The accused Emt was arrested in connection with alleged gefalcations involving funds of the town of Cochrane. Mr. Moore conductâ€" ed his own case last week. . At his request Mayor Mitchell took the stand and was questioned by the accused reâ€" garding what Mr. Moore referred to as "some difficulty experienced last June." Moore said that he had paid over to the town at that time over $400.00 in order to straighten out the books. Asked if the town council was satisfied then that nothing was wrong, Mayor Mitchell replied that they must have been. Mr. Moore objected to a quesâ€" on asked Auditor Ross as to how the hortage occurred, and the objection susthined by the magistrate. . "If e roll had been properly checked, I d not be standing here toâ€"day," oore said. Auditor Ross said he had en up with the town council the ion of checking the collector‘s roll ut that he was not given authority to proceed.

As migzht be exâ€" pected this lighter note is struck by the old reliable "Grab Samples" colâ€" umn in The Northern Miner. Here it is, and read it all:â€" "Mining company officials and prosâ€" pectors who have in the past tried to operate in privately owned timber limâ€" its and who have encountered the regâ€" ulations which call for payment for all timber used will sympathize with the beaver of Timagami Reserve, Whisâ€" pering Bill Smith reports that the beaver have all disappeared. Upon inâ€" quiry it develogk, says Bill, that they »bjected to paying the stumpage dues. But you know how truthful Bill is. "He tells another story about Bishop Anderson, the Cochrane clergyman who has a vast diocese in the hinterâ€" land. It appears that his reverence Phis Just About Settles the Whole Bear Problem in the course of his extraordinary duâ€" ties helped out a trapper financially and the latter occasionally made a call uron him when he was out of the bush. On one occasion he brought in a chunk of rock, showed it to his lordship, who, being no mineral expert, threw the sample to one side. Some time later the bishop entertained a prospector friend who spotted the rock, examined casually and then became visibly inâ€" terested. He took it out to the kitchen, wet it in the orthodox manner and then We quite excited as he stuâ€" died it under the glass The sample was pilastered with gold.

N. 0. is now in full posâ€" session of the townsite of Moosonet, and can proceed with plans for its deâ€" velopment. A weekly train is now being run there fro Cochrans and return, which service‘ will be made ;ribre frequent, no doubt, when the erâ€" ection of buildings commences. Before c dh MA oc spring is over there will be a priublic sale of town lots, which will attract much attention; and this will be folâ€" lowed by a trek of tourists ever on the hunt for new nocks and corners for pleasure sojourns. The Dominion government has put a very modest amount in the 1932 estimates to build a wharf at Moosonee. This can only be regarded as a tentative move toâ€" ward doing the right thing for Onâ€" tario‘s first seaport. When it is made clear that export shipments can be successfully made through Moosonee, and that import cargoes can be lighâ€" tered economically at the new port, there will be need for more extensive harbor works. Try The Advance wWan:t Advertisements Reforestation is Urged for Ontario Speaker at Rotary Club in Bowmanâ€" ville Shows Value of the Bush Lot to the ordinary Farm. An interesting and instructive address i was recently delivered by G. M. Linâ€" ton, of the Provincial Forest Station.! Orono, Ont., before the Rotary Club in Bowmanville, Ont. He spoke on reâ€" forestation in the province and said in part: "It is not many years since we heard the orator deciaiming upon the inexhausible forest wealth of our Doâ€" minion. Butâ€"no longer do we hear those words. As the limits at present held are cut over there are no new areas to be picked up in the next townâ€" shin The cream of the logging has been skimmed and the lumberman must go deeper and deeper into the wilderness and make logs of more and more inferior quality. The last of the white pine areas are being tapped and the Norway pine is nearing exhaustion â€"balsam, hemlock are being cut in inâ€" creasing quantities to make up the shortageâ€"but to make up that shortage with inferior material. The lumberâ€" man on the West Coast is being forced to cut by heavy interest charges. This has resulted in overâ€"production which has caused a serious slump reacting disâ€" astrously on our lumbermen of the Fast. Bu: from the best information which I can Oobtain thirty to forty years is placed as the limit for the huge timber areas of the West coast at the present rate of cut. Truly the condiâ€" tion of our forest resources is a matter l which merits the gravest consideration. "In Ontaric a beginning was made n reforestation in 1909, when the Proâ€" vincial Forest Station at St. Williams in Norfolk County was organized. For: a number of years the work progressed slowly an average of 250,000 to 300,000 trees being distributed each year. After the war, however, a greatly added imâ€" Ipetus was given reforestation and, as a result the stick produced for disiriâ€" | bution rapidly increased until by 1922, 3.000,000 trees were available each year. Still the demand far exceeded the supply and in that year two other areas were purchasedâ€"one at Midhurst in Simcoe County, the other at Orono in Durham County. Since these nurseries â€" have come into production we have been able to keep pace with the rapidly increasing demand and maintain a small surplus for planting on crown. lands. "To the farmer the woodlot is a source of real value. In the first place wood and timber are now becoming regarded in the same way as any other crop on the farm. Farms with woodlots are more readily marketable being more quickly bought by purchasers who conâ€" sider the aesthetic value of the trees as well as by those who view only the liquid asset which is furnished. Run down woodlots respond readily to Ccare and implroved methods of management by greatly increased growth not only of volume but also of quality. They permit the use of and furnish an inâ€" come from lands which would in many cases be only a liability.

Teck township officials are making determined efforts to check the spread of the disease and believe that they have it now under control with the chance of further cases much minimized. Oné day last week there were said to be 21 cases of common measles and 2 cases of German meaâ€" sles. Eleven cases had developed the week before. It appears as if reportâ€" ie ing of all cases and enforcement of quarantine would lessen the epidemic form of such diseases. In this the public has to give wholeâ€"hearted coâ€" operation, or stringent measures, like those in regard to the throat disease at Kirkland Lake a couple of years ago have to be adopted. WELLâ€"KNOWN KIRKLAND LAKE FOOTBALL PLAYER KILLED ‘The Northern News, of Kirkland Lake, last week says:â€""The finding of the remains of a human body, manâ€" gled beyond recognition, was the exâ€" perience of a crew of a North bound freight at 2 a.m. on Wednesday morning at Swastika. The torso was located near the water tank and fragments of his body were found as far as the staâ€" tion. He was identified as ‘Alex. Walâ€" kinshaw, well known football player, by a name on his inside pocket and by a photograph in one of his pockets. An inquest has been ordered for the evenâ€" ing of March I6th. Walkinshaw has not had steady employment for some weeks. It is learned that he had inâ€" tended to go to South Porcupine where he had an opportunity to secure work at the Dome Mines. On Tuesday evenâ€" ing about five o‘clock he had visited friends at 86 Second street and went to the West House, Kirkland street, where he boarded for supper. About eight o‘clock he left for Swastika with the intention of riding a freight to Porcuâ€" pine. The deceased was about 32 years of age and was well and favourably known among wide circle of friends in Kirkland Lake. Through his conâ€" nection with the Lake Shore Football team, in which he was a star DACK field player, he was a familiar figure to many. He was born in Sceotland where his wife is now visiting.

Anyway the rush is on, rich and poor alike, are selling gold articles. It is reported that one baronet reoenQy at Manchester went and sold his "bally coronet, by jove." Then there was the dear old society lady who went and sold her gold toasting fork,â€"‘A family beirloom, my dear, but no use now; I have an electric toaster." Last, but by no means the least, is the East Lonâ€" doner who "went and got rid of ‘is blocming munchers," so that the govâ€" ernment could have the gold fillings. Nevertheless the whole thing shows one point and that is that the Englishman is trying hard to fight depression and making sacrifices to reach the goal. It would be a good thing for Canada if such a scheme as the above was comâ€" menced and all the unemployed and the exâ€"servicemen reâ€"established with the proceeds gathered in. Ottawa Branch Doing Great Work A recent communication from Otâ€" tawa tells of the relief work being done in that city.. Ottawa at the present time is the hub for exâ€"servicement who TL OO O O 0000 hi mss tss e ces mm it uen ie en omm e ic think they have a remote chance for pension. From north, south, east and west they come, the result being that Ottawa finds itse‘f overrun with men for whom there is no work. The Ot-| tawa branch of the Legion quickly reaâ€" | lized the situation and enlisted citizens ! and business men to seek a solution.l The result has been gratifying indeed.. Three hostels are maintained, the men given bed and board. Rigid rules are maintained and discipline is essential; this has helped the scheme, and in consequence no trouble of any kind has been experienced. In February over 34,000 meals were served and around 390 beds occupied each night. The government has also assisted in the work by providing buildings and equipment. While Ottawa can boast of what it is doing, the Timmins branch need not take a back seat. Since the end of November last year over $600.00 has been expended in relief work, with hundreds of meals given to men who were unable to purchase same.
