhead it started to rain,! blowing from the southeast, so we reâ€" ; marked that Lindy would have tall wind.

In a statement published some days ago Jack Miner, the noted nature lover and the originator of the wild bird sanctuary in Canada on a large scale, says : â€" "All told I have now caught, tagged and liberated 5,975 wild geese and up to January ist, 1931, 854 are reported killed, 630 in the U.S.A. and 224 from Canada. All the correspondence that contain these facts are now forwarded to our Dominion Government officials at Ottawa, but my boys request that we keep these returned tags for an exhiâ€" bit to be put in the longâ€"talked of Obâ€" lookatory that is going to be erected be'c:}e the public highway near my honfe, so that‘s that.

On Sunday wholly unâ€" necessary destruction of property the trampling down of gardens and lawns and other utterly useless damage was done to adjoining properties, just beâ€" cause some people lose their heads. Then there was the circulation of the story that the water tank was empty. How it spread. How people repeated it without a thought whether it was true or not. What a lot of unnecesâ€" sary trouble, anxiety, worry and grief, as well as property would be saved if people wouldn‘t lose their heads. « Washing Underwear *‘ in New Gold Area L | "Everyhody helped clear the ball |field which is just west of the bank.

Raspberries andy Blueâ€" Bberries. Also Et Cetera. Every week The Advance makes a grab for The Northern Miner and then makes a grab for the column, "Grab Samples," in that paper. "Grab Samâ€" ples" deals with a stunning variety of subjects but is always exteremely inâ€" teresting. Last week‘s "Grap Samples" held very particular interest, dealing exclusively, and, of course, in very unâ€" usual way, with the Matachewan gold camp. Here is the column in full as published last week:â€" ‘"Bannockburn â€" Hincks Drawâ€"The first ball game between Ashley mine and Hincks township resulted in a tie. Hincks took an early lead of five runs, but had a hard time after that. A second match is being looked forward to with much interest. ‘"‘Match Holder Wantedâ€"Hot and wet weather is hard on the match supâ€" pyl." It‘s surprising that no one has had the initiative to make a match box suitable for use in the woods. What is wanted is an easily opened metal box about the size and shape of a cigarette package. "Porcupines and Trousersâ€"Clair Seâ€" vert, the storekeeper at Whitefish, is wearing trousers again. He says it‘s on account of the porecupines. Seven times recently his dogs have got their hides full of quills. Clair has to pull them out with heavy pliers whenever he can corner a dog. This necessitates having the pliers always handy in his pocket and when he carries them in his diminutive trunks they have proven too much for the buttons, so he just has to be conventional again and wear trousers. "Rains Keep Bush Safe.â€"The weathâ€" er continues favourable in Matacheâ€" wan. Frequent rains make the brush wet; but are welcomed because they minimize the fire hazard. The ground and air patrols of the forestry departâ€" ment are keeping careful watch, but have not had to do any fire fighting in the Matachewan area this year. The telephone lines are kept in good order by daily patrols and enable headâ€" quarters to keep in close touch with both their own men and other sources of informaiion. ‘ Incidentally the forest "The Berries Are Ripsâ€"Walking along the Bannockburn road now reâ€" quires a little more time than it did in June. There are few flies insisting on movement and there are raspberries and blueberries to be picked. They are just getting ripe and it take a lot of time to get enough of them. Met Tom Fox and his family going for berries. There were six of them in the canoe. Five were paddling, Pete Commando in the bow and Tom Fox in the stern with the three ladies on less comfortable seats and the blackâ€"haired baby strapped to a board in the usual Indian fashion. They enquired about the berries, paddled a couple of miles to the Alderson landing and came back couple of hours later with about a pint. They landed at Whitefish, gazed openâ€"eyed at the twoâ€"storey cabin on the Arglye portage, watched Clair Seâ€" vert doing water stunts with a prosâ€" pector‘s canoe, and then called it a day and the five paddles got in to action so fast that the canoe moved off as though it had a Johnson motor. piâ€"otecticn telephone is very helpful to all who are prospecting in the area.

He brought a variety of parcels and also the mail and newsâ€" papers. He had waited at Elk Lake post office while the young lady sorted the mail that came in on the 2.40 train. He was delivering it at Whitefish a halfâ€"hour after he received it. Clair Severt took the mailbags and passed them over to Gay Alderson, who has just come out from Austen Lake and was anxious to get word from his brother, Bill, zsbhout a recent motor acâ€" cident. The letter was not in the bag. Clarke was able to advise Guy that there are some letters for him at Elk Lake post office and also that the postâ€" master had a letter from Guy asking that his mail be held and a few hunâ€" dred letters of instruction from several othe prospectors which have to be conâ€" sulted frequently during mail sorting. Guy‘s latest letter of instruction had evidently been overlooked. The inciâ€" dent served to show how this pilot is keeping the man in the bush in touch with the outside organized services. Everyone expects Clarke to do this. He is the best known and most useful man in Matachewan. today. "A Birdseye Viewâ€"Coming out with Clarke from Whitefish last week, I was watching for few minutes the ground immediately below which here and there shows faint signs *of the activities of prospectors and miners. At a motion from the pilot I moved into the forward seat and then he pointed out some of the distant landâ€" marks. To the south clinging close to the ground a cloud of distinctive colour and form marked Sudburyâ€"the smelter smoke from Copper Cliff and that t it had Clarke landed it the canoge mo id a Johnson mo rkeâ€"Clarke of G ed at Whitefish Saturday aftern : _ moved i motor. of Genâ€" Coniston. . Ahead another streak of darker smoke marked Latchford and its wood burning mill. To our left a low cloud, like that over Sudbury, marked Noranda and its smelter, while closer the sun picked out distinctly the buildings at Kirkland Lake. Below us at this moment was Moyneurs and the Montreal River. We were still picking: out distant land marks, Gowganda Lake, Bear or Macobe Lake, Lady Eveâ€" lyn Lake, Lake Temiskaming, when Clarke said "We‘ll coast in from here." We were then just over Indian Chute. Ten minutes later Clarke nosed his plane against the sand at the Elk Lake landing and our view was limited to Gordon Porter‘s store, the bridge and the King Edward Hotel. Clarke has the edge on us in this north country. He sees more of it in a day than most of us do in a year. ‘"Washing Underclothes.â€"Nearly all prospectors wear ‘ wollen underwear. It is advisable to wash this occasionâ€" ally and no easy way is in general use. Alex McNeel has a device that is worth noting. Take a honey tin, basten a pick handle to the bottom by use of a few wire nails Punch a dozen small holes about two inches from the botâ€" tom. Boil the clothes with soap chips "Three Inches of Hailâ€"â€"Hincks had a novel hailstorm two weeks ago. In one section it piled up three inches deep and despite the extremely hot weather did not all disappear for many hours. Now, if you look at the leaves l of the underbrush you will find holes ‘in almost everyone of them. The |prospectors say that it killed the big \fliesâ€"the deer and horse flies disapâ€" |peared overnight." holes about two inches from the botâ€" tom. Boil the clothes with soap chips in a big pail over the open fire. Then operate the honey pail up and down just as though you were an electric washer. You will be surprised at the efficiency of this simple device. It makes washday much easier and also oftener. Cliff Carmichael says that it always turns the shirts inside out and would like an explanation. Creorge Corrigan says the boys should not be wearing their woollen shirts out with washing machines as they will need them during the coming hard winter. He wouldn‘t wear his at all in the hot weather if the flies would quit biting him in the back. Blairmore (Albertan» unterprise: â€"A local guy says that he could not have any more trouble with his car if he was married to the darn thing. Kitchener Record:â€"Marlen E. Pew, editor of the magazine Editor and Publisher, asserts that nothing but a widespread public protest against speed, reckless hoggishness, weak laws, political favoritism and financial irresâ€" ponsibilities will cut down the rising total of accidents. And he adds: "Reckless drivers must learn that there is sure personal punishment for violaâ€" tion of road laws. Killing and maimâ€" ing musi be made expensive; speed must be regulated by law with enforecâ€" ment which means business; state and city governments must be aroused to the peril of the plsople and proceed to regulate triffic with an iron hand. The inspection of vehicles must be frequent, regular and rigia, and a lot of danâ€" gerous tin junk that is.now permitted to whirl along the roads at 50 miles an hour must be ruled off." Very rarely has the matter been more ably preâ€" sented. Our Want Ad.
