"From the Sudbury Star we quote the following figures as representing the amount of monsey having been spent in various parts of the North by Norâ€" thern Ontario Development Branch, a certain proportion of which was reâ€" ceived from the Federal and Provincial "The grand total said to have been expended on the Ferguson highway rom Washago to Cochranse, was $1,â€" 163,916.81. Of this amount no less than $658.173.62 was sp>nt in the Huntsville section of the Ferguson highway. special relief funds. From these figures it will be seen that "all the money spent" in Northern Ontario is not goâ€" ing into the Temiskaming mining and agricultural districts, although it has bsen the endeavour of from the territory at each end of Lake Superior to make that a special plea when they "gang" Provincial Governâ€" ments for anything they want. Takâ€" ing the figures as presented in The Star, we give the following information : "Total amount said to have beon exâ€" pended through the Northern Ontario Development Department is $8,285,â€" 342.65. The Federal and Provincial reâ€" lief contributed $2,000,000 of the above amcunt. "Sudbury division received special attention from th> Northern Developâ€" ment Branch, as we notice the imâ€" mense sum of $1,175,608.61 was spent on work in that district. "Sault Ste. Marie district, that ilHlâ€" treated part of Northern Ontario, where they encourage secessionists and taik of wrecking governments if their requests are not granted. received the sum of $785,884.02 on various forms of government work. : "New Liskeard division, which inâ€" cludes a wide area and considerable new road work, and considerable new road work, received a total of $716,â€" 945.65. No less than $312 079.58 of this amount went for extensive bridge and fill work along a considerable stretch of the Ferguson highway. $29,158.00 was expended on the New Liskeardâ€" Elk Lake highway; $10,801.29 to open up the nwe road into the Matachewan mining territory and $5,204.83 on work on the Elk Lakeâ€"Charliton road. "Matheson division called for an exâ€" penditure of $777,402.28, of which amcount the Ferguson highway receivâ€" ed $135,840.00. "The amount of $869,438.55 was spent in the immense and rapidly growing section known as Cochrane (district N3. T). $19358 of this amount went for Ferguson highway work and $259,â€" 583 on the highway from Cochrane to Hearst. Rural roads and general reâ€" lief work indicates that Cochrane disâ€" trict received a larger share of governâ€" ment funds for this class of work than any other community, The condition of Cochrane in relation to other govâ€" ernment work placed them in a peculiar position, which was most embarrassing to the citizens and called for greater consideration at the hands of the govâ€" ertnment. "The district of Fort William cerâ€" tainly has no kick coming, when comâ€" pared with other sections of Northern Ontario. Fort William division had a grand total expenditure of $1,105,085.52 which was received from the Northern Devalopment Branch. "Kenora‘s quota was $852,605, while the sum of $473.235 was spent on the Kenoraâ€"Manitoba highway, being A link in the transâ€"Canada highway. "The smallest amount spent in any one division was received by the Fort Francis Division, which was $376,258.09. "While we "are very pileased to see that the Northern Ontario Developâ€" ment Branch has been able to expend such large amounts in the various parts of the North, we would suggest to our readers the advisability of holding these figures in memory, so that they will be able to repudiate the statements of some of the Western Northern Onâ€" tario speakers when they repeat absurd allegations that Temiskaming and Cochâ€" rane districts are receiving all the assisâ€" tance given to Northern Ontario.

During the past six months nearly twice as much had been expended than| had been received, this being due toi the heavy calls during the winter months and to the fact that no effort had been made by the Legion to the public for assistance.

Several Arrests Made by Police in Noranda. Monday morning of this week word was received in town of the murder of Steve Olechuk on street in Noranda, the crims taking place about four c‘clock on Sunday morning. Few particulars of the crime were given the despatches simply stating that Olechuk had been killed by an unknown assailâ€" ant, but it was not suggested whether he had been shot, stabbled, clubbed or otherwise dealt with. The despatchss referred to Olechuk as being 40 years of age and having been empfoved at the mines for several years. He was on the working staff of the Noranda Mine. The murdered man is described as phenomenally strong and active, which would suggest that he was likely attacked by more than one man. In any event the Noranda police have made a number of arrests in connecâ€" tion with the case. An autopsy was conducted this week by a medicoâ€"legal expert of the Atâ€" torneyâ€"General‘s Dept. of the province of Quebec. There is no doubt but that Chief of Police Wilfred Perreault of Norandza will be a busy man these days and will leave no stonc unturned to bring the guilty to punishment. Noranda has been free from major crime and Chief Perreault will be particularly anxious to keep it so, and he will follow the British idea that the way to discourage crime is by secsing that rrinishment for criminals is speedy and certain. Chisf Perreault was for several years on the police force in Timmins and has wide circles of friends here who will follow his work on this case with much inâ€" terest. lMeets every First and Third Tuesday ‘of the month in the Oddfellows hal, | Timmins Meets on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday o every month in the Oddfellows‘ Hall Cornish Social Clab G.
