The general opinion has been that in Cochrane the authoritie" generally have not desired that blind- '*‘.igs and similar places should be a1- 1 iogether wipw out. This may have 'been a wrong idea, but it was the im- g pression generally gathered. After the 1 way Cochrane cleaned up on the com- nmnists. however, there was a feelincr that maybe the town was misrepresent- ed in other ways and that anything and everything would not be accepted there. Now word comes that Council- lor O'Malley started a discussion at the last meeting of the Cochrane town council 'by asking when the police were going to clean up all the blindpigs and disorderly houses in town. He gave it as his opinion that Cochrane was now in worse shape in this regard than pre- vious to the big clean-up staged last spring, when some two thousand dol- lars were collected in fines The coun- cil generally are reported as taking the stand that the .police in Cochrane must show greater activity against the blind- piggers and others or get; of! the job. According to The Northland Post, “it seemed to be the general opinion of} council that unless matters improved} greatly before next meeting of the council the police would be asked to COCHRANE ASKS POLICE TO GET AFTER THE BLINDPIGS Timmins SIMPSON'S FREE RADIO SERVICE installs set and connect: it to your aetial and wound and gives you inshuction on operation.

The Northern Ontario Associated Boards of Trade has approached the Government more than once on this question of the road to connect Tim- mins and Sudbury and to complete the belt line of roads that would so great- ly enhance the value of this country as an attraction to tourists. ,The North- ern Ontario Associated Boards are still working on this question. and it is likely to be one of the matters that will be before the meeting at Timmins on Friday of this week when the Asso- ciated Boards will be here for their annual~ meeting. , The proposed road has been endors- ed on several occasions by the Timmins board of trade. It has the full backing of the Northern Ontario Associated Boards of Trade and .by this body has been repeatedly brought to the con- sideration of the Government. It is interesting to note that the Timmins board of rad-e pressed the need for this road so persistently and effectively that Hon. Wm. Finlayson eventually wrote the Timmins board to the effect that the road would be built as soon as there was money available for it. Since then. Hon. M‘r. Finl'ayson has assumed an- other attitude on the matter, but it is hoped to remedy this as he gets time‘ to think it over again. It. is understood that both Hon. Chas. McCrea and Pre- mier Henry are in favour of the road, being interested in the speedy develop- ment. of the North. j At Sud-bury an organization has been ‘ formed to press the importance of the road between Sudlbury and Porcupine camps. The central body of this or- ganization is located at Sud'bury and is now seeking the endorsation of boards of trade as far west as Sault Ste. Marie and through the Timmins district. Several meetings have been held in Sudbury .by the ratepayers' associations of various wards in the city and the proposed road has 'been strongly endorsed on each occasion. The central body at Sudbury plans to oo-cperate with boards of trade. coun- cils, etc., to bring the need for the road. not only as a help in the unemployment situation, \but also as a general benefit to the North when completed, to the attention of the Government. In Sudbury recently groups of citi- zens have been laying r‘lans and mak- ing preparations to bring pressure to bear on the government and others concerned so as to assure the building of the connecting road between Tim- mins and Sudbury at as early a date as possible. Certain government ofl‘i- cials at Toronto are understood to have discounted and discouraged thoughts of the building of this connecting road, but the Sud’bury peOple are not ac- cepting the rebuffs, as they feel that the building of this road is most im- piortaant in the interests of the whole North. This road will not only con- nect the Sudbury camp with the Por- cupine gold camp, but it will also con- nect both Timmins and Sudbury with the new Matachewan gold camp. Elk Lake. Gowganda, Shiningtree and West Shiningtree, all mining camps of pro- mise.

The loss is estimated at $10,000.00. though this does not seem to be as large a figure as appears to be indicated ‘by the dam- age done. The building was of brick construction and was burned to the ground. The firemen put up a. good battle but were greatly handicapped by the low temperature. the thermo- meter being down to twenty-five below. Despite all that cauld be done with the equipment to hand the building could not be saved. though the fire was prevented from spreading.

Mr. Tokugawa stated one of the many things the Japanese had to contend with was the presence in the area of‘ Chinese soldiers who carried on theh‘i activities disguised as civilians. ' “Japan has not attacked an unfam- fled city as warlike preparations have been carried on there on a large scale by the Chinese.“ he said. Mr. Tokugawa referred to what he termed the belligerent attitude of the Chinese as exempiifled by the forma- tion of secret societies whose object was to inflame public opinion against his country. Members of these organ- izations had inaugurated a systematic campaign of violence and had issued inflammatory anti-Japanese circulars. anese soldiery and potnbed out. that the first. shot had been fired by Chinese.
