At Kirkland Lake ;hey were not'content to be allowed the tee of the streets and to block traffic to some. extent; they actually had to at- tempt to interfere with traffic on one of the busiest corners of the town last Tuesday. The police asked them to move away from this corner. but ac- cording to reports from Kirkland Lake they no: only refused to move but were apparently imtudent and offensive a~ bout it. When the police attempted to force the communists to act half-way decent in the matter they responded by heaving rocks at the police. Six police- men were slightly injured in the melee that followed and, of course, some in- nocent citizens also suffered from the riot. The police had the firemen turn the hose on the communists agitators and by this and other means the alien agitators were eyentually dispersed. A number of the decent citizens of Kirk- i land Lake volunteered their help to the ' police. As a consequence of the disturâ€" bance the police arrested ten fellows. These ten alleged communists came be- fore Magistrate Atkinson at Kirkland Lake on Thursday last and were re- manded for a week. They are to come before the court again today. It is un- derstood that the men asked for the re~ mend themselves as they wished to secure outside counsel. They were al- lowed bail at the rate of $1000.00 in F cash or $1500.00 property. It is expect- i ed that Hugh John McDonald, of Tor- onto. will be the barrister to represent the accused men when the case comes pup uvum‘.“ -_- -__ up again at Kirkland Lake police court to-day (Thursday). While the ten men will have their cases called again in court to-day, it is not known whether the charges will be finally dealt with to-day or not. It is possible that «a furâ€" ther remand may be requested. Charges of taking part in an affray, of assault and of obstructing the police have been laid by the Crown. it being alleged a- gainst one man that he struck a police- man with a stone while the officer was down on the ground. The accused are Joe Billings, the imported speaker at the meeting, Peter Boychuck, the chair- man, Jalo Ketola, the truck driver. and Mike Bunder, Paavo Niemi, Alpo Salml- nen. Annti Pltlola, Toivo Berbacka, Nick Sych. Arno Warrala. Billings is the only English-speaking man in the group. POLITICS NOT GOLD WRONG WITH IVORLD DECLARES BANK ”It is something to ponder over that the Bank of England, with gold reserves today less than $700,000,000, is clearing more international business, and rend- ering more international aid to busi- ness. than the banking and currency sy- stems of the United States and France together. although the gold holdings of these two countries aggregate over $7,- 000,000.000." comments the National City Bank of New York in its Septemb- er letter. continuing: “These figures afford a convincing demonstration that something other than a lack of gold in the world is responsible for the present disordered world situation. v-wvâ€" “v “The banking authorities‘of the Uni- l ted States and France have not been responsible for the unbalanced situa- tion. They have oflered no inducements for an inflow of gold. but as creditor countries the tide has flowed to them as a result of disturbed trade conditions. From the beginning of 1929 to August 15. 1931, two years seven and one-half months. the stock of monetary gold held by the United States Reserve banks and the Treasury increased from $3,746,000,- 000 to 54.620.000,000 and the holdings of the Bank of France increased from $1.- 253.000.000 to $2,295.000,000, an aggre- gate increase for the two countries of 81.916.000.000. In the 71 months of 1931 to August 15, the United States gained $396,000.000 and France $195,000,000. a _A- total for the two countries of $591,000.- 000. This is enough to show that ag- gregate world supply is one thing and world distribution quite another. Both countries have far more than they need for their reserve requirments. “What can be done to accomplish dis- tribution? Gold moves from country to country upon the initiative of pri- vate business. but at present the busi- ness instinct values safety above op- portunities for profit. Political and social disorders which menace the se- curity of investments are the dominat» ing influence. When they are brought under control the distribution of gold will occur in the usual manner.” Mr. Rudolph Lasalle left on Saturday morning for Toronto where he will at- tend college. KHK At.

Ebbitt, secretary of the District of Cochrane Old Age Pension Board, is dated Sept. 11th, and contains many interesting facts. The District of Cochrane Old Age Pension board deals with all pension applications from the district. with the exception of the town of Timmins which has a board of its Total Number of Applications to date, 267. Applications for District Come from 57 Different Post Offices. The total number of applications dealt with to date by the District of Cochrane board is 267. In-addition there are 6 applications mailed by the secretary to applicants but not yet re- turned. There are no applications pending, all applications being dealt with as soon as possible after receipt. The total number of deaths among those given the pension since the en- forcement of the act is 17. Theâ€"number‘of applications cancelled on the report of mg inspector is 14. The number of applications reduced on the report of the inspector is 14. The number of applications refused by the board is 17. The number of post oflices from which applications have .been received by the board is 57 In connection with the applications cancelled on the report of the inspec- tor one has been requested to return all monies he received together with th interest on this amount. A note in the secretary‘s report says: Re applications reduced on report of the inspector, these have no reflection on the local board. In come cases the information supplied was not correct. especially as regards financial position. In other cases pensioner’s position has been improved as a result of inspector’s visit the children assuming more res- ponsibility‘ TIMMINS, ON TARIO, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 17TH,1931 Further Improvement Noted at the Howey Mine “Everything is running along smoothly,” he reports. While grade was for a few weeks below normal that was due to several slopes being in com- paratively poor material at the same time. There has since been an im- provement. The ore sorting plant has been operating two weeks, but it too early yet to say just what benefit will be derived from it. An increase of 100 tons a day of ore has been mined bringing the total to 700 tons. The ex- tra tonnage is being discarded in the scrting plant: Of course, ore grade has I l 1‘ benefitted. “We have found,” added Mr. Birks. “that the 1,000 ft. level ore does not? lend itself to sorting, but the upper levels, from 375 up. are not so high grade and contain waste rock. It is obvious that the ore sorting plant will be of great value in raising the g1ade of ore coming from upper levels. “Two haulage levels are being com- pleted at 375 and 1,000 ft. Ore above the 375 level will all be dropped to it and ore below 375 and down to 1,000 will be handled at the 1,000. On the latter we are installing electric haulage. Despatches from Toronto last week my that satisfaction with conditions at he Howey Gold Mines. Limited. was expressed by R. T. Birks, the president. Liter a trip to the mine in the Red Lake area. Continuing the interview with President Birks. one despatch “We expect to have a tube mill inâ€" stalled in the fall. This will assist in rounding out the milling process. thereby improving extraction, and pos- sibly might make available additional capacity.” :‘Mr.'Birks was well satisfied with progress toward the reduction of oper- ating costs.- They are currently slightly below $3 and include 20 cents a ”ton'for interest and repayment of the loan made Howey by Mr. Cherry. Hones were for still further reduction in charges. Since May the production per mah had increased materially. on some work had almost doubled. Up to date Howey has milled 250,000 towns of ore averaging $4.25, recovering over $1,000,000. BOXERS HAVE SPARRING PARTNER AT WAVVAITIN FALLS Under the heading, “Wawaitin Wails” the C.N.P.C. Review in its September issue sayszâ€"“Messrs Hallett and Bis-. sonnette paid us a visit last month and tried their hand at fishing. You are always welcome to try againâ€"better luck next time, gentlemen. Dick and Jack are back from their holidays and they have had some wonderful exper- iences, as least that is what they expect one to believe. Dick thinks that Eaton’s store in Toronto is the most wonder- .ful building of its kind in the world. He says he spent ten days there and all. he saw was one side of it. Mrs. Roy who is taking Mrs. Hayes’ place, thinks this is a very nice place and we don’t (disagree with her. Among the many, 'visitors during the last month were Roy Hamilton and Len. Wadsworth, well- .known boxers from Timmins. They 'lwere here training for some fihts to [be held in Timmins. We might mem- ‘tion, Roy Hamilton is the boy who went to the final of the amateur feather- weight championship of Canada. Your humble acted as sparring partner for them while they were here (by the way I am still sporting a black eye). I must have forgotten to duck. A new mem- ber in the person of Stewart Graham has been added to our operating staff. .Hope he likes us?" Mm Ahmwm Fleet of Five Planes Searches the North A despatch from Sioux Lookout. Ont. this week says that the drone of roar- ing motors continues to disturb the soli- tude of Northern Ontario’s hinterland. as search from the air continues for Charles W. Gordon, pilot-geologist of the Consolidated Smelting and Mining Company. Two More Machines to Join in Search for Charles W. Gordon, the Lost GeOIOgist and Pilot. For days now a fleet of five planes has threaded its way over the north- ern district, combing the territory for miles around. Two more 'planes flown by pilots H. Wensely and H. G. Anderson, are on their way to aid in the hunt for Gordon who has not been heard of for a month. On August 15th he left Sioux Look- out on a 400-mile flight to Trout Lake, with mail, food and other supplies for the company employees there. A violent storm followed in the wake of his deâ€" parture and company officials fear he may have been blown miles from his course and that he crashed or was forced to land in a blinding rain in some part of the vast wilderness. PLEASANT BIRTHDAY PARTY IN HONOUR OF NINE-YEAR-OLD At the home of Mrs. Bert Bisonnette, 51 Third avenue, on Saturday, Sept. 5th, a very pleasant party was held in honour of the ninth birthday anniver- sary of her daughter Jacqueline. There were about fourteen little girls present and they all had a delightful time from two to five o’clock in the afternoon. Mrs. Bisonnette served a very pleasing lunch to the youngsters. Jacqueline was the recipient of many nice gifts and all sorts of good wishes for many happy returns of the day. Among the girls present werezâ€"Emilienne Four- nier, Pauline Bisonnette, Patricia Mar- ion, Rita Bisonnette, Blanche Bou- chard. Marie Paule Emard, Claire Vachon, Grace Bisonnette, Helene Fournier, Ida Bouchard, Irene Boutin, . Madeleine Lecuyer. Mr. ané Mrs. A. E. Pltre, of Ottawa were Timmins visitors this week. To Provide Market for Local Produce Work on Trans-Canada Highway to be of Value to Farmers and Gar- deners of North. Says Presi- dent of Catering Firm. The construction of the Trans-Can-I ; ada highway this winter by the De-, REi partment of Northern Development of ' â€"â€" the Ontario Government wilL, providei I an exceptionally good market for home M. grown food supplies in the districts’ m0 through which the highway will run. “at: The quantities of food which 10.000| men will consume on work in the brisk I MRS. North Country climate are amazing to' ~____ the unnitiated. The caterers who have , the contract for boarding the highway 3 CG workers state that 10,000 men will con- sume in six months the following quan- Mee tion ,tities: 39,600 lbs. cheese; 138,600 lbs. carrots; 232,800 lbs. cabbage; 139,200 doz. eggs; 196,200 lbs. beans; 151,200 lbs. onions; 2,400,000 lbs. potatoes; 165.000 lbs. turnips; 32,000 lbs. sauerkraut. These lines of food are produced in Northern Ontario and handled in the local stores. Mr. McCracken, president of Crawley 8.: McCracken Company, Limited, in an interview stated that. as a matter of standard policy, his firm would buy locally as much as possible of the food required. It is estimated that this contract is the largest of its kind ever let in Can- ada. Mr. McCracken state'd that the price arranged is the lowest at which a contract of this nature had been taken since pre-war days. The margin. naturally. will be very small, but it is felt by the executives of Crawley Mc- Cracken Co., Limited, that they will be doing a good turn during these critical times by thus assisting in this work. At the same time the contract will pro- vide employment for several hundred of the catering firm’s own trained men. who have suffered enforced inactivity during the past summer becaufi of the slackness in construction and railway maintenance. Government officials are satisfied that by turning this department of the work over to a firm equipped with. the necessary facilities and experience to handle it, their engineers will be reâ€" lieved of a very great amount of work and will be enabled to do the road con- struction work with far greater eflic- iency. Preparations are now under way to assemble the equipment and supplies required before launching the work. Actual construction, it is believed. will commence on October lst. FUNERAL ON SATURDAY OF THE LATE MRS. RATCHFORD The funeral took place Saturday morning from St. Patrick's Roman Ca- tholic Church at Cobalt of the late Mrs. Sarah Ratchford, wife of P. F. Ratch- ford, who died on Thursday morning at her home on Helen street. Burial was made in the new R. C. cemetery at Haileybury. The late Mrs. Ratchford had been in poor health for some time past, and for the past two months had been confined practically to her room. The family came to Cobalt about 13 years ago from Portage du Fort. Be- fore her marriage, Mrs. Ratchford was Miss Sarah McDonald, and her mother, now 95 years of age, is still living. She makes her home in Calgary with a . sister. Surviving are the husband, two ; sons, Jack, of Kirkland Lake, and Will- iam, of Sudbury, and two daughters, Mrs. H. O. Barett and Miss Annie Ratchford, both in Cobalt. One son, Charles, was killed overseas. FOVVL LOCATE TREASURE OF GOLD AND SILVER. PIECES The old saying that the man who tells the first story hasn’t a chance is proven every day by the newspapers, and by life itself. Every year about Thanksgiving Day time there are tales of gold finds being located by means of . gold nuggets being found in the crop of some fowl or other. In recent years Christmas has followed so closely after Thanksgiving that the Christmas stories are the bestâ€"or the worstâ€"as the read- er may value truth or the doggoneo good lie. Once in a long while the stories of the treasures found in the crops of fowl leading to the source of gold may be found'in the newspapers after Christmas. The present, however. is a little early for them. Yet there is one now starting the rounds of the press that is equally of Sault Ste. Marie . flavour with any of the dubious after- Christmas stories. Chronicled News Bits in The Huntingdon Gieanorâ€"a treasure house for the odd and the bizarre in the line of newsâ€"last week tells this one. I Mrs. W.’ D. Watt returned last week ‘from a visit to her sister, Mrs. A. J. Dawnie, in Toronto. It is reproduced here without prejudice and without reSponsibility. Here it is: as The Huntingdon Gleaner tells it:â€" “A man living in Coventry, England, has a garden that is part of a new estate and boasts a fine old oak. As his (owls Were scratching about near by they dug up a hoard of gold and silver. The lucky man found that the coins beâ€" longed to the reign of George the Third and that there were eighteen pieces of gold and five of silver. The treasure had been buried exactly 100 yards from the foot of the oak tree and in a direct line with the cathedral spire.” 5;; Cornish Social Club V nunvu-n --..__ - H. M. MOBR‘E. "KM. CAVANAGH.
